So the answer for this tank ended up - leave the top level clear of fish. It has mid and bottom dwellers that are happy.

It's a 2012 thread now !

That is a nice shoal, bet they look cool in the current!

Just getting around to reading this thread! Was away in my hot tub time machine.

If your unsure, can't find a catagory, or there is more than one species in the pic...put it here.

It would be nice to figure out where the person got the idea that a larger % water change is a bad thing. If it was from personal experience I am sure you could determine what happened to make her think it. Putting water in the tank that is of the wrong temp or colder than your tank could...

right now: 1. Neolamprologus leleupi 2. Altolamprologus calvus 3. a few killies

so it serves me right for posting in this thread... I have a tank with no substrate. I looked at it this evening and I see a large number of baby snails all over the tank and clutches of eggs that look like they are about to hatch... ... lots of them! Almost gross!!! mooooooose

Good points t3hRobG! And the other thing is that sometimes with snails you see a few but already have 'many' (be it egg or very small hatchings)

I agree with Lisa! - sometimes the snail ratio shows if there is too much feeding occurring.. "sometimes" (*millage may vary.) But I have found with some tanks that I reduced feeding and the snails did not flourish as much. Those ones look pretty cool! Moooose

great photo of a great loach!

thanks all for your replies... Mooose

thanks i will have to refresh my memory on the different types of danios... Any live bearers come to mind?

what fish enjoys strong current and the top part of the tank? Any come to mind off the top of your head? Do guppies? Mooooooose

I can't speak for the filtration system on those things but I have a seaclear 8 gallon hex that I've owned for a number of years that I am very happy with. It was made with a very good quality acrylic that has held up very well over the years. If that was for sale in my area i would be scooping...

Looks like seed to the floating plant to me... :)

airstone is always a good idea. Once everyone gets a taste for the eggs they seem to end up waiting for them and then it is you versus fish for getting them out in time ;)

Try to pick up some microworms for your next hatch! You could consider have a few of the eggs hatch in a smaller tupperwear type container with a single snail to clean up after the fry and daily water changes.

Baby Bjorn baby carrier is very helpful. You can carry baby around and actually do things. I had a few different kinds but the Bjorn was the most useful and comfortable and you can have baby face you or face out. For baby formula don't be afraid of the powder. It is way easier to prepare than I...

Cory eggs are pretty strong. I've used a tooth pick to loosen them off the side and then easily remove them. People say you can use razor blades but I was always afraid of hurting the eggs. Good luck with your hatch!! Get some microworms if you can for the fry :) Also ditch the white one...

Some dude posted this link: http://www.aquariumplants.com/articles.asp?id=129 I haven't tried them. Just read the post and went and had a quick look. Moose
