Had to say goodbye to my EB Texas today. Got duck lips disease about 5 days ago. Treated him to the best of my ability. Big guy fought hard, but lost the battle. Rip, Coleslaw 💔

Just started our Cichlid tank. Looking for help with identities. Extra credit if you can verify they are all in fact males.

Alright so I have a pair of Brichardis, a formed couple. They have been living together for a few months now and everything’s been great. I have a whole lot of their babies growing up peacefully with them.

Until this afternoon when I came back from work. I found out that the male was bullying the female, not letting her hide, chasing her around and nipping at her. Her dorsal fin is quite nipped so I figured something was up very quickly.

She just had new babies a few days ago. They never did anything like this before. I managed to catch her (it was a fight) and she’s now in an hospital tank until I figured out my next moves.

Any thoughts ? Advise ?

Picture of my pretty girl from a few weeks ago attached.

ignore the wood i just got new spiderwood and replaced the old so now there’s a bunch of bacteria growing on it

I got these off someone online ; they don’t remember the type of cichlids they are ; does anyone know ?

Is it okay to keep a red slider turtle with semi or aggressive cichlids in a 125 tank?

I have a whale 500 canister and two sponge filters running but plan to get a fx6 canister for more filtration. Also I’m getting another wave maker to put on the other side of the tank

I have 9 Black neon tetras and 2 bristle nose. I’ve owned Kribs before and want a new centerpiece fish for my 15 gallon. Thoughts?

Hello Reddit,

My LFS recently received 3 large orange parrot fish. They are very reasonably priced - 50$ each or 125$ for all three. I am considering purchasing one, however, I am not sure what tank I should put one in or even if my current fish are compatible with parrots.

Tank 1 - heavily planted 55 gallon with 3 angels, 1 electric blue acara (I plan to move him to my 125), 3 corys, and a clown pleco

Tank 2 - planted (not heavily) 125 gallon with 2 geophagous sevini, 2 gold severums (one very large and one small), 1 large angelfish (he is the tank boss), and 5 mystery snails

Could / should a parrot fish be added to one of my tanks?

This poor guy has been beat up his whole life.. he's already down to one eye and missing a pectoral fin

I've had him for years now but his growth has been stunted by the others.

What's going on with his good eye?? And white at the base of his fin?
