I have a 55 gallon community tank with some female betta's. About a week ago one of my old fish died. By old I mean close to 3 years. It looked like it had a hole in it's stomach with red stringie instead coming out. I figured someone got pissed at it, since I watch them pretty well. Well...

I dont really know how to describe it, but it almost looks like a slimey version of dandruff on my new angels. I've raised angels before and have never seen this. I love the coloration on these fish and want to keep them. Your experiance is appreciated. The fish are not acting differently at...

I was considering getting some fresh water clams to add some natural filtration to the water. I have a 55 gallon, 2 10 gallons and 2 20 gallons. The 55 currently has a pretty good water turn over rate provided by 4 lee's bubble filters with a very high power pump attached. My angles thought...

Ok, I'm getting big into all natural fish tanks here. I started a 10 gallon tank with some guppies, heavily planted and lit, and with a TON of filtration and it ran for almost a year without much hands on work at all. Ammonia was non existent and plant growth is TREMENDOUS (I'm gonna have one...

Here is a tough question. As guppies do, my guppies have bred. I have segregated the males as much as possible, but I had something like 7 pregnet guppies 3 months ago, and have gotten 8 drops so far. Now they are all active and happy, plenty of hiding spaces for the little one's, they only...

Ok, so my 55 gallon I have currently set up with 6 60w equivalent 15w actual compact florescent light bulbs. I'm shooting for 2 to 3 watts per gallon, so do I count these as 15w bulbs or 60w bulbs?

Just gonna start out with I'm not a big fan of pleco's. Moving on. I have a 55G where I am trying to keep the PH at about 6.5 to make my Angels and Tetra's nice and happy. From previous experience, snails don't make it long at 6.5. The shrimp didn't last but a week with those angels (though...

Does anyone see a problem putting backyard rocks into your aquarium? Assuming I let them soak for a while and clean them (no chemicals). Also test to make sure they do not change the PH of the water, would it cause a problem?

I originally posted this question in a different forum not realizing there was a planted section. That's what I get for cruising forums while bulk installing software at work...At least the mistake wasn't on the software. Anyway, I have recently set up a 55 gallon for my Angels who finally...

I have a 55 gallon tank that while is well cycled already (running for less than a week, thank you to the MASS of filter media stolen from my other tanks :-)) I still have not finalized my plant setup. I would like some kind of thick stalky plant that I can arrange similar to roots so my...
