5 serpae tetras 2 lemon tetras 7 neons 5 cory cats I tried a dwarf gourami, but it died. :( Not sure why, it didn't seem sick and everyone else is thriving. I would like something that swims closer to the top, but it has to be something that the Serpae tetras will leave alone. I do a 50% PWC...

I hear you on not wanting to pass them up. I fell madly in love with the little bolivian ram at work. Well on Monday I came in to him no longer having a tail. There are not really any fish in the tank that would do that, and it looked to me like he got caught on something and it was ripped off...

Awwwwwww, how cute!! I have a labbie that thinks everyone was put on this earth to love her and play with her too! :) What color is yours? Mine is chocolate, soon to be 4 and the best, most beautiful girlie in the world!!!!!!

With all the pet food recalls, and all of the recent "mysterious fish deaths", I wonder if some of that melamine stuff hasn't worked it's way into the fish food industry as well?????

Sorry to hear about your loss. Certain ones can really worm their way into your heart. :(

Ok, that made me laugh out loud!! Poor fishies!

Can I just turn up the air pressure on the bubbler?

I just was wondering if all of these fish can handle the heat method, yes, I realize this is quite a mix! LOL I just took it over about a month ago. Pleco, platies, lemon tetras, bolivian ram, penguin tetra, emerald cories, endlers guppies, serpae tetra, neons and one other unidentified tetra.

Ok, here is where we are at now. 1 pleco 4-5 inches 2 penguin tetras - one of which I think may be preggers 1 bolivian ram 4 tetras??? I think 3 serpae and one other 8 bazillion endlers guppies Got rid of: 1 pleco 4 bala sharks 1 redtailed shark Added :( couldn't help it 5 emerald corycats...

I am sure this has been done a million times before on here, but I haven't searched through the threads. What is your favorite fish?? Mine has to be the corycat!!! I had 2 albino's that I fell in love with and added 3 emerald cories today. OMG, they make me laugh! The other fish are looking at...

Looks like a pleco of some sort to me... but I am totally new to this whole fish thing! LOL

Ok, so the aquarium at work is a shambles. I never really looked at it before because I couldn't stand the person who took care of it. She quit and OMG the poor fish! #1 - it was FILTHY. #2 - it is severely overstocked. It is a 29 gallon tank. Here is a partial list of the fish in there, I...

Ok, some of these guys are pretty darn cute. I have fallen absolutely IN LOVE with my albino cories. I suppose there isn't a pleco that is small enough for a 20 gallon??? I could never get one and then take him in for adoption when he got too big. I would get too attached.

I never have peas, but do you think these would be ok to give to the fish? Or would they even like them? They are actually soybeans. I enjoy them, but that doesn't mean the fish will LOL

:cry: RIP Tonto. I know that isn't a very girlie name but it fit her. She was a silver Molly. She started to look better yesterday, but when I got home today, she was swimming in a total "S" shape and her gills looked dark. She was also gasping and I couldn't take it anymore. I didn't want her...

It is my tap water. That comes out to right around 8. I bought the driftwood in hopes of naturally lowering the PH. I don't want to use a ton of chemicals if I can help it.

Tank 20 gal. 4 mollies, 4 platy, 2 cory. Ammonia 0, Nitrite 0, Nitrate approx 20, ph 8.2 - 8.4 New things in tank - driftwood that had been soaking in pet store, and I boiled it for about 2 hours before putting it in on Sat. No new fish Ok, one of my mollies is swimming around like she has a...

Well, my water hasn't seemed as clear the past couple days. I thought it may be that? I may just add some of that fiberfill stuff then to see if that clears things up? Oh, and I have used tank water to rinse it. Thanks

I have tried rinsing it. Done that a few times at water changes, but it isn't cutting it. I thought they recommend changing out the biobag monthly? There is a filter pad in front of the biobag. Can I just leave that in and change the biobag?

Ok, I really need to change out my filter. I keep reading about how it can restart your cycle blah, blah, blah. I have a whisper 20 filter with the biobag and another filter in front of that. Can I change out the whole biobag in one shot?

JBarr, I think pretty much any lake, stream, or river in MN that you go to will have minnows in it. I don't think the person that started this thread is from here though?

Not trying to be rude or anything, but I don't think the author of this thread wants feedback. Only wants to tell how he is doing things right or wrong???

I think so?? Plus any you have in your freezer unless they are store bought.

I was reading that in certain states such as mine - Minnesota, that having native fish in an aquarium count towards your legal limit for fishing? I have always thought it would be cool to have an aquarium full of crappies and sunnies.

It is a 20 gal. tank. I don't have the $ right now for a QT tank. :( Just got a nice $800 bill from the doc, that insurance won't be covering. She is eating fine, swimming fine and acting like everything is perfectly normal. I put some salt in the water and have turned the heat up just a tad...
