About a week ago I brought a group of ornatum cichlids between 3-4 inches they are surprisingly not as aggressive as I thought and i have a pair who are always together here are some pics

I have 1 male and 1 female texas cichlid alone in a 4 foot tank and the male won't stop trying to kill the female . They are divided at the moment and no matter how long I wait ( they've been divided for months ) he still tries to kill her . The water parameters and temp are all perfect . What...

I've had mixed opinions on weather this is a male or female either way am Happy how he or she is growing an looking. Would be great to know what the actual sex is. Thanks will upload pic later as won't let me at this time

I've recently stumbled upon a neat little fish online- the yellow convict or cryptoheros nanoluteus, or archocentrus nanoluteus, but I'm having trouble finding adequate info on them or where to find them. The basics that I have found is that they will grow to about 4 inches, are "sensitive" or...

i like them to have nice green/blue coloration, i like inteligent/aware/owner responsive predators, id give them them a big pot to breed in at the end of the tank. I'd build a lot of good hiding places with my ex-marinetank live rock and big pieces of bogwood for the juvaniles to survive in...

I have a school of eight Tiger barbs in my 200 gallon, 7' x 2' x 2', aquarium. There were a couple more fish I wanted before I would consider it fully stocked. Currently the largest fish in the aquarium is the Blood Parrot, but the Bala's and Pleco will surpass him. I was looking for more...
