No, I will check the water specs now. The one guppy died but the others are okay for the moment. I added 4 small rainbow fish (can't remember the exact type) and one common halfbeak.

I recently moved my fish from my old aquarium to my new 55 gallon corner. I used the old filter media and everything has been fine for a few days. Today I added some new fish. At first everything was fine and my pack of make guppies and endlers were their normal curious selves, investigating the...

Oh okay - the thing that had me questioning were those reddish/orange stripes on the side.

Hello all, I have not gotten any responses on the breeding forum and thought I would try my luck here. I bought 3 scarlet badis on order from my LFS (ordered 1 male 2 females) and was disappointed to find that they gave me 2, possibly 3 males. The 2 males are obvious, but I wanted to check with...

Anyone have some input on this? Thanks!

Hello all, I hope this is the correct forum for this question. I bought 3 scarlet badis on order from my LFS (ordered 1 male 2 females) and was disappointed to find that they gave me 2, possibly 3 males. The 2 males are obvious, but I wanted to check with you guys if the 3rd one is a female. If...

Hey guys - I got a single dwarf puffer in my 15g aquarium. It is full of live plants, driftwood, and caves. I feed the dwarf puffer live black?worms from my LFS. I have been doing this twice a day, and he rarely seems to easily find them. I always make sure he gets at least one, and the shrimp...

Awesome! Thanks for the tips guys! The tannins seem to be steadily reducing with daily water changes. Can't wait to get this thing set up! I'll try to throw up some pics after.

How do you use the media bags? And isn't activated carbon already in the normal filter cartridge?

Thanks for your reply. I have boiled the wood as best I can but they are large pieces and don't really fit in a pot. The concern I have is that they are large pieces of wood in a small-ish tank. So I feel like the tannin will last a long time as opposed to if I had a large tank, and this tank...

Hello everyone, I am new here and thanks for having me. I have been playing with freshwater aquariums all my life, but have just recently started getting serious about it. My new aquarium is a 15g column aquarium. My goal is to decorate it with driftwood, live plants, and a "dark" collection...
