    Peacock Gudeons

    Could a 9 gallon fluval flex support 2 peacock gudeons? It would be planted and I do weekly water changes. They are both full grown I've had them for a while now, one is bigger then the other but is only 2 inches max and the other around an inch and a half. The dimensions of the fluval flex are...

    Betta Warning

    Just a warning to all betta owners out there, I know bettas have a warning that they may jump but you've never seen it or if you have it's very rare. Because of this you think you may not need a lid for it's tank, however let me assure you, you need one. I have a 5g tank that has a glass lid and...

    Messed up dirt tank

    So I decided to do a dirted tank that is a 20 long. It was completely emptied so I added my dirt, and added some water, let that sit for a week or so and I have a decent amount maybe 1.5 inches on the bottom. Then I completely filled it and started an old worn filter (Just in case the dirt were...

    Can't get them to eat

    So I recently got 3 peacock gudeons that will inhabit a 20 gallon long soon, but I've been having trouble getting them to eat. I have tried flakes, pellets, wafers, freeze dried blood worms and freeze dried shrimp. I don't know if they're eating them without me seeing them but I haven't observed...

I'm...

    Question about cycle

    Setup a new 10g that'll be a RCS breeding project, put the filter cartridge that came w it in another filter so it would grow BB. Let that sit there for 2 days (this isn't my tank it's my dads and him and my mom are impatient with it ?) and put it into the 10. I tested the water 2 hours after...

    Fluval Flex setup

    Santa brought me a Fluval Flex 9 this year so I thought I'd make a thread of everything I do with it and take pictures to watch it's progression! Yesterday I made a stand for it that fits perfectly since I didn't have one for it but it won't let me upload a picture of it :/ Going out today to...

    Super aggressive angelfish?

    My 36g tank had 20~ danios and 2 angels with 2 algae eaters, took danios and algae eaters out, left just the angels for probably 7~ days, added 4 corys. Few days later the angels kill one and damage another, I took them out. I've had them for about 4 months now and they got bigger and they have...

    Cichlid water current

I have a seapora circulation pump that's like 1100 gph and I was wondering if Cichlids would like that in a smaller tank, I have it on it right now because it currently has some danios/tetras/platys as they get moved around. I got...

    Euthanizing

    So for anyone who saw my last post about my sick betta unfortunately he got worse and I euthanized him to end his misery. I've looked around before and I cannot find anything about how I euthanize. I freeze a cup of water to where it's not solid of course but very cold then I net the fish out of...

According to AqAdvisor I'm at 86% stocking. Not sure what filter I'll end up running it has an older...

    Want to get into saltwater.

    So I've thought about getting into saltwater now! I'd like to start with a nano (probably a 10g) and work from there. Preferably a reef setup :) so I know they need lots of flow so I was thinking a marineland penguin 350 would be good, a sun grow heater, and then a reef light from Amazon...

    Alright so. 1 of my 3 angels in my 36g died recently. Stopped eating and started gasping for air. Dead within 24 hours.

    Angelfish?

    So since yesterday one of my 3 angel fish has been acting weird. All of yesterday it was just opening and closing it's mouth around the tank and hovering at the top. For a while it just stared into a corner near one of the filters. Everyone else is acting fine, did a 40% wc just to try to help...
