It seems like my bushynose pleco is ambushing my cory. Cory just minds his own business then out of nowhere comes the bushynose and chases him off. Is this normal? I feel bad for him.

How long should I soak driftwood in water before I put it in my fish tank. I called my fish store and they told me it releases tannins into the water so I had to soak it in water before I put it in there to get rid of them.

Put all those poor little critters would lose their homes.....LOL

But it's not illegal til you get caught, right? LOL

I checked it out on the DNR website and they said it is to protect the habitat and the shoreline

I guess collecting driftwood is illegal in WI, which is where I'm from.

One more thing, can I just get a piece of driftwood by the local river or should I get it from the lfs?

I just need to know if I should scoop it out and put new stuff in with the fish in or take them out .

If I want to switch gravel in my tank, how would I go about that. It has been setup for about 6 months. I'm sick of the pink gravel that came with it.

When I do a water change should I use the vacuum to clean the gravel every time or just take water out? I'm pretty new to this and just found this forum, which by the way, is full of info and helpful people. Should've done my research before I started. Just kinda jumped in blind. Learning as I go.

Finally a nice pic of him!

I hope that's good he's sneaky

Would he be alright in there for another 6 months? Trying to wait until tax time to get a bigger tank.

And how long until he outgrowsy 10g tank?

Can you tell from this picture?
