20 cm?? there are 2 pangasius species i heard of p. sutchi which grows to about 1 meter and p. sanitwongsi or gigas that reaches 3 meters.

or possibly a stuartgranti flameback [street name] or stevani, tough to say

i would start your tank with 6 of each of the following according to your list. yellow OR white labs not both, red zebras, acei's, and cyaneorabdos which look very much like johanni but are far more...

that list of fish contains fish with different water property requirements. the rams and the celebes rainbow i believe like water favoring soft and ph around 6.5 the other rainbows prefer harder...

your nitrates should be BELOW 40ppm , because african cichlids are accustomed to very pristine water. as for the fish he is being intimidated by 1 or more of the other fish. you may need to remove...

i have been using purigen for 2 years now. the good is the product controls nitrites and nitrates well-better than any other product i have encountered. now i endorse and conduct frequent water...

i find acei's are great at picking off fry. between them and yellow labs. rustys and zebras not near as much.

she could have eaten the fry or spit them and others ate them. do you have sufficient rock cover on the bottom for the fry to hide in?

the haps are way too big for a 55gal tank. the peacocks are very colorful and aulonocara are most varied color wise. but i think they also would be cramped in a 55gal.:think:

pseudotrophus sauloisi-males are different color than females.

looks like bruiseing or roughed up scales from rubbing rocks or rowdy fish.

yuor tank came out great! you did an outstanding job with itthumbs2:

you probably have hard water, that would account for higher ph

that is not any fiddler crab i have ever seen before, this creab looks too heavyset.

the red terror will kill every fish in that tank its only a matter of time. a year perhaps 18 months.

that fish is intimidated, you may need more cover for them too hide. or the fish eventually will succumb to stress.

if your tank is cycled, you will be fine adding them all at once. if your tank is not cycled you will get an ammonia spike, and/or a nitrite spike. then you will have too effect water changes daily...

you are going to need access to a resonable conditioned water supply if your success in this hobby is going to happen. i would hold off on getting fish until you have addressed this matter. by the...

i have an age old question for you vets of the hobby. i am looking to upgrade my tank to a 180 gallon. basic rectangle, nothing fancy. i am a glass guy that didn't go for acrylic, guess i'm old...

yes, it's a zebra with a blotch pattern

that fish is a yellow lab [labidochromis cearulus]

this is perfectly normal behavior. these fish are establishing dominance with each other. however, these yellow/black stripey? fish sound like melanochromis auratus. these fish can be real bruisers....

i favor tank raised over wildcaught, generally better acclimation. no real reason to pressure native stocks.

i have used live fish direct, based in utah, several times. excellent stock and they send a confirmation email to you prior to shipping, and yes, your fish arrive at 10:30 am sharp.

some smaller tetras, maybe pristella or cherry barbs. no mollies. these fish get too big for the other fish and they require salt to create a brackish system as they get older.
