Now when I was a kid my mom would have a breeding pair seperate in a little floating breeder thing. Would i need to do that with live bearers? My plans were to get about 2 or 3 male(insert live bearer here) and 8 or 10 female(insert live bearer here) throw some gravel and fake plants in my 10g...

Okay my plans are to convert one of my 10g into a tank just for feeders for my larger tanks. Im sick of buying feeders all the time. Well I need advise on how to proceed. I want something fairly easy to take care of that will get big enough for my large oscars to eat and enjoy. Any help would be...

Ok where do I start?? Well I have a 55gal. glass aquarium that was leaking pretty bad. Fortunatntly I only had one 8 1/2 or 9 inch Oscar in there when I noticed the leak was bad enough that it needed attention. Well I have completely drained the tank and it is totall dry. I need to reseal it. I...

I only have two fish in there right now, so this sounds like a good idea. Having never done this before is this a fairly easy process?

Okay so I've got a 55 gal. glass aquarium. It's setup with freshwater and gravel. I noticed that the water level in my tank was dropping slowly than I expected. I checked the stand and yup its slowly leaking. My problem is the stand isn't metal, it's what I call compressed board, if you know...

I have another question. Does anyone have any suggestions as far as pellet food? My big guy eats about 30 goldfish a week (which is usually all in one day) the other days I'll drop a few pellets of HBH OSCAR SHOW Health and Color Formula food that he loves. I just got some Tetra Cichlid Jumbo...

Ok guys thanks for all the help. I have the two oscars split up, the little guy is doing better. I am going to get him one or two things for the tank he is in now that I didn't have last night when setting him up. I am also going to look for possibly another tank mate for my big albino (not...

Well the tiger I got could fit in his mouth but that sure didn't stop him. How big do cory cats get?

Ok well I have split them up in seperate tanks for now. Do you have any about what would be good tank mates for him in his current setup? I'm still new to this so I am still learning the ropes.

They are currently in a 55 gallon tank. They are the only two fish in there, well them and one pleco he's about 7 inches.

Just wanted to add I know the albino isn't hungry. When I bought the tiger I also bought about 30 feeder gold fish for him and the albino I introducted the tiger first then the feeders. As usual the albino has been tearing them up! But the tiger hasn't touched a one even though he has had...

I just got home with a about a 5 or 6 inch tiger oscar. Well he doesn't seem to sit too well with my 7 or 8 inch albino oscar. The albino has been picking and biting at him non stop since I got him in the tank. The little guys has already lost quite a few scales to the bigger one. I don't know...

I do have a HOB actually 2 but they aren't quit big enough for my 55 gal. I've ordered a much bigger bio wheel.

Ok with that said I'll ask this one. Is there a way to test the o2 level in my tank? I have a 55 gal. tank with one air pump rated for a 55 gal. and one air pump rated for a 15 to 30 gal. I've got one of the stone wand things with the suction cups things. One simple air stone under a rock like...

Well it sounds like the stealths are the way to go. Am I going right with the two 200's? Thanks for all the help this is my first larger aquarium and I want to get it right. Thanks again.
