I just wanted to pay respects to the fish that started me in this hobby. Literally. If not for him, I would have never found my passion, joined this site and taken this hobby so seriously. I recieved him in a measly jar on September of 2010. From that point forward it was my mission to create...

As some of you may know...I have been off and on this site for a while...Well, now I'm back again. Hopefully for good. Unfortunately I tend to get distracted and I lost sight of my passion for awhile...Partly because I haven't changed my tank since I've set it up. It gets boring staring at a...

Just thought I'd give a heads up. :fish2: That Pet Place in Lancaster, PA is having a sale on all Marineland tanks. $1 per gallon. Get em' while they last. Starts September 1st. In store only. Now I won't feel so bad about starting a few new tanks. :D

I started this thread elsewhere and another member told me to move it to get more responses :) I seen these 2 dancing around for awhile. The other week I was finally able to catch them in the act. Haha. Lately they've been doing it almost nightly. I'm not exactly sure what they're doing. I...

So as some of you may know, I had a thread before but..... I decided to start a new one. My last one is outdated and all of the pics were deleted. Let's try this again. :whistle: I will start from now and continue forward. This is how the tank looked over the past weekend (8/06/11) after a...

I picked up 5 of these little guys last week and was so impressed I went back to get 3 more. It is so interesting being able to see inside of them. Kind of creepy too. Apparently these are the albino version. Those menacing black eyes will give you nightmares. :ermm:

I seen these 2 dancing around for awhile. The other night I was finally able to catch them in the act. Haha. I'm not exactly sure what they're doing. I thought someone here might be able to help. My guess is they are "flirting" YouTube - Dancing Glowlight Danios - 1 YouTube - Dancing...

I'M BACK! :fish2: I couldn't stay away...haha...The 55 gallon has been up since October 2010 and everything is going great. Thanks again to everyone here. I stuck through all the mistakes and it has paid off immensely. My occupants as of 8/3/2011 (4) Otocinclus (3) Puntius titteya (2)...

Well....The "Microbe-Lift Special Blend" and "Nite-Out II" seems to have done it's job. Not without a few lost lives though. :sad: I added the stuff on November 16th and last night, (one week later), my test results were. PH: 7.6-7.8 Ammonia: 0ppm Nitrites: 0ppm Nitrates: 40-50ppm I started...

Well I stopped by the LFS last night. They said they couldn't give me any gavel or filter media from an established tank. :sad: Anyways. I talked to 2 different employees in 2 different departments. 1 in the fish room and 1 on the floor where they sell the supplies. They both recommended a...

when I click "user CP" then "attachments" under miscellaneous it won't let me edit my attachments. It let me in once, I deleted a few pictures and now I can't get back in. I didn't realize you could only upload a certain amount of pics. If I delete my pictures from your server will they be...

What is this? It is all around the bottom edge of my aquarium. It is worse in the "sandbox" area. Is it safe to clean it off or should I wait until my cycle is complete? I have OCD and it's driving me bonkers. :mad:

Not the best pictures, but I tried. :) Does anyone know what this is or what is causing it? I just noticed it last night.

I seen my LFS has these. Anyone have any experiences with them? I was tossing around the idea of adding a few plants to my tank and these look awesome! (I know, I swore I wasn't going to go planted, but all this waiting for my fishless cycle has got me thinking. :p) My main reason is to try...

So I was at a wedding a few weeks ago and to make a long story short. I was the proud recipient of a new Betta. I gladly excepted because I figured I could give him a good home, but for the last 3 weeks he's been in a 1 gallon jar and I feel HORRIBLE. Surprisingly he seems happy, has no problem...

I decided to go the fishless route and use ammonia. I consider myself an animal lover so I saw no other way, and there is no way I'm letting shrimp rot in my living room. haha.:) I was lucky enough to locate an Ace Hardware close to my house. They seem to be the ONLY place you can find clear...

So last night I finally got out my nifty API liquid master test kit and tested my tap water. Everything looks good except for my Nitrates. My test results were: PH: 7.4-7.8 (not exactly sure, colors are very close on chart) Ammonia: 0ppm Nitrite: 0ppm Nitrate: 40ppm What exactly am I supposed...

So....I think I finally have the layout of my tank planned. It took forever but I think it will be worth it in the end. I would like to create 2 "sandboxes" in separate areas for my cory's or loaches to dig and play. Since you can't buy adjustable retaining walls, I figured I'd do the next best...

Well, I got my new tank and stand home, set it in the perfect spot, and got the level out. Of course my floor is unlevel, I didn't expect it to be perfect. So as my tank sits, no water, no gravel, nothing, it's got a wobble. A scary wobble. Honestly, I'm to paranoid to go any further. Im...

Hey everyone! After years of thorough research I have finally decided to take the plunge....again. This time I WILL do it right. I'm not new to the fish keeping hobby, but I feel like I have a better, more informed mindset this time around. My father had a large fish tank when I was younger...
