I lost some fish to ich recently :( Right now my current stocking is: 1 Black Ghost Knife 1 Pictus Cat 2 Bleeding Heart Tetras 10 Hatchetfish 1 L199 Pleco 1 Angelfish 2 Peppered Cories I would like to add a couple more pictus cats as well as a couple of SA cichlids that will get between 6-8...

3 inches and he is a year and half? You must mean he is only a month and a half old... Mine has grown almost 3 inches in a couple of months... I wouldn't worry to much about the neons as long as the BGK is well fed... a couple might get munched on though. Nik

Should I quarantine him to treat him? It definitely looks cotton like... so it is a fungus. Should I put him in another tank or just dose the 75 gallon? My stocking: 1 BGK 2 Pictus Cats 4 Corys 10 Hatchets 8 Bleeding Heart Tetras 1 L199 Pleco 1 Angel

When I got my two pictus cats, one got caught in the net. I had to cut around the net to get him out and he had a small piece of net on his left spike that I couldn't get off. Now, its been about a week and its starting to get like this foam look around both of his spikes. He is swimming around...

I just did a water change so I can't really test anything and it be real accurate... I normally just check ammonia/nitrite... which have always been at 0. I leave the lights on 10 hours, which is on a timer... gonna try cutting it down to 8. The 75 gallon is lightly planted with green cambomba...

The hair algae has gotten so bad in both my 10 gallon and 75 gallon that it is literally floating in the water. I'm trying to do a black out now to see if it goes away... but how do I keep it from coming back? Nik

Good to hear... mine tank is a 75 gallon... think I might pick up a couple. Nik

Will they go well with each other? Nik

I keep my ghost with corys, bleeding heart tetras, hatchetfish, angels, and a pleco. The only fish I have problems with is the angel but I think the tetras are getting them. BGKs natural prey in the wild is insect larvae. As long as your tank is big enough that he has his own territory, you...

Heres my stocking: 1 BGK 1 L199 Pleco (won't get more than 4") 5 Peppered Corys 8 Bleeding Heart Tetras 10 Silver Hatchets 1 Angelfish Problems: None except the angelfish who seems to be getting picked on at night. I never see any problems during the day but every morning he has a few more of...

Sounds like no fish meets my demands... oh well... Nik

Those armored cats are a little ugly.... I'll look for them in the lfs to see what they look like. My pleco is slowly starting to come out of hiding... so maybe I won't need something more active for the bottom. Nik

I always thought 'armored catfish' were plecos and I have one... Nik

I want to get a few pieces that are actual wood that looks like the bottom of a tree with all the roots and things. I've seen them in pictures in peoples aquariums here and I'd like to get a few pieces for mine... Nik

Anyone have experience with pictus catfish? Nik

I would like a single bottom dwelling catfish that will get between 4-8" without turning anything in my tank into a meal and that won't hide all day. My corys don't really hide, there is just a patch of amazon swords that they only leave a few times a day to feed and Scooter, my pleco, stays...

1 AFB 8 Rainbowfish 8 Corys 4 Ottos That would be more like it for a 40 gallon stocking list, imo. Nik

Well the the next of the last angel died while I was at work. The lone angel is swimming around like he rules the world. The tank has been setup for a month now, has been fully cycled the whole time (except an ammonia or nitrite spike when I added new schools for a day or two) and other than the...

They all eat just fine. One angel, right before he died, I noticed a red spot on his eye, kinda looked like internal bleeding. Nik

The tank is a 75 gallon. I don't want them to breed, I was just hoping to have two nice angels as my centerpiece. The angels I bought are no more than 2 inches. The ones from the LFS are bred locally... I'm sure the petsmart ones are not. I just don't see this being an acclimation problem when...

I got 3 Angelfish from Petsmart. The next day, two died. Water Params were fine... 0 ammonia, 0 nitrite, 5 nitrate. So I get 5 more from the LFS. Each day, one has died. Now I'm down to the 1 from Petsmart and 1 from my LFS. I've came to the conclusion that it has to be the 1 from petsmart...

I was considering getting an automatic feeder... but I don't want it to over feed my fish. How much food does it put in the tank and will it be enough/not enough for my fish? Nik

I hadn't planned on putting another biochem zorb pack in when it was time to change it... I just wanted the white filter floss plus the black filter... I'll also get some bioballs. Thanks for the info guys! Nik

What are bioballs?

In my bottom tray, I have the used filter media I used to seed my tank. The second tray has the black foam pads and the third tray has a white foam pad and the biochem zorb. What does this biochem zorb bag do? And what other media should I have in my XP3? Nik
