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...

So I decided to make my own CO2 tank. I got all the parts that I needed including those things you buy from a hobby shop. I get it all put together and it seemed kind of funny. The fuel injector thingies didn't fit flush with the bottle cap, and I got a very loose seal with the air hose. I...

Thinking about getting one of these. Anyone keep them? Would they go well with Angels? TIA

I want to get a 55 gallon and move my whole set up over there. I'll have to get more substrate as right now I have a 26 bow and it won't be enough. I have 20# of eco-complete and 25# of small pebble gravel that I want to move over to the 55 gal when I get it. Do I have to separate the...

Ok, debating on just going ahead and buying a 55 gal used off craigslist (175 for whole set up) and am looking at lighting. I'm wanting to go high light and so now I'm all confused. If I were to put 2 65 watt bulbs end to end, would that equal 130 watts of light? Or would it still only be 65...

Ok, so I changed my substrate out recently (Friday of last week) bc I am going to live plants. I left all the decorations and plastic plants in there as well as a huge panty-hose full of the old gravel. I was concerned about this happening and was trying to prevent it. So today I noticed that...

none of the pet stores I went to yesterday had one. I went to 4 different stores, 2 of which were Petsmarts. The one Petsmart I went to had the replacement parts for the Python on sale like WAY under 50% off so I bought one of each (there were 4 different parts) and I plan on converting my...

I was wondering if there's any way to tell if your angel fish have paired off if they've never spawned in the tank before. Mine never fight and actually prefer to hide together if something startles them. Are they just great buds, or is there a chance they're hitched? TIA!

Ok, I had tried a planted tank a few years ago and it all went wrong. I had tons and tons of algae. Fast forward to today. The only thing I have left from that tank is the lighting system. I paid an arm and a leg for it so I never parted with it. It's a coralife that houses 2 65 watt 6700k...

How long does it usually take for angel fish to reach full growth? I've had 2 for just over a year and while I've seen growth, it's not a whole lot, you know? Which is fine, but I was just wondering as I had an oscar before that got to full growth in like 9 months. TIA! BTW, my smaller one...

It's been a long time! LOL the last time I logged in was 2 years ago. So, nobody may remember me, that's cool. Just wanted to say that I'm back! I had to do a search for fish forums bc I couldn't remember the name of this one...anyway! Hello! I have a 26 gal bowfront with 2 angel fish, 1 rainbow...

<sigh> I bought a 75 gallon tank with all the stuff about a year ago. I've had an oscar and a Jack Dempsey in there the whole time. The problem is, the previous owner used like an SOS pad or something because the glass is all scratched up...it looks terrible. I thought I was going to sell my...

<Sigh> I really don't want to see this go. I have to move next month and unfortunately, this cannot come with me. I bought this tank used. It comes with a solid wood stand and the tank is also lined with wood. It has a glass top, with 1 section missing because I stepped on it and it broke...

Hello. I have two large pieces of driftwood in my 75 gal tank housing an Oscar and a Jack Dempsey. Both pieces of wood have this wierd stuff that kind of grew on it...it's not a plant or algae or anything...I just want to know what I can do to get it off!!! Can I pressure wash it??? I'm...

Ok, so stupid me bought a Fluval 404 online used. Don't yell at me, I've already done enough of that to myself. After setting it up and letting it run last night, I woke up to over 3 gallons of water missing from my 75. I topped off the tank last night before going to bed. The water leaked...

Just wondering how to do this...I have a Red Sea CO2 system. It's working very well for me, but I think I need more CO2 and I was just wondering how I can do that. Should I add another system? I have a more powerful power head...it seems to be what the CO2 is hooked up to. Would this work as...

Well, the burn seems to be healing, I did a water change today and everything was fine until I just noticed my O with the burn has been attacked by either the Jack or the other O. His upper lip is almost detached...you can see the bone. I don't know. I haven't ever seen the other O make an...

Ok, stats of the tank are: 20 Long 130 watts AquaClear filter for 20 gal Red Sea CO2 system Occupants: 4 Leopard Cories (black band over eye) 5 Von Rio Tetras 1 Dwarf Flame Gourami Plants: Straight Vallisneria Wendt's Cryptocoryne Dwarf Sagittaria Ludwigia Anacharis Cabomba Java Fern A couple...

Well, Friday I picked up a 75 gallon tank from a lady. She gave me a large Oscar as well as various other fish. I took all the other fish to the LFS because the lady was uneducated and was keeping african/lake malawi cichlids with an Oscar. I wasn't planning on keeping the Oscar, either...

Well, I've been treating with Melafix for 2 days now and there are already signs of regrowth on the wound. Around the edges it looks better but the center is hmm...rough? Like the skin is lifting off or something like that. He's eating a little better now...forgot to mention the lower...

Well, today my Oscar got moved into a 75 gal tank. Today is also the day he pressed himself up against the heater and now has a reletively large welt on his side. What can I do for this? Melafix??? Help would be appreciated because I don't want it to get infected.

Ok, now that I've got that lighting thing figured out, I was wondering if anyone had a nice list of shorter plants that would make it in my 20L. I'd like to include some that have leaves floating on the surface of the water since I'm putting a butterfly fish in there and they like some shade to...

I am going to plant my 20 long (which isn't even set up yet) however I'm having trouble finding the proper lighting. Ideally, I'd like to go with no more than 60 watts on this tank, but the most readily available to me is 65. Any online stores that sell a 30" long 60 watt light fixture (not...

Wow it's been a while...I want to set my 55 gallon tank up again. This is what I want to do. I want to get a frontosa and about 4 clown loaches. I know they'll need a bigger tank someday, but I read up a little on their growth, and what I read stated that it takes them several years to reach...

Ok, I recently had no choice but to move my Oscars from my 55 gallon into my 26 gallon temporarily. When they were in the 55 gal, the Tiger was constantly picking on the Albino. As a result of this, the Tiger is already almost 3 times the size of the Albino no joke! So I put them in the...
