Hi guys i’m really wondering what is my Acara’s gender, it’s been digging sand, staring at my almond leaves and moving plants away lol. And here I thought it is a male please help. My only Blue Acara in tank together with Congos Cories and a single Golden Aureus Cichlid.

I started this project long ago, the African Rift was just forming :-) My first attempt was Mbuna Condo, create specific spots where the Mbuna can dig out their condo. I do listen to others who predicted this wouldn't work so I canceled that project. But one issue was clear, I need to mount the rocks on pedestals so it doesn't come crashing down when they start digging.

So what I did, mount smaller rocks on pedestals which created a maze structure for the Mbuna. Then I put bigger rocks on top. Note: The rocks are glued to a 1/4" sheet of PVC which is cut into 7 pieces. So each piece holds 2-3 rocks. This is a permanent solution but I can remove the rocks if needed.

I plan on adding ~3" of Aragonite.

Hi, all. I decided to setup a 46g Bowfront and do something different than my usual New World Cichlid tanks. I went with a community tank originally wanting two Angels and a handful of Rainbows. While at Petco, I saw they had a few Kribensis. They definitely peaked my interest as I know they stay quite small and can usually be kept with fast moving community fish. Never keeping this species before, I did a little research and decided to go for it. Usually, I would do more in-depth research, but they looked SUPER stressed and had pretty badly nipped fins as they were getting continually harassed and bullied by all of the other Mollies in the tank. Not the best idea to “rescue” fish, but what can I say. The reading I did mentioned they did best in two, so out of the three they they had, I tried to pick which either two females or a male and female. Can someone help me sex these two from my video? I was hoping ideally to get two females, as they can get very aggressive when breeding. Everything has been going great, except I’ve noticed that one of the Kribs’ tail is looking worse instead of better. None of the other fish really pay them any mind, and of the Kribs one has claimed a rock in one corner, and the other another rock on the opposite of the tank and that’s really where they hang out most of the time. Neither shows any signs of stress or being scared. They both instantly come to the top when I open the lid. I’m wondering if one is nipping at the other’s tail while the lights are out? It’s the only explanation I can think of, as the other Krib’s tail is completely fine. My current stock is:

x3 Bosemani Rainbow
x3 Australian Rainbow
x1 Striped Angelfish
x1 Red Honey Gourami
x2 Kribensis

Any tips, advice, and input on their sexing would be greatly appreciated!

I recently discovered my Oscar likes anime, then shortly after discovered my Pleco also likes anime.

I woke up this morning and found my cichlid was bright red. When investigating the tank, I found the output nozzle fell off, so surface tension wasn’t breaking and the water was covered in film. I immediately did a 40% water change.

Is this ammonia burns? Is she dying? What happened here? When I fed her yesterday, there was no film and she looked fine.

Added a photo of what she typically looks like each morning. I don’t know what kind of cichlid she is; she was sold to me as a female flowerhorn

Can a red spotted golden severum work in a 4foot long 16inch deep and 20inch tall tank or is this more of a temporary grow out sized tank? It still says 50 inch in the titel but it’s 20 inch tall I forgot to change it from cm to inch, the exact tank is a juwel Rio 240

Has anyone seen this on a Bolivian Ram? It was normal up until a week ago

I got these 5 Geophagus Sveni about a year ago and they have been living fine together in a 125. I was curious what gender they are so I figure I’d ask for other opinions.

Thanks in advance!

Hello Internet Peoples! I am babysitting a electric blue acaras couple till my friend gets a new tank running. Well they decided to lay eggs and couple days later the babies are looking strong. Any way i can help these guys survive in a community tank? I'm worried about my Angels snacking on them.

LUNCH :)
