I have a 29 gallon aquarium with an aquaclear 30 filter on the left side. I was thinking about adding a second of the same size on the right side. would this be too much? Seems like the one I have now is working really hard.

I have a 29 gallon with sand substrate. it has a couple decorations, a driftwood, amd a small plant. All I have living in there right now is a 6 year old female african clawed frog. I used to also have a pike cichlid and bristlenose pleco, but an apparent amonia spike caused by my brothers...

I have a 3 year old African clawed frog in my 29g tank. I have had fish before, but they either attack him, or he eats them. Oddly enough, I had a young pike cichlid for a while and they got along for some reason. I want to get a bristlenose pleco, but I am wondering if there is anything else...

I just acquired a 20 gallon tank with one of those simple filters they usually come with. I have an aquaclear filter on my 29g and I love it. It is quiet, but does an excellent job of keeping the water clean. It's rated for 30 gallons. I wanted to get 30 gallon filter for this new tank...

I have not posted in a while, had a lot going on, including the death of all my fish after a water change. :/ Still have the African Clawed frog though, which brings up my question. I was thinking about getting an albino to put in there with him. I have a 29 gallon long and my ACF is my only...

I dont know what happened. I came home today and he was dead. Everyone else seems to be ok. The water is cloudy. MY dad got my lil bro one of those carnival goldfish, you guys will kill me, but I put him in with my own fish. I wonder if this had something to do with it. I am really sad now I...

I wanted a better filter than the one that came with the tank kit, so I went to my LFS to look at better ones. They had Tetra Whisper systems and Aquaclear systems. The employee suggested I go for the aquaclear. I have had it for over a month and like it so far, but how fast should I have the...

I currently have gravel and was thinking about going to sand. The people at the LFS advised against me getting sand in a freshwater tank. I was told it would mess up the chemical composition of the tank and be very hard to take care of. Is it a good idea to go to sand? If so, what is the...

I started a thread several days ago about how all of my plants died. Most people I talk with seem to think it is a lighting problem. I have a standard 24" 18W aquarium bulb in my 29 gal tank. I could either get a light specially designed for aqua plants, but how will that affect my fish...

I finally uploaded a couple pics to the computer. The people at the pet store didnt even know what he was when I got him. I went back a week ago with a pic and finally got someone to identify him as a pike cichlid. I have a 29 Gal with African Clawed Frog, Bristlenose, and Upside Down Cat. The...

I just can't keep plants alive in my tank. Had my water tested as I do weekly and nothing bad was found. The people at my LFS said it was probably because I need a light specifically designed for plants. I am thinking i want to give up anyway and just go with fakes. But the fakes seem so...

Long story short....i was at the pet store a couple months ago looking for a new fish to add to my 29 gallon. I saw a fish that go my attention. He was in with the store's upside down cats. The person at the store could not identify him at the time because there was no label. She suggested...

I currently have rocks and a few plants on them....I would like to go to sand....partly since I have a new mystery fish that I think may be a black striped loach (long story there). Whats the best way to take out the rocks and add sand? without harming the fish. my current animals: African...

I got a pair of Upside Down cats at the local store..but they have totally different colors and patterns. The one in this pic looks strikingly similar to the Lace Cats the store sells from another tank. What do you guys think? If it is a Lace..im afraid it will be aggressive and outgrow my 29G.

The past 2 days he has just been floating along at the top of the tank. He doesnt seem active at all. He lets me pick him up instead of swimming away. Is this a very bad sign or could he just be lazy? He was only 4 bucks and has a 30 day garuntee...but I still dont want anything to happen to...

I do have to clean the sides of the tank.

I mentioned in another thread that I have a Dwarf African frog.I was informed that the frog works better with live food. What is a good live food for the little frog?

I have a 29 Gal with 6 real plants. 2 juvanile Upside Down Cats 1 Baby African Dwarf Frog many snails 1 Bristlenose Pleco in a week. Possibly a Half-moon Beta in the future? Or some mid-to-upper level swimmer. My question is: Would shrimp be at peace with the animals in there now?

Well I finally got my tank ready for fish!! About time, I set it up like 3 months ago. I went to the pet store today and they orderd me a Bristlenose Pleco at my request. While I was there I picked up a pair of Upside Down cats and some kind of dwarf frog. I was told the albino frogs get...

So my tank has been set up for a month and I just now noticed this tiny snail! He must have come in on one of the plants!! Is this a bad thing? Sorry for the poor pic..its just hard to get around behind my tank.

Well my PH is 7.6...been that way for 3 weeks. I have tried 7.0 balancer powder and it had zero affect. Next I tried PH down liquid at the advice of a pet store associate..still reading around 7.6. I am frustrated..is it normal or should those things have worked faster? It just seems like it...

I am in no hurry to put an animal in my tank until I know the water is safe, but I was wondering if I could go ahead and put a plant or two in the tank to be established for when the fish do arrive.

I just got a 29 gallon complete with heater and filter. I set it up 2 days ago and put the chemicals to make tap water safe for fish. I want to make sure everything is A-ok before I put an animal in the tank. On my next day off I will go to the store to have a test of my water done. I have one...
