Thanks I’ll give it a look

I have a 4ft Roma 240l aquarium without the centre brace. The whole top black rI'm was just resting on top the tank and the centre brace had been broken and screwed back together with metal screws which rusted. The goal for this was for the previous owner to put a foam 3D background into it. My...

I’ve used the quick start and added fish right away before, with those being danios and White Cloud Mountain minnows with no problems.

Nevermind, all the eggs have disappeared and no babies in sight. First time parents so wouldn’t be surprised if they ate the eggs

So I’ve been battling my Convict cichlids breeding lately trying to stop it and have ended up with some babies: And I’ve had one electric blue acara for quite some time, added another and all was well, no breeding, then added a small one who seemed to be much feistier. He paired with the...

Aha I believe that’s the case.

Just keep wiping it off. Maybe throw some live plants in if possible?

Shouldn’t cause any problems as long as it’s tank safe wood and has been properly washed before. May leach tannins for a while but in a 500gal tank that shouldn’t be noticeable.

I have a spanner barb in a tank with two electric blue acara, three convict cichlids, red tail shark and 3 zebra loaches. Whenever I add any fish to the tank if they’re not cichlids or armoured, the barb absolutely destroys them. It’s about 4 inches and I recently added 6 rainbowfish each around...

Pictures? Unrelated but this is what my convict did to me so if you do have a pair watch out when they’re breeding aha

Sorry for such a delayed reply, both blood parrots and convicts can be aggressive so I would say to choose tank mates wisely. Any updates on them?

These look like a convict cichlid/parrot cichlid cross of some kind?

Electric blue acaras are peaceful and very beautiful!? Rainbowfish as dithers?

What plants did you use?!!!! They took up pretty much the whole aquarium!
