Hmmmm, I bought some small plecos one got in the filter and munched... I know many breeders use sponge filters when small fish are present. So if you could educate me on how they work and suggest some brands, that would be great. FYI this would be going in a 10 Gallon tank. Thanks a ton...

I know it is optimal to have as little as possible of nitrates in the tank water. However, I was curious what is acceptable, and at what level does it cause harm. Also what harm does it cause to the fish.

Here it is!

So I went to the LFS, a privately run one that far and above exceeds the chain stores in quality, variety, and knowledge. Back to the point, I asked for some ehiem filter media they handed me a 2L box. I said can I get two of these so they grab me another and I begin to keep looking about the...

So I got this piece of driftwood cleaned alot of the bark off, saw'ed it down to fit inside the tank, and left it until I get the rest of the stuff for the tank. So I checked it out today to find it had mildew on one side of it that had a majority of the left over moisture, what is the deal...

This webpage that Purrbox suggested, states to use "dechlor" after bleaching dips and after potassium dips. However, negates to state whether to use dechlor for aluminum dips or not. Can I get a more specific answer. (Gonna go to ace sometime soon figured I can pick up both my ammonia and...

Has anyone ever traded breeding pairs with another person on these boards?

What medications, foods, minerals promote the best fin growth. One of the older fish in my tank, has some beat up fins.

So I just got done looking at that website, after reading one of the post regarding fish food. Looks like some awesome stuff. So my question is if I want to supplement some jack dempseys, with something they'll love more flak and pellets. Should I go with some of Ken's stuff and what? Also...

In the past I've had fish that like to uproot plants, etc. Do you think combating this by anchoring things with say metal washers/zipper tie, and a deeper gravel bed, work?

Hello all, Got some more questions on lighting. I can't find retrofit lights for the freshwater coralife 48". They make these for the salt water version with the Two 65 watt 10,000K and two 65 watt True Actinic 03 Blue retrofitted, but not the freshwater one with the 6,700k x 4. Oh yeah the...

When I called about tank prices I explained I was thinking about getting a Eheim can filter. He agreed they were probally the best can filters around, but suggested going with 2 Emperor 400's. He continued to tell me that they are easier to maintain and would probally move more water. Another...

If I was going to light a freshwater tank for plants using power compact lights with 4 bulbs x 65 watts. Which brand/manufacturer is making the best product?

Here is why I'm in debate over the two eheims. The Eheim Pro 2 2180 includes a heater... which would help alot because without a sump... my tank isn't set up to have one in the tank. However, it only moves around 300 gph. Second the 2260 (which moves more water around 600 ) looks to have way...
