are you sure it's not that they can't see eachother that well? you could always put a different bulb in and see what happens. Demasoni are known for being nasty so I wouldn't worry about a bulb causing his problem.. KYle

wow, those convicts are worth TONS of money. Finding convicts that won't breed you out of house and home has got to be a record :) :laugh: how many times have they spawned? many cichlids take a few tries before they get the hang of it. Also, some dither fish might be in order. I could...

I'd opt for a small sponge filter like a hydro-sponge 0 or 1 myself. I just received a dozen from www.kensfish.com actually.... The sponge will be less likely to suck up the shrimp or any babies if they will breed (depends on the type of shrimp as to whether you'll have babies or not). Plus...

pretty hard to tell from the photo but doesn't look all that fat. are you wanting to keep the fry? If so, go find yourself a penn-plax aqua-nursery. they run off air-power and are excellent for this type of livebearer. The mother goes into the main container which has a "funnel" at the...

sorry, I got interrupted with that last reply and never got to actually trying to answer the question at hand. I believe dragon gobies are nearly blind so possibly they are having a problem finding the food or maybe it's just not enticing to them. What if you were to try some live worms and...

many fish will eat hair algae, what size tank and fish do you have? Kyle

salt may harm some fish but in most cases it will not. I keep a little salt in ALL of my 60 or so tanks I have running at the moment. I have never had a fish die from salt being added to the tank.. also, not all "freshwater" fish will die in brackish conditions, especially many...

never messed with one but many online vendors (and some local stores) will have parts for filters, maybe you can fix it without having to completely replace it. You might even be able to buy them directly from the manufacturer. Kyle

I have not used one but understand the basic principals behind them. As for experienced people, you'd be better off talking to a reef tank group because 90% of UV's are used in that case... Greenwater can possibly be controled with a UV filter but finding the source of the greenwater is the...

when I tried a fishless cycle, I had a hard time getting the nitrites to subside as well. water changes was the only thing I was able to do to get things under control. What type of water conditioner(s) are you using? I've heard some products like ammo-lock or some others may alter the test...

right now I have jewel cichlids (hemichromis guttatus) and convicts in a 29. the convicts are beating eachother up as usual but the breeding pair of jewels are doing great and the convicts seem to respect them because I have yet to find a nipped fin on them. I would think similary sized and...

you could possibly slow down their breeding by lowering the temp but not eliminate it without putting them on ice. telling males and females apart is fairly easy as long as you know what to look for. The anal fin (bottom of the fish just in front of the tail) will be triangular and rather...

a lot depends on why the water is cloudy. When the water gets cloudy, for whatever reason, the particles causing the cloudiness are usually too fine for the filter to pick up so you could have way more filtration on there than you have and not change a thing. What color does the water look...

edwardorino, sounds good to me, I'd definitely add a cory or two. never had the dwarf frog's but I know they are specialized to feed so probably not the best choice for a community tank. never really heard of aggression on their part but they are poor competing for food from what I...

Sorry to hear that, I've read they can be aggressive to tankmates, mine have prettymuch been by themselves except for some barbs for the first week or two I had them. I'd love to buy them from you if you would sell them to me. please contact me, my email is snakeskinnerkyle@yahoo.com...

Sibiyan, you need to work with the Fed's first. CITES is where you need to get your permits first, then Texas should be a piece of cake. Texas World Aquarium has Gigas and I know the Tulsa Zoo has one around 7ft. I just had a friend that had bought a couple around a foot long and was...

not just anyone can buy them, legally anyway. as Spartan said, they are CITES controlled so without all the permit's, you can't buy them. They are somewhat endangered in their natural habitat due to sport fishing but they are rampant in asia where they are bred for sport fishing. I read an...

the best thing for you to do is send me your fish! I bought a pair of nicholsi last year. They were both around 3 inches and I put them in a 10 gallon with some miscellaneous barbs temporarily until I could get a tank setup for them specifically to breed in. Two days before I left on a...

You really need to look into a larger tank. All of those fish like to push and bully eachother around and they will all get around 2" a piece so they need more room to avoid eachother. KYle

I've cracked many a part on my python. It's just going to happen with plastic parts that are moved and threaded so often. If the washer's aren't the culprit, inspect for any cracks where the water is coming from. you can buy replacement parts for the python from many fish supply places and...
