    Ideas for a 15G Vertical Tank

    I have a 15gallon vertical tank with a large penn plax castle filling the middle with plenty of caves under the castle. Now I want a tank with no aggression issues because I made the mistake of having my female krib with a community tank and she killed many fish during her breeding phase. I was...

    Kribensis in african cichlid tank

    Okay so I have this 3 inch Kribensis. I bought her to go with my community tank and I didn't know when she is in breeding mode, she attacks and kills a lot of fish. So I moved her to a separate 15g tank for now alone. I have a project 30 gallon tank. Now I was thinking of making it an all...

    What do I do if my neon tetra has this disease and will it spread to other fish like a German Blue Ram?

    Ram at the top of the tank & losing weight

    Okay so my German Blue Ram is sick. She was a victim of ick a month ago, but I think I have solved that problem by raising the temperature and all the ick seems to have gone away. She was being chased around by the male a lot recently. And now lately she has been at the top corner of the tank as...

    Breeding in Groups or Pairs

I put 4 females in my hospital tank and 4 males in my main tank and I have been trying to have the best water quality and feeding them a mix of foods like bloodworms. Now my question is how long should I condition them...

    Bolivian Ram has a sore, need help :(

    I have bought a new Bolivian Ram for my 26 gallon tank, and about 2 weeks later I notice this sore above his head. I don't what it is. Is it an injury, disease, or what is it? It looks serious and I don't want him to die. Please help me if you have any idea what it is and what I can do to get...

    Will an electric blue ram mate with a normal German Blue Ram

    yes it does help. Just curious.. I would think they would pair up with similar species. But at least I got a pair of electric blues because those can go for 20-40 on the internet sites I was on. If I were to breed them, how many fry do you think I would get? And do I need a separate breeding...

    Will an electric blue ram mate with a normal German Blue Ram

And then I bought the normal colored ram cichlids and I think both of those are female. So I am just curious just do know, would the...

    How long do you "seed" the tank for?

    Just put a good amount, as much as you can, maybe swap the gravel with your established tank. Then your old tank can just reseed that gravel with all the bacteria growing in the filter, decor, walls, etc. You can also maybe just swap the filters too.

    Lost my 10 gallon tank

    that's not true, if your tank is well planted, they can take care of the pollutants. I have a pond in my backyard, and fish have been living in there for over 5 years and there is no filter. Yes aeration does improve the tank but its not a necessity. Actually I think the reason they died is if...

    Lost my 10 gallon tank

    You should have had either an automatic battery feeder or those week tablet feeder pellets. Fish can live without a filter... if you plant some live plants in there, they will help control the toxins like nitrates.

    How long do you "seed" the tank for?

    If you want to cycle far quicker, try to leave it in there as much as you can. Or you can buy a bottle of live bacteria they sell at the pet store to also be faster. You can also put in established gravel or decor in the new tank to help.

    Stocking for a 5 gallon

    a school of 6 Celestial Pearl Danios.. they are nano fish that reach the size of .75in and they are very pretty! So that would be 4.5in of fish, and add 1 red cherry shrimp as the bottom dweller, he can take care of all the algae. I would stick with only one shrimp because these little guys will...
