yeah i'll will come up with a plan and figure it out. thanks for taking the time to help. very kind of you. take care.

i dont think its fin rot i've dealt with that years before with betta fish. i watch them nipping at each other all the time so i suspect they are being aggressive. thanks for trying to help but its just a hard thing to figure out theres no one answer. i really appreaciate the help tho

They all eat from the top of the water they find the food just fine but they are all 2 to 2 and half inches

yeah i feel like ive done everything right and they are still fin nipping i dont know what to do other than just let it be

i have a lot of caves in there and i plan to keep these fish long term this is a display tank its a 125 gallon tank

well i have 34 mbuna in a 125g

i've bred my mbuna several times. My issue is that im having fin nipping going on and the fish are all juveniles. everyone keeps saying you need the right male to female ratio but they literally all look the same so how do you remove excesss males if they all literally look the exact same?

does anyone on here keep mbuna? i'm having some problems that i need some help with

Im treating my mbuna with salt and prazipro for gill flukes. Is this jungle aquarium salt the same as api aquarium salt or will it raise my hardness and parameters like marine salt? I dont want to change my parameters and do more harm than good. Thanks for any help

Ok thanks so much for the help I'll plant them and keep the bulb and see how it goes

No the stems have huge roots they just tore off the bulb when i was uprooting it

i was moving my dwarf aquarium lily in my tank and it detached from the bulb completely while pulling it up. Do i just plant the stems with the lily pads attached to them or do i just have to buy a new bulb and start over. im terrible with plants and would appreciate any help. thanks

Thanks for the replys. The fish would be juvenile 1/1.5 inch mbuna. I just figured since i gotta quarantine them all just do it in one tank.

i'm gonna be ordering a group of 6 yellow tail acei and a group of 6 of rusty cichlids. Can i qt them all together in a 29g for a few weeks or do i need to seperate the species? thanks for any feedback

she is in a 10 gallon by herself

i dont want the fry to die cause she wont let him leave from under the cave and eat

i think she only has a couple fry she is not even 2 inches herself. the fry is free swimming not egg sack i see him under her cave swimming around where she cant get to him. just wondering if i should trying to strip the rest out of her mouth or leave her alone.

my saulosi has been holding for 21 days. 1 fry made it out of her mouth and is hiding from her i saw her chasing the fry trying to put him back in her mouth i guess. Should i lift the cave so she can pick him up or leave it alone? its my first time breeding mbuna and not sure what i should do.

Ok. I'll do without the lamps and just let the aquarium lights give it ambient light. Thanks everyone for all the help!! 🙂

Ok. Are led bulbs better than cfl bulbs for growing plants? Also is 5000k full spectrum?

Could you drop a link to that light? Thank you

I'm trying to grow pothos out the top of my aquariums. will this setup work. also what bulbs should I be using to get good growth i black out the room to prevent excess algae from natural sunlight. I am not great with plants and any help would be appreciated.

yeah i just plan on feeding baby brine for first 2 to 3 weeks. then feed them what i feed the adults. I think i'll feed them 3 times a day with 8 hours between each meal so they only fast for 8 hours instead of 16 hours all at once. just spread feedings out a bit more should be good. thanks so much for you help. my first time raising mbuna fry so just trying to get my plan together.

My pseudotropheus saulosi has been holding for 18 days in a 10 gallon by herself. My lights on all my aquariums come on at 4pm and go off at 12am. My question is should i feed the fry at 4pm and 11pm like i do all the rest of my fish? Or do i need to feed them in the morning, noon, then night. Basically is it okay to fast them for 16 hours or do i need to feed them in the actual morning time. Also is it okay to feed mbuna fry baby brine shrimp for the first 2 to 3 weeks. I ask because baby brine shrimp is high in protein and i dont want to bloat them. Thanks for any help.

is triple sulfa the same as api fin and body cure?
