I was searching through the local classifieds this morning and found a guy selling his 1 yr old Fluval 403 Canister Filter for $80. Should I look into this? It’s rated up to 100 gallons and I know these things are generally expensive. I've just never had any practical exp with canister filters...

Lookin to replace my dying filter for my 55g. I have a very limited budget of about 50 bucks. Anyone have any suggestions? Was looking at an emperor 400 but if anyone has a different suggestion I'd like to hear it. Thank you.

Depends what you want to do with them. The babies will grow fast taking a few weeks to grow large enough to be on their own. Not all of them will survive, there are almost always a casualty or two and if you want to keep as many alive then feed them brine shrimp or crushed flake food. If you...

you will have many many babies very very soon. Convict cichlids would breed in a mud puddle given the chance. The parents are also very aggressive when it comes to protecting their offspring.

I hate to be the jerk but you said you wanted a SA theme...idk if you meant all of the fish or the plants inside it. Gouramis are from SE asia :/ And I'd be a little nervous about freshwater clams because of the difficulty it takes to raise them not to mention how if they die theyre going to...

Yes, theyre both cycled. Theyve had fish in them for the past two yrs up until yesterday

Okay as you can tell by my signature I have two empty tanks right now. Both have been set up and running, I just wanted some change so I gave my fish to some of my friends who have established tanks. I was thinking maybe having juli's in my 38 gallon and have a breeding colony or something...

a The pic is one of the female (possible) hybrids next to a pen for comparison. It seems much to elongated and large when compared to the other normal female endlers.

I have two tanks one has endlers in it the other has guppies. Both are pure strains and are beautiful fish. One day a couple of weeks ago I decided to switch the fishs tanks giving the endlers the biiger of the tanks so they could have more room to breed. sadly I think I missed one of the male...

Actually saw one of the suckers at PetCo today! It was the only fish in the tank when it was supposed ot have some needle nose gar in it. I wonder what ever happened to the gar....

So far everyone has nailed anythign and everything id wanna see in my local LFS. Ok how about books and magazines? Oh and you'd be suprised on how many people will buy crickets if you offer them. A lot of people who have fish are bound to have lizards and such. THose seem to sell the most at the...

Well I checked it out and I believe one of the plastic pieces that holds the impeller is broken which doesnt keep the impeller in place. I think the impelle is worn down too. I think instead of going through all the trouble of fixing it I'll just get a new filter. I was looking into getting a...

ill do that right now actually...

I currently have an Emperor 400 (the bigger one) that seems to be making way too much noise. The flow adjustment knob rattles and shakes and a lot of sounds seems to be coming from the impeller or something. Any help or suggestions would be very appreciated.

Do u happen to use CO2 in your tank at all?

I recently got a pair of blue gouramies and dropped them into my 55 gallon that has floating plants in it. I noticed that as soon as they were in the male began courting the female. If you dont have alot of surface plants then u need to turn your filter down to have less surface agitation. Youll...

Congrats, on the Ameca Splendens fry! From what I know, its critically endangered in the wild. The auction I went to this past weekend had several bags of them because a local guy has a fish room and bred a whole loot of them

Have you tried anything to stabilize the pH to a lower level? A lot of the fish you have been getting like soft acidic water. Perhaps you would have better luck with cichlids?

green algae that is quite gloopy

How do I get rid of algae on floating plant roots without damaging the roots? I have watersprite (I think) that has some real goopy aglae coating the roots in my 55. I try getting it off but it seems nearly pointless cuz it just doesnt want to come off :(

Java Moss, Java Fern, Crypts

I like it says in the article that they require no sunlight or little ligyht but at the bottom the requirement is high lighting :? For the people that have them, how many WPG do you guys have?

Gouramis are known to sometimes be aggressive

The reason why you wont find anywhere else online that sells full co2 tanks is because its illegal to do so. It is illegal to send full tanks of co2 due to the risk of them being punctured *contents under pressure* I used to play alot of paintball which uses co2 tanks and if you go to online...

Oh Im quite excited lol. Received a letter in the mail today that the PVAS (Pioneer Valley Aquarium Society) will be holding its annual auction on February 13th. You know what this means!? New fishies for meeeee. Im looking to put most of my tetras up for sale and see what is up for auction and...
