I think a dimmer tank will help for sure Im gonna do that tomorrow. Good luck with your pikes, I know some of them, like the Crenicichla zebrina I have have never been tank bred before!

I have had him since for a year and a half, he was about 2-3 inches when I got him. He doesn't really come out for food I kinda have to drop it right in front of his cave, and he only eats frozen meats (tilapia, krill ,shrimp) I think I have plenty of cover, I have lots of live plants and...

I was wondering if yall could help me get my pike cichlid out of hiding all the time. Ive been keeping all kinds of cichlids for a while now, and Ive never really had one act as scared as the one I have right now, which is a Zebra Pike Cichlid that is probably around the 10 inch mark in my 125...

he is sold

Hello yall I have a big ornate bichir for sale, he has simply outgrown my tank. I got him when I was an inexperience fish keeper and I now would prefer to move in a different direction as the fish he will not eat have to be huge. He eats pellets frozen fish and anything else you could think of...

I actually just found some 4 inchers for sale on predatory fins, which is where I got my pleco.

I actually really like those and I have strongly considered them before. Havent been able to find any for sale, but they seem like the best fit for sure, thanks!

Pike cichlid is very timid, he only comes out to eat very quickly then darts back under his piece of driftwood. The plecos cave and the pikes cave are on complete opposite sides of the tank. I think it would be beneficial to have some dither fish. I really like silver dollars but ive read that...

Ive looked into those, sorry i should’ve mentioned it in my original post but i keep my tank at 82 degrees F. Since thats the best temp for the pike cichlid( who is the centerpiece)

Hey yall I currently have a 125 gallon planted tank with lots of plants and driftwood. I am looking for some ideas for fish that I could add, and I am pretty much open to anything you think will fit. I currently have a fairly large (12-14 inch) Ornate Bichir, a 6 inch blue phantom pleco and a...

I have a 125 gallon tank with sand and lots of plants, including swords, java ferns, wendetii, and anubias. The fish I have are a 10 inch ornate bichir, and a 6 inch zebra pike cichlid currently sectioned off until he grows bigger. Im looking to add maybe 2 more fish to my tank. I'm thinking a...

I do see very small worms floating around in my tank. Wayyy to small for my fish to eat, there isnt that many flys on my glass lids. I think my only solution to this is to use mosquito bits or a mosquito dunk larvacid. It is said to not damage my fish or plants, so im thinking thats what im...

I just read to use a mosquito dunk, its a little thing that floats in your tank that supposedly kills all larvae, but leaves everyhting else unharmed.

YES!! I have little bugs all on my glass lids that has to be what it is. How do I get rid of them? I have an ornate bichir, Zebra Pike cichlid and some live plants

This weird looking growth is taking over my tank. These weird worm like things are growing all over my tank. Im 99% sure they arent worms since they dont move and disintigrate the second i touch them. Then they grow back after a couple days. Im am so lost, someone please tell me what this is, it...

the clear stuff is just like a fungus that grows on all driftwood when you first put it in. I have had it on all my driftwood. Plecos eat all of it if you were thinking about getting one.

The reason I stopped using tap water is because of the hurricane, and when i test it the ph is 8 (Too high), Kh is 4 (Fine) and the Gh is 4 or 5 (Fine). However the last couple times ive tried to add it, it always skyrockets my ammonia readings to like 2 ppm, and makes my tank cloudy for days...

I have a South American cichlid tank with an oscar and green terror, and I also have live plants including an amazon sword, anubias, java fern and wenditii. I was using tap water for my tank for probably a year until recently when a hurricane struck, I switched to using an RODI system that i use...

The lighting seems to be the problem since the thickest place the algae grows is on the back glass, and on the top of my amazon sword, which is maybe 2 inches from the light. So im going to turn my lights down from like 70% power to 10% and see if that helps. Thank you for for your help.
