I can try weekly till the smell goes away. I've been eating to get a 2nd whisper filter. But I'm lacking on funds for my tank right now. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

I can't tell how long it's been smelling. Because I can not smell correctly. I change water every three to four weeks. I guess I have to do better in water changes. But I do have a gravel filter with two power head pumps. It filters about 75% of my gravel super clean. I'll try running extra...

I have a 55 gal tank. I have has it set up for about 1 1/2 yrs. but my water is smells funny. All my chem levels are always good. I have tried doing major water changes. Do you all have any ideas? If I got another whisper filter to hang off the back do you think that would help?? I only have...

Sexing an angle has to wait till they mature. (At least from my experience.) I have never had any trouble with the same sex. But getting another fish might help. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Sand vs gravel can be argued all day long. I think it's a matter of opinion. I think sand looks really nice. But I have never went with sand. I prefer gravel because I use gravel filters. With power head pumps. I know a lot of ppl don't like or use gravel filters. I have had tanks for years and...

Angles can become aggressive. I have angle and tetras in the same tank right now. They do great actually. As far as matting. Just because you have m and f. Dose not mean they will mate. I had a male and female. (Female recently died.) they didn't want anything to do with each other. They were...

I don't have much experience sexing angle fish. But what I read online you have to wait too they are fully mature before you can tell. And then it's the tail fun that tells the difference. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

It could to where you transferred them to a new tank. Which means they need to set new boundary limits. How long has it been since you put them in the new tank??? Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Here's my 55 gal. It's going strong. All my fish are growing too. Couldn't be happier with my tank. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

I tried to mix opal and blue gourami with dwarf ones. It didn't go well. My dwarfs kept getting harassed by the bigger gourami. I had Gold Blue Opal Pink kissing They killed my dwarf gourami. They never came out of there shell. :/

I think tetras would be a safe bet with guppies. Giant danios Any danios really. Australian rainbow I have had good luck with these.

Thanks for the info. I don't have any loaches. So I'm safe there. I just thought they would be something different to have in my tank. I anyone has any good site to read about clams can you let me know??

I've been think about getting a few freshwater clams. But I don't know anyone that has any. I have tried to read some online. But what I've found is rather non informative. It just says they help clean the water. Does anyone have any freshwater clams??? What kind of effect do they have on the...

What do you all thing????

I've never had cichlids before. But I've always wanted them. I'm not sure what rules I should go by when stocking a tank. I'm thinking about a 29 gal tank. I've been told several things. Like to over stock the tank. (But I know that's not right) then to under stock and slowly add a few fish...
