I've been using Prime for years. It's always smelled terrible.

Sorry for your loss :( sadly, I've made the same mistake with a betta back when I was younger. It is important to make sure the water is within a few degrees of the other. 11 deg is a big hike and may have just been too hot for the fish depending on what the temp of the tank is kept at. I...

Those cute little apple snails do get to be softball sized just so you know. And they're pigs so you'll need to feed the snail quite a bit and from what I've read, veggies are a must. Sorry, no suggestions for tank mates. I was thinking maybe those dwarf frogs but I don't have any experience...

Ok, that's good to hear! The angel is larger than half dollar size so he's not full grown yet. He hasn't attempted to eat any of them and I'd say they're between 1"-1.5" long each. I wanted something with a little bright color in it (angel is marble so black & white, peppered cories, plecos...

Ok, so I wanted a small school of tetras in my tank. I have an angel fish so I did some research and could have sworn I read that it was ok to keep rummy nose tetras with them. So I bought 6 of them (1 croaked :( ). Doing more research I'm finding otherwise. Are my fishies doomed? They are...

There's a calculator on the web somewhere...check the planted tank forum for a link in a sticky. You test your ph and kh and somehow those calculate into a formula to give you a rough number. Oh, and this time around I decided to experiment a little and I only added 1.5 cups of sugar. I got...

Being new in TN I had to find a LFS that was worth my time. Here in Maryville we have Petsmart and Petland. Woop dee doo. Petsmart is ok for livestock. Prices are decent and if you can find healthy specimens they do fine. My peppered cories, oto and rubber lipped pleco came from them. My...

I've only been doing CO2 (DIY) for a week now, but the recipes didn't work for me from that website. I think it was due to me not activating the yeast before hand. Also, I think you're supposed to fill the bottle up with more water to the bend. The one that I found that worked is this: 1/2...

Ok so I'm amazed! My gurl decided that it would be ok for me to take her angel to a fish store and get a different fish (I'm thinking kribs are in my near future) to be "hers". So now I'm feeling better about this. I really don't want to have to spend any more money than I need to. I still...

Yeah...I think so, too. All I need is a tank with hood and the stand. I've got an extra filter running on the 26 and an extra heater and all that. Starts checking craigs list...

I don't know what they are, but I obtained a 75 gal from a lady with an Oscar and a whole bunch of other fish that shouldn't be housed with an Oscar, but I digress. Anywho, she didn't take the greatest of care of the tank and those things were everywhere in the gravel, in the water, on the...

I'm not sure if they are or not anymore...My marble angel is lunging (only way I know to describe) at my other angel. Bad sign? I've started considering getting a 29 gal to put one of them in and having another community. The marble is mine and I'm not parting with him. The other (white with...

Ok. That's good to know. I like the firemouth cichlids too, but with the chance of it being aggressive I scratched that one. I will probably try a ram maybe after I've had the tank for a year (the 55 gal). That way I'm familiar with my care routine and I'm sure that my bio filter is good to...

Thx! I will get one when I get my 55. I was originally going to go with rams, but due to the sensitivity I think I may stay away a while longer. I did the same with angels bc I was scared of killing them.

I wish I could find one nearby. I tried looking it up online and every number I got was either disconnected or the store was no longer a hobby shop. Ugh. On a better note, I'm already getting some pearling from my plants so yay!

I may consider purchasing them later on. I'm going to a 55 gal this fall. Right now the way I have it is working fine, no leaks, so I'm going to leave well enough alone. Is there a cheaper place to get them?

Well then that's what I did wrong. I bought the small ones. Wish I had known that before. Oh well.
