Lol was one of the first fish I bought when I was new to fish keeping Thanks for your input you geek

I love my balloon pearl gouramis. Everyone is always fascinated by them and have no clue what fish they are. Mine are the most peaceful fish I own and, they've never shown aggression towards anyone else, and they hangout together and never leave one another's side

Go bigger! Lol I wish I had just bought a 240 long (96" long!) to begin with. You can get the tank and matching canopy for $1100 150 gal cost me about $650 brand new for the same thing... But it has it's limits... With a 240... Pretty much anything goes.. Cept big catfish and bass Sorry about...

150 gal With a pleco, an angel and 4 ctenos I feed them rosey reds once in a while and even the bgk hunts them down. I think he's happy... He's active throughout the day and night... But who knows, if only he could talk. And I do (3) 50% wc every 2 weeks. I think that's helped him grow... He...

Mine is 10 1/4" right now... If he gets to 18"+ ... I will consider getting a bigger tank. We'll see if his growth slows down. He's only a year old

Do you own a bgk? They don't swim like a normal fish...... They can swim backwards and I always see mine swimming vertically at night ... During the day he swims horizontally and moves from cave to cave... They bend like licorice too lol... They're more than capable of thriving in a 125-180 6...

Just wanted to say thank you to bob & old scales I used a plunger and my vacuum and it sucked out the gravel :) with minimal smell as well :D Anyways, the water is draining normally ... For now anyway. So far so good! Thank you so much.

How about some more liquid plumber and a coat hanger? Lol I gotta do something, Id much rather not have to take apart the plumbing... There's been stagnant nasty water in there for 8 months ... It would be dreadful

I'm just at work, I will take some pics when I get home ... I've seen adapters for pressure washers that fit down your sink... I was contemplating that idea Anyone have experience with that? I would try the vaccuum idea ... But how could I get the vaccuum attachment down my sink? Is it easy...

Lol when I first started keeping fish about a year ago I would vaccuum the gravel and some would get sucked up and go down the sink.. The sink got clogged pretty quickly and I've tried multiple liquid plumber type products, but have had no success... Luckily it's not my sink, I'm just renting...

People might not agree with me, but if you want to save your fish, you need to fix their water ...Personally, I've dealt with columnaris before, i was using maracyn 2, which had no effect...I was also at a loss.. I removed all the gravel and did a 100% water change. I rinsed out my sponge...

What level of humidity do you have your dehumidifier set to? How do you calculate what would be optimal for your specific basement? If the room temperature were closer to the tank temperature would that reduce the amount of evaporation from the tank? I understand that dehumidifiers raise the...

Hello everyone, I'm looking for advice from someone who has dehumidifiers, and also large fish tanks ... I can't take any chances. I need a responder with actual relatable experience I just bought a 240 long (8 footer with glass lids) and I'm going to be setting it up in my brand new apartment...

Whitey and big blackey

Agreed, looks like a male Australian Or possibly a macculochi who hasn't coloured up yet
