I have a 30 gallon tank with an electric blue hap/ahli cichlid (i dont think its a true ahli but thats what its referred to as). He's about 4.5-5 inches long. I know it might be a relatively small...

Definitely looks like a bacterial infection to me. You've probably been over-feeding. It's an honest mistake but it's the number one killer of fish. Too much food can lead to all kinds of bacteria,...

oh i bet they eat. just not fish food if you know what i mean...

Holy term paper, Batman!

Metriaclima sp. i think

Yeah, after reading up a bit i realized they really like rocks and caves and such. He's swimming out in the open some more. I guessed he has learned i have his food. I'll go get some more cover for...
