I am in Central CT. Temp 96-101 with heat index 110. Had to put AC in just to keep fishes cool, hot fish swim sideways. Not good. All the tanks are in my living room. Funny thing there is no AC in the bedrooms. Really don't want the electric bill.

I would love to have some of the cherry shrimp. I can pay you now if you could ship them the 1st of august. I am on vacation. Doesn't stop me from this site though! PM me how to pay you.

My plants did the same. I would wipe them off gently and continue doing PWC. It went away after a few weeks of showing up I was told it was brown algae and is normal in a newly planted tank. I am curious what the other more experienced will say. :)

So I started doing a daily "time-lapse" picture. Taking a picture in the morning and evening. I figure after 8 weeks or so I can start working on a video showing the growth. Hoping it works out the way I want it to.

what kind of pleco? pretty please, pics? I have 56G and no pleco in it. I may be able to give him a home.

Looks fabulous. I have the same tank! Currently it is artificial plants. I just started with planted in my 20L. Your plants are great to get some height. It is beautiful! Thank you for sharing.

I am mostly happy with this set up. Maybe a little tweaking of plant locations. There are long finned blue danios and a couple juvenile balloon mollies. The mollies will be leaving for the 10G as soon as it is back together.

So now he is flashing against almost everything!!! thank you flossie, I looked up gill flukes and it appears this is what is going on... my molly is starting to show some feathering around her gills too. So now how do I treat for gill flukes? thank you

No flashing or scraping. He is swimming like normal. I don't think it is a tumor either. Only because this wasn't something that grew, it wasn't there at night and was there the next morning.

My Opaline Gourami has an issue around his gill. Can't really tell if it is gill or right below the gill plate. (attached some pics). He is in a community tank 56G column, filtering with Fluval 405, been doing 25% pwc every day. Tank has been cycled and occupied for approx 5 months. There has...

Where are you located? Basically need to know if these will survive in New England. Pics?

I had read the same, they get to be 11" and bigger if well cared for. He is already approx 5" and in a 56G high. Different sites and books I have read say this fish should be in 100-125G minimum. I am trying to be a responsible fish owner and provide him the best he deserves. I appreciate if he...

Have to part with my Chinese Algae Eater, Mr. Chuen. Had him 11/2 - 2 years. I say he but am unsure boy/girl. When I got him I was a NOOB and didn't know he would need a much larger tank than I can provide, needs approx 125G. I was misled by Pet____ :facepalm:. If someone has the room for him I...

I had this happen when I changed water in my tanks. I started doing two things. 1. Take the aerator off your faucet when doing PWC (this will elimate a huge amount of air in the water) 2. When pouring the water into the tank don't pour right in, this disturbs the bottom and cause a possible stir...

If you don't get a reply, I would be interested (do not want to step on any toes). I am in transition to live plants. Let me know how much for plants and shipping.
