    Firemouths bred!

    The dad is about 5" and the mom is maybe 3". They seem to be very good parents, keeping the other fish away and I am glad to have seen them in breeding colors because they are gorgeous. If you put your face up to the tank they will charge you, gills red and flared. VERY COOL. The babies sleep...

    Algae wafer battle royale in the 55g. Jade goby, jurupari, CAE, angel and molly

    Awesome. Algae tab battles are some of my favorite in my own tank. I like the mildly tame nipping that goes on right before the goby bursts out of his hiding spot. Great looking fish!

    Why piranhas?

    The piranhas hide as soon as anything besides food is in the tank. A net or a vacuum send them huddled up and hiding in a corner. Not very scary ;)

    sun cats

    My sun cat got a little too big for his cave but he likes to sit ON the plants and play dead all day. As soon as your turn out the tank like and step away he starts to cruise like a shark. He's one of our favorites and personally, I love the markings and colorations. Really gorgeous olive...

    I have a sun/eclipse catfish in my tank. Should be fine in a 125, slow grower.. very cute. After a year mine is at about 8". He's a cruiser when the lights are out... stalks the tank like a shark.

    55 gallon non-semi aggressive tank

    Very cool! Love Saint Walker (fish and character! lol). You should start a line of 55 gal tanks themed for each Corps with appropriate colored fish!! lol

    Clown knife eat a Pleco?

    I had a clown knife kill a small pleco. I think the armor deterred him but he eventually got to the pleco's belly and bit it out. >_< Keep an eye out!

    Fishroom electrical question

    Trying to look up online about a fish room's electrical needs. Having a hard time, plus I am uneducated in the ways of electrical work. Would the one dedicated outlet be enough for the 4 tanks? Any helpful input is appreciated.

    Fishroom electrical question

    My spouse and I are making ourselves a mini fish room in our basement. This weekend we cleaned out the corner and we have a nice area to work with. We will have to build ourselves some stands, but first we are worried about the electrical. The corner has it's own dedicated outlet on it's own...

    Post pix of your Blood Parrot Cichlids here!!!

    One of my 4 parrots can close it's mouth.. but it has a different head shape and stuff than the others. One of mine has a slightly deformed mouth but it doesn't hinder him eating at all.

    blood parrot debate.

    I would only recommend a 55gal if the fish is alone. Our BP has gone from a 35 to a 55 and now in a 150 community. While he was in the 55 we has a small community tank and it was clear that it was not enough room. He's now about 7" and 4-5 years old, thriving well in the big tank with some...

    Aquarium island brainchild.

    I'd like to see something like that with a live plant.. with the plant hanging down off of it. Making a hiding area for the fish under the plants.. like a weeping willow in your fish tank!

    need stocking suggestions for a 150 gallon tank

    I have a 150 and it's a community tank with all peaceful to semi-aggressive fish. Seems like you have a tall 150 (mine is 72" long and not as wide as yours). Theres a ton of options. I happen to like the activity in a community tank, being able to have active bottom dwellers, fast schooling...

    What's the smartest fish you have ever owned?

    My blood parrots are pretty smart, but my large one is the smartest. We've owned him the longest. He loves to know whats going on outside the tank and even when we are in a completely different room, he seems to be able to know where we are and watches us through whatever side of the tank we are...
