We get all sorts of odds and ends in with the minnows. This little guy came in a month or so ago and was insanely tiny, but I could at least identify he was a cichlid even though he was a wee speck. Anyone have any idea what type? Someone suggested he might be a dwarf cichlid of some sort...

Pardon the cloudiness.. Took out all the fake ornaments and replaced them with some driftwood I have been soaking for months now.. so everything's a little bit murky. I am pretty satisfied with it, though, for now. But man my cryptocoryne is getting a tad on the long side. I don't know if I...

But hey, I didn't have a dragonscale. :)

Not the best picture of my peacock goby(gudgeon), but they are always zipping in and out of the wisteria. 1 of 2. :) That's one of my red tiger platies peeking out towards the bottom.

Petsmart is finally carrying both. :lol: I picked up a blue and mustard yellow halfmoon this morning. Just letting fellow betta nerds know. :fish1:

Found this through big al's online via facebook.. now, I am probably way off base here. I know it's a large tank. 240g. But doesn't that just seem like way too many fish? Or does it just work out somehow? The water seems to be pristine, but it seems the fish could really barely move around...

Snagged these from a coworkers very neglected fish tank. Have them scoping out the quarantine tank at the moment. I can't say I'd ever seen a sword tail mickey before. I'm sure I just never noticed.

Finally got my camera charger. Had to show off my three babies. :thumb:

I've had my female krib for quite some time but could never seem to find her a mate. About 2 weeks ago I found a male and introduced them. She chased him around at first and I was dismayed thinking love was not in the air... However, I noticed they took a liking to one another recently and...

Is this the best method to go? Only thing I could find at any of the stores. I'm buying things in pieces and want to get the substrate and the filter in so I can begin my fishless cycle while I wait for my light to get here. It's the API laterite. API® First Layer® Pure Laterite™ Aquarium...

I was given a 25 gallon tank recently and ultimately decided I would use it for a heavy to moderate planted tank to house my red cherry shrimp as well as to serve as kind of a preschool for my kribensis fry. Problem is.. it's a very odd shape and I'm not sure what to do with the lighting as a...

So I got to work yesterday and was informed that there was a "betta incident" the night prior. Apparently 3 teenagers came in.. each grabbed a betta and rang up. Well, no one thought much of it apparently(like I needed one more reason to hate the cups), and about 30 minutes later someone calls...

I'm sure this has been posted before, but found this last week. YouTube - Amazing animals - Convict Fish It's like looking at liquid silver. :)

Since I work in a pet store I often end up bringing random baby fish home because they won't let us sell them and usually they won't survive in the parent tanks or against the merciless gravel vacuum of doom we use on a very routine basis. I ended up finding what I thought was a common guppy...

Anyone had any experience with these? Aphyocharax paraguayensis, Panda Tetra, three spot tetra, dawn tetra, para tetra. I started having a whole host of issues after I introduced them to my tank. I'd heard nothing really bad about them. They're sold as tropical community. I quarantined them...

Well, good intentions are awesome.. but sometimes they cause your tank to crash. I am a big fan of the quarantine tank. I keep an extra foam in my tanks in case I ever do make a random fish purchase so that I can just pop it into my little QT. However, my boyfriend has only recently gotten...

So I finally have some time off from work next week(4 days in a row, woo!), and I am really unhappy that I haven't been able to finish scaping my tank. I kind of just threw things in and cycled it(fishlessly) and added my fish. I need more hiding spaces.. whether plants or caves. Will...

So I have been really wanting some of the more colorful varieties of killifish for a while now.. but the actual fish tend to be pretty steep in price. Another member mentioned hatching killifish eggs, and I'd also read about it at some point a while before.. the problem is finding the eggs...

Not the best picture, I'll take one tomorrow unless this one suffices. It was snapped on the go. I was given a 35 gallon hexagon fish tank.. with the condition I take her african cichlids... well, by the time I made it out there the remaining cichlid had killed the other. Not surprised when...

Okay, so I went on a mission today to find any kind of Ram I could find locally and ended up with a free fish from a dealer who claimed this was a Gold ram. He'd been in with tiger oscars when the customer traded him in to the store and as a result his fins are pretty bad and he seemed...

And I have no idea what I'm going to do yet! I'm not going to be adding anything for a while.. want to get my substrate picked, need to buy a bigger heater, already bought my ac 110 and will be running a seeded ac 50 on it for a while.. wanted to go for a canister but money limitations impeded...

So I'm definitely going to be getting a 60 gallon tank by February. It's a tall which wasn't originally my first choice, but I was doing a little reading about Angelfish and apparently they prefer it anyway. I had to choose between them and discus(I love both!), but not quite sure I am ready...

I saw this 55g on craigslist that comes with a pink convict cichlid? Here's a link with a picture of the fish 55 Gallon Aquarium with Stand & XL Pink Convict Cichlid I was thinking of using it for my community tank but I hate to displace the cichlid. He's a pretty big guy from the looks of...

I was just playing around with aqadvisor and kind of planning out future tanks when I noticed one odd message specifically when I added albino cory catfish and a betta in the same tank. In all other set ups of different corys it didn't say this, just the albino. Are they fated to be mortal...

A friend of mine randomly thrust two ghost catfish on me because she's apparently bought several schools of them over the year and hasn't been able to keep them alive. I did have them a few years ago successfully but know they are scaleless and very sensitive to medications which is what I...
