Hey guys, just getting back into the hobby after a break due to a tank busting in my living room, but that's a thread for another day. I picked this guy up at a local fish store. They told me it was red tail borleyi but I'm having my doubts. He's about 2 inches long and has good color showing...

Currently I have a Red terror(female) and a Greenterror which I will be moving to a 120 gallon and I was wondering if I can put some dither fish to help control the aggression. If I am able to put dither fish which fish should I get. Both of my cichlids are around 6 inches.

They stopped fighting and started to prepare the tank for breeding :) . Red Texas x super red dragon flowerhorn Cichlids

Hi guys, title pretty much says it. I have a school of 6 livingstonii and 7 compressips. As they get larger I would like to keep either one or the other type and breed them. Both are spawning now. But I think the tank will be to small in the long run for everyone. Who would you choose? I...

I've had a blood parrot cichlid named Sissypants for 8 years. About 5 years I got another BP named Igor. They are now a mated pair (although not fertile). However Igor is a dick. He grew huge and ugly and is a complete bully in my tank. He bullies the other BP and my giant Polyepterus...

Hey all, For any of you that keep South American fish, there is a massive field guide coming out for identifying fish from the Amazon, Orinoco, and Guianas regions. This should be a major upgrade from books focusing on only the commonly-imported aquarium fish. Really, nothing this in-depth has...

I haven't posted in quite some time, so hello again fellow MFKers! I've finally thinned down my synspila growouts down to this guy right here. I had a healthy batch of red head fry growing out for quite some time, but as they got bigger I thinned them down to keep up with the tank load. I had...

Recently started breeding projects again - what are your thoughts on first stage feeding - is dry food enough - only live brineshrimp? A mix of both? Anyone tried ocean nutrition prehatched brineshrimp.. hikari first bites? Any others? Tips for microworms etc - just looking for feeding tips...

Is it possible to house a jag, two oscars and two green terrors in a nearly 8ft 600L tank with 1000L of filtration and using dividers at first to lower aggression? I've heard you can have an oscar in a 75g and then for every other oscar you only need an extra 30g with good filtration and...
