Is this the fish you have? If so, it is a “cull” of Microgeophagus or Papiliochromis altispinosa otherwise known as a “Bolivian Ram”. It is impossible to cross an angelfish with an altispinosa. It is incorrectly identified in this picture as a regular ram, Microgeophagus ramerezi. Here is a picture of a Microgeophagus […]
I use an API test kit. I always rinse them in aquarium water first including the caps. I have only gotten the big of a drop once, but with a couple of water changes it appears to be coming back up. The reason I thought it was the filter was because I […]

We went through this recently with someone else so yours may be the same situation.
Do you have live plants […]
Does running an Eheim 2227 wet/dry on a fresh water tank lower the ph of the tank. All my tanks always have a ph of 7.2-7.4 . Bay Shore tap water is the same. The only changes I have made to my main 55g is to add […]
I don’t see much mention of efficiency in the pond pump discussions. The topic originator had to replace an existing pond pump, and couldn’t wait very long to get a replacement in place.
We’re using a Laguna Max Flo 2400 (submersible pump which can handle small solids, enclosed in a cage) which is […]
