    SA cichlids with Angelfish

    What types of SA cichlids could I stock with an angelfish in a 29 gallon long? My plan right now is just some dwarf cichlids but are there any larger species that I could add? Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

    Aquarium Redesign and Stocking

    So first a little background (feel free to skip this if you want, this is just my second post so it's also bit of an introduction) I started the hobby with a 15 gallon column tank and that went quite well for me so I decided to upsize to a 29 gallon long and moved all the fish to the new tank...

    Setting Up New Co2

    Hi, I wasn't sure whether to put this in this forum or the equipment one so hopefully this is the right place. I recently bought a fluval co2 88 set it up and it worked perfectly for the rest of the day. The next day I found that water and siphoned up the tube, I don't think any got into the...

    Spin Aquarium Around

    So I have some scratches on the front pane of my 29 gallon aquarium and I want to spin it around so the scratches would be on the back. Is this feasible? I figured if I brought it to 10 gallons of water in it would way around 80-90 pounds (that's including the stuff inside) but read that the...

    Glass Scratches?

    Are there any good ways to get scratches inside the aquarium out of glass? They're quite fine, hardly feel them on the inside but there's one or two that my fingernail can catch in. I'm guessing those are there for good? What's the best way to remove the smaller ones? Does anyone have expierence...

    New Finnex Light?

    Hi so I've had my 29 gallon long tank for almost a year now, first ever tank, and am fairly happy with the hardscape but my aquarium kit light can't grow a thing. I was going to replace with this light http://www.amazon.ca/gp/aw/d/B009IRJHZK/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?qid=1410398690&sr=8-3&pi=SX200_QL40 Do...

    Shark Week 2014

    Who's going to be watching? I just checked the shows this year and I feel kinda 'meh'. Really annoyed there's going to be another Megalodon mockumentary to mislead the less informed. One fake show was one too many IMO. Also not a fan of the shows solely about attacks...there's more to sharks...

    Plants Stopped Growing

    I've noticed this problem with a few plants I've bought now. I put them in my tank, they grow quite quickly and then after a few weeks/months they just stop all growth? 29 Gallon Low-Tech: Aqua-Glo 25 Watt Fluorescent Bulb Twice a week doses of flourish I'm guessing it's just a lighting...

    Cotton Mouth Tetra

    One of my neon tetras has a white growth on his lip and I'm thinking it's some kind of cotton fungus type of infection. I recently did a large rescape and think that might have caused stress allowing him to become affected. It's super hard to get a pic because of the quick movement but... Just...

    29 Long Rescape

    I am 14 and have had my first real tank, a 29 gallon long, for a few months now. I am just a little bored with the layout. I was hoping to make a bit of a build thread so that people would tag along and give me some advice as I go. 29 Gallon "Long" 7 neon tetra 6 rummy nose 4 panda corys 1...

    Fluval C4 Not Working

    I've had my Fluval C4 for a number if months now and been great but I woke up today and it's just stopped working. Everything is plugged into the same power strip and everything else is working but the C4? I can feel the impeller part vibrating and it's warm but waters not coming up the intake...

    What is the cause?

    So about 3 months ago I bought two Appistogramma cacatuoides from the same place, one male and one female. The male died within a month from what I assumed was stress from the elevated heat/salt I was using to treat ich. (Which I'm pretty sure he brought in) Just now I had to euthanize the...

    Angelfish

    I am interested in getting a freshwater angelfish but have some questions before I do. #1-Can I even put one in my tank? I am mostly worried about height since I have a 29 long and it's only 16" high. I understand how angelfish grow vertically a fair bit and was worried about cramping his fins...

    Whats up with my snail

    I've had 2 mystery (?) snails for about a month and they have been super active and a way more fun than I predicted. One of them is now just not moving and I'm worried he's dead. I've read that they will sometimes do this for a few days but I am still worried. I touched him gently and he didn't...

    Tank Needs Serious Help

    I have been keeping fish for just under a year and have been doing fairly well so far. I started with a 15 but tore that down and moved all fish into a 29 long back in October. It hasn't been quite as easy as I hoped. Tank Specs: 29 Gallon Long Amm=0 Nit=0 Nat=5-10 PH=7.5-7.8 50% weekly...

    Can't Get Up-HELP!

    I am really about my my Apistogramma Cacautoids! He is just lying on his side and can't swim upright. When I first walked in I thought he was dead, which honestly brought me to tears until I saw him struggle to swim up to the glass which was worse. What's wrong with him? 29 Gallon Long Amm-0...

    Ich with plants, inverts and corys

    So I noticed a few of my fish had ich about 2.5 weeks ago. I upped temperature up to 86-89 F. I have been doing daily 30% water changes but I still have ich. I was hoping to get rid of it with just heat because I have a number of plants, amano shrimp, snails and panda Cory's. I'm now considering...

    Green Cabomba

    I have a large grouping of Green Cabomba that's growing well but I was just wondering, how can I make it grow bushier rather than spindlier? I want lots of needles and not so much visible stem. Should I trim the tops off when they get tall, would promote new leaf growth?

    Small Case of Ich

    I just spotted what I believe is ich on a few of my fish. Thankfully I spotted it early as there are only 1-3 on 1-3 different fish and all neon tetra. None of the fish seem affected greatly. To treat I was going to slowly raise the temperature from 25 C (77 F) to 30 C (86 F) and try to daily...

    Aqueon Water Changer

    So I bought the Aqueon Water Changer from Petsmart today...only to find it doesn't't fit any of my faucets. Am I missing something...do I have unusual faucets...is this a design flaw...am I just stupid? Can I make this work somehow?
