If your unsure, can't find a catagory, or there is more than one species in the pic...put it here.

Hello, Not sure if your aware but tunze will be releasing some new controllers soon (Early 2005 avaialble in Australia). These controllers look and have some very sexy features. The new controller seems worthwhile with the fact that you can hook up to it or it may come included, not sure, a...

Thanks for the quick reply. I thought Cycle was only a bacteria designed for fresh water also, however the bottle is labeled something along the lines of "For use in Fresh and Salt Water". The bottle says something like double the dose if it is a Salt Water tank. I will cease to use it, I'm...

Hello All, I just recently turned 21 so thought it would be a good idea to setup a marine tank. Prior to this I had a two foot and four foot tank hosting freshwater tropicals/cichlids. 6 weeks later the tank finally arrived (5 foot x 2 foot x 2 foot). I had everything setup and running...

Think he/she just bought a Black Ghost, or has breed some... which is very very rare. Christmasfish has explained the normally habits of a Ghost Knife in that his particular one is hiding from him etc. doesn't want the tank played with and only comes out at lightsout...... I think?

Plenty of us do, what do you want to know? There isn't much hardness in it but it is good to watch.

Not bad info Allivymar. Im just curious - It mentions "diseases are far more likely on a steady diet of worms". So should I, or should I not continue to feed my Black Ghost Knife on these each day? I mentioned above that I don't like feeding these regularly but I do for the Ghost Knife...

Just to add a little more I wouldn't recommend feeding after introducing them into the tank for the first day. This will be fine as fish can go for awhile without food from what I have read and mine don't seem to care too much. The beauty of this is that it prevents the new fish having to...

Madasafish is this the case with all lfs? I will have to ask next time as they instructed me to change the water. The beauty of the forum and learning something new every visit.

In future I would suggest a quarantine tank to prevent such problems occurring and further infecting all your other fish. In another post TN tanks commented that the tank Im assuming it is your 135gal or there abouts had been cycled. I wouldn't think it is your tank caused the problem if it is...

To answer your other question I don't and havent every fed my live foods. I dont think it is necessary considering you should only store enough that will be consumed in a week. Plus you will be polluting the water and doing more harm than good in my opinion. You should also look into feeding...

Just be sure with live food that you change the water daily with tank water and then re-store them in the fridge. Close to freezing temp is preferably with live food. I use black worms and have them in a container which holds around a cupful of water. Ensure also that the container you have...

Firstly you really need to tell us how big the tank is, how long it has been up and running with filter and the actual readings of the water tests. Based on the information given It sounds like your tank has not been cycled or since it was originally cycled you have added a significant load of...

Guppies generally are peaceful fish and I find it odd that the two didn't get along. Generally females shouldn't fight as most would recommend having a two or three to one female to male ratio. I would put it down to stress. Fish tend to attack those which are weaker. You could try putting...
