I like that, I may have to try that after I get my frame fixed. One suggestion though, If you take another piece of that acrylic and make it twice as high with a smaller radius and place in on the inside of one of the other pieces, then after you added the substrate you will have a cascading...

Yeah 100 degrees would do it. If it's any consolation, it is actually more likely they died of Oxygen deprivation long before the tank got that hot, which is probably less painful than being boiled alive. Sorry you had so much trouble, the Visitherms are usually pretty reliable. I don't know...

In my experience, Albino and Peppered are closer to 2" and Emerald & Green are 3". I was aware that they weren't really considered cories but I guess I always have considered them to be anyway.

Yeah, I really don't recommends Breeders because they end up costing you a lot in tank stands. Long tanks are usually longer than the standard but made to fit the next size or two up in length. Even small breeder tanks need huge stands. For example, a 33 Long or 40 Long fits on typical 55...

Yes, slate does not effect hardness which is why it is so popular in the aquarium trade. There are many types that will not effect the water but they can be tricky to tell apart. Depending on the fish, you may WANT to alter the water. This is where Texas Holey Rock and other such rocks help...

Yep, Dwarf cories are about an inch smaller. Cory Examples Green Cory Emerald Cory Bronze Cory Dwarf Cory Examples Albino Cory Peppered Cory Panda Cory

Be careful how you use the letter "L" we have people from all over the world here and 20 Liters is definitely not enough :silly: Heh, seriously. It depends on the species. I would think a 20 Long would be enough for the 2" cory varieties. For the larger varieties a 33 Long or 30 Breeder would...

Endlers should be cared for just like guppies. Guppies are very sturdy fish, a guppy is tolerant of about 65 - 86 degrees. Your danios and barbs are about the same. Cories are usually less tolerant than guppies, your tetras are about the same as cories. About 72 to 86 degrees. All of the fish...

He's a beauty.

Most insect larvae become quick snacks in a stocked tank. Should be nothing to worry about. Just for due diligence though, How often do you perform water changes? Do you know the parameters of your water? (Amonnia, Nitratites, Nitrates, PH, Temp) The tank is 10 gallons, how many fish and what...

No, medications shouldn't kill the bacteria but certain ones (usually containing copper) WILL kill scaleless fish or invertebrates. For medications, you remove the carbon because carbon will remove the medication which you don't want. If this is the stuff, then it appears to be nothing more...

If you look at my tank (link in signature) I have one terracing idea in that. This design doesn't last a whole long time I've found though. After about a year the glue starts losing cohesion and the round rocks start to slide. I eventually took mine out. If you can get a substantial...

Yeah, ironically the 20 gallon you gave away would have been about the right size for him. He looks like a Common Goldfish, as for the color, I disagree with Zagz. I have seen adults that color before. There is a picture of one here near the bottom. The one pictured is captioned as a...

Looks like a tumor to me as well. Zagz is looking for a typical reason for the problem, but I have another suggestion to put forward. You say he is 7 years old, the typical lifespan of a Cory is captivity is 5 to 10. As any living creature gets older, it's body grows weaker and susceptible to...

With a 20" base, the Eclipse 12 would be 1" too big but a standard 10 gallon or 15 High would work and give you more space than the 5 or 6 eclipse. Personally I recommend standard tanks to the kits anyway. It gives you more direct control. If height is a factor for the stand, then get another...

Corydoras. Peppered Cory (Corydoras paleatus) by the looks of him.

Those of you from the Freshwater forums (especially planted) may know me well, but after I fix my 55 gallon, I'm thinking about turning my 10 gallon into a sw tank. First, I was wondering if I could get some ideas of what to expect. Asside from the salt, what differences are there between...

I don't think we are talking about the same Little Brother, Tyler is a 2 hour drive away from Dallas and is just slightly smaller in population than Amarillo (about 80,000 difference). I.E. the little brother remark. You were probably thinking of Fort Worth/Arlington, but yeah they might as...

Aqueon sent me the part number for the frame, for the benefit of others who may be having this problem I am posting an edited version of my correspondence below. I knew this already but mis-worded my question. This kind of what I had in mind. Good to know if you need to find a...

Yeah the fish are doing fine, the water is back to crystal (or whats left of it) but my problem now is a bit more severe :shocked!: http://www.aquariumadvice.com/forums/f12/center-brace-cracked-100492.html

Howdy Tex! Welcome to AA! I have to say I prefer the big D's little brother. Big D has too much traffic.

I think you got the wrong thread Dark :D

Yeah, assuming your using a good canister filter. Water change once a week, filter cleaning once a month and as a last resort, Otos are fun to keep and will gorge themselves on diatoms.
