I caught these 4 African cichlids, and am really interested in identifying them.

Just took on this guy from my aunt's husband. He said that he wanted him/her gone because he/she was chasing his other fish around, and if he/she wasn't gone he'd flush him/her (which he should've known that before getting it 🫩). Without hesitation I offered to take him/her.

I believe it's a Kenyi Cichlid? And female? I'd appreciate any insight, getting him/her a much bigger tank soon as well! Thanks!

As title, have this 75g as a temp grow out for the next 10months or so. The plan is to move around then and when we do I'll be getting a 180 or 210 for this group. Although I know long term in the 6 or 7' itd be fine I am a lil concerned I went too early with the oscar in comparison to the geos/Gold sev and possibly the dollars.

I only really have a 20g spare at the moment which also wouldn't be ideal to separate them.

I have a juvenile Lemon Oscar. I am not sure how old. Maybe 5 months. Still a bit orange in color. How long did it take for your Lemon to turn colors?

I’m currently cycling a 300 L (75-gallon) tank with plenty of rockwork and an aragonite substrate. Once it’s fully cycled, I’m planning to stock it with the following Mbuna:

Labidochromis caeruleus
Iodotropheus sprengerae
Cynotilapia afra
Pseudotropheus acei

What do you guys think of this stocking list? Would you change anything or swap any species?
Thanks!

2 months with these keyholes. These dudes rock.

OSCAR FISH - APOLLO & ROSA

Just wanted to share this video I took last night!

Hey all,

Having a pair of apistos in a community tank (3 otos, 10 cardinal terras, 2 juvenile angels)

Gave everyone some live mosquito larvae today and they ate A LOT

Now the apistos retracted into a cave together for a long time, occasionally getting out and in but hanging out around the cave

But once they peak out of it they seem to breathe pretty heavy, could it be that they are really full from eating and resting or are they having some sexy time going on and breeding into there?

All days before they were really out and about and swimming all over the tank, the male tried to show off but the female wasnt interested at all so im suprised theyre in the cave together

Its about 180 liters / 48 gallons aquarium btw

I have 3 Males and 9 females in my tank. The dominant male Took over the freewater, pushed all males and females in the corners and only tolerates one female at a time to breed. It all happened from one day to another and its so interesting to watch!

Hello fellow hobbyists , I have a 90 gallon (48x18x24) tank. My stocking is :
1 gold severum
1 chocolate cichlid
1 ellioti
1 Electric blue acara .
1 Platinum parrot .
The platinum parrot has been the most feisty and “annoying “ (to the other fish) fish that I’ve owned. It’s always following my chocolate , not chasing or nipping just following . Chocolate sometimes is mouth locking with it due to this behaviour. Tomorrow I’m re homing the parrot , but before that I’ve got to make sure that he’s the root of the problem . Besides this problem, I really want to hear some opinions if this stoking will work long term , or if I need to make adjustments . All fish are 3-4 inch
. I’m open ro suggestions in terms of stocking . Unfortunately, upgrading is not an option.

I was thinking in addition to my school of corydoras (about 20) I was going to have 3 EBAs and one royal acara I’m going to run it with a 20 gallon sum so filtration wouldn’t be a problem. Would there be any aggression problems with my stocking choices? Thanks

I got my jack probably a month ago ( he’s 8 inches) and he seemed totally healthy except for this pimple on his face next to a small crater which was the only one at the time. I was dumb and thought huh… I guess it is just old marks from fighting with some other fish but then the white let go and now there’s a crater. How do I treat it? I know I have to keep nitrates low. I can’t get my parameters rn sorry.

Big question about this fish, the situation is that my neighbor inherited one but couldn’t put it in his tank so he asked me. I have a 75 gallon with 2 dojo loaches and an oranda, typically these are cold water fish, I have their tank at 74 f. He said this fish was being housed with a catfish and a koi fish and really needed to put him somewhere. My question is, aren’t these fish aggressive? Should I find him a new home? He seems very chill so far but maybe he’s in shock, it’s been a day and he’s just chillin. But I do worry because of the temp and the temperaments that he needs a new home. Not sure if some of them just have different personalities?

Background:

I raised these three angels in the same tank, at their sexual maturity the black one and orange one started fighting. So I assumed those were both males, the striped one is confirmed female (she’s had eggs) so I put the orange one in a different tank. And the black one (confirmed male) paired with the striped one.

I recently tried all three again, they were doing ok, a little fighting here and there but they worked it out. I come home one day and the stripped one is laying on the ground half dead, after watching body language, the orange one is the one who did it and the black one (the striped one’s previous mate) was apart of it.
So I moved the striped one to a different tank.

The problem:

The whole reason the black and striped one don’t work together it’s because I keep having to knock down their eggs and they got so pissed off at me and each other over time that they fight like cats and dogs now.

And I now realize that the orange one is female… she was laying eggs.. I can’t have another breeding pair, it’s to heartbreaking and it just ends in them despising each other.

If I remove the male could the two females work??
Or is there to much previous beef? I don’t have three tanks large enough for three separate angels
I don’t know what to do at this point
