I placed a med pleco in one of my tanks. 14 gal. There are about 6 julii cats. Very small and one glow fish. Decorative. 2-3 days later the med pleco had been chewed beyond recognition and I am trying to figure out how. Was it the Julii cats? They are strong in numbers, but very small. Any...

Thanks. I'll do a test. As for the diet. I already reed them new life spectrum along with frozen brine shrimp and blood worms. I melt one cube of each and divide that up between my three tanks at both feedings. The sick guy is in the 75 with most 5 other convicts and the Oscar. There's also a...

Aloha, I was wondering what I can use to anchor a plant in a hole in my driftwood that's not harmful/toxic for my aquarium. I've seen lead bands on plants. What's good n safe?

I just noticed a couple of a days ago that one of my male pink convicts has small holes around his eye socket and now there are a few hole forming around his mouth. All the holes for now are on his right side. I have the med lg Oscar in there with the deformed mouth. An associate at the local...

I forgot to mention, but yesterday I tested my 75 gal water and here are the results. Ph-6.4 Alk-0 Hardness-120 Nitrite-0 Nitrate-40 Ammonia-0.25

Oh, and one maybe two of my emerald Cory cats has these white patches all over their body like someone with that skin pigment disorder. Sorry, not sure what it's called, but how about that for complicating things. Should I relocate these corys till I can get that under control? Don't really have...

Ok, I did the first 50% pwc the next day and oh what a pain up in a PH condo, but anyways... The water is actually green, not hazy white... I also removed this one large long leafy plans that got huge just from when I filled my tank. It was actually blocking out the light and making it hard for...

Test Thanks...I will test the water again and perform a water change. Just did 25% last week and it seemed to get worse. I suppose I could clean the canister filter as well. Aloha!

Still cloudy!! Aloha, without reveiwing what I've written previously, I just want to mention that after all this time, my 75 FW is cloudy. White hazy cloudy, not dark murky cloudy and I have never experienced this in all the aquariums I have had. They have always been crystal clear. This is the...

Piggy Thanks Steve...I was even thinking of moving the goldie over to the 30 gal with 2 convicts, but am not sure if the med size male will pick on the gold fish. Anyone think he or the small female will be aggressive towards the gold fish? They aren't breeding and at the pace they are going...

Is this normal? Guess I just needed someone to validate what my small goldfish is doing. I thought they were herbivores, not everythingvores...

I have 6 EG Corys in my 75 with the convicts and Oscar and red tail sharks. I noticed one of them has what looks like a war wound on it's nose and though maybe it got too close to the pair of convicts with fry. Now I see there's another, but not as bad, but it's a small white area on it's nose...

Just want to mention in case I'm not the only scatter brain that didn't know this, but I found out the hard way not to put my convict fry in with a small feeder with a constant need to eat. Didn't think it would eat the fry, but to my surprise, it did. Eat or be eaten I guess is it's theory...

Hi, I am going to try and reseal a 55 gal I have and wanted to know what type of silicone I need to use to keep it aquarium safe? Scott
