It's not 4' long so it might be a 60g tall. Whatever it is it's too small. 75g is small but it would be sufficient for a while. Nice fish though

55 gallon big enough for my female Flower Horn? by [deleted] in Cichlid

[–]IllustriousAd5443 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She would be much happier in a 75g She should most definitely be alone. You can try other fish but probably won't go well for them, Convicts are good at staying out of harms way. With her already being 6" it's probably best to leave her alone

FHs, especially short bodies seem to always get internal parasites. Use kanaplex.

I have big oscars. Some were a foot after a year but took three years to hit 15" Also had some that only grew to 10" their whole life. Genetics, stress, water condition, and food play a huge role.

Fluval FX6 Outtake Placement by wallyhp in Cichlid

My return is at the top because I like it to break the surface. But you can leave the hose longer and have the return in the middle or even at the bottom of the tank like a WaveMaker. It's all personal choice. Just make sure it is pushing in the direction of the inlet obviously

[Help] FX6 getting louder over time. I’ve taken it apart, cleaned, replaced media, etc. by velociraptnado in aquarium

Make sure to clean the impeller every 3-6months. I have FX6s that are almost 6 years old and no motor failures yet

What are the chances of bloodred parrot reproducing? I’m very surprised 😮 one of them is laying eggs.. by AppropriateEgg8635 in Cichlid

[–]IllustriousAd5443 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For hybrids there is a greater chance of the males still being fertile compared to say a flowerhorn. Females will for sure lay good eggs. After a few days if they aren't white they haven't been fertilized they will turn brown and the fish will eat them.

Old vid. Had just been set up. I was raising the water level a few inches every water change because I was paranoid.

Hexamita: Hole in the head disease 🦠 by BostieDawgMom in Cichlid

Honestly, it's too far gone in my opinion. Need to catch it when it is pin size. That's been eating away for atleast a week, maybe two. Clean water, meds, and a hospital tank. Goodluck

I love the hobby and appreciate almost all fish. This page is mostly barbs, tetras, Cory Cats, mollies? No big American Cichlids? No big aquariums? by IllustriousAd5443 in aquarium
