I am interested in this well. I was figure you can get 55g and maybe 75g around here for cheap but not too many bigger tanks and just wondered if when you get into bigger ones if it wouldn't be cheaper to make your own. I would def do it when it's warm outside and test fill it thoroughly before...

Just wanted to update that I think the heat is working I did notice a couple more spots pop up but now they are starting to all fade. I don't see the one on my emeralds tail and the one in my angelfish and other cories heads have seemed to gotten duller. I think I was quick enough to catch it so...

No they are all staying very small spots. I lowered the water level a bit so that the filter drops more water on the surface to try and oxegenate more since I don't have an aerator. The angel fish and my Julii cats all seem fine but my Emerald cats have their fins clamped a lot so I think they...

Here are some pics, one spot on an emerald cories head, another's tail, and one right above my angels eye now. I am pretty sure it is Ich because I went back to store where I recently purchased a cory and noticed the tank there all had Ich I must have missed it somehow and currently couldn't...

I noticed two of my cories today have white spots on them (one has a single spot on his head, another with a single spot on his tail fin). I am assuming it is Ich (please correct me if this could be something else). I have actually been lucky enough to not have dealt with Ich yet. My water...

Do you know what the cause of this is? Is it normal for them to turn like this? I haven't seen one get this dark before, I can still see through him but I just wasn't sure if he was slowly getting that way. Here's another picture of the top view. You can't see through him too much in this...

I have read a lot about ghost shrimps turning a milky white before dying, but I'm not quite sure if that is what is wrong with this ghost shrimp? It looks more yellow-brown to me rather then white. He just molted and I change my water every other day. I don't have exact numbers currently...

My gourami ate my cherry shrimp Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

My dwarf gourami is in a 20g tank on an end table that my 18 month old uses to line his cars on in front of and I have found him to become curious of it. I have a lot of fake plants in it now also that add some shade so I think that helps him feel covered, but he does hide every time I do a wc...

This is my Amano shrimp he's my favorite but I've only ever found this guy and all my lfs tell me they can't order any, ghosts look similar but without gold stripe. Supposedly Amanos are good algae eaters I'm not sure how true it is I see him eat algae off my plants a lot but I've also seen my...

I bought some shrimp just to see what would happen (ghost and amano) and surprisingly they have become my favorite part of my aquariums. I prefer them to my cories. My cories are all fun and I love them too, but I find it hilarious how the shrimp just kind of walk around and touch the other fish...

Wow he's so cool! I've never seen or heard of one before. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Hello, so once upon a time I wandered into Petco and found an Amano sheimp (apparently it came in with ghost shrimp) and he(she?) has become my favorite out of all things aquatic. I'm not exactly sure if it's a boy or girl I heard you can tell by markings on back, but I wondered if someone with...

My black/gold marble veiled angelfish pair; Magikarp and Goldeen. I'm not sure of their sexes, I think they might still be too young to tell, but if anyone has any guesses I'd love to hear them! Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

It looks awesome! I love the shells! I keep finding that a lot of freshwater tanks can be much prettier then saltwater tanks in my opinion. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice
