    Freaking Out!!

    Hi guys, I am a very neurotic person, and I should know better considering I have had my 30 gallon long tank for over a year. I got rid of some fish as the year wore on, and I noticed a few months ago that my tank was starting to look VERY empty. At the end of it all I had 9 neon tetras, 4...

    My New Babies

    Hey all, after 3 days of going back and forth to my local pet store, and debating whether or not I really wanted these fish, I finally picked up two female butterfly mollies, and one male lyretail molly. I could not get the butterflies off of my mind, and now I am so glad I got them. And so here...

    Yep they will be fine once a day. I have been feeding mine once a day for about 2 1/2 months now and so far no one has jumped out of the tank to complain. Fish can go 4 or 5 days without eating and still get on just fine. Trust me once a day will suit them just fine.

    Yes I would recommend once a day. It just cut's back on waste tremendously. That way if I didn't get a chance to do my reg water change, if I am a few days late I am ok with it, becuse I know that there won't be an over abundance of waste just sitting at the botom making everyone sick.

    Sorry I also forgot to ask how many times you feed your fish a day? I used to feed mine twice a day because I spoiled them haha. But the bioload at the end of the week was outrageous! I cut them down to once a day, and it made a huge difference with how much poop was at the bottom of the tank...

    The water changes were the biggest pain in the butt for me too. I learned to just suction around the plants instead of going all the way down into the gravel. I also now keep live plants in my tank, so it's much easier dealing with rooted plants. Do you have any driftwood or anything like that...

    When you got your tank did you put the gold fish in there immediately? If you did it's a common mistake the a lot of tank owners do. I did the same thing when I first got my fish. Usually when you start up a new tank you are suppose to let it cycle for about 2-3 months so the bacteria can build...

    Looking for for help in Nevada!!!!!!!

    I have been doing this for about 8 months, I know a good amount about water changes, and maintaining a filter. I can tell you right off the bat that the first thing you wanna do is get a Python for your weekly water changes. I used to have one of those crappy top fin ones from PetSmart which was...

    The Most Beautiful Fish

    I went into Petco today to pick up some new neon tetras, and I saw these gorgeous fish called Butterfly Mollies or something along those lines. They had gorgeous flowly fins and were gold white, yellow and black. Has anyone seen this? I am going back tomorrow to get a pair to breed later on. I'm...

    I'm An Idiot

    Nope I spoke too soon. He flares almost everytime he sees it which duh of course he is going to because he is a betta lol. My stupid sunburst platies keep trying to nip at his tale. There is a 90% chance that I'm going going to return him. I have life plants in the back, but they don't seem to...

    It looks like silicone glue. I've been watching him and it seems that he has grown tired of looking at himself and now swims by the mirror not caring that he sees the reflection

    I'm An Idiot

    I can't. When I bought the tank on craigs list it already had it glued on on the inside.
