The pleco is sure to be alright where he is now :( I didn't go looking for him outside of the tank for a few hours because I thought he was hiding. When I still hadn't seen him later is when I looked outside of the tank. My guess is that even if I had looked outside the tank when I first...

My pleco I got this past weekend decided that all was not right with the world and jumped out of the tank. I hadn't heard of them doing that so I'm wondering, has anyone else had a pleco jump out of the tank? Of course, I didn't notice right away, I just thought he was hiding.

Where is Aqua Escape? The closest one to me is Fish Pros on Hillsborough Street. I haven't had any problems with any of the stuff they've sold me yet.

I noticed some snails late last week and I got a few Cory Cats this past weekend. I haven't seen any snails since then. I wonder where they went......

Just make sure the salt dissolves before it gets to the fish. I had a few pieces that hadn't fully dissolved when I finished off my water change this past weekend. My smallest Zebra Danio that it was food and went right after it. Toxic shock and a burial at sea. It pissed me off because I've...

I haven't noticed any true spikes, that was the point of my update. The fish are in the tank and nothing is going wrong. Of course, I say that now and I'll go home to a tank of dead fish.

Quick update. Over the weekend I decided to be a little ballsy and get 6 zebras (suggested to only get 4). After 24 hours I checked the water, ammonia was halfway between zero and the first color at worst, the same for nitrites. Nitrates were between the first color above zero and the second...

Pardon my ignorance but do Cory Cats help keep the gravel and such clean? I know I'll still need to use the gravel vac when I do a water change but I would like something to help keep things other than me. What can I say? I'm lazy!

I know but like I said, I'm cautious. It's the accountant in me. Not really. Right now I'm more interested in getting fish and keeping them alive than I am in any particular fish. For any body that would visit I would like to have something colorful. The reason I'm thinking 7-10 Zebras is...

Fishless. The reason I say "appears" is because by all the tests it has gone through a cycle but I'm new to this so I'm leaning towards being overly cautious. That's why I'm going with the Zebra's. Everyone seems to be in agreement that they are some of the best to start out so if I have some...

I have a 30 gal tank, 36 in long, 12 deep, 16 tall. I don't have much decorations in there yet, just a piece of driftwood and a few airstones. The LFS was waiting for a delivery and PetSmart's selection is in the process of being moved around so I can't find any decent rocks or the like. I...
