In that case… 20 gallons should be fine for a dwarf cichlid. They can be sensitive to heavy metals so make sure your tap water conditioner takes care of that. He’ll become less shy with time, I’m sure you’ll be able to get a picture soon.
I wonder how the fish store came […]
Me too, never heard of a Ram Angelfish… Perhaps if you post a photo of it someone will be able to identify it properly for you.
Generally speaking an angelfish will outgrow a 20 gallon as an adult but you may have some time on your hands if you purchased a small specimen.

Absolutely. Once you have your filters running and the tank clear, you will need to cycle the tank. This can be done easily by adding flake food daily to the tank as a food source for bacteria, or by adding straight ammonia to the tank every day… It will take 3-4 […]
Ok, I will do that now. Thanks! Jack

Yeah I get this when using fine sand in my marine systems. The key is to wash the sand very well before use, most of the suspended particles are so fine you’re best to simply filter them out at this point. I would either use a micron pad in an existing filter […]

Try to turn down your filter flow until it settles. At some point you may want to use a quick filter or micron pad to remove anything that still lingers… With the lower flow rate it should help to let it settle.
If it becomes a constant problem, add a little larger grained […]

I heard that too. Guess I need to start planning for that as soon as I get back from Atlanta -Mike In a message dated 7/14/2008 1:42:14 P.M. Pacific Daylight Time, tuvy72@hotmail.com writes:
