Well, one of the most popular choices are large cichlids, such as Oscars and Texas cichlids and the like. They are inexpensive, nice, and have loads of character. Popular, but more often then not misunderstood and wrongly kept. Anything over 12" is too big for your tank. Even if the fish can...

If you want to keep your fish as best you can, you will reduce the number of species you keep and increase the size of groups. Cory cats, for example, are grouping fish. Sure you can keep just one alive, but if you want them to thrive and see them at their best, you will keep a group. I...

If you hope to start a saltwater tank based on a bunch of answers at yahoo, you are going to fail. Places like this are meant to ask question that come up after you do your own research, it is not meant to teach you about a hobby that thick books are written about. No, what you need to do is...

It all depends on the cichlids. There are several types of cichlids that can live with corydoras, danios, and harelequins, and some that can even be kept with neons and cardinals. If you can do it right and start keeping your schooling fish in schools, as well as decorate the tank properly...

They are mildly aggressive for cichlids but still territorial. They should not be kept with Rift lake african cichlids, which have entirely different needs and behaviours, but there are a few african riverine species that can work if the tank is big enough. They get to about 10 inches tall and...

It's just different trim levels like you've noticed - better equipped in the order that you listed them in. ie. grand touring comes with climate control and the stereo gets better with each model. The Sport comes with a 5 spd while the others come with a 6 spd, and the gear ratios differ a...

Both great cars, but the nissan is tuned to have better performance while the Camery is tuned more for comfortable ride.

Good car, good price, lousy interest.

It's your fault for not looking into the fish first and you can try to take it back to the store first, but you have your own ethics amd it's mot illegal to kill it. Cut off his head, it's quick and you might enjoy it.

I wouldn't dare to say any one is better than the other, since most of it comes down to brand bias and personal preference - both are good vehicles. RIght now I would say the Ford because you get a good discount. Why pay more when you can pay less? But in the end you should test drive these...

A bigger tank is always better on two conditions. The first is that you can afford it, the second that you have space. More water is more stable, more water will keep cleaner easier, and more volume means aquascaping to your hearts desire. Harder to clean? Not really, you'll need to deal...

No, they don't, but top feeders will do something that looks like this, which is really just scoping out the surface for food. Certain fish, like betta's and gouramis can breath air, but they only do this if the water is oxygen deprived, otherwise they use their gills most of the time. In a...

There are many new world cichlids that would work with them, and a tank big enough for 3 bala sharks will certainly be big enough for decent sized cichlids. You probably heard different things because cichlids are an extremely diverse group, and some will work while some won't. Never ask any...

You shouldn't be changing the filter every month, you should be rinsing the media in discarded aquarium water so you keep things healthy and mature. If you do need to replace, only replace a portion. 5% really is not a lot, step it up to 25% so you actually get some water changed in there...

OMG you do not need to do water changes every other day in a small tank. In my 2.5 gallon I do them once per week, about 1 third of the water to keep things fresh and stable. I do agree that it's just fine to do half the water as well. But maintaining the tank too often not only makes a...

Sure, why wouldn't it be?

Females have smaller humps, but they do have them. The hump is something that grows all their lives and the only thing you need is patience, because it takes a while to form - unless your FH is already a few years old, I wouldn't worry. Feed a well rounded diet like you are and keep the water...

It will grow back within a couple of weeks, even days for minor tears, unless the fish is in the same tank, continuing to get harassed, in which case it could continue to get worse.

They are ready, no need to dry. Goldfish are very messy, and are actually pond fish that can grow to a foot and a half long and live over 30 years! The bigger container you can keep them in, the better your fish will do, and since they are messy fish, a filter is a huge help too. Bowls are...
