Hello. For some reason I have recently started to notice the male platys constantly tailing the female platys. My ratios are off (more males than females) because some had kids and most were male. I feel very sad for these girls but I don't really know what to do. Also, all the males in my...

So, I will have to make this quick because I gotta get to my night class. A week ago I bought SAE and Red Cherry Shrimp fro azgardens.com The shrimp came in a little bag with these light colored crazy little bug things. They're about 2 1/2 mm long and have legs. Their forms most looks like...

MAN! I just lost my message I typed I will make this one short cause I'm stressing out. 30 G - Tetras, Danios, Cory and one CAE. Planted w/ algae "prblems" 10G - Livebearers, Cory. Lightly Planted with algae "problems". Ordered 9 SAE and variations of shrimp from azgardens.com. They seemed...

The longer my tank lives the more hair and beard algae slowly creeps up on me. I have read a lot of info about algae and algae eaters. I did have some Oto in my tank but I set up a tank at my boyfriends house and he had a diatom outbreak so I sent the Otos there to eat it all up. NOW I have a...

Hey. I am tired of buying standard flourescent housing units.... I have a 20L with currently no live plants or anything special. I intend to put, at most, two 24 in T-8 bulbs, using my ballast and crap. I make wood canopies.... and on my saltwater I spent 30 bucks to buy a "reflector" .. but...

Hey, I own two freshwater tanks and would like to try to make my empty 50G a saltwater. There are so many kinds of filters I see on the market. Do you all recommend a wet/dry filter or canister for marine (no reef) tank? I have experience with both. Also... and what I am really more...

I was thinking about getting the Python (http://www.petsmart.com/products/product_730.shtml) but I was wondering how it filters out the chlourine in your water? I feel like I am missing something very basic here. Someone clue me in!! Anne :roll:

I don't like the way most manufactured hoods look so I decided to take it upon my incompetent self to make a hood. I was wondering though... in my layer of acrylic or glass between the tank water and my lights - Will it let the spectrum of my flourescent pass through? This came to my mind when...

Helllllo. :o I am THINKING I am going to start a SW tank. I say... THINKING. I know a bit about FW planted tanks but the buck stops there. I have an empty 50 G w/ a skimmer. I don't even know if the thing works.. I just know I have something that looks like one. Anyway, with my tank...

I have come here to post a question as a last resort after reading other posts. It's about my baby 10 Gallon (details in profile). About 4 weeks ago my tank started developing some brown gunk on the decor. I thought it would clear like it did in my 30G. However, instead of clearing the water...

Hey everyone reading! About a month ago I bought a used 55 G Aquarium w/ custom canopy at a yard sale. The owner said it was a reef aquarium which was why there was 4 flourescent bulbs. I took it all home and noticed the bulbs were connected to little end sockets which were connected to...

Help! I woke up and turned on the light this working and all the Danios were going nuts! It looks like a game of massive chase. At first I thought it was all one fish picking on everybody... one Leopard Danio - then I realized his Zebra counterparts were also being insane. Sometimes when they...

I just set up a 30 Gallon someone else had about 2 days ago. I don't know the fish very well but I was looking today and my 3 Bleeding Heart Tetras may have something brown on them. I can't remember if it's part of the fish or not!! All 3 of them have it, in variation, on both sides. I...

I have a new 10 gallon. I am new at this fish thing, enirely. I have read posts up and down on aq advice and there always seems to be exceptions. My tank ran w/out fish for about 2 weeks. I didn't do anything special but add a new shrimp in. I never saw the Ammonia or Nitrite change...
