    New larger tank - What to add to existing stock

    Festivums may be neat. While I like the look of a severum, it appears that they may tear up all my plants. So that pretty much rules them out. Doing some research I think these should all be OK with plants: Festivums Apistogramma Keyhole cichlid Cryptoheros nanoluteus Rainbow Cichlid...

    New larger tank - What to add to existing stock

    Yep, 2 extra feet of footprint.... ideally I want something a little larger since the tank is much larger. Small schooling fish are fine and I may add to the tetras I already have (increase their numbers, not add new types of tetra). More corys would be pretty cool actually, the way they follow...

    New larger tank - What to add to existing stock

    Tomorrow I am picking up a 125G that all the inhabitants of my 55G will ultimately move over to. Since I now have an additional 70 gallons of tank space, I am wondering what I can add to my current stock. The tank will be planted, low light with either turface (if I move it over) or play sand...

    55G center piece ideas

    I did look into Blue Acara's some, but from my research they would likely have made snacks of my tetras which ruled them out. I definitely miss having a big angel in the tank that's for sure, maybe one day I will put another in there to keep everyone in check. All the small fish just swim all...

    55G center piece ideas

    Not the best pictures, taken rather quickly with my phone, but should give an idea... ] The pair were digging in the substrate behind that large piece of driftwood making it next to impossible to see. Unfortunately it looks like at some point overnight the pit disappeared...

    55G center piece ideas

    Interesting you posted that, in an LFS at the weekend they had what were listed as wild leopoldi angels ($25 each!!) but looking online they more closely resemble Altums as they had the upturned nose. The mouths looked like the middle one here: And the fish looked identical to this...

    55G center piece ideas

    That is a nice looking fish, assuming with something like that it would have to be a single? Would there be any room for a couple of other smaller cichlids as well? I

    55G center piece ideas

    Any other idea's? Leaning towards S. American cichlids but not 100% sure what yet or how many.

    55G center piece ideas

    A few days ago my Angelfish passed away at the ripe old age of somewhere around 9 years old. So, now I have a tank which looks somewhat empty without anything bigger than a cory in there. While I may end up getting another angelfish, part of me wants to try something a little different. Anyone...

    Angelfish Planted Tank

    Yep, and I certainly would not do 6. As above 5-6 is pushing it in a 55G, I had 5 in a 55G, 2 of them paired off and I had to buy a 29G to move the pair into as they would attack anything that came near them in the 55G. Unless you plan to go buy the bigger tank tomorrow, either just get a...

    Angelfish Old Age

    Well, I did what (I hope) was the right thing to do, and it sucked. He had been laying in the same spot of the tank, completely flat on the gravel for about 48 hours. I moved him with the net gently and while he perked up and tried to swim away, just simply fell back to the gravel again. I...

    Angelfish Old Age

    To be honest I have not seen him poop for a while, but I have also not really looked! The only physical damage appears to be some scrapes from when he kind of acts a little weird and squeezes over the top of some driftwood in the tank. His color is still really good. No other fish appear to be...

    Angelfish Old Age

    Thanks. Thanks, he did spawn once or twice but was never frequently spawning with a female. Thanks. Quick update, I think I am at that point where I have to make the crappy decision of whether to ease him potentially suffering or not. If I watch him he sometimes swims around, but he is...

    Angelfish Old Age

    Thanks both, I agree I think 9 years is a good life and he has made it through all sorts.... tank moves, house moves, fighting with other angels, extended power outages etc. He seems to be moving around a little more this morning, but I am sure will slow down again as the day goes on.

    Angelfish Old Age

    Are there any signs that would be outwardly visible if an Angelfish is getting into old age? The angel in my avatar has been acting differently the last few days, rarely coming off the tank bottom, hiding behind driftwood etc. He just appears to be struggling to get around, his color is still...
