Ok I have a new Gourami pair in one of my work tanks on my desk. I got them at the last auction on Sunday. They look great and are acting great BUT
The male is always trying to make a bubble nest. The filter seems to pull the plants apart on him and the bubbles seem to be moving to the edge. I...

Star Trek's" Scotty, James Doohan, dead at 85
Hey All,
I was looking at my hornwort and saw a few seed pod things appearing on it. I've grown this stuff forever and never seen it do this. Are these flowers? Are these seed / spore things?
Can I leave them? Are they harmless to the fish occupants? Is it an indicator of anything in...
Ok so the clown pleco recently made a move from my 8 gallon QT to the main tank. [he was getting picked on by the single brichardi that thinks she is building a nest even though she is the only occupant]
Now that he is in the main tank with medium lighting.. MAN what a cool pleco!
he has what...
I would have loved to have bought 6 albino cory cats and 4 brichardi.
But I didn't.
I could squeeze in some abino cories in my big tank....
I have no place for Brichardi's.....
[big sigh]
Ok so I go to the LFS near my house.. They have endlers in a tank. (exciting right....?)
Well the tank has some dead endlers in the intake tube. Then I see one with fungus on it. Then I see one that has a bent spine. And then I see fry...
So in spite of all that I saw I still think to myself...
Well great news on the cyano.. Its all gone... Finished the maracyn (yesterday was day 5) So i come home tonight their is no evidence of cyano...
But I have white spots on my fish.. ICK?

OK so apparently I am starting to have a bad week...
I think I have a slight case of cyanobacteria in my big tank... peeeuuuuuu.
I lost my 2 female guppies and one of my oldest cories...
and to top it all off I missed the aquarium society meeting..
I am pretty bummed out right now...
I am trying to get my head around lighting for plants:
(116W - 145W)
(5000-6000K)
36" lighting?
But if I go to BigAl's Online for example how do I find this type of lighting?
I am in Canada so I don't really want to order from an Online site that is in the states unless I could get it for...
So I have to post this from my experiences this week...
My panda's in their 4th month decided to start getting nippy. I lost one of my praecox rainbows and a few cardinals.
The cardinals were moved over from my 8 gallon and similar size and shape to the panda tetras. I saw them start chasing...
I have to post this and get it off my chest:
I went to a local fish store yesterday and the one of the owners started talking about ICK. This is the theory according to this store:
It is ICK season and they likened it to 'dandlylion season'. I was told that they were recommending that anyone...
I have an "Eheim 2026 Professionel II Filter" on order. Lets play the "what filter media should I use with it" game...
Any suggestions would be great.
I have a 58 gallon. Currently I am running a HOB emperor 400. I am switching to the Eheim to make it quieter in the room short term and long...
My pleco is getting older and bigger and he has started to show lighter patches. It has retained its red coloring around the fin tips. It's love the driftwood and almost never strays far from it. Any definative way to figure out what kind it is?
The other thing is it could posibly be a female...
I tried googling Golden Rams but didn't find much (beyond some football team) Any information you can give me about these guys would be appreciated.
Moooooose
I have four boesemani rainbow's. 3 color up during the day and try to get attention from the 4th that tends to not color up. However when I turn on the lights in the morning all four are colored up purple and orange.
Do I have 4 males?
This is hard but I have to ask:
Tiny looking brown fish with little white spots (natural white not ick) Real slim like a goby/pencil fish. Not a pencil or goby though. I think it could be in the cichlid family. I think I owned one and I think I saw one in the fish store a while back. Any...
Well off to a bad start with the new tank here's the story:
Yesterday morning my 1 sword had a funny looking eye. Tested water (ammonia 0 / nitrites 0 / nitrates 0/ etc...) When I got home his eye was covered over with white fuzz. Second sword that matches had patches as well. So placed the two...
