I do give him other things to eat. He's a fan of plain shrimp pellets and will latch onto those for awhile. I also sometimes switch them out for algea waffers (broken up a bit) He used to grab them with his mouth and swim off to his cave it eat it alone, it was cute. But now he's calmed down...

I already told you the pleco is of a small type and he's here to stay He's only 3 1/2 inches and it took him since november 15th to grow a 1/4 of an inch

Ok thanks for you input. I know where the danio's come from by the way. I've never really had a problem with the Danio's, they used to pester the neons but now they leave them alone and stick to themselfs. Arnt Rams also called Dwarf ButterFly Cichilids?

I'm going to be getting a 20 gallon tank in a few months or a 29 I already have 2 Zebra Danio's 3 Neon Tetra's 1 Pleco of some small kind I'd like to stick to South American fish if I could. Just post what you think would look good together and would get along. If you have any good King of the...

I guess its some kind of algea, I get it on my air stone too. One thing you could try is soak it in hot water. It always kills the brown algea I get on mine, turns green :wink: Then it seems to come out as soon as I plug it back in.

I'm from South Hadley Mass I used to go to "Pet City" but they just went bankrupt. So I will most likly just go to the PetCo near the Holyoke mall from now on.

aww how adorable. Post some pics of the baby cories and their parents. I'd love if some of my fish breeded.

Just what I was about to suggest

Remove everything but fish and gravel. Do a complete cleaning of the gravel making sure to get everything out. Take a much time as you need I did a 67% change but my tap water and tank water are the same. Give all your filters a cleaning in a bucket full of decloritnated water. Then give what...

I had always loved to watch the fish at the docters office, at around 7 my mom got a 30 gallon which I would sit and watch for awhile. Finaly 3 years ago she got a 55 gallon aggresive tank. I LOVED watching them fight with each other. Thats when I desided I wanted a tank. (Wanted a bigger one...

Say I found I few pieces of slate I would like to put in my tank. How would you go about cleaning them. I'm thinking just a good boiling to kill and clean it.

Well I guess I might try the male betta. At least I'll rescue one from a life living in a tiny bowl with not filtration T_T. Those poor guys.

I've done a small blackout with some Accu-Clear and a large water change, its much better now and is incredibly clear. I'm defenity going to vacum under the Pleco's cave more. (Tons of crap) All the fish seem much more active. The Cory has been gulping air which I think is a good sign. (you...
