Good morning. In my quest to find nice stocking for a 250L tank I am getting in less than a month and I don't think an African oddball tank would work for me. So I have decided to look into discus and some other things. The tank is a 4ft 250L long tank that will have a double DIY canister...

Hey guys Need to move a couple cichlids hopefully before the storm. If you want some nice fish for a low price before the snow storm, I have what you need. These guys (minus the tilapia) were living with my stingrays but they all nipped a ray at one time or another so they gotta go. Before I...

I bought a 55 gallon aquarium with my Christmas money recently and I cycled it with the most hardy fish my pet store had. Convict cichlids. Just watching their personalities come out was just amazing and I grew attached. I have 2 males and 2 females in the 55 at the moment. They are not breeding...

Hi all! I have a black belt cichlid that needs to be moved out of its grow out tank since it is beginning to show aggression to others. This fish is 4 to 5 inches. At what size can I add this fish into a 300 gallon with much larger 9 to 10 inch cichlids (Jag, Bifa and Mayan)?

I don't know much about fish, the tank is actually my husbands, but I noticed the two cichlids attacking our tire track eel. They were chasing him around the tank and pushing their way under our rocks when he tried to hide. We have a semi aggressive tank but everyone is pretty small, the...

Hey I've used Jeff Rapps at least 5 times in the last 7 years and he's great but I was just at his site and I'm not really finding a good mix of cichlids that I want. Who else out there has a good stock list that I can trust to ship to Phoenix?
