too many males... not to many males.. sorry.. :oops: BTW... i have had no losses lately, the angel fish is in her new home and i dont intend actually adding any more fish for at least another month of so of having no losses :D but i am excited already and wanting to plan, plan, plan... :)

Hi... I would love some help with stocking my tank before i make any major mistakes (assuming i havent already) there is so much information out there that i have confused myself :) OK.. i have a 55 gallon rectangle tank (i found this out :roll: ) i now have housed in it.. One electric...

Which tank do you have and which do you prefer?? i love the look of the acrylic tanks and adore the rounded corners (well, i spose they arent corners if they are rounded :roll: ) but have only ever had glass tanks. Price has a little do with it but i am mostly put off the acrylics because...

No worries :) i have the water at a 7.5 ph level ph which is the lowest for the lombardi and yellows and depending on which web site you are looking at pretty ok for the clown loach.. would it be beneficial to maybe lower the ph just a little bit?

Could she have fin rot?? because her top fin, back and under are just shredded and i dont know how the Lombardi could possibly cause that much damage... he does nip at her and hound her out of certain areas of the tank but in her own corner she is pretty well left alone. I have done a...

aww.. i am sorry :( i can be so very defensive, it is just the way i have to be around here and i guess it has become part of my personality :( sorry. Now i realise what you mean and i feel so guilty about being such a sarcastic and beligerent cow.. i hope you accept my apology :( As...

Awww thanks Meredith... your such a sweetie :D OH BOY... soooo sorry that my silly little angel problem is so unworthy of being here.... If you want to put it that way.... ALL the problems people come here with are unworthy because on the larger scale of life, HUMANS are actually dying...

LOL @ some of you guys... :) Defekt.. your idea is fabulous... and i will be doing that next time ;) Funny about the sore throat, because i have had a sore throat and tummy ache all day... getting better now though :D

Something horrid happened yesterday and it nearly broke my heart. My angel is getting nipped at by the Lombardi, just her fins and not all the time but enough that she is looking raggedy, she is still active and happy but looking raggy so i figured i would set up my ten gallon and let her...

I learnt a hard lesson yesterday.... i got impatient... trying to get my coke bottle/hose gravel cleaner to operate fast enough.. and put my mouth on the end of the hose to suck the water through that bit faster :roll: i do not suggest anyone try this method... when the water hit the back...

aww.. thanks sherrilee, do you think clown loaches will get along with cichlids?? cause if so i will get a friend for my loner :)

Oh no.. sorry, i didnt even think about acknowledging the author of the article.. that is bad isnt it... sorry :( Thanks for that advice A n-tiasg, i will do that... :) btw, how did you come up with such an interesting user id??

PMSL @ defekt.... sorry, not funny.. but it is sooo funny :twisted: The black tetra died, i fished it out this morning. My tank is four foot and holds about 50 gallons. The ph is around 7.3 and the amonia being clear i thought nitrates would be of no consequence :? Done...

My water is high quality.. the only thing i can put this down to is stress. The cichlids have been picking of the neon tetras one by one and i am assuming that this could cause stress, i may have been leaving the light on for to long also. I am going to do the broad spectrum antibiotics...

OMG.. 8O . i dont believe it... and i was so happy because my tank was doing so well again... PH is FINE.. Amonia levels are zero.. No amonia..... :? Every other fish seems to be great, the new cichlids are fine, angel is still fine and survived the first catastrophe. IT is the black...
