Who Gives A Fish Forums

Agree with the others, looks like a frogspawn to me

General questions on Euphyllia - once any head begins to show tissue separation, is that the beginning of the end? I've had my share of struggles with these corals and I'm curious if anyone's been able to save a detaching head and nurse it back to health.


After mine separated, it was a lost ...

So now that you've confirmed they're mating, what's the plan for the potential fry?

I'm pretty sure fish don't get the same vibe as us when they lock jaws - it's probably just fighting. Unless things escalate, I wouldn't worry too much, they're just figuring out the pecking order.

You're gonna do great with your tank.

Honestly, I'm skeptical about keeping more than a pair of cichlids in a 20g. Most species just need too much space and territory. Shelldwellers might work, though - they're generally more laid-back and could potentially coexist in smaller groups.

I appreciate your insight, it's really helpful. With many cichlids, I've found that having a larger group can often help to distribute aggression more evenly - could this be the case with A. thomasi as well?

Hey everyone,
I've been doing some research on a peaceful cichlid species that could work well in my oddballs tank. Unfortunately, there's not a lot of info available on the usual websites I visit.

For a 3-foot tank, how many of these cichlids do you think I could keep comfortably?
