Hi all! Been really busy lately but wanted to update you all. We finished cycling our other 55gal tank and tonight we bought its first inhabitant - the BGK we've been coveting for months and months! He is GORGEOUS, and I'm already enchanted. ;) Can't wait to get some pix of him for you guys...

Can fish get cataracts? Last night, I noticed that our rather large (age known, but at least several years) tinfoil barb has "milky" looking eyes. One of our other fish, who is approximately the same age, also has this. No other 10 fish have this, but they are all younger. Any ideas what...

We found 3 Yoyo loaches at the LPS a few days ago and bought two of them. The third, who was in a separate tank, was "scratching" himself all over the gravel and plants, so I assumed he was coming down w/ ich and didn't buy him. Well, Ross just called from there and said the loach is still...

I have a 5 gal tank here cycling and ready to be a hospital tank - with just a slight problem. I can't find a hood or gladd top that fits! Does anyone here know where on earth I can find things to fit this tank? I've checked all the LFS and Ebay... I'm out of ideas. Help!

How does one go about getting posting privileges for the regional forums? Tried to post a reply in the North Florida forum, since I live in North/Central Florida, but couldn't get in. What do I gotta do? Sheila

Feeding my fish earlier this evening and I noticed that the top of the water in the 50gal was "filmy" looking... any ideas what's causing this?? Fish seem fine and my water tests are showing results in the range of normal for this tank, but it still worries me. I've never seen this before...

Ross & I are considering setting up our other 50gal tank (maybe these are 55gal??) and getting a black ghost knife to inhabit it. I would like to put some live plants in it as well as a couple of tankmates. Any suggestions? I would like to add some pakistani loaches, perhaps, or maybe some...

I've been looking for a small "stick on the glass" filter for my Betta tank for a couple of months now but no one around here carried them. Tonight while waiting for our movie to start, we checked the fish stuff aisle at Wal Mart and voila! There was the little filter I needed! I'll be...

Hi guys, We have two bettas, each in a 2gal aquarium w/ air stones and UGF (hate them but can't find the small filter set I need for these tanks). I do weekly partial water changes and gravel vaccuuming w/ both Bettas and they are both in the same room so water temp is normally only a couple...

Friends of ours moved recently and we inherited their 50g tank (no room at the new inn), complete w/ community of fish. Most of the fish are Barbs of some sort (incl. an enormous Tinfoil Barb and two gorgeous long-finned rosies along w/ their two grown fry - one long-finned and one normal), and...

What do you all suggest should be the "range" of tank sizes for these types of filters? In other words, would you say one should use a HOB filter for 5-29gal and a canister filter for anything more than that..? Or.....? We currently have a 20g but will be setting up the 50g soon and want to...
