Very nice fish, to bad he is kind of a bastard and you cant put anything else in the tank. I would look for a mate for him though, even if you don't want to breed them, at least you can get some more fish in there

A person of few words I guess. Have fun

Thank you everyone for your help. I will try these and hopefully I can rectify the problem soon and start reintroducing fish into the aquarium. I will let you all know how my progress is going, and hopefully get some pictures along the way.

I have grown to dislike my fluvall. It seemed everytime I had to stop the pump, it had a hard time restarting. I have since gone to a enheim, which I love, way better. But what i found worked with mine was to take apart the impeller, clean it and put it back together. I even replaced it once. Hope this helps

210 gal tank, sounds more like a bathtub. You will definetly get elbow deep in it. Hope you enjoy the discuss, they can be really nice to look at.

Hello everyone. A little about myself. I am 26 and live in Edmonton, and have a 46 gallon tank that I have had for about 6 years, and really enjoy it. My 2 cats also seem to love watching them, they think its better than TV. I was recommended to this site by a fellow fish enthusiast and have really enjoyed browsing through it so far. I do need a little help though with troubleshooting my tank problems. I recently moved my 46 gallon tank from my parents house to my new one and am having some trouble with the water conditions. It was previously set up for about 7 years and never had any troubles. I had changed the look of the tank successfully, including introducing new fish and plants, and different styles of decoration. About a week ago though when I moved it, everything kind of went down hill. It is decorated with a number of large rocks, that accept for being rinsed off were unchanged from the move. There are also a few real plants that survived. When I transfered it, I kept the media in the filter (which is a canister style), in hopes that the bacteria would not be affected, but changed 100% of the water as I had no way to transport it. There were a handful of fish, all cichlid types, and a upsidedown catfish and plecko (I think). All the cichlids quickly passed, but the other two kept doing well. About a week later I tried to reintroduce 6 more fish, 2 yellow lab, a male red empress? and 3 female, which did not last over night, and still the other 2 are doing well. They showed no signs of distress before I went to bed. The water has been tested a couple of times and all of the levels test safe, the temperature is set to 79, I 3 chemicals, Prime, Waste Control and a Plant Food. I also used a conditioner that was recommended to me to help stop "New Tank Syndrome", but have had no success. Looking for a few ideas before I try to introduce anything else to the tank, am willing to try anything. I am wanting to keep with cichlids in the future just in case that makes any difference. Looking forward to your suggestions, and to reading more.
