Who Gives A Fish Forums

I think it's best to separate the blue one to prevent further stress, but before moving it to the 20 gallon tank, we need to consider compatibility. What species is the blue cichlid, and would it get along with the platys and Cory catfish in the smaller tank?


Gonna take another shot at getting ...

I've got plenty of hiding spots and live plants for them to duck into.

Finally managed to get some photos of the fish. It was hiding, so that's why it took a bit. Still need to get a photo of another one that's been evasive, will post that one later.

Still waiting on them to arrive, ordered some.

I've got a 20 gallon tank in a room that gets plenty of natural light, plus I've got a light on top of the tank. My plants have always thrived, but lately I've noticed some yellowing leaves on my Java Ferns. I'm not sure what's going on. I'm thinking of removing the affected plants, but I'm not sure ...
