my friend's dad did this experiment where he put 15 guppies in a 10 gallon tank that had a tube to another 10 gallon tank. the tube allowed the fish to go from one tank to another. anyway, the only thing he did for about 5 years was feed the fish daily...it's still going and he's had to give...

One time before i went to bed, i looked into my tank and saw my tiger barb kinda just floating around with his nose pointed toward the gravel. at first i thought he was dead, but i walked up to the tank and he spooked and swam around again. i noticed that he does this every night, it must just...

that's ridiculous...i would've thrown the cup at her face, then laughed...

haha, i live right on the canadian border, so there's tons of traffic going up to all the canadian boxing day sales the day after christmas...

the temp here has been consistently in the low teens. i thinkit's gotten as high as 26F in the last week and a half. my poor little heater in my 10gal can barely keep a steady 78...i think it drops to about 75 at night. we're supposed to get more snow today through tonight...

yup, i had my tiger bard eat two mollies, it was pretty cool to watch, especially since the mollies were free!

I'm sorry, I had a Chinese Algae Eater jump out of my 10gal and a friend had a sword and an eel jump out of his 60gal a couple weeks ago. It's an epidemic, i swear. I would recommend a hood for sure. Other than that, no idea why the others would die...

Ok, well, if i do that, what type of filter do you suggest i get?

I have very soft water and can't seen to keep a constant ph in my 10 gal. but i have an undergravel filter, so where would i put the crushed coral? under the gravel? also, where would i find some? (sorry if these are stupid questions).

Yeah, i just did some research and found out that it's a golden CAE. thanks for the lead.

It's the one under the rock ornament, it's not a pleco...and it's got yellow-ish orange eyes. He's probably about 4 or 5" long, and about an inch wide.

is it better to have just a plain black background than just having nothing? i have a university of washington huskies pennant hanging on the wall behind one of my tanks...i never really thought about a background...

I'm not sure what kind of sucker fish it is...it's long and orange, i'll try to get a pic up or something. i think he might be an albino something or other, any ideas?

I don't know, they seem to get along, and the Barb has pretty much established dominance...they've lived together for about 7 months by now without any trouble. Also, i only have them in a 10 gal. tank, so i don't think i could get any more barbs in there comfortably.

one of my friends has a pleco that's about 17" to 18". every time he reaches in to re-bury his plants, the pleco thrashes around and uproots them all again. lol
