I have a 20 gallon long with three loaches in it. The goldfish is now gone (gave him to someone with a pond) so I'm wondering what else I could put in the tank. The only things I can think of are more loaches, and some cloud mountain minnows. Any suggestions? Give me some thoughts. I'm kind of...

I just moved to a new house and when its cold outside it gets horribly cold in my house. Sucks for me, but it works for coldwater fish which is what I have. However, my tank which at the moment only houses 3 dojo loaches (soon to be more like 6 loaches plus some cloud mountain minnows maybe) and...

I recently got a penguin bio wheel 200 hob filter from a friend who's tank got smashed (yeah..yikes) so he decided to give me his filters and other supplies after throwing his tank in the garbage. Unfortunately today when I tested out the penguin bio wheel 200 it didn't seem to be working. It...

In the last few months I've downgraded my fish collection to 5 fish who I really enjoy and plan to have for the duration of their lives. This includes three dojo loaches, a beautiful sarasa comet, and a bristle nose pleco. I know the bristlenose doesn't really fit with these coldwater fish, but...

I have a yellow labidochromis and yesterday I noticed she has a lump in her throat. She hasn't been eating I don't think, but she does chase the food a little bit. What could this be from? A disease? The other fish in the tank include 4 brevis and one acei cichlid. Actually, I'm not sure that my...

So my tank has around 25 shells of varying sizes spread out all over the sand substrate, and there is also a small wood log, and a rock cave. I'm wondering how you guys clean your tanks and get rid of poop, excess food etc. Do you take apart rocks caves and lift up shells to vacuum underneath...

Ok so I just got paid yesterday and I was all excited to go get my L. brevis from this really popular fish store in Denver. They have amazing selection and great quarantine tanks etc, but I was warned that the customer service isn't amazing. Indeed that turned out to be the truth. They had this...

I have a lot of little, medium and large MTS. Give me an offer if you want some.

I'm trying to decide whether I want to get 4-6 L. brevis for my 25 gallon or a small group of J. transcriptus. Can someone help me decide? lol

would it be a bad idea in any way to put an Emperor 280 (for up to 50 gallons apparently) on a 20 gallon long?

Ok, so I have a 20 gallon long tank with a sarasa comet and 3 dojo loaches. In the back corner is an aquaclear mini and in the front corner is a small powerhead blowing water across the glass front of the tank. I have two questions. First, this tank is obviously way under filtered. The poop...

So I got a dojo loach at Petco and when I got him home I realized he had a whitish / pinkish spot on his face. I have been treating him with pimafix and melafix for a little over a week and the spot is still there and has gotten worse. Now there appears to be some kind of growth extending off of...

I have a 25 gallon tank with a bristlenose in it and soon there will be 4-6 N.brevis. Right now I have a Hydor prime 10 canister filter and an aquaclear mini. I'd like to replace both filters with one big HOB. Any suggestions for a filter that would keep the water really clean and wouldn't...

I thought it would be interesting to see if this happens to all of us, some of us, or just me. Ever since I was a pre-teen I have kept pets in tanks. I'm talking about rodents mostly, and only in the last few years have I switched to fish. My twin sister also had rodents growing up, and we both...

I have two golden dojo loaches and a goldfish in a tank. The golden dojos are a male and a smaller female. I recently bought a natural colored dojo loach that looks like an adult female (but could be a male) and I'm wondering if there could be any problem having them all in the same tank. Will...

Do the Tanganyikan shellies protect their babies or will they probably eat them? I'm probably going to get 2 or 3 pairs of brevis and I assume they'll have some babies. I wanna know if I should be prepared to move them to a seperate tank.

I got a new dojo loach and he has a scrape / sore on the end of his nose like he's been rubbing against the glass a lot. I put him in his own temporary 10 gallon tank. What can I add to the water or what in general should I do to nurse him back to health and prepare him to be in the 20 gllon...

So here's my filter situation: I have an HOB on my 20 gallon long that is meant for a 10-20 gallons and soon I'm going to put another HOB of the same size on there. I also have a Hydor prime 10 canister on my 25 gallon and the other HOB is currently on there. I'd like to sell my canister cuz...

So, I have two golden dojo loaches and a gf in a 20 gallon long, and I've been wanting to put a natural colored dojo loach inside. Well I was at Petco today and finally I found some natural colored ones, so I bought one and brought it home. Only once I got home did I discover that it has a...

Hi guys, anyone ever keep one of these fish? or know anything about keeping them? I read that they can be kept with Neolamprologus brevis, but who knows, right? I have a 25 gallon tank and may switch to a 29 gallon long and if I can have both species of fish in there that would be pretty...

I have a 20 gallon long tank with sand substrate and two golden dojo loaches in it. I love how simple the tank looks and its awesome to watch the loaches swim together in the current from the power head. I'm wondering what people would suggest I put in the tank with them. Originally I was just...

I've read that knight gobies prefer brackish water, but I've also read that they do best in freshwater. Does anyone have experience with them? I think they look so cool and would love to have one, but he would have to go in the same tank as the shell dwelling cichlids and I don't think they...

So, hypothetically, what if I wanted to break down my 25 gallon tank and put everything from it into a 29gallon tank? I would switch the filters over to the *new* 29 gallon tank and then also take all the sand out of the 25 gallon tank and put that in the 29 gallon tank. How long would I have to...

Ok, 25 gallon tank with sand substrate. I'm planning to buy tons of shells and get maybe 6 or so sehll dwellers. The only ones I can find in my area are brevis. I would love to put a knight goby in the tank as well. I would also have a bristlenose in the tank. Is this all ok? I know the knight...

So I posted a couple days ago saying that after about a 1.5 years of having fish I think I'm ready for cichlids. I had a 25 gallon tank that was overstocked with 4 corys, 8 mollies, a betta and a bristlenose. Now that tank has 4 corys, 4 mollies, a bristlenose and a betta. I'm in the process of...
