    Flowerhorn, male or female?

    She's in a 55 by herself so she shouldn't have any issues healing up now that I have her. I do plenty of water changes. I added a little salt to help with healing. She eats well and I have everything under the sun for food...NLS pellets, a few types of Northfin pellets, frozen krill, frozen...

    Flowerhorn, male or female?

    I picked this flowerhorn up the other day from a LFS. She is a bit banged up, maybe someone was trying to breed her. I say her but I'm not 100% certain it's female. Has black markings and/or flowers on dorsal fin like a female. The Kok is either really small for a male or pretty big for a...

    Having some food issues.

    I shut my pumps off before I feed so food don't go into the overflow. I have Google home and Google home mini speakers through the house. I added a smart switch to my pumps. Now I just say " hey Google turn off the pumps" then I feed. After several minutes I use a large plastic spoon to swish...

    MFK I need your help and support warding off tank change compulsion (Petros & Tropheus)

    I had the hap and peacock tank. Even a bucco in there. It was fun for awhile, really liked the colors but after awhile I couldn't deal with the lack of character and personality. Was like watching a tank full of feeder gold fish. I sold them all on Craigslist to a local who was very much a...

    My rockwork...what to do

    I would get a background if even one of the flatter backgrounds that don't stick out that much. Fish are big so you wouldn't need to silicone the edges with the flatter ones, just drop it in. You could cut it to clear the the over flow and outlets. The reason I would do this is because the blue...

    African Cichlid Guessing Game

    Your right that is for sure Helianthus and not Pulcher. But before you said brichardi and I knew it wasnt that. I have seen some yellow Pulcher but Helianthus have more yellow and a very pronounces V on their Gill plate. Well I guess that ends this thread. I guessed wrong but you gave up the...

    African Cichlid Guessing Game

    Neolamprologus pulcher sp. Daffodil That picture is of a Pulcher and specifically a daffodil. The yellow and the blue in the fins and the purple V on the gills. Brichardi are not nearly as yellow and more cream color and they don't have a purple V on the Gill plate. Brichardi have more blue on...

    Questions about a125gal Peacock tank

    One more thing. The aragonite sand and crush coral don't really make my water that much harder then how it comes out of the tap. I'm in Sacramento and the water is fairly hard and 7.8. I have it in there to keep it from ever dropping. Like others have said it's better to keep it stable. I like...

    Questions about a125gal Peacock tank

    I wouldn't use aquarium salt for water hardness. I only add about a tablespoon of salt to my 180 and it's only for helping with osmotic pressure and only a tiny bit is needed for that. Most people don't use salt at all and get by just fine. Obviously there are medical uses such as treating ich...

    Questions about a125gal Peacock tank

    In my opinion which ain't worth anything, tropheus are a good speciality tank for advanced hobbyist. A speciality tank being tanks in addition to your main tanks. In other words if you only have one tank I would make it something interesting to not just you but everyone in the house or visits...

    Opinions on the gender of this OB

    Impossible to know for sure but I would guess female. I have what I thought was an all male hap/peacock tank. All the fish very colorful and then two of the solid bright orange peacocks that had tons of egg spots on their anal fins started holding and wasn't long before I saw the little eyes in...

    South American 180

    The tank is pretty peaceful most the time. I had a mean Oscar before but traded him. These two Oscar's are harmless. The crawfish can get pretty nasty but most the fish are smart enough to keep their distance. The only exception is the Pleco. They fight for the same spot under a log. The Pleco...

    South American 180

    The Oscar's don't pay the Angels any attention at all. The crawfish on the other hand has ruffed up the Oscar's a couple times.

    crayfish ?

    The only bass I have is a 3" kelb in a grow out tank. I have a giant redclaw crayfish in my 180 that is around 8" but no I haven't tried to feed my bass to my crawfish.:D
