Hi everyone, I know this is a Fish Tank forum so the thing I want to buy is a little out of the ordinary for here, but I figured I'd come to my trusty fish friends first! :) I'm looking for a new home for my crested gecko. The 60g hex paludarium project is a bust. Ideally I'd like an...

Glad to hear the move went well and your guy made it, though sorry to hear he got so stressed! But they do seem to perk up pretty quickly don't they? :) so that's good! And congrats on the new place!

i agree with Zagz, black background will complete the look I think!

haykay - thanks for the information! It is actually pretty helpful and good to know, I used to have 2 sparkling gouramis and they did really well until I had a major tank disaster (whole other story) but before that they did well together in a 20g. There's a couple species of "bumblebee goby"...

Sounds great! I'll have to post updated pictures soon, I added some more plants. It's really fun having live plants, it adds a whole new dimension to keeping a tank! The fish seem to love it too! :) Good luck!

I'm going to be setting up another tank soon and I wanted to get some advice / opinions on stocking options and compatibility. The tank is going to be a 30g planted tank that I am inheriting from my friend's mom. She doesn't have too many live plants in there now, but I plan to fix that ;) And...

No problem! And like An t-iasg make sure to keep the filter media submerged, i forgot to mention that part. It's also probably not a bad idea to add a little ammonia, or maybe just sprinling a little food in there as an ammonia source would work for a day? Given that corwin is the only...

Very cool! I live near albany and a friend has a cabin on a lake in the ADKs, I pulled some dwarf hairgrass out of his lake the other weekend, I plan on trying ot get some more plants, maybe i'll see if I can find some of that cool looking invasive guy! :)

Just thought I'd throw in among the other good advice, that the "lobster" will likely go after fish. More importantly though, I'd have to agree that adding an Oscar may not be the greatest idea, they do get quite large with 55, or preferably 75 gallons being the generally accepted minimum for...

Well you've gotten some excellent advice, I just wanted to throw in that I too moved a 5 gallon tank leaving the substrate with just enough water to cover it in the tank, covered also by saran wrap. I bagged my fish, put them all in a bucket to keep the bags upright and loaded up the car for my...

Also, I Got a few good shots of the cories (still in their QT tank, but they'll be going in the 20g so I thought i'd switch to talking about them over here....for the background and more pics see this thread ) Couple good close-ups of one little guy who was posing :-P First one with the wrong...

so I got a REALLY nice, large, red crypt Wendtii from my LFS today! The ones they had in the "for sale" plant display tanks were kind eh, short, rather green, but they had some in the fish display tanks that were MUCH nicer, and the guy was really nice and gave me one of those instead He looked...

Close up of the driftwood with moss: Close up of the small red crypt wendtii / center of the tank: And some decent shots of my neons / right side of the tank: After taking these pics I decided everything was too.....green...in part due to the new bulb which us accidentally 5000 in...

I rescaped the 20g the other day I tied some moss to the driftwood and added some e. tennellus, in 2 sizes. I removed the struggling cabomba, moved the wisteria to the right corner, the moss-covered driftwood to the left, moved the small red Crypt Wendtii over with the driftwood so it's still...

Heeheehee thanks! I think so too! They're soooooo tiny! I'm talking 1/2" or less! :) SO CUTE!

Pictures! Here are some pics of the little guys in their QT home. They all look really happy and healthy so I probably won't leave them in there for too too long, but better safe than sorry since i've been too lucky thus far with not getting disease outbreaks by not QTing fish. Any here are...

Hey thanks! I really appreciate that! :)

Thanks! I'll be sure to post pics when I can get them :)

I Got My Cories! And they gave me extra! I asked for 6 but said if that only left 1 or 2 I'd take them, we thought there was only 2 left, ended up being for. So I came home with 10 Corydoras pygmaeus but only charged for 8. I thought that was a pretty good deal! I have enough to try a few in my...

Cool, thanks for the input!

Well, I am happy to report that after a weekend away, instead of a disaster, I came home to find my tank looking quite lovely. The very crooked (tallest) wisteria on the right has straightened out nicely, some of the other wisteria plants appear to have grown a bit, and the cabombas have...

Awesome! I enjoyed mine a lot too for the short amount of time i had them. I've decided the 5g is too easy to de-stabilize, at least for now, maybe once the plants grow in quite a bit more, i'll think about SLOWLY adding a few cories back. Hence, i'm looking for ideas for the 20g, but it's...

Great, thanks! Would you consider pandas or habrosus to be in the dwarf category even though they're a bit larger than the pygmeaus or hastatus?

Interesting, I didn't realize that. Thanks! Also, any more thoughts on cories for my 20g?
