My pleco loves, lettuce, zucchini, spinich and peas.

I guess the Fluval 405 is the way to go then. Thanks so much for your input.

Does anyone have a recommendation for a canister filter for a 55 gallon? I've been looking into Fluval but they seem kind of pricey.

The new tank has a ungravel filter plus another that hangs on the side. I was going to use those plus one of my filters (Aquaclear 20) from my 20 gallon just for the BB. Eventually I would take the Aquaclear off and just use the filters that came with the new tank. Can I add my fish to the...

The tank has been dry for about a month. Could I use my gravel and ornaments in the new tank for the BB? Also, I have 2 filters on the 20 gallon, should I hang one on the new tank to get some bacteria growth? The main question I have is do I need to cycle the new tank even with the old...

Hello All, A friend of the family is giving us a 55 gallon tank with everything lights, filters, stand etc. I have a 20 gallon set up now and want to know the best way to set up the new tank. Will I have to cycle again? Do I just use the water from the 20 gallon in the new tank. I have no...

Fish is doing much better today. Did another water change last night and he's eating and his fins aren't clamped anymore. He still has some flakes on the top of his head but he looks so much better than 2 days ago. I'll still keep the temp up just in case. Thank you for all of your help.

Thank you! Happy Birthday. Enjoy your party. My son's birthday was actually on Wendesday.

Thanks guys. Raising the temp now. We shall see what happens. It's just one fish, a mickey mouse platy that hasn't been acting right for about a week. I'm not sure it's ick yet. It seems like the fishs fins are ragged. He's been getting bullied by the other mickey mouse in the tank. I...

AP Quick Cure Does anyone know if this is safe to use with a pleco in the tank.

Every LFS I went to in this area looked at me like I had 2 heads when I asked for Nerite snails. They said they had never heard of them. I was beginning to think they were rare and hard to get. Apparently in this area they are.

I think I'll get one and give it a try. I didn't realize the Nerite snails would be so hard to come by.

Thanks Coleallensmom. I wasn't sure if they were asexual or not. I tend not to trust the people at Petco. Cool maybe I'll get one of them. They had blue and gold ones that were nice looking. Do you know how big they get?

Still no luck getting the nerite snail. When I went to the PetCo they actually did not have them and tried to sell me mystery snails. They said that Mystery snails don't repoduce. Is this true?

Yup already white so I guess they are not fertilized.
