Unfortunately, the camera I have been using is not working, so I can't post a pic at this second. I will see if I can get one uploaded later. In fact, I would say count on it, I really want an accurate opinion. I was talking about putting a piece of acrylic under the bottom and fastening it...

Hey there, thanks for the response. I just got done draining it and I inspected the bottom. Yes, I do believe the chamber is an overflow. Honestly I can't tell for sure if it is a bad silicone seal because I notice the leak occurring directly under the tank, not where the seam/seal is, but then...

Hello all. I'm finally going to set up a used 75 gallon aquarium tank I bought used a couple of months ago. I am currently running a second water-test by filling it with hose water and allowing it to sit a couple of hours to ensure it wont leak when I set it up inside. I am noticing a small...

Well I did some research on fancy-friendly tank mates, and I read about a couple of different kinds of loaches that do well with fancies if proper tank parameters are met. I am a person who likes variety, so I am looking to keep something other than fancy goldfish if my means allow it. At the...

I am looking to set up the new 75g acrylic aquarium I got to house my three fancies (still small), perhaps one more fancy and a few seasonal loaches (the ones that change color). Am wondering if I will need just a filtration system appropriate for a tank of that size, or if I should also...

Indeed, I am ecstatic over having a 75 gallon tank practically in perfect shape for that price, but I always think about such things as what happened to the smaller one. May be due to my OCD... Anyway, he did mention I would need a solvent to take care of the lid/top part, but I did not...

Thanks for your response. Thinking in retrospect, I recall the seller mentioning that I would urgently need to re-seal the lid portion of the first tank, due to it being loose. I am not sure if this would affect its ability to hold several pounds of water. On the other hand, he said the larger...

Hello all. Earlier I scored two acryllic aquariums (one 60 gal and the other 75) for a total of $20, previously owned by a skilled aquarist. Upon text filling the first [smaller] one the back end split in half, ruining the tank. I am now trying the other and it is almost full and I am wishing...

Lionheads are breeds I am looking into myself, but if you want something that is very animated yet physically cute, I would easily recommend a pearlscale of any color. I have even seen pictures online of black moor/pearlscale hybrids.

Their bodies are much rounder than normal fancies, and their scales protrude to look like little white cysts or flecks. They are adorable little things who have puppy-esque qualities to them. Baby Pearlscale Goldfish In Bubble Trouble - Very Funny! - YouTube The one I have is white with orange...

I am a huge fan of pearscales. I got one a few months ago and it is doing great; very cute, and it's amazing how fast it swims around given its shape which appears hindering. I heard there are even chocolate colored ones but I have not seen one anywhere I look. Other than those I am also a huge...

So they are relatively non-picky critters? Sounds perfect for me. I also love the loud "cracks" they make when they smack stuff, but I'm wondering if that would keep me up all night. Feed them once or twice a day? Would probably offer butter clams from the store and shrimp if that works. Thank...

Hello all. I have been working a new job for about a month that takes away from my aquarium time, so I am looking to get a freshwater invertibrate for my goldfish tank to help with algae and waste. So far I have only gotten feedback regarding snails as being the most compatible tank-mates for...

They are really amazing shellfish and I'm thinking about putting one in one of my now empty 10gal's that I was also considering setting up as a micro reef tank with tiny fish. What do they need as far as filtration, heating and lighting?

Hello all, been a while since I posted here...sorry about that, been stressing about work and personal life so I have simply been maintaining my four goldfish and their aquarium (which has been going well, if I do say so myself). Anyway, I am looking to get my own place by next spring, and my...
