No I cycled the tank before we got fish. Unfortunately the angel died due to getting a fin caught in the filter intake. There's a 48 hr guarantee on him but where he died from basically getting a fin torn up badly I'm not going to hold the store to their policy.
It did and I completely understand why to be prepared with any living thing. We have currently 3 dogs and have had to deal with a variety of medical emergencies with them and some that we lost to disease. So being prepared with the fish is a must so we're not running around when something goes...
OK so I have gotten a few of the supplies and have plans to get the rest before the first through cleaning. But I have run into an issue now that I have added fish. I had one fish get their fin caught in the filter and I was wondering if there is anything that can be done to help prevent this...
Craigslist is a good place to look thank you. Unfortunately I don't think our Angle is going to make it. Woke up this morning and he was stuck to the filter, a fin was caught in it. His favorite place to hang out was in a plant that at the top floats near the filter, not sure how long he was...
No saltwater experience yet so from what I have heard I may have to wait on doing the shark for him. He was drunk when he was given it by a street vendor and when he tried to get it more water to swim in he used table salt. Since then we both have learned a lot but by the sounds of it we may...
No the reason why it's a tragic story is that the shark only lived about 5 6 hours, but in that time he fell in love with the shark. I will have to look in to a custom tank.
Good to know I'm letting them grow in my tank since I have no other fish that will clean my tank and I'm not really worried about them being there and my husbands fear of them getting out was alleviated.
I just started my tank not long ago and when I got the plants for it I ended up with what looks like the same kind of snails. I took 2 of them in to the local fish store with me and asked what they recommended of them they recommended a small Loach but be advised they can get big I was advised...
Got his fish
Got my son his fish and he was glued to the Angel fish they had some small ones in so we took on 1 Angel fish knowing that with in a year we would have to get a larger tank within a year. We also got 3 neon Tetras, 1 Dalmation Molly and 3 Male Platies. So now I'm looking into how...
I just got my son started with his first tank and he LOVES it. It's a fresh water tank so it's a whole different world from what my husband wants. While in our local fish store my husband saw a newly hatched marble cat shark and realized that it was more than likely the same breed of shark that...
I wish I knew what they were they look about like slugs but have a low shell. I saw the first a few days ago saw more this morning and when I put my son down for a nap I stopped and counted and saw about 20. So I'm not sure what to do about them now.
I will keep those fish in mind while my son...
Ok so should be able to let my son pick out fish towards the end of the week. Other than Hornwart and I think it was called Nana and a bout a dozen tiny snails that I'm trying to control there is nothing living in the 10 gal tank. I am planning on letting him pick most of the fish with advice...
My son loves fish and my husband wants a 50+ tank we got him his to start us out. I know we will end up with a few tanks but starting with a small one for my son appeased my husband and gives me good reason to take up the huge stand my husband would want to put his tank on until my son is old...
