    water clarity, products?

    I've got a 20 gal aquarium and my water has been "cloudy" for about two weeks now. I should explain "cloudy", it's actually little tiny particules floating around or suspended in the tank. I used a product called P Clear last night which was suppossed to clump together particules so the filter...

    AngleFish adding?

    Would adding one cause the angel to be more aggressive towards others? If so, should I get two? Thanks for the reply.

    AngleFish adding?

    I have been wanting to add angelfish to my tank for awhile but wanted to wait and let all the other fish get established in the tank. I know they can be nippy to fish like guppies, which I have. I've also heard that by adding the "aggressive" fish later on in the process at a young age they...

    3rd floor apartment

    Even if the building is wood construction, code takes into account the fact that 4-6 large men could be sitting on a large couch. Even with 4 @ 200lbs plus a sofa. around 1,000lbs. If it is a newer building it shouldn't have any problems holding a large tank. do check with management to see...

    High Nitrites

    Try a product called amquel+, work great for me in my recent almost tragedy with Nitrites. Lets just say that in three days of treatment and water changes my tank went form disaster to perfect and all the fish seem pretty thankful that I caught it when I did. It removes not detoxifies...

    Fish all at the top of the tank - anyone know why?

    I recently had a similair experience in my 20 gal. I was using the dipstick tests - BAD - and my readings were all pretty good. The nitrite seemed to be staying between 0 and 20 ppm with very frequent water changes but I didn't want to keep up that amount of work. All the fish were hanging...

    Second Tank, promised my wife guppies!!! Good tank mates?

    I ended up going with two dwarf gouramis and I'm quite pleased with them. I got one "flame" and one "blue'green) Really vibrant colors. Big Als rocks for quality of fish. Oh and I will mention I got all male guppies so I didn't have to worry about the fry. Thanks to all who replied.

    Adding fish into tank that had fish that moved out?

    Like I said I might very well move the red-tailed out if there is any chance he would go after the guppies. It's only been about 6 hours since the fish left and was hoping to add some fish tonight. Does the "bio-spira" really help either way and also how big do most guppies really get? I've...

    Adding fish into tank that had fish that moved out?

    I've moved the fish that were in a 20 gal to a friends tank that had the extra room for them and I new they were going to have to moved into a bigger tank in the near future. Having changed my mind on more tanks I thought they would be much happier with more swimming room. I've also decided on...

    Second Tank, promised my wife guppies!!! Good tank mates?

    Too inform all. The tiger barbs are already in another tank with a red-tailed shark and a dwarf frog. The new tank will most likely have 10-15 guppies depending on their tank mates, which is what I'm looking for suggestions on. Thanks again for the responses and I had to get my tiger barbs...

    Second Tank, promised my wife guppies!!! Good tank mates?

    I have got my hands on a free 33 gal tank and he's even throwing in one ore more aquaclear 300 for me. I would have to get new media but he said he might even have the original hood and maybe a second tank just the same. Great News!!! Anyways, my first tank I bought tiger barbs first which...

    Water change advice

    I was also told to replace with carbon with another sponge for more filtration. So far so good. Also someone told me that yes they just want you to keep buying the replacement bags to make money. Cleaning the used media in the old tank water seems to be the way to go. The water changes being...

    Walmart Aqaurium Kits

    I too recently purchased a kit from a pet store thinking it was the best way to. For the tank itself, it works, it holds the contents inside the walls. After one week I changed the filter to a better one, and the heater failed aswell but luckily before anyfish. The store let me use it as...
