Hi one of the four latches on my marineland Magnum 350 is broken (the latch to secure the lid to the filter body). The fixture on the body cracked off but the body is still intact. That part that cracked off is lost so I cant replace it with glue (also I dont have the metal latch). The...

I have one that is used but I am thinking about trying to sell it. Does it work with salt water?

What is a good price for a perfect condition Marineland magnum 350 convertible canister filter?

Hey! Yeah I think giving the aggressive barb away would be the best solution. Max - I got the fish for free from someone who moved out of town, so I cant really do that.

Relentless, so much another tiger died from stress. Im suggesting it is the stress he causes by threating to nip more than the nipping itself.

Hey, from the behavior I can see the tiger goes for the other tigers. I think that fish is wired aggressively - even is solitary he is darting around and attacking the walls. Cherry barbs would be a better look for the 50 gal, instead of the lamp eyes. I agree with you they are definately big...

Hey! No the lamp eyes are really nice. I would be moving them because there is a lot of tetras in the 50 gal. To change the look of the tank, make things more diverse. On that note, does anyone know if lamp eye tetras would be good tank mates with tiger barbs (in general, not the...

I recently acquired 3 tiger barbs and 7 cherry barbs. They are in a 20 gallon long tank with a few decorations. One of the tiger barbs is extremely agressive and attacks the other fish. He is in solitary confinement right now. So this is one idea I have had to solve the agression problem. It...

no worries about the lateness. Sadly he did not make it. Though his tank mates were totally with him until the last moment in life. Then a couple of hours laters they were playing like never before. Haha! The more I watch fish the more the seem like people.

Yes, swim bladder disorder. It is possible to clear the swim bladder of air by sort of giving the fish the heimlich maneuver.

20 gal Penguin 150 (carbon removed for meds) 100W heater Stresszyme + Nitraban Tetra food, 9 months old. 17 W light. 7 rosy barbs 3 tiger barbs. The 4th tiger barb was damaged in transfer by a net frame. I think he has some internal non-critical injury. He was upside down for about 24 hours...

LOL, I did not purchase the fish - this guy was moving and had to get rid of the fish. I would not have bought tiger barbs if I this was something I spent money on. Hopefully the fish natural healing can repair bone or tissue damage. Then if he perks up Ill know when to return the fish to the...

Hello While trying to net a tiger barb, the wire frame of a net crushed it, maybe brusing or breaking bones. (The person trying to net it said he thought he broke its back and I dont know what really happened or what made him say that) There is no gross deformity observable, but he was...

Nitrates @ 40 ppm, Nitrites at .25 ppm.... and changing water.

It has been 6 weeks and the fish are very healthy. The previous owner of the tank did the changes every 6 weeks.

50 gallon. 17 1-inch fish, 3 2.5 inch fish. Emporer 280 power filter with E size filter and extra carbon filter. No plants. White gravel substrate. 4 hrs/day 17W coralife light. 75 degrees. Nitraban w/ new water. Stresszyme (25 mls) once a week. How often do I need to change water and how...

Lost a puffer yesterday. I checked the water and pH nitrate, nitrite, and ammonia are all fine. I suspect that the tape glue dissolved some contaminates into the water...Im going to give the water a change tonight, if the last puffer is still standing. Its kind of playin myself by...

Im a little worried about 2 GSPs. I put in a new hiding place a few days ago. Now all they do is hide underneath it. They look healthy, no visible symptoms. They also swim around occasionally. They are pretty young, is feeding once a day with a krill too much? Also, I put in a DIY filter...

Do you think it is a custom substrate?

It is as I thought.

Can Clown Loach survive in a brackish tank? Can they survive with GSP?

I know all about the ways of the GSP. The ram im not sure about, but Im not going to take a chance with such a nice fish. In light of this post, it sounds like that is too much of a risk.

Would my German Balloon ram get along with 2 GSP in a brackish tank? I dont know if Rams are brackish tolerant, but I heard they can hold their own in terms of being attacked.

Does anybody sell tumbled gravel? Its possible that someone with a rock tumbler bought some pacific ocean gravel then polished it into little spheres.

Its a sand of some type, for sure.
