Just wondering what you guys think. I'm leaning towards yes. Sorry I couldn't get an overhead.

I have a huge dominant loaches, that is killing my other loaches. He will not stop harassing them. He has already killed one and from what I can see is about to kill the other one. Fortunately he is a little bigger then the last one. I have a 55 but have ran out of funds, it wasn't a problem...

Isn't it nice to know your plants are doing well!!!

Well I just got a used, new for me xp4 from foste53. Really nice guy even met me half way. But..., how should I layer the filtration pads? If I have the sponges on the bottom, I have to take out every layer. Anyone have a solution or advice on how you clean the sponges during a tank cleaning...

Moving my 29 tomorrow because the 55 that was supposed to ne ready isn't. Is there anything I should remember? I have plenty of prime, 2 established filters and a sterilte trash can for my 17 little fish. Just don't wanna forget anything..... :)

I'm moving into a new house, its a little old and I guess I'm looking for reaffirming thoughts but will my floor hold my 55 gallon? It's a lot of weight but my landlord doesn't think it will be an issue. Only one end of the tank will be on a cement wall but it's back is sharing a wall with our...

Apparently my lfs had a rare white devil. Just thought I share it with everyone, I believe it was trying to eat the common pleco next to it.

What type of spray paint should I use for my background? Planning on doing it tomorrow, someone told me krylon. Probably gonna do black, anything else i should know?

My girlfriend wants anglefish. I keep reading that just a pair is a bad idea. Is this true? If it isn't I would want angles in with a pair of bolivian rams, maybe a pair of apistos and serpae tetras. (already have 6) And probably my zipper loaches (have 3 already.) I will make the loaches...

Just wondering what everyone's thoughts on which would be better. My 55 has a plastic bar in the middle of the top of the tank, I'm debating whether I should just get 1 four foot two bulb light or 2 seperate two foot lights on fishneedit. The only difference in the lights is the 4 foot fixture...

Moving tomorrow, but I have a new 55 gallon to set up!

I am currently looking for a larger fish tank, probably 4 feet long because I am feeling limited by my 29 gallon tank. Craigslist in my area is barren as far as fish tanks go. I can find a 90 gallon tank with a canister filter for 90 bucks, but I can't find a 55 for under $150. I think the 90...

Just had a death today. First one in sometime. It was the female sapphire blue ram I purchased about a month ago. She was a good fish, but probably had bad genetics because of overbreeding. I have bought all of my fish from the same LFS and the rams are just plain weak. I have lost 2 females and...

I am looking for a new camera, so I can show you all my fish! I have been looking for a DSLR, but am afraid it may be to much camera. (and also afraid of the price tag.) Does anyone have a suggestion for a user friendly, advanced camera? I am looking to hopefully keep it around $300 and the...

I put in golden white clouds not to long ago, and they are proving to be tough, interesting little fish. Obviously, I wanted to know if I have a pair or more participating in mating? The two pairs are pretty much syncronizing and swimming right next to each other and they will dart and flair...

My planted tank is on the right track, and will have plenty of available places to hide. So, my question is would a calico or albino bristlenose be ok in my tank? or would shrimp work? My stocking list will be: 10-12 Golden White Clouds 6-8 Serpae Tetra Pair of Blue Rams 3 Zipper Loaches 1...

Today I went to the LFS and picked up 6 golden white clouds! Really neat fish, my serpae actually seem to really like them too. Anyone have any expirence with these guys? I have a tropical tank and I know white clouds prefer cooler water but the LFS said they can range in temp. thinking about...

Hi, just looking for a good top level fish that would fit into my 29 gallon planted tank. I just got new lights so I am letting everything grow in, but I am itching to get possibly another school in the tank. So far I have, 1 male blue ram, soon to have a female. 6 serpai tetra/ nippy bunch...

Today was a BIG day in my tank! :fish2: I purchased and finally received my new T5HO 2 bulb kit, and couldn't be happier with it! Thanks to fishneedit.com I got it for cheaper than I thought I could. Which brings me to my questions, is there anything special needed to really make the chain...

I just ordered a 2 bulb fixture from fishneedit.com! I am excited because I have desperately needed more light for my 29gal. My one question is, if I have more light will I need to add a powerhead into my tank? It is planted and hopefully will fill in with more light, I dose excel, flourish...

Well, as of a week ago, my tank had zero problems. But now my female ram has died.... I have no clues as to why. She looked poor on friday, still eating, and actively looking for food, but sitting in the corner most of the day. Saturday same deal. Sunday I did my weekly water change, but she...

I have been doing my research on lights for quite a while... I wanted LEDs... BUT... I want to upgrade to probably a 2 foot 2x24 watt T5HO light it is for my 29 gal. The prices for T5HO lights on pet shop websites some are waayyyyy too expensive for a lowlight tank. I have been looking at...

If the power does go out all over the midwest like it sounds like it might... What do I do without power and no generator to get power back on to my fish tank? Any Advice? Hopefully the power just won't go out. Quick Answers?

I was looking online at LED lights. I found a set of white LEDs and am considering the idea of them. Just not sure of the company but the lights look awesome and they have received pretty good reviews. Let me know your opinions. Drew

Anyone out there have a good story about how your fish or inverts eat? I was just sitting downstairs doing homework, my light turned off so I decided to put an algae wafer in. I watched and was amazed. The fish were almost more active in battling for the position on the wafer then when they get...
