Hi Myron,
I can not speak on the condition of the Eheim filter but I did want to address the loss of power from your two Fluval filters. I have a few- well, maybe 6 of these different ones. Over the years I have come to have to deal with the 303 and 304 or 404 […]
Heather, I think it is an overcrowding issue- I should talk as my 55 has a pile of platys and my pond is overstocked but I didn’t do it. the fish did. Maybe a 20 Gal tank would make things easier- I always had trouble with 10 gal as they emptied too fast […]
A 10G tank should probably not have more than 4-5 guppies… maybe 3-4 males with the juvi pleco. Guppies grow to around 2.5″ It would be best if you get baby/juvi clown or bristle nosed plecos (or one of the other dwarf varieties but those two are usually cheapest) which you will still […]
I can’t tell you what the fountain pump was my husband suprised me with it a few years ago( a beckett maybe).. we had it on a elevated stand in the pond about 2 feet underwater and 3 feet above the bottom. It had ran constanly for 2 years even through the winter, I […]
One thing that occurs to me. If you think that filter may have made a difference maybe you recently added it. Some of the things you can put in filters can variously pull bad things out of the water, and even change the ph (more likely by raising […]
What time of day did you test the pH? Was it first thing in the morning? Was it later in the day? Do you have any other test results for ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, GH, KH?
We went through this recently with someone else so yours may be the same situation.
Do you have live plants […]
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 […]
I have no clue what kind of Ram Cichlid she is but she is beautiful…amazing colors! she goes electric blue, redish pink and yellow and gets these beautiful bold vertical black stripes on her body when excited! There were no other cichilds in the tank I bought her from…just tetras so […]

I can imagine both in the same tank since they have similar requirements & are both cichlids. Maybe the tags were overlapping.
