Hello, all: it's been a while since my last post, cause I've been away for a very long while. Long story made short: My brother gave me his old (and pseudo alive) SW mini tank as a gift for Christmas, so I was caught with this surprise I did want but not right now, but anyways, I'm willing to...

Hya All, its been a while since my last post and im back here asking for help because my girlfriend wants a betta in a bowl for her so I'm wondering about the basic equipment it should have: Should it have some kind of filtration? -I was thinking about at least a 2 gal. bowl wiht a gravel bed...

Ive got 5 neon tetras in a 6 gal tank. One of them is acting like sad; he swims alright but keeps hiding most of the time. Like for 2 days I hadn't seen him eat and today i found him hiding below the driftwood. Hes lost almost all his red colored stripe (turned into like brown), yet the...

Ok so ive got this 10g tetra tank. Mhh like a month ago i had two flame tetras with dropsy... Started feeding veggies (peas, zuccini and lettuce) and flakes but in a cup with water so the dryness wouldnt hurt em... Things got better Today i was changing my water and checking params: pH 7.0...

Ok, so now that Im totally convinced on getting a larger tank, here's the thing. I want to use sand, have it already. What kinda filtration should i get? Will I have to syphon or net all the waste? Ive seen on many aquariums that their sandbed is covered by a brownish thing. Diatoms, I think...

The real question is, what do you feed your ARS? Ive tried frozen brine, zuccini, sinking pellets and soaked flakes. All they do is swim past it and go suck on driftwood or decoration. Ideas? By the way, Im planning on getting a huge kick ass tank after Xmas, so i was wondering what size would...

My brother went to cancun, quintana roo, mexico and brought home enough sand for a 20 gal tank. Its quite cool and everything, i was just wondering if i should do anything (treat it) before using it for a new tank (either SW or FW) Thanx Pato

Ok so i've got this dropsy tetra... How do i do this whole zuccini feeding ritual? I have him sepparated from the whole school, so it wouldnt be a problem feeding him alone. Should i buy a veggie clip and stuff? or let it float/sink All comments and suggestions accepted. TIA Pato

Umm i have this betta in a community tank. Have had him for a month, zero probs, al levels are zero, the prob is all of his fins ezcept the lateral ones seem to be like stiff, like plant's leaves gone dry... Hes lost his colors. Temp is alright, he eats alright, his behaviour is alright, he...

Ok I thought about this for a week and bought 3 yesterday. They did well thru the night. Today theyre still fine but while I was cleaning my filter I noticed two of them didnt stop picking on each other. It looks preety cool. Like if theyre kissing and kissing and kissing. Well then. I dunno if...

Umm ok i've got this tetra. Hes alright except when it comes to eating, he eats normally and then for like an hour or so he has some trouble staying like still, he has to swim down, as if he was floating or something. Anyways. Is there a cure? Its only when it eats... Im know im not...

Heres the scenario. I had a 6 gal tank with 7 neon tetras. I Just bought a betta. So when it comes to feeding I give tetra min my tetras. My betta eats that too. Ive got some floater betta food but seems like it prefers eating the flakes rather than the little spheres... Should I encourage him...

I bought four of them last saturday. They have a reagular earthworm-shaped body. Same size also They come in brown with orange stripes. Suppossed to be bottom feeders/dwellers They have feelers like corys do, a little shorter tho. Spend most of the time hiding beneath driftwood and by night when...

Um ive read wonders about this one. They say its a very easy plant to take care of. I was planning on getting some from my lfs. Price: $20 Size: 1 square inch, 2 max My lfs sez its expensive because its imported and stuff. Let us hear what say you. TIA Pato

¿Have you ever gone to Cancún, Yucatán. In Mexico? well, sand there is like baby powder (almost). My Q is, If I was to get a FW tank and if i want to use sand instead of gravel. What would i need? how do you clean the substrate? do you need a HOB Filter? Can you use a regular UGF? is there a...

Hello again. I was just taking a look at my plants and i noticed that on the 10 gal tank the anacharis plants look as if they got ripped. All of em. Theyre all over the tank (the plants) and the bites are all over my plants. I have a CAE, flame tetras, blood fin tetras and corys there. So...

I've goss a friend who wants to buy a little tank, like 1 gal. We saw an Azoo Model that has HOB and lightning. So waddaya think? She's loking for a "loner" that can do with 21°C like~72°F Suggestions? Got one week till we make a decision TIA Pato

I have a HOB filter the aquaClear Mini. Its set to the minimum water usage, and the syphon is surrounded by some plants. Last week i found my beatiful angelfish stuck there. Maybe he had died before getting stuck but the thing is that just two minutes ago i found one of my corys having trouble...

Lets say i want to have a planted tank. A good pal told me i would not be able to have a planted tank since i use an UGF, so i should change to HOB F if i wanted any real plants in my tank. So... Kindof a dilemma here. I use HOB F and UGF on the 10 gal. so... I would mess only a little lol with...

I've given it a lot of thought and havent figured it out yet. Since i have 4 tanks (10, 6, 2 n 2 gal) i perform from 4 to 6 water changes per week. Thats a lot of water, even though i dont empty them, around 25-40% depending on the available dechlorinated water i've reserved a day or two before...

So this evening i went to the market and bought a medium sized bag of brine shrimp (preety common here) so i fed half and half to each tank. Now everybody's gotten fat lol their bellys look as if everyone was pregnant lol. Any advice to help them get to their "normal state"?
