I have a White Skirt and he'll bully my Platy lol

I will surely do that because you have been helping me a ton! You seem to know what your talking about. +1!

The gross stuff is like clear and hangs off lol

He does mention both ways actually. He does say though if your doing a cycle with fish in it, pick up some hardy species of fish. He does say though that he does not like to use his own valuable fish to cycle. He doesn't really go into much detail about fishless cycling though. He does talk...

Another question, when I due the 20-30% water change, wonder if all the decorations are dirty? Just pull them out and clean it with a wash cloth? Same thing with the filter. The tube has gross stuff all over it. Turn it off and wipe it with a wash cloth? How do you guys do that?

Haha, I am just understanding that now, Yes, I''ll be able to get a test kit, and I'll look at the levels :)

I have had the fish for about 4-5 months now and all 3 of them have survived. No one at the pet store ever told me of testing my waters lol.... Ghostie is a Ghost Shrimp lol :P

Thanks mac, that really helped a lot! Now wonder if the parameters aren't right?

OK, so tell me if this is a correct thing to do. I get a bucket specifically for my tank. I siphon about 30% of the water in my tank into my bucket. I make sure, Minnie, Tet-Tet and Ghostie are still in my tank. (lol) I then carry this heavy bucket to a sink or outside and dump it. Go refill...

OK, so I am having a tough time understanding something. I have a 10g tank and I have never tested it before. I was never informed of this at my LPS when I first got the fish. I was informed to cycle the tank for a week and I did. But, when I do full water changes, I don't cycle the tank. I add...

So I went to the LPS today and I walked in and got this: The Simple Guide To Freshwater Aquariums at PETCO I'm going to read the whole thing before I begin to challenge myself with live plants and more challenging things. It's a very good book so far and now everything is starting to become a...

So what type of test kits does everyone use? I was thinking of getting a master test kit like this one: F/W Master Test Kit How long do they last?

Yea, I was thinking of maybe a 55 gallon too :) maybe i can get a good deal on one

OK, so in the next few months when I get some extra $$$, I want to get a tank and stand off of CL, with a filter and such. I am having trouble deciding which size to get. As of now I have a 10 gallon tank, but I want a bigger one. I would like to actually put some real plants in it and make it...

Lol, I used to live in Plant City too! The strawberry festival!
