Re: help me identify my fish species

The bright yellow one on the right, I'm pretty sure that's a yellow lab. Then the one right below it, that's probably an electric blue. You know, you'd likely find these in the "assorted" section at a local fish store. That's about all I can help with, sorry.

Re: beach stones

Using beach stones can be a bit tricky. Porous stones can cause problems when they're put in a freshwater tank, the marine salt gets in and it can be an issue. It's especially a problem with wood, the salt just lingers. I'm not sure if it's a big deal for an African cichlid tank, but for a South ...

Re: betta experiences with small floating logs

My betta's experience with the Zoomed Betta leaf hammock was pretty underwhelming - he won't even give it a second glance. I actually tried it out with three of my other fish, but none of them showed any interest in it either.

On the other hand, I've had some success with fake logs that have ...

Re: setting up a 27 gallon cichlid tank

I get the overstocking thing, but I'm still worried about stunting - I've never had any experience with these fish before.

setting up a 27 gallon cichlid tank

My sister's still relying on that aquatic calculator website for her fish research, and honestly, I think it's a recipe for disaster. Today she came to me saying she's replaced her neptunes and tetras with an acai cichlid, a red zebra, and an auratus. She's got a 27-gallon tank and I'm seriously ...
