I hope this post makes sense as I am trying to decipher my brother's problem without seeing it. He lives in CA and I am in NC and he called me this morning with a question I am not sure how to answer since I don't have experience with cannister filters. I am not sure what brand it is either...

I bought a new 48" strip light to go on top of my new 55g tank. The bulb I got for it said 7000K, so I thought it would be perfect for growing plants. But....it is only 40 watts. That isn't enough wattage for maintaining the plants, is it? If not, can someone find one online that is what I...

This is my 29g tank that my ma and pa angelfish were in along with two albino cories. Since moving them to my new 55g tank I moved my two dwarf puffers to the 29g tank. If you look closely you can see them in the upper right corner. :D

This is my "new" 55g tank that I got on craigslist for $150. It included the stand and a rena 150w heater. I was happy with it. My two albino cories are now in there along with my ma and pa angelfish. Will soon be stocking more. Thought I would share. I know it looks kinda sparse, plant...

I have moved my two puffer fish from their own 10g tanks to a 29g tank together. I have it heavily planted like they like it, but I do have a lot of top space in the tank that is open. I would like some medium to large floating plants that they would feel comfortable hiding in. I am not...

Hi All! Well, I am finally doing it...upgrading to a 55 gallon tank. When I first found Aquarium Advice I had a betta in a two gallon tank. That has progressed to three ten gallon tanks, two five gallon tanks, one 29 gallon tank, and currently a 5 gallon snail tank. This 55g tank is a...

I am, again, in need of some snails for my puffers to eat. I keep trying to "grow" a snail tank and can't seem to keep up with their appetites. They eat them quicker than the snails can reproduce :confused:. I will GLADLY pay shipping charges if anyone has pond snails they want to get rid of...

Here are some recent videos I took this morning of my angels "gettin in the mood"....:cool: Hope those links work....

With all of the wacky weather we have been having lately I have been thinking about what would happen to my tanks should I lose power....eeeeks! I am having trouble finding battery powered heaters online. I have been able to find battery powered air pumps, but not heaters.....anyone have...

I haven't posted in a while as all my tanks have been up and running with no problems whatsoever....until Christmas Day. All of this is happening in my 29 gallon community tank. I will try to cover all of the bases, but ask a question if I left something out please. In my 29 gallon community...

I have two large crypts and one small crypt I would love to trade someone....trouble is I don't know what I want to trade. I have already traded for snails, so I don't need those. If you are interested in these crypts let me know....they are beautiful, healthy plants. The largest one is just...

I also have an ad up in the WTB section for pond snails, but thought I would also offer to trade some plant cuttings for some pond snails for my dwarf puffers. I have some sunset hygro and what I believe is ambulia. I have lots of both to spare...so if you are interested in trading, please let...

I am looking to buy as many pond snails as you want to get rid of....I have two dwarf puffers and they need LOTS of snails. Right now they are eating me out of house and home...lol! I have set up a snail breeding tank, but I can't keep up with the puffer's appetites at this point. If you are...

Do either tetracycline or API's Triple Sulfa kill the beneficial bacteria in a tank? I am having to treat one of my female bettas who had a nipped fin from my 29g tank. I moved her to an empty, but fully cycled 5g tank to help her recover and noticed a couple of days later that she had some...

I am helping a friend of mine with cycling her tank. She has owned fw fish in the past, but had never heard of fishless cycling before, so I am introducing her to it. She fell in love with my new dwarf puffer this past week and decided she wanted one, but I told her ONLY if she did a cycle of...

I received her today from a lady I met on dwarpuffers.com. She is beautiful and we have named her Gloria. I wish I could figure out how to copy and paste from there without all of that mess typed in....I see the word nude and this fish is nude....but it is not dirty photos....lol....promise...

They possibly have dwarf puffers for sale on their site, but does anyone have any experience ordering anything from them? How were their products, livestock, shipping, etc.?

I have a 5g hex tank that was housing Balthazar the betta, but I acquired a 5g long tank that I moved him to to give him more horizontal swimming room....the 5g hex tank was fully cycled. It has been empty now for five days except for live plants, gravel, and snails with biowheel filter still...

I am looking for EXACT directions, as I am having trouble finding out how to build a brackish tank. When I was out yesterday getting my angels and loaches, my husband fell in love with the green spotted puffers. So, lightbulb went off in my head to maybe set up a GSP tank for him for his...

I took the plunge yesterday and got two new angel fish (which are about the size of a quarter or less right now) and two new yo-yo loaches (they are tiny right now too - about 1.5-2"). Anyway, acclimating went well. I really took my time with the angels (around 1.5 hours) and all new fish made...

Anyone here have experience with this product from Drs. Foster & Smith? Planted Aquarium Plant Care: Aquatic Gardener I really need something to prune my tanks with other than my household scissors.....

I currently have a total of 14 fish in my 29g tank as follows: 6 albino cories 5 lamp eye tetras 2 female bettas 1 rubberlip pleco Would it possible to add a few more fish to this mix.....I have been reading some of the threads about yo yo loaches lately and might would like to add maybe...

Here are a couple of female betta pictures and albino cories....I just luv 'em!!:p My lamp eye tetras are very hard to capture clearly.

This is especially for Rachael ;), but for all to enjoy! Balthazar is a very "show-offy" betta and loves his picture taken. He's a real joy, Rachael! :-D Sorry, I can't for the life of me, figure out how to get music attached to the video. I tried three different times and it didn't work...

I don't think this should be in the sick fish forum, but wanted to know if it is common when a female betta is added to a community tank for them to get very fat? I added my two female bettas to my established 29g a couple of weeks ago. They are fine and getting along with everyone....BUT...
