I just got a new pleco, false zebra pleco and I can't find any info? Anything you can tell me?

Hello everyone, although I'm not new to this site, I have not been around for a few years. I just thought I'd say hi again to everyone. I'm still an avid aquarist with 3 tanks. I have a 50gal, 30gal and 20gal. They are all tropical and all are planted with the 30gal being heavily planted. I...

I'm sure I'm not the only one who has come across some wierd and absoulutly funny fish behavior in thier time of fish keeping. My featherfin catfish, Spike, has recently taken to swimming upsidedown on the surface of the tank gulping up food. He does this now at every feeding time for as...

I'm such a sucker for these little guys....I was just visiting the fish store with a few friends and I saw the tank of these guys. I had to have another one. So here he is, I've named him Bruzer, cause he is huge compared to my other two SA puffers. So far he is doing well, and loves the...

:cry: well sadly I lost a puffer. Spyro, one of my 4 SA puffers has passed away. I had to trim all of my puffers teeth before heading away on work and he was the only of the 4 to not recover from the trauma of having his teeth clipped. All of the others recovered and are happy and eating like...

Yay, I now have baby angel fish that are past the egg stage and hatched. They are looking kind of acward now, but are doing good. I can't wait to have them grow up. I will post some pics as soon as they get a bit larger.

Hi, I'm new to planted tanks. I want to set up my 20gal guppy tank as a heavily planted tank. Í read the post about starting up a planted tank, thank you it is very imformative. Just curious though, do I need CO2 for my planted tank? I'm looking at something called the "Natual Plant System"...

Ok so I have 4 clown loaches, all of which are doing great and are healthy. One of them is huge, like the boss of the group, two are medium in comparison and one is still small. The runt, or small one ( hey just thought of a new name for him 'the runt' ) is really little compared to the...

I saw some of these at Big Als yesterday. Never heard of them before. They were really neat looking. They are a light brown color and had themselves burried in the rocks with their eyes only visible waiting to ambush the feeder fish. Has anyone heard of these guys before? Do you know of...

I have a 50gal tank with a Fluval canister filter, this tank is quite new. I'm not happy with the Fluval, I find that it is quite dirty evertime I clean it, and the tanks water not as clean as it could be. I'm looking at either a Rena or a Eheim. Any suggestions and expeience with either of...

I was in one of my LFS the other day and saw that they had a brackish tank with gobies, scats and fig. 8 puffs and guppies in it. Are guppies able to live in brackish conditions?

How many angelfish would you suggest for a 30gal tank? I have 3 adults now and two babies growing up that hatched in this tank.

I currently have 3 Bolivian Rams and just this week saw a tank of German Blue Rams in one of the LFS. I love my bolivians!, but did notice that the germans had more different and vibrant colorings. Which are harder to keep and which do most of you prefer?

So I was in a Petland store today just crusin through the fish section when I came upon one tank that had really cute green spotted puffers in it. Instead of calling them GSP the store had them labeled as FRESWATER PUFFERS!!! The store was sooo crazy busy that it was impossible to find someone...

One of my established tanks has a really low PH and I've tried everything to raise it. I've done tons of water changes and am going to buy some crushed coral to add to my filter. Any suggestions? Why would this be happening all of a sudden? Yes I do have driftwood in the tank but its been...

So today I came home from work and found two of my angels cleaning leaves. A few hours later there where eggs on one of the leaves and they seem to be watching over them and taking care of them. It would be nice if they were successful and don't decide to eat the eggs. We will see. I've...

Here is a pic of my two cuites, Pudgy and Spyro.

One of my tanks PH has dropped quite a bit down to around 6.5 and my other two tanks are all around 7. Just wondering if anyone has any ideas on why the PH would go so low. The only new decor in this tank is a peice of driftwood from my LFS. Could this be lowing my PH?

I miss my old puff but I just happened to pass the puffer tank in my LFS and boy what a little cutie swam right by me. That was it I had to take him home. What a livley little one too he put up quite a protest and puffed when he was netted! Now he is getting used to his new home.

I have 4 clown loaches, 6 tiger barbs, one red tailed black shark. Any suggestions on what to add to my tank. I moved all these guys from my 20gal so they could have a bigger home. Once I get some algea growth in this tank I'm going to be looking into a nice Pleco, maybe an emperor but need...

Well really bad news..... Just got back from vacation and came home to find my puff had passed on:( I miss him, he added such personality to my tank! I would like another maybe two but don't know if I want to go through getting attached to one again. Saying by is so hard.

I know of someone that feeds their fish catfood, the wet kind.... What do you think???? I this healthy for the fish, even nutritoius? I have watched the fish and they eat it!!!! Just curious

some days. Just as a kid would need your help out of a sticky situation so do your little finned friends. I came home from a hike yesterday and found Fancy, one of my juvenille angel fish, in the back of the aquarium not moving. She had herself jammed between the driftwood and the glass and...

Just wondering if anyone here has or has had expeirence with dog face puffers? I'm reading up on saltwater aquariums and want to go fish only with a puffer. I don't want a huge tank so want to stay away from the porcupine puffer. I also like the sharpnose puffers but think I'd prefer a dog...

I just got 2 new paradise fish this week and they are sooo pretty. They are in my tiger barb tank and getting alonge just fine. They are pretty tough fish, taking nothing from those barbs! I'll post some pics soon.
