    Dresser as Aquarium Stand??

    Was gonna build a stand but ended up buying this dresser for $15. Feels solid but added a small piece of 2x4 in the back just in case. Does this look like it'll hold a 29 gallon aquarium; 400lbs? I stood on it and it doesn't bow but want to get some advice. Should I put a mat or something over...

    Curious about stocking my 10 gal

    Harlen Rasoboras! I believe they even live together in the wild; could be wrong. If not maybe a school of little tetras or a few otocinclus but in IMO these finish are little bit more sensitive. possibly some guppies?

    Ich! Pictus Catfish & Rid Ich

    Your loaches showed stress to Ich Attack? I'm picking up the temp a degree every hour until I get to 81. I also just vacuumed the whole aquarium and the fish still look healthy and strong. I'll do the ich attack today as well since it's safe for scaleless fish. I ordered medicated food with...

    Help Introducing 3 New Angelfish

    I turned the lights on to feed them and then turned them back off. I removed the divider and they spent the first 5 min. just swimming around. Now they have slowed down and the big angel has pecked at a couple of them. Now I'll just turn the lights back on and hope for the best.

    Columnaris?! Mouth Fungus?! Mouth Rot?!

    I think you might be right. I'm probably over dramatizing :hide: but I still dosed some methylene blue just in case. I might possibly order some KanaPlex & Furan 2 like you suggested off amazon to ease my paranoia but Idk. I will definitely look into those medicated fish flakes you recommended...

    Columnaris?! Mouth Fungus?! Mouth Rot?!

    Congo Tetras have weird deformed mouths! They're grey, and I can see white teeth, over bites and one has bump under its mouth! I haven't done much but use some generic Melafix from walmart. (Ordered the API Melafix, won't arrive till Tuesday) I assumed it might be cottenmouth or columnaris...
