    Wanted: Nice Rainbows

    I don't remember what he will be breeding next or how often he sells them. I will be purchasing some more after I get some more aquariums installed but that will be a little ways off.

    Wanted: Nice Rainbows

    If no one here has any try Aquabid but ask the people at rainbow-fish.org about the sellers. Rosline17, at least I think that is correct, sells some nice bows on Aquabid. I have found that not all bows are created equal and my Bosemani, Praecox, and Parva are great examples. I hope to be...

    Easier water changes?

    I use a waterbed pump to drain and fill my aquarium. I bought a piece at Lowe's that allows me to connect my gravel vac to the pump. I just switch the pump off if it gets too much gravel in it. I also purchased an RV hose to use. It is not as stiff as a garden hose. Also purchased quick...

    my ammonia levels wont drop!

    I used Dr. Tim's One and Only to cycle my tank. After two weeks of cycling I started adding fish. I have had over 40 small fish in a 120 gallon for over a month with 0 ammonia. Dr. Tim claims that with his product there is no need to cycle. I don't think I would go that far but from what I saw...

    Substrate Change

    Has anyone changed the substrate in a cycled tank? Just wondering if it can cause problems. I am using a sump for filtration on a 120 gallon tank. Thanks, NovaHeat

    Fishless cycle question What next?

    Nitrates are down to 5 and everything else is still 0. Employees at the LFS are starting to take a look at the fishless cycle process after they have seen the success with mine. NovaHeat

    Ultraviolet Sterilizer?

    Is anyone using an Ultraviolet Sterilizer in a freshwater fish and plant tank? I was thinking about getting one but wanted to see if anyone has had any experience with them. Thanks, NovaHeat

    Mixing dwarf gouramis and pearl gouramis?

    All but the original Dwarf has been returned to LFS. Everything is back to normal. It would have been nice to keep them but the price of their health was at stake. Thanks, NovaHeat

    Lighting help

    I was thinking about mixing them. My fixture holds two 96w and two 65w. Does anyone know the main purpose of the 12000K? Thank you, NovaHeat

    Rainbows, Gouramis....

    Judge92, peaceful if there are only one, yes. Peaceful if there are two or more is debatable. I have four in a 120g and I am having problems with them. The first one was fine with my other fish but they don't like each others company. I have seen some posts where they are not having any problems...

    Lighting help

    I have three choices when it comes to bulbs, 1200k, 6700K, and 50/50. I am not counting the blue lights that I have been told are for saltwater. The light that came with my tank was a 50/50. Wife liked the colors off of it better than the 6700K lights I have now. Is a 50/50 okay for plants...

    Mixing dwarf gouramis and pearl gouramis?

    I wondered about the common name of the blue with red stripes. The only name other than Latin name I have seen is Dwarf Gourami. All of the other dwarf gouramis I have seen had something added, honey, powder blue, etc. I had heard the Dwarfs were more laid back than the regular Gouramis. I want...

    Mixing dwarf gouramis and pearl gouramis?

    Does anyone have dwarf gouramis and pearl gouramis in the same tank? I currently have two dwarf gouramis and two dwarf powder blue gouramis and was thinking about a male and two female pearls. The dwarfs seem to be getting along fine. Thanks, NovaHeat

    still no sign of nitrites

    I used Dr. Tim's One and Only to speed up the cycle process on my tank. My experience was following a post he references on his site until the Nitrites spiked well above 5ppm. After a partial water change everything went fairly quick. The site says you do not need to do a fishles cycle if you...

    Fishless cycle question What next?

    The tank has cycled. Fish are now enjoying their new home with no Ammonia or Nitrites. Nitrates are around 20. Fishless cycling is far better than adding chemicals to reduce ammonia or doing frequent water changes hoping everyone will survive. Two thumbs up for fishless cycle. NovaHeat

    Plant Sugestions

    I have two medium to large pieces of drift wood for a center piece. The fish love swimming in and out of the holes in it. One of the pieces is flat on top so I may add moss to it. Wife thinks it will look like a short tree. I need to measure the tank and calculate the gallons. The lady I...

    Zebra Danio's are NUTZ?

    Try the blue LEDs for lighting. It makes the glofish glow like a black light. They really stand out then, as long as they stay out of the strainer. These little guys are crazy. NovaHeat

    Cories

    I ended up with the Peppered Cories. I was interested in Julies but the LFS does not carry them. I talked to a couple of guys at the LFS due to concerns about my gravel and both of them have cories with the same kind of gravel I am using. I will have to empty the tank to move it next summer...

    How long to leave on aquarium lights

    I had a timer that came with my used aquarium but it did not have any instructions. After purchasing one from Home Depot I figured out how the other one works. It is missing a battery and battery cover. The only difference between the two is on four outlets they can be split into two programs...

    Plant Sugestions

    Thanks everyone for the replies. I ended up with Vals, Dwarf Sag., and Dwarf Hair Grass. It looks like most are surviving a newbie's planting. I will probably be adding moss later to some driftwood. The grass should have been separated more but I think it will spread okay. Thanks again, NovaHeat
