Thanks! I appreciate the feedback!

2 Yellow Labs, 3 Acei, 1 Blueberry Zebra, 1 Peach Peacock, 1 Johanni, 1 Auratus, 2 Livingstonii, and 1 of a light blue little guy... not sure what he is. 50g tank... am I overstocked? Am I stocked with species that don't belong together? Haven't had any issues so far. They are all juveniles.

Still Available? Did you ever sell the hood and heater? I need it if you still got it. How much $

I have a 55g tank with African Cichlids, Texas Holey Rock, Artificial Plants, Etc. / Please send me a PM

I normally change my rockscape around every month or so to prevent the territory issue... Just FYI; I'm sure you know that already.:wink:

Wow... I thought they only got 3" maybe 4" max! I'm slowly getting him into a full SW setup, I knew about that.

I feed him freeze dried bloodworms, freeze dried baby shrimp, brine shrimp, small snails... I've never tried fiddler crabs. They have to be pretty small right?

1 tablespoon of salt per gallon, just to get him started on the saltwater transition. Does my water change method have to change when it comes to saltwater?

I got him last night! I added 1 tblspn per gallon before I picked him up, I used the drip method to acclimate him to the new water. He seems like a happy dude. I also found out that they actually lay down to sleep! Weird. I thought he was dead.

So, I set up a 10 gallon tank for a GSP and I'm pretty excited. Is a 10 gallon okay for 1 puffer? I read online somewhere that they prefer at least 5-6 gallons per Puffer? I have PFS as a substrate, some big rocks, some fake plants, and a filter that can turn the tank water at least 4 of 5...

So live plants helped huh? I don't have the lighting or co2 for plants.

Well, I don't think my test kit is expired because... I tested my water this afternoon and the pH is back up to 7.6, so I think I'm on the path to recovery.

I found out that adding baking soda will help raise the pH level; then I found out that adding more aeration, and taking the glass lids off will help raise it as well. I think I should have tried the later option first. Did I screw up by adding the baking soda. I added 4Tblspoons to my 55g and...

Thanks... I will do that tonight. As of right now I am down to ONE dalmation molly and one black molly. I also have a couple of B.A. Tetras and a couple of Hi Fin Tetras. I did a water test a few minutes ago, and found that my pH level is down quite a bit... 6.0 I know that livebearing fish...

I'm @ work now, so I can't give the parameters. I will post them tonight. I think thats the problem... FRITZ. I'm going back to prime. I never had this issue until I switched to FRITZ. When I do a water change I do a gravel vac and it's normally a 35 - 40% water change. I have a Whisper HOB...
