Well, its been a good 2 or 3 months since I've had my tank up and running. The water parameters have been constant and ideal. After I introduced live plants when starting my tank I had a problem with numerous snails appearing several times a day. I removed them all by hand and thought that was...

I have 3 opaline gouramis (one of the prettiest freshwater fish IMO :D ). I've noticed that their colours range from a well defined baby blue a really dark and rich navy blue. The male usually shows the colour change first and within 30 seconds to a minute the females changed as well. I was...

Another set of gourami questions :roll: . Today I noticed the gouramis (2 opaline) weren't swimming around as much. They both have been hanging around the middle/bottom of the tank in/around hiding areas. They seem to be swimming around much less than before. Another strange thing is that...

I'm having a little trouble determining the sex of my new opaline gouramis. I've checked out this site http://freshaquarium.about.com/od/fishqa/f/faq2060.htm but the information is kinda confusing to me. Both seem to show signs of males AND females. I kinda think i may have it figured out...

Yesterday, I added 2 opaline gourami to my tank (5 black neon tets and 2 albino corys). For a couple of hours after they were added the tetras seemed really stittish around them. During last nights feeding the gouramis started eating from the top. THEN!!! two of the tetras (that always wait...

Hello again. I was wondering what everyone thinks about blackwater extracts. When i started up my tank I hadn't really put any consideration into prefered substrates. I ended up getting some moderatly dark gravel/stuff... whatever its called :). I have some pretty large assorted sword plants...

It's about to be 2 weeks since ive had my black neon tetras. They seem happy and aren't showing any signs of stress. However, they still wait at the bottom of the tank and only eat food (flakes crushed into small pieces) when it floats by the pump and is forced to the bottom where they hang...

ive been looking at some albino cory cat profiles online. many of them dont list a type of food to feed them. back when i overfed the tetras, the cats basically did a complete clean up of all the muck that had accumulated (mossy looking stuff that formed around the plants and on the gravel {is...

Just got 5 neon black tetras for the tank. I've been using this sample of bio-blend tropical by marineland labs since they were bought on Thursday. I've noticed when during feeding they either don't see the food because its falling somewhere else or eat only a few specs that fall near them. I...

so, i finally got my tank (20 gal) up and running after some pH tweakin. its provided me with hours of entertianment thus far (its replaced my tv! :P ). anywho, a couple days ago i noticed baby snails in my tank(probably 5-7). I've got 3 good sized sword plants i bought and about 3 to 4...

i know this has been asked with specific fish... but is there a good website with a extensive list of fish compatibilities?

So I ended up buying a 20 gallon tank the other day and haven't really had time to set it up with finals coming up. when we were initally looking for a tank for me, my dad sort of fell in love with that Eclipse 12 system (the one everyone recommended not to get). He decided it was "the perfect...

hey how's it going. two weeks ago i decided to start up an aquarium. i've done some reading and im considering using the eclipse system 12 by marineland. is this a good selection? also im thinking about keeping some neon tetras and a silver hatchet fish. i read these two species were...
