My mom has an Angelicus Botia that is doing alot of flashing and rubbing. Tank is a 12 gallon Eclipse, fully cycled. Water perims are stellar, PH-7.6, Ammo-, Nitrites-0, Nitrates-10, temp is 78*. Tank mates are a few Tetras. She' been dosed with a Quick Cure 4 times (every 48 hrs) and then was...

I have been searching on here but can't find a thread that someone had dosed their tank with Maracyn to get rid of BGA. I have a tropical that has a pretty bad case of it and I want to get rid of it. I've done Flourish and black-outs but it keeps coming back. I want to get rid of it for good and...

I was doing a water change on my Goldfish tank and I noticed squiggly track marks on the glass where the water levels had dropped. I went over and there are these tiny little hard things on the glass, much smaller than a grain of sand, that are dome shaped. I can use my fingernail to squish them...

Got a new digiSLR and have been playing with it. This first shot is not too clear but I am telling you, this little Celestial Goldfish is not even 2" long. You try to get him to sit still long enough to use Macro...lol. "I see dead people." "Ever get the feeling you're being watched?" Tail...

Quick question. 92 gallon tank 3 fat fancy goldfish Fluval 404 filtration Water perims are: PH 7.8 Am 0 No 1 0 No2 40+ (really hard to tell after 20+ but looks like it's in the 40 ppm range) Performing 25%-40% water changes every 4 or 5 days and the No2's are this high...

I can't begin to tell you the algae trouble I was having with my 46 gl bow front. Hair algae and dark green EVERYWHERE. I am getting some late day sun on the top of the tank... So, I broke down and reluctantly bought three Oto's. All I can say at this point is WOW!!!!I should have bought these...

I lost my Balloon Rams a couple weeks ago and want to replace them with Guoramis...if I can. 46 gallon bowfront HOB filter stellar water perimeters lightly planted 78* 3 Marble Hatchets 2 Yo-Yos 2 Panda Cories 6 Danios 5 Cardinals I am considering a couple of Neons or Dwarf. I know the...

I have: 46 gallon bow front Lightly planted no CO2 80* temp 3 hatchets 2 cories 2 yo-yos 5 cardinals 2 mini tetras (white tip I think) I also have a nice growth of thread algae...or perhaps hair algae that is concentrated on the plants. There is a little bit on the out take of my bio-wheel but...

I have a Bubble Eye with what I assume is a fungul infection. He has multiplying, free-floating, white specs in his left eye sac and the tiniest white fuzzy spot on outside. I got him through a mail order almost a month ago so perhaps he bumped it somehow or injured himself. Thankfully he is...

The Hubs and I went to check out the lfs and we found a cool fish called a Farlowella. It was tempting us by hanging on the front glass...very cool fish. Anyway, I came home and after doing some research, I am getting alot of differing recommendations. Varying PH levels, water hardness, and even...

So, after keeping fake plants with my Golds, my Tropical tank with light planting has Diatoms. Great...welcome to the club. I am thinking that I should cut back on the lighting as I am leaving it on 12-14 hours a day (low level of light btw), using Flourish Excel 2-3x a week and I have 3...

Is this fish dyed? http://seattle.craigslist.org/see/pet/280689910.html

I went to get more Cory's at my lfs and they have a couple of these guys. I have had my eye on them for a month or so now. Very neat fish. Does anyone have any experience keeping them? Here's a link: http://www.loaches.com/species-index/sinogastromyzon-wui

Well, the Hubs came home with some fish tonight and I think we are over stocked. We have a lightly planted 46 gallon bowfront with a HOB Emperor. We have: 3 Marble Hatchets 2 Balloon Rams 5 Cardinals 4 White Tip tetras 2 TINY Panda Corys ( I have never seen such small Corys) 6 long fin Danios...

Okay, I moved the kids to the new pool yesterday morning. They were in a 35 hex and are now the proud owners of a 46 bow front. Since moving them in I noticed my Rams have separated. "She" has staked out the left side of the tank and is chasing everybody out. "He" has taken the right side and is...

I found this interesting and thought I'd put this up here to see what you all, the plant experts thought. I bought some plants from a guy (cheap so if I kill them I am not out much dough) who had four planted tanks in his house. Since I am in the "jumping in without really knowing what I am...

The scratches are on the outside of the galss and are not bad but still a pain to look at. The tank was used in a trade show, so while new to us, it's used. We didn't see them last night and I looked pretty hard. Is there any type of glass cleaner with something in it that will minimize the...

Okay...MTS is official now!!! I went to get better lighting for my old 35 Hex and BAM! Came home with a 46 bowfront instead. Here is the catch though. I have all the equipment on the 35 hex. How do I cycle the 46 bow? I can't pull the filter can I? I figured I could at least move the substrate...

Okay, I am very new to tropicals so bear with me. I have noticed that at times the Rams are very bright and their black is very dark. Then at other times they are much paler looking. Is this a prey response? A fight or flight thing? Also, I have several types of food for my fish. Tretramin...

I have not been a big fan of tropicals (love my goldies) but these guys are really neat!

I am trying to cheaply upgrade my lighting. PM if you have anything sitting around waiting to be used.

I am wanting to go as cheaply as I can for better lighting...the Hubs is puttin' the skids on spending. I found this retro fit ballast on E-Bay, will this work: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=002&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&viewitem=&item=120069449939&rd=1&rd=1 I have some...

These guys are really nice looking fish. Cute and round, alot like my goldfish...sort of. I wonder how long this hybrid's been around...or if it's even a hybrid? I hear there are alot of different types of these guys... Sorry about the fuzzy pictures...the new Digital SLR is on it's way so...

I bought some plants from a guy off Craigslist...yay! Anyway, he has a breeder tank for Cherry Shrimp and how cute are they. I have Cardinals and Danios in the tank already but plan to add some Panda Corys and eventually a couple of Rams. Would the Corys bother the shrimp or vice versa? Also...

I have an extension on my filtration's intake. It been extended and sits about 2"-3" above the substrate. I can remove on piece and it will reach almost halfway down. Should I leav it as it is or shorten it? Thanks in advance
