I have a 75 gallon tank with a Green Terror pair in it. I also have a large common pleco in the tank who I am rehoming soon. I moved recently and I could no longer put the tank in my bedroom, so I am now trying to turn it into a display tank, which unfortunately means I can no longer keep the...

I have a electric blue Texas cichlid around 5 inches and was wondering if anyone knows the sex.

Here is a hypothetical: Dovii x Convict Cichlid hybrid. I know, I know, these are very different fish that will never get along. Again, this is just hypothetical. I just read a thread on cichlid crossbreeding, and it sounds like almost all Central American cichlids are genetically similar...

Hi everyone. I have had this Texas x red parrot for a couple of years now and for as long as I have known he would always develop red swellings that would later ulcerate. The ulcers remain for 1-2 months before they heal over by which time ulcers would have developed elsewhere. They form in...

Just showing off my Geophagus Tapajos. One of my favorite fish to keep I love how these fish aren't skittish, always get so inquisitive when you place your hands in tank, and swarm around your hand as soon as you start messing with/stirring around the substrate wanting to see what you have...

As mentioned in a recent thread - (https://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/forums/threads/the-fish-of-dubai’s-desert-lakes.717880/) I got some decent underwater footage of the fish in Al Qudra lakes, Dubai. It was a little tricky filming as when I walked I threw up sediment and fine sand, so some...

I have a breeding pair of rainbow cichlids who have successfully bred and raised fry before and have been together without incident for at least 6 months. Their latest batch of fry has led to a real mystery and something I never thought I would see with fish. The male has about half the fry on...

I have a dragon blood African cichlid in a 20g for now. I had to move him from a large terror blood parrot. They used to be housed in a 40 gallon but the blood parrot got mean and chased him around. I didn't see what the problem was, the blood parrot clearly has no way of inflicting damage to...

Is it normal for Jack's to lay eggs on side glass? I have tons of flat surfaces in the tank... but she chose the glass instead lol

I bought a 60 gallon tank because it was mega cheap (price matched from an online shop that had it on sale $200 off, whoop whoop) and I'm now planning what to put in it. I think I've decided that I would really like an Oscar. I've been doing my research and so far have learned that 60 gallons is...

Great thread I read recently has some good info on feeders and nutrition. Had me reading up. The Piranha Nutrition Thread Also had me looking for Thiamine (B1) containing foods and good warning to me regarding freeze dried minnows/ thiaminase. Not sure the freeze dried process neutralizes this...
