    Cyclopeeze

    i've used it with fry but frankly, haven't noticed any significant difference between those fry raised on this vs. those raised on other 'fry' foods.

    Can i have turtles in my tank?

    turtles almost always live an unhealthy and short life in an aquarium due to inadequate care. in my opinion and in the opinion of most herpetologists, turtles are not appropriate pets for those without a full understanding of the tremendous amount of care they require. The care and feeding is...

    How to harden water?

    Slate is a fine-grained, homogeneous, metamorphic rock, mainly composed of quartz and muscovite or illite, often along with biotite, chlorite, hematite, pyrite, kaolin, magnetite, tourmaline, or zircon as well as feldspar. it will do nothing positive or negative to the hardness of water. in...

    ID Please

    the 'blotched' fish in question are OB Peacocks. they do not NOT look anything like electric blue dempseys. neither does the darker fish look anything like a moori 'except for the mouth'. isn't that much like saying it looks like an african knifefish except for the mouth, color, shape and...

    Cichlid ID please :)

    it is in fact Cryptoheros nanoluteus a completely different species. a convict cichlid is Cryptoheros nigrofasciatus. you can call it anything you want, including 'yellow convict' but that doesn't make it so. there are many species in the Cryptoheros genus ... that doesn't make them all...

    Cichlid ID please :)

    now THOSE are both pink convicts. the pink one looks the way a 'pink' convict 'should' look. the yellow one, probably only looks yellow because of some artifice in the tank such as yellow gravel or the way your film projects yellow under certain lighting conditions. if it is in fact 'yellow'...

    Cichlid ID please :)

    convict cichids at that size have distinct verticle black bars beginning just behind the eye. these bars number seven in the majority but can be fewer or more depending on how much the fish has been inbred. here's what a strue spilurus 'should' look like. since the fish posted for...

    Cichlid ID please :)

    well, you're 100 percent wrong. there is no 'yellow' convict and pink convicts do NOT look yellow. you guys toss guesses around like flower petals at a wedding, but have no idea what fish you're talking about. sheeesh, mee-mee, that fish is certainly NOT a moori and a great many male central...

    I.D help

    it's certainly not a frontosa but neither is it a johanni. the body is too rounded and the mouth is wrong for any melanochromis species ... i make it a hybrid something or other.

    royal has sunken belly

    Panaque nigrolineatus, as this fish is known scientifically, can be a very difficult fish to maintain. it should be provided with an aquarium of at least 45 gallons and plenty of caved and rocky areas for hiding. They generally lie around during the day, while feeding at night. this fish is...

    Tankmates Needed for Archer, Pleco, and Needlefish

    . yes, actually it is. your tank is too small for the mature size of the fish you already have. adding more will only compound the problem.

    JD breathing heavy and scratching mouth and gill plates

    while 35 ppm nitrate isn't high enough to cause a problem in and of itself, it is indicative of either over stocking, insufficient water change, insufficient gravel vacuuming, over feeding etc., all of which can cause stressfull conditions and a parasite problem which it sounds like you may have.
