hi i am moving my 30g fw community into a 55g fw tank with new filter heater etc. i have moved all of the water from the 30g, the substrate and all decorations. an employee at the lfs suggested that if i move all the water and substrate over and run the filter that was running on the 30 in the...

hi. i have a sw tank and my psuedochromi (sp?) has developed ick. the tank contains two other fish (clown and puffer) and several inverts (snails, starfish). the problem is that the ick medicine i purchased, called pimafix, said that it was safe for inverts and it is definitely not. after i put...

i have noticed some strange behavior between my clown and puffer. the like to swim around each other and also swim real close and just be close to each other. the touch sides a lot too. no other fish in the tank act in this manner. neither of the fish seem to mind, on one occurence i saw the...

would adding a filter of the same size with a bio wheel help? if not what do you suggest i use for filtration. what should i use when i move them to the 55 gallon? i am using straight RO.

yeah that pleco is definitely too big. they will all be moved into a 55 gallon aquarium in the next month and i am trying to get a handle on the problem so that it doesn't happen in the 55. the water is a hazy white not green, i have had green water before. i will test the water parameters this...

hi. i moved from one city to another, set up a new tank for my fish and moved them in and i just keep have this hazy water problem. 30 gal with some larger adult fish and some small gouramis. the larger fish: angel, about 3 inches and a pleco, about 9 inches. the tank has been cycled for...
