    Newbie Fishkeeper here, looking for a bit of advice! Its long!! Lol

    Hey there again Caleb! :) Glad you had a good day! Mondays can be stressful though, I can't deny. Your tank doesn't look overgrown to me! It looks great actually. I'm kinda jealous, lol. What do you do to let the plants be overgrown... besides not trimming them? Do you trim them? Lol. I was...

    PS: With the big fish net I used, it took less than 5 minutes to get it all! I was expecting it to take a while!

    Hey there! :) Lol, what a funny coincidence we got the exact same sand. I'm relieved actually because I was skeptical about it in the first place... at first I was mislead by the "Quickcrete" logo on there. I didn't want to make my new 30 gallon tank into a block of concrete! :lol: We figured...

    Hey guys! I was leaving the house this morning and noticed you had both replied. Sorry it took me so long to get back to you guys! Hopefully you had a great day! Thanks to you guys, I have learned a lot in the past few days. It doesn't go unnoticed. Caleb, those are some good points you bring...

    Hey Caleb! Thanks for the reassuring news. I'm glad I'm not the only one that's has thought of it before at least. I just added another filter to the list of things to get soon. I have been looking around at filters recently anyways because neither of the ones we have seem to do the job that...

    Hey guys! Thanks for the support! Sorry it took me so long to respond again, lol. Its been kinda a long day! That definitely does sound like a huge hardship to undertake. As much fun as that sounds, were definitely not ready to deal with that in this space, haha. It sounds like once you put...

    Hey again Caleb! Thanks again for all of your replies. You have been quite a big help! I also apologize for my late response. How would I take some of the filter media out of the established tank? The only filter I have is already in use and its really not that large. I've read that some...

    Haha, thats cute man... really cute! The Airplane! :D At least I will be able to keep him temporarily in the tank we have now. Ideally we can find someone that will let him live a good life, ya know! He's definitely deserving of it. The sadness is slightly overwhelmed with the excitement that my...

    One more question if either of you don't mind! How do I encourage my 30 gallon tank to cycle? Does the Fluval Biological Enhancer really work and make it safe for my fish to go into the tank sooner rather than waiting a longer period of time? Thats the only thing I have put into the tank so far...

    Hey there again Caleb! :) Thanks a lot for replying again! Everything you said was super helpful. I love the thought of those Loaches! They are really awesome looking creatures! I like that you brought up that they were playful and fun creatures to have. That is what I love most about Frank the...

    Hey there Sinibotia! Thanks a lot for your reply! Sorry for the delay too! Wow, you had just one pleco in 150 gallons? :o That seems like a monster indeed, lol! I hope someday I could be capable of having fishes like that. Thanks for sharing that with me! Its unfortunate that even in a 60...

    As for the poo problem... well, there is no avoiding that! I experience a ton of poo in the substrate when I am cleaning the gravel. They really can dish it out, lol... I hesitate to get rid of the pleco, I know he would just die if we gave him back to the fish store we got him from...

    We only have one Moor, friend! :cool: What if I just had the single pleco in the 30 gallon tank? I know a friend that the Black Moor might like to live in the pond hes started.

    Hey there Thing Fish! Thanks for your replies! I really appreciate the thought. This is my first few forum posts I've ever made, friend! Nope, I'm not the same person hehe. I have though always thought about posting here but never had. I'm glad I finally did! While I do realize that the 10...

    Hey there Caleb! :) Thanks for the reply! I unfortunately can't really do much better right at the moment than a 30 gallon tank. It might seem cruel reading this, because it certainly does typing it, but they might have to hold out in the 30 gal for a little while while we get the big tank...

    Here are some pictures! Sorry, I had forgotten to include them in the original post! PS: its hard to take pictures with a laptop, lol. ^This is the 30 gallon! Not quite finished yet. ^The goldfish named Fins swimming about in a kinda blurry picture. Frank the pleco is in the back eating some...
