    Well that explains a lot

    I couldn’t figure out why one of my electric blue Acara was hiding in the corner all the time, even though the two I bought were getting along so well (together and with the other fish) previously. Turns out there are little eggs laid all over the ornament she’s been hovering over the last few...

    Chocoalte Cichlid shock?

    I had a chocolate cichlid with a pair of blood parrots, green Severum, and one electric blue acara in a 75 gallon.

    What is sticking out of my acara?

    I noticed my sort of new acara has something white protruding from his vent/anal area. When I first bought him/her I treated with paraguard and triple sulfa to treat any possible problems. That was about a month ago. He’s since been moved to a 90 gallon and is eating well, swimming normally, and...

    I just recently (within the last 2 weeks) moved my fish from my established 125 to a new 180 gallon aquarium.
