Does anyone have experience keeping an Oscar without a heater? I have some local fish in two tanks (50g and 125g) and the water is room temperature (around 64). I was wondering if an Oscar could live in such a tank. Jonathan

I have a tank with J. dickfeldi, N. leleupi (spell? Lemon cichlid), and N. brichardi. The brichardi harassed badly by the leleupi and chased aggressively usually into the top corners. The leleupi and dickfeldi get along and seemed to have paired. Saw the dickfeldi digging a cave. About 3 weeks ago...

Hello all. So I've had my 2 blood parots for about 4 months and I love them.. I also have a black bumble bee african cichlid. They've been fine together since I've got them with no problems. Today I decided to get another baby blood parot a little less than an inch. The problem is the African...

I've been keeping a Convict in a 10 gallon aquarium for about 4 years now without incident. The aquarium has nothing but gravel in the bottom with a back of the aquarium filter. My fish seems a bit nervous/ scared at times and I recently read that Cichlids prefer to have something in the tank...

Hi! I'm the somewhat proud keeper of a now 5 year old Convict Cichlid. I say "somewhat" because it has been quite an experience getting this far with any fish I've ever owned as most died within the first 6 months! When you buy these in the stores, unless you ask questions, they don't offer...

Hi all! I have a 55 gal community tank. A gold severum female and a male parrot fish have been breeding and layings eggs for months now. I know the eggs wont hatch but it is ok to just let them do this? They breed every week now..

I have a 15 gallon tank with a pair of kribensis and a 10 gallon starting its cycle. Sorry for the bad english, i'm actually from quebec and i'm normally speaking french.

I use to breed Tanganyika cichlids in large quantities about 40 years ago. In those days I could get £5 or more per fish from customers. Now I'm a lot older I decided to start keeping them again so I called a local dealer to get me a tank full of young Tanganyika cichlids. I was interested to...

hi, I currently have a 5ft mbuna tank, established for about four years, the problem I have is they are prolifically breeding, most of the young are surviving as I have plenty of rock and I will occasionally fish them out and grow them on in the fish room until they are large enough for my local fs...

hi, this is my first post here, i think (may have posted one other on here before). anyways, so i have a birthday coming up next month and i'm looking to get a bigger aquarium than the 29g that i have now. I'm looking at getting a 55-72g, and originally i was thinking of getting balas and oscars,...

I'm would like to keep some of those, a seller can sell me some young specimens 4-6cm long. I don't want to keep more than 4 of these. What would be the right gender combination ? I intend to keep them with 5 L.caeruleus, 3 S.fryeri and 3 Aulonocaras and 3 protomelas taenoliatus Namalenje.

We have a juvinille malawi cichlid born in our tank (species unknown) exhibiting some strange behavior. S/he stopped eating several days ago, has what appears to be a swollen jaw, and is now beginning to look emaciated. Otherwise, its behavior appears normal. I realize it may be difficult to...
