There ain't but so many fish out there, until they start harvesting fish from Saturn African Cichlids will be a basic as well as Central and South American breeds Not sure what's in style, for that you need to ask your Facebook friends what will make you cool. Sharks and piranha are popular...

I was in Houston today and they had albino sharks on sale for $3.99 Good looking fish, I almost bought one despite the fact that I have NO aquarium he/she would fit in. Love the red fins.

I've started diversifying my food in all my tanks. Depending on the type of fish, I may alternate between bloodworms and flakes (guppies, neons etc.) and the cichlids get NLS some nights, flakes, peas and live earthworms other nights. I also started buying different flakes to add diversity...

After doing some more research I now have a direction and that's internal bacterial. I've used a lot of treatments that were parasite based but I had NO external indications of what the problem was except 'not eating' and 'white stringy poo'...could have been anything. The popeyes are not a...

The following post explains what has been going on. http://www.aquariumadvice.com/forums/f17/time-to-go-back-in-main-tank-331740.html I ignored the fish for a few days including lights out in order to lower stress, but today I checked on him and saw this I still want to save this fish...

Thanks, that's a nice site and it looks like the next cure all is Paracide-D. At the rate I'm going I'll have tried every medication out there. I just wish that so many of these medications didn't instruct you to add to food when the symptom is fish not eating.

I think you're right, as long as I follow the proper flow rate as to not make the current difficult for the fish then a one way flow should be very effective towards a clean tank. The entire end of the tank on the outflow side will be a smooth rock bottom for ease of vacuuming. I'll also keep...

I have a desperate need for verification before i do what I'm going to do anyway Does that make any sense :lol:

Nobody's done this?

One way directional filter flow freshwater 210 I'm designing a planted discus freshwater 210. Since clean water is especially important with discus I'm thinking of running three canister filters with all intakes on one end of the tank and all outflows on the opposite end. I would like to put a...

I had a pump failure and the pump was a part of the heating system for my 150 Ran over to Wally World and bought a $15 ceramic heater and stuck it under the cabinet pointing at a large canister. Between warming the canister water and adding heat to the bottom of the aquarium within one hour my...

GE Silicone I works, do not use GE Silicone II because of anti mildew additives Is it fixed yet?
