Im looking to add fish to my 75 gallon tank. Right now I have 10 gold pristella tetras and six marbled hatchets. Im looking to add some more fish and thought a pair of angels would make a good centerpeice fish. Im also looking to possibly add one or two bristle nose plecs. My main concern...

I havent had much experience keeping cichlids but saw a pair of red jewel cichlids today in my lfs and am interested in getting some. What are good tankmates for these? And any other helpful information would be great too..... Thanks

I just got my 75 gallon up and running and am looking for some advice on stocking. Currently I just added a school of 10 gold pristella tetras and likely to add more to maybe 15. I also want to add a school of about 10 marbled hatchets (which would have been added today but of course they got...

We'll all the sides are equal length becuase its a hexagon aquarium.

I dont see anywhere where i can contol the flow of water through the filter. Its a penguin biowheel 350 if anyone has one and knows how to adjust it. My 20 gallon filter on a different aquarium has a control knob on it but this one does not.

I have the penguine biowheel 300 (the one up to 70 gal). The problem is is that the filter takes up one hole side and puts out a pretty good current. Is there anyway I can slow the flow on the filter or would floating plants near the filter slow the current coming off the filter?

I recently moved my 20 gallon tank into my 60 gallon hexagon tank and I am working on my plan to restock. Since the aquarium is more tall than long I want to have fish that will swim on each level. My plan is as follows: Top - a school of marble hatchetfish (probably a school of 7 since the...

I think the mollie you have is usually refered to as a lyrtail mollie.

I found a background made for terrariums made of polystyrene. I was wondering if this would be safe to use in an aquarium setting? At most half would be covered in water because I want to set up a water/land system. If this is not aquarium safe does anyone have any other 3D background sites?

I've actually had the problem of going over three platys at a time. Once I get over 3 platys the male and one other female in particular (the only male all others have been female) gets overly aggressive and then ends up killing off the fish to make the number three again. Its happened twice...

I kept a red clawed crab along with a dwarf puffer and platys (with a divider in the tank and the crab crossed to both sides) and I had no aggression problems either way. I even saw the fish grabbing food out of the claws of the crab and nothing. Make sure you tank is covered good because I...

I had no problem using Bio-Spira. I even used the smaller freshwater package for a 55 gallon brackish tank and had no problems at all. I just added the fish and the package and thats all.

here is a link to the video . The yellow one is the one that is being picked on but here in the video really turned into the aggressor.

Its a 20 gallon but is divided (a little over half to the platys) because of my dwarf puffer. There is also a red clawed crab in the tank (when not living in my filter) and a borneo sucker. So I just captured a video of my 2 female platys fighting. The aggression seems to be getting worse...
