Hi Chappells welcome to ACE the fish are bloated this usually this comes from feeding too much of the wrong food for the fish's digestive system what have you been feeding them and how often ? Metronidazole based drugs are usually used to treat this but when it is at this stage injection the drug into the stomach cavity would be the most efficient way to introduce it Andrew at Labyrinth in Campsie would be a good place to visit, give him a call 8068 4853

top one could be Aulonocara Fort Maguire Aulonocara hansbaenschi middle ????? bottom looks to be Nkhomo Benga Peacock Aulonocara baenschi with an OB Peacock in the tank they could also be just Asian peacock hybrids

Yep if you're not sure what they look like do a quick search first cost is the same to feed them or the true ones

agree with the other comments not Hongi looks like maybe Zebroides X Zebra buy them off FB or Petlink ?

you get better growth in the fry that the parents raise as opposed to removing them Firemouths are usually great parents ..... you could also consider putting a mirror against the end of the tank this gives them something to defend against even if it is their reflection

Caudopunctatus or one of the Julidochromis species

nice clean set up and the fish look nice and healthy

micro worms are a good first food also any of the high protein fry powders what area are you in ?

Hi Alex to my knowledge E. canarensis has never be available in Australia all we have has been the wild strain and aquarium strain of E. maculatus AKA Orange Chomide and E. suratensis AKA Green Chromide that has become very rare to find over the last few years

for me the Eheim 2217 or classic 600 same filter mine have been running for years and never a problem guessing the tanks is 120cm standard size not a fan of smaller Fluval Aquael make good products but haven't heard much on this filter

Hi Gemma you need to change the access restriction on the attachment for public viewing as it won't open Has the fish lost swimming ability ? does it just belly slide and if it swims up it just drops when it stops swimming ? if so this would be a swim bladder problem need some pics we can see

Hi Brad the problem seems to be none compatibility with the pair and that usually means putting a divider in the tank and then there is a rock and/or large pot so something with a wide footprint becomes necessary with flow from the males side to wash over any eggs laid BTW we are guessing at the size of the fish but assume they are around 20cm size
