My favorite tanks I’ve kept were a small community tank with honey gourami, Bolivian Rams, and misc schoolers. A predator tank with Central American cichlids and bichir, and a brackish tank with archers, scat, and my Tiger Moray. If you want a lot of plants I’d steer clear of the cichlids, mine tore them up. Not many purple fish in fresh water, but emperor tetras, peacock gudgeon, fancy guppies, some African cichlids, and of course the purple spaghetti eel can fit the bill.

Thanks, I’d definitely like to give them a try

These popped up on Amazon for me and naturally I wondered if anyone has ever tried them for tank lights. Maybe too much for one tank but possibly for a fish room?

Kind of a silly question, but what is so appealing about blood worms from a fishes perspective? My moray is only consistently eating blood worms, which he will come out for as soon as they are out in the water. He has taken frozen seafood before but sometimes turns his nose at it and doesn’t come out quickly for them. Morays hunt by smell so I’m assuming the blood worms are more pungent, but is there a way to replicate that in other food or any suggestions on some delicious smelly foods aside from blood worms.

I have family in northeast Ohio and whenever we visit we go to the Akron Zoo. They have very few aquatic exhibits, but they door have one of my favorites I’ve ever seen, and Amazon riverbank filled with turtles, rays, Midas cichlids, and parrot cichlids. They also have a rare blue variant lobster that showed up at a local seafood restaurant that they gave to the zoo, and some Silver Fulu Cichlids.

Not exclusively, but they do occasionally get crickets, grasshoppers, and flys

My chickens love it, especially when it’s filled with ramshorns

I have 3 archers (not sure which species, one of the brackish ones) in a 90g, and one has become overly dominant. He was the only archer for a while and used to always be at the top of the tank, once I got 2 more he started chasing them to the bottom and now they are always done there looking stressed and he stays in the middle and chases them if they come out. Should I add 2 more archers to spread out aggression?

That’s a mbu puffer

Wondering if anyone else is keeping a Tiger Moray. Mine hasn’t been eating what I’m feeding, not sure if he is getting scraps after light goes out or possibly had started preying on the snails in the tank? Anyone know ever have they’re morays eat small snails?

Fahaka puffer and mbu puffer, and yes it is a big ol’ bushfish and there is indeed several military bases in my area

I frequent this store at least once a week and I thought I’d share some pics of some of the stuff that caught my eye today (the fly river isn’t actual at my LFS but a reptile store that’s connected to it, which I also like to stop by in)

I e heard of people who keep rows of things like cichlids or bettas painting the sides to minimize stress so they are not always trying to fight each other through a glass wall. I’m not sure if this actually makes a difference

Around me the tapajos are average priced compared to other geos. Not much more than the cheapest and way less than the most expensive. It does seam like the RHT is one of the more popular geos which is probably part of the reason why it’s higher.

I don’t think those were water tight seems, looked like he was fitting a glass top table. I would bet you could use this technique for a finishing seam though
