Ok, decided today that the cichlids had to go. Took them to my lfs, sold them and picked up an albino bn plec, and another angel fish. I built the caves with some nice rock and driftwood...will try to get some pics soon

Ok, so I went to clean the tank today, and noticed what appears to be eggs on my driftwood. I assume they are cichlids, since there are 2 cichlids defending the site. The tank is a 55 gallon tank, minimal decor, aerated by 2 pumps rated for 80 gallon tanks total. I have no clue about much else...

So, I am a member from a while back, disappeared and came back. Well, I disappeared again, only it was not my fault this time. To make a long story short, I was hit by a car, pinning me between the car and my work truck. I lost my left leg just below the knee, and my right leg just above. I am...

I know it's been a while since I've been on, some things happened, and had to sell my big tank. I am in the process of getting a 55 gallon tank, friend is giving me a complete setup for free. The tank is currently home to Cichlids, but I will not be keeping it a cichlid tank. What will need to...

This is a heck of a deal, the tank alone is worth 200. It needs to go. Asking 250 for it Ok, we are selling our 55 gallon tank, and everything with it. This includes: the tank (All Glass 55 gallon tank), the hoods/lights (all glass with hoods with fluorescent tube lights), 1 Aquaclear 30 HOB...

We own a 55 gallon all glass tank, with hood/lights, stand, 3 filters (2 hob and 1 canister), the tank will be stocked. What I am wondering is mainly, how much would be a good starting point to sell this setup for? The filters are: 1 Aqua Clear 30 and 1 50, and a Rena XP2. The hood/lights are...

Hey folks, we have a 29 gallon tank for sale, was up and running for about 2 years. The tank comes with a hood/light, stealth heater 50 watts I believe, and a Rena HOB filter with 3 media ports. I do not have a stand for this tank, as it fit nicely on a desk we have. The tank has no leaks, the...

Hey all, I know it's been a while, thought I would stop in and say hey, and let everyone know how the tanks are doing. We took the 29 gallon down, moved everyone into the 55. We have 2 needlenose fish, our spotted sailfin pleco, a peacock eel, a dragon goby, and a panaque maccus clown pleco...

So, it's been a while since I've posted, and quite a bit has happened. We have since lost all but one of our plecos, the survivng one being our spotted sailfin. We have had a few sets of fry from our guppies and mollies, unfortunately, none of the mollies survived. The mollies and guppies were...

Hey all, I have 3 tanks setup at the moment, and 2 out of the 3 have a snail outbreak. The 29 have at least 50 trumpet snails, and the 55 has an unknown number. We are trying to figure out a way to control them, or rid the tanks of them all together. I have researched loaches that would eat...

Well, the time has come, the 55 is becoming too small. I have been researching bigger aquariums, but am at a loss of what size to go with. We are looking to upgrade due to some of our fish growing to a large size, those being our pleco's. I have decided at this time to go with either a 75 or 90...

how can i tell the sex and if my rainbow shark is prego?

What all needs to be swapped out, we have new gravel, and salt. What all do I need to change out, replace, or whatever? We are wanting to house a green spot puffer in their temporarily, until we can get the 29 gallon setup for him. what test kit do I need to test perameters, salt or freshwater...

We picked up a BGK a few days ago, about 4 inches or so long. We got him acclimated, and he seems to be doing fine. My main question, should he be hiding all the time? Mine hides inside one of my bubble makers, it's a dragon, and he has made himself a home inside it since it had been turned off...

I feed my fish veggies, typically every nite, typically for my plecos. Has anyone left their veggies in longer than 24 hours, specifically cucumber? Ours got left in the tank again last nite, though the fish didnt seem to mind, as one of my plecs is chowing down on it now, and the other is...

We have a 3 gallon eclipse, used primarily as a fry/breeding tank. Currently it is home to our 2 female platies, and a otto cat. I've been seeing a lot of whit bubbles forming around the filter return, and it has my interest. I have not done a recent water test, but at the last test, all...

A while back, I noticed some really cool looking fish, only to learn about the horrible way they came about. Luckily I didnt buy any painted glass fish, until research was done, and I still didnt buy them. So, now I see these Glofish, and I wonder how they came about. They are really pretty...

Are these a good idea, or bad? I am wanting to add some variety to my fishes diets, as I know some prefer some meat here and there. Would this work, or are there better ideas? What are some good alternatives to flake, other than veggies, as my plecos tend to dominate them... Thanks in advance...

We recently purchased 2 rainbow sharks to reside in our semi aggressive tank, and they seem to be doing well. My only concern is that I rarely seem them eating, do they prefer something other than flake food? Maybe night time feeding? Any help will be greatly appreciated, Thanks in advance, Bear

Ok, so we had a cold front come through last nite, with some strong winds. Well, needless to say, the power went out at 4:30ish in the morning. That was no big deal, turned off the power strips so the filters would not come back on without my knowledge. Morning comes, still no power, leave the...

We aquired a mango pleco a couple weeks ago, and he is slowly adjusting to his new home. We had him in the 55 gallon, but my common was bullying him off the food, so we put him in the 29 for now, he is about 2 inches in length. Once he gets bigger, and starts fighting back, he will go back into...

I have just finished cutting the potter cave to the form I want, and am soaking in water, what all do I need to do to get it ready to go into the tank? I want to make sure there are no dangerous things on them, and that they are perfect for the tank. Any advice will be great, Thanks in advance...

I am turning the 29 gallon tank into a semi aggressive tank, currently it houses 3 Giant Danios, with plans to add others. I have a few questions in regards to this tank, first of all, will my L047 pleco be ok in that tank for a while? I know it's small, but he is small too, and I'm tired of my...

Hey all, we just finished our tank lid, and have a 2 foot by 2 foot section left over. I was wanting to build something with this, but I am not sure what. We have a 55 gallon tank, with 3 pleco's in it, and I was thinking about making a tunnel for them. The only problem there is, I have no way...

Ok, we've had our 55 running for a few months now, and recently finished our temp tank lid. Once that was done, we added some lighting to the tank, and I want to make sure I am not over lighting the tank...if that is possible... The light is a twin bulb 48 inch shop light fixture, it is sitting...
