What are the symptoms of malawi bloat (beside loss of appetite)? Anything visible? They actually "bloat" like a ballon. Is it contagious? Well, it's an indication that something is wrong... yes...not all the cichlids in the tank will necesarily get bloat, but something needs fixing. How qu...

I have a well established 20 gal tank with about 7 tropical fish. I currently have some stoney gravel that I am wanting to replace. I know there are crucial bacterial colonies on the gravel, so I guess my question is is there some way of replacing hte gravel and not harming the fish? Any help would...

if you already had live live rock
and
live live sand
it wouldn't have been an issue
if everything's cycled
just put stuff in

also it's always a good precaution
to use a chemical filter
in case of copper contamination

er

whatever you do
don't put any expensive fish or inverts in there

keep testing for ammonia and nitrite

I think your going to need a complete water change

the detritus IS the good bacteria (or was)

(you know,
if you just buy eveything from us...
you don't really have these problems)

sure
give us a call tomorrow between
noon and 3:30
we'll send it right out

5 gallon bucket full of live sand and saltwater that i havent washed, however has sat out all night...is this still alive?

How does it smell?

you can vacuum it off
filter it out
or just leave it

ak!
don't wash live sand!

not with freshwater I hope! You will kill it !

no, just wait, it will clear...
you might need to use a filter pad for a while

well
it could be a female being scared, or it might be sick

if you bought it recently, just bring it back

It's tough to do Malawi cichlids in a 45 gallon. If you only have 3 fish, it will be impossible. Generally, with Malawi cichlids you get less aggression if you crowd them. Also you get less aggression if you put in 8 or more at a time, and move the rocks around, and put in new water with the new fis...

sure
bring it all
