Hello everyone, I have a bristlenose pleco who has recently (last 24 hours) developed two new spots towards his tail. They are larger than the rest of the spots on his body and I dont think the picture illustrates the difference in color. But the spots are definitely lighter in color than the...

Once the sand is placed, tank filled with water, and water is clear: How would you level the sand to the the wanted leveling, without clouding the water really bad?

...lol OK, so I know where this discussion is heading (hopefully there will be some kind of discussion lol). I see this a ton amongst the internet, "They will eventually kill each other, they have been bred for generations to be that way, etc." Is it not even worth trying? I feel as if it is...

:) Thanks again Smitty

Yeah.... I think I overreacted big tiiiiime lol. I was scared to death, omg. I felt like I was going to lose my fishies :( Everything is good now, and my fish are acting like nothing ever even happened. I appreciate the responses. Looking back on it now, I feel kind of stupid. Maybe my thinking...

Sure, as of right now, I have tested the water for its pH level and it is really dark blue which is a lot darker than the 7.8 of the kit test chart. My objective would be to get it to at least a somewhat similar shade of the 7.8. I guess you can say I wanted to try this out because it was...

I am really scared, I have had my 25 gallon tank for a while now and I have a few cories, black neon tetras, bristle nose. I wanted to add an air pump and stone to the water and I did so. The air stone was not working to well so I read up on it. One article I read earlier tonight said to blow...

That is awesome, I was thinking about getting a black background for my tank really soon lol. shhhweet

Ahhh see, that what I was thinking. Adding 1 tablet per 10 gallons will correct pH. But thats about all its says lol ( I just want to be extra sure, ya know? ). Oh well, thanks bro.

I have two kits and I understand how to use one for the most part. It is actually pretty cool. You just measure the water in the test tube and add the test chemical and so forth. Here is the first test kit that I feel I understand for the most part: API pH Test & Adjuster Kit (includes pH up &...

Pictures uploaded to the first post. Thanks for the replies! So far, they seem pretty energetic but they are sure pretty to look at. That would be pretty cool to witness. So far mine have been staying really close to the bristlenose :P

I used to own neon tetras but I can now proudly say I own black neon tetras. Today I purchased six of them and I must say, even though I love the blueish neon tetras, the black are simply magnificent! I might just have to get some more lol! Anyway, I was just wondering if you had any specific...
