Hi everyone! This is Shubham from Kolkata, India. I am relatively new to the fish-keeping hobby and have only a couple of years of experience. I want to set up a 90-gallon (4' L, 2' H, 1.5' W) South American tank. I plan to use sand as substrate, a large piece of driftwood with some rocks, and...

I’ve been keeping fish for a while and have kept pretty much everything under the sun yet I have no clue what’s going on in my 75 gallon biotope. About 2 weeks ago I lost three juvenile red head tapajos each 2 days apart from eachother, all eating well, fully colored up, healthy looking fish...

Hello everyone, I have 90 gallon tank stocked with 4 blue acaras, 2 angel fish, and a dwarf pleco. The tank has been set up for about 4 months and all the fish get along great luckily! However, the acaras are still very shy even though I have a fair amount of decorations and the light is an LED...

so i've been looking around online and i can't find any of these available let alone wild caught. am in the uk south west and was wondering if there's any uk breeders out there who would ship if they had any or just someone who has a pair and wants to move them on. fish in picture not mine.

So everyone thinks it’s male based off vents but female off side pics. What y’all think?

Hello chaps and chapettes My Geophagus Tapajos have yet another batch of fry, thought I would try and get some close ups of their larvophile mouthbrooding behavior. My colony of 7 geos is about 2.5 years old now. The largest is just shy of 17cm, and the smallest just over 12cm.

Hi all! New to the site here, and keeping big fish in general and want some opinions. I’m going to be moving soon and will be capitalizing on it to do a necessary upgrade from a 55 gallon to hopefully a 90-125 gallon tank. Issue is I’m moving to a 3rd floor apartment. The fish I have right now...

I need a group of Geos for my 300. Having a hard time finding a decent group. Willing to drive around the mid Atlantic to find some.

I am interested in the affects of aging on Cichlids. If you have a Cichlid that is about about 3/4 through its lifespan please show me. This also includes hybrids and African Cichlids but there is no section for Cichlids in general so I posted it here.

Hi this is my 180 gallon tank. I recently picked up 4 C. Myersi and 5 Red Head tapajos. They are active and feeding but they only hang out at the bottom. They look fine and colorful. There's plenty of surface agitation so im not sure why they are at the bottom exclusively. Thanks!

I bought a Asian redtail catfish (black body with redtail) from my LFS and didn’t notice it untit two month later that it has no eyes. I don’t know if it’s a miss identification by the store. I call them and asked if this is normal and they said no that all of their red tails have eyes and this...

I recently bought a false jaguar catfish and he is absolutely wicked looking. The only problem is he never shows himself at all. It is frustrating. I know he doesn't eat much because the other fish beat him to it because he is always hiding! I started helping him a little by putting worms into...

Is this fungus? I have dealt with fungus before but have never had it this severe. I've had this fish for about 5 days and I've been treating him with meds for about 4 with melafix, putting in salt and turning the heat up. Any ideas what to do? Does it go away

Going to be exploring something different and trying aquarium photography, these pictures are of some of the fish in my 125. Let me know what y’all think

I got these guys back in September from Jeff Rapps. They are tank spawned from wild great grandparents that he imported, F3's. I ended up with three males and two females. One male jumped out of the tank, other one was rehomed. Casper did spawn with both females. First female, first batch...
