Hi everyone, i am back. My PC had brain, heart and liver failure, all at once, je je je. Finally got it back running with a few glitches, lost the use of my CD rom, and lost half my ram, but i am back. I have a 20 Gallon tank with mixed community fish, Guppies, Mollies, Rainbow shark, red...

Hi everyone, I am a little sad today, i lost one of my female Guppys. xsx I noticed yesterday she was swimming vertically head first. The only fish i have that does that is my rainbow shark, but not the guppies. She also looked very fat, i thought she was carrying, so i was just waiting for...

Wow, great research, but now i am confused. When i was a teenager and had fish, i used tap water and never had a problem, now i use bottled water because of the high chlorine in our tap water. I have used it for over 3 years now and have had no apparent problems with my fish. But i didnt know...

Great, I feed them flakes and the tubifex worms, At first they looked like they where not very interested in them, (Tubiflex), but know they go crazy over them. Thanks

Glad to see i am not the only one, lol. :D My prior job kept me out of the house almost all day, so i didnt have to much time to decor. My current job keeps me at home a lot and guess who gets a lot of my attention. I rearranged my whole setup, added fish, added two more plants, cleaned...

Hi all, I am also thinking of getting a Betta for my 20 Gal. tank but was wondering about what to feed him. I use flakes for mollies, guppies, tetras, but do i need to get the betta another type of food? Thanks, Katfish

Hey, 78 seems to be the consensus, so i am setting my heater to 78 starting tomorrow. I checked it today around noon and it was around 76 so i am pretty close. At night i comes down to around 72-74 depending on the weather. This week its going to be cooler according to the weather guy so i...

Hi all, I am wondering about temperatures for my aquarium. I have 3 tetras, 3 bloodfin, mollies, guppies and an algae eater. Here the temps in the summer really get high over 80 but my fish are used to it, i dont worrry that much. But i dont know about the cooler temp. I read that someone...

I have a 20 Gal. tank freshwater and going to get a new 30 Gal. tank in December. Its a community tank, i got 4 Guppies, 1 black molly, 2 black-gold mollies, 3 marbled mollies, 3 Tetras, 3 bloodfin tetras and 1 alge eater. don't know hes name, but they come pretty small and it takes a few years...

Well it seems the sizes vary, two of them are over 1 cm and others not their yet, the 3 mollies are being left behind just over 6 mm. And the last two are still very small. They really like to eat though, i give them flakes and some freezed dried worms which the go crazy over. :lol: I will...

Hi everyone, I have 7 new guppies that are 5 weeks old and i am wondering when are they old enough to be placed back in my 20 Gal. community tank? Since i have some tetras i don't want them to end up as dinner. I found the last 2 hiding in the ornaments i have and rescued them, but i know...

15 hrs., i take it this is by land? Car or truck? I live in Hermosillo Mexico and all of the aquariums here get their fish flown in from the US and South America. You might consider flying them over. Have a talk with a shipper like UPS or American Express, they can provide you with the type of...

Dont forget the fish! This really brings out the little child in us getting a new toy. Dont you just love it. I started out with a 10 Gal. with one of those carbon activated sumerged filters with pump an all. Then decided to get a 20 gal. Which made me so happy, with a drop filter, no more...

Je je je, Yeah, that will do it!

Good point Nejsux, You made a good point. Hope they made mine to last, je je. The thing about getting it from Walmart was that they sold it with everything on it, all i needed to get where the fish. And i already had those, so.. I was just curiuos, since just about everything we buy last...

WOW! 280 Cool, My hat is also off to you, and to think i thought that getting a 55 Gallon was just to much for me, je je. Hey, please send some pics when you get it up and ready, and some pics of your arowana, lucky guy. Katfish

I have a 20 Gallon tank that i got at Walmart 4 years ago and i am wondering if there is a duration or life span to them? I know i should check regularly for signs of silicone damage or pealing, and obviously leaks. But thats part of maintanance. I want to know if they have an average life...

Wrong Shark Sorry guys, the Shark i had was a Rainbow Shark, not a Redtail Shark, i always get them confused do to the translation down here in Mexico. And yes they are more uptight je je je. Thanks, Katfish

Keeping an eye out Thanks guys, and yes i am keeping an eye out for more of them. The problem being that i have a comunity tank and the tetras are also looking out for them. What i did is keep some of the fox tail plant that i just got floating along with another plant so they have a place to...

I still cant figure out when a female guppy is ready to have her babies. I have one that looks pretty big now, so i isolated here in one of those nets so the other fish wont eat up the new guppy babies. I had her there for 3 days and nothing, she looked kinda sad in there so i took her out. I...

RedTail Shark My tank is 20 US gallon, i plan on getting a 29 Gallon for Xmas but i think that i can just only have on shark around in that size, either that or six. I prefer 1. Thanks everyone for your input. Katfish

Hi everyone, I had a red tail shark that i just loved, he grew to about 2 inches long and looked great. I had him for about 3 years, i tried to have more but, not doing research on them, i didn't know you cant have 2 or 3 three of them without them getting into a fight with each other. At first...

I Agree I bought 4 guppyies and 2 mollies the other day and took them home, about 3 hour drive. They made it very well. However the person in charge of the aquariums was a middle-aged woman who seem to know her job well. I recall a few years back i was getting ready to buy 2 redtail sharks...

MTS I got it too, I got a 20 gal, going to get a 30 gal and was going to sell the smaller one, the key word here is "was". Now i am thinking of setting up the larger one in the living room and the smaller one in my everything room ( Computer room, relaxation room, etc) Now what do i do with...

Angel Sorry to say my Angel didnt make it. I found him laying on the gravel floor, gone. Went over to the aquarium shop were i got him to maybe buy a new one, and i found out that a lot of the Angels had also died, the owner thinks they were either to stressed after shipping or that they were...
