    Green Spotted Puffer

    So, I set up a 10 gallon tank for a GSP and I'm pretty excited. Is a 10 gallon okay for 1 puffer? I read online somewhere that they prefer at least 5-6 gallons per Puffer? I have PFS as a substrate, some big rocks, some fake plants, and a filter that can turn the tank water at least 4 of 5...

    I think I screwed up...

    I found out that adding baking soda will help raise the pH level; then I found out that adding more aeration, and taking the glass lids off will help raise it as well. I think I should have tried the later option first. Did I screw up by adding the baking soda. I added 4Tblspoons to my 55g and...

    Heater?

    Just curious if anyone has an extra heater laying around somewhere? I'll pay for shipping if I need to, prefer someone local. Mine died! I don't feel like buying a new one. Would rather buy it used. Thanks... If not, it never hurts to ask`:silly:

    Has anyone tried this?

    I'm going to Wal-Mart tonight, don't worry not for fish! I'm going to pick up a daylight CFL Bulb (the bulb that fits your average household light fixture)... it's about 4500k! Has anyone used one for a planted tank, if so, what were the results?

    Mollies...

    I have two pregnant mollies in my 10g "molly nursery;" the Dalmation Molly I have has been pretty plump for a couple of weeks, but still no fry! I'm starting to think she's just fat... any ideas? How long does it normally take for the mollies to finallly give birth?

    New Plant - What is it?

    I would post a pic, but I'm not sure how to do that on AA. Anyway, my local Petsmart is closing down and they were selling live plants pretty cheap... so I bought a stemmed plant; it wasn't labeled and the "pet specialist" didn't really know what it was. I bought it because it was the only...

When all is well with my tank; I want to keep some Dwarf Pea Puffers or some Spotted Puffers. I know the Dwarf Pea Puffers are Freshwater, and the Spotted Puffers are brackish. Which ones are...

    Plecos and Fry

    I have 5 molly fry, two pregnant mollies, and a pleco in a 10g breeding tank. My question is, will the pleco eat my fry? The other prego mollies haven't really shown any interest in eating the fry so I am really not worried; they've survived this long!

    Depression?

    I had one of my swordtails commit suicide last night... I found him this morning when I went to feed. Anyhow, I only had a pair, a male and a female. The widowed female now seems very depressed. I'm pretty new at this fishkeeping business, so I'm wondering if in fact she is depressed.
