Hi everyone, I have been doing ALOT of research and looking at pictures etc and I think I finally determined what kinds of fish I was given with the tank- This is what I have-- 1- 6in Common Pleco (I know, I shouldnt have a Common but he/she was given to me with the tank & is about 4 yrs old)...

I bought the tank from someone that was giving it away on Craigslist... so I cant bring it back..

I am not sure what I should do if anything at all. I noticed when I was setting my tank up after I brought it home that my pleco has a hole about the width of a pencil in his fin. what should I do?

Yes the water as well as the sides of the tank and the light undercover had algae all over it. at the LFS I bought Aquarium Pharmaceuticals Stress Coat Aquarium Water Conditioner- What else to I need to do? This is my first tank ever so I dont know anything about checking levels etc. The...

HEELLPPP!! I went to pick up the fish tank that I was given and when I got there, there were green algae EVERYWHERE!!! What it a brown/green color.. I was told by the LFS that I have to do a partial water change... How do I get rid of the green!! and the water color??? Please hurry!! Wanna save...

What about some Pink Kissing Gourami's? How do you think they will do??? & the goldfish i was talking about is the fancys

Thank you so much It will help alot!! Am I able to mix some goldfish in? And black moor.. ??

like this one but more blue, brighter! like this too

I will look in to it. thanks for the info.. :-) My mistake I think the ones with the tails are actually the Guppies :silly: lol Geeze I have alot of reading to do!! I dont know basically anything about fish!! I guess I am gonna learn as I go,.... thank god for this site :B-fly:

Yes!! There are a couple of those as well as one with blue tales. What are those?

Yes there is 2 maybe 3. I was just given the tank, I will bringing it home on Sunday.. I will be adding more fish asap! The woman that has it now clearly didnt do any reading on the fish she bought. She just went and bought a couple (2 or 3) of each type. I am trying to right her wrong :-)

I believe the other tetras are Congo Tetras.. not exactly sure tho. They look kinda like an Angel fish. male i believe, pretty blue tails.

I do too!! Hopefully he/they will be more comfortable and happier while in my care.. :-) I am going to do my best

Yes, I know. Unfortunatly, the previous owners of the tank (I was just given it) didnt pay any mind to which breed they were purchasing. She said she just wanted an algae eatter and bought it. Sadly she had him/her for 4 YEARS and it is only 6 inches. Therefore, I am told that his growth was...

hello, I have a 30 gallon freshwater tank that was given to me and I would like to add more fish, currently I have 2 african dworf frogs, 6 in common pleco, 3 guppies, a couple neons, a couple (2) other tetras. I would like to get some nice looking & colorful additions. Non- aggressive, any...

great! I have an ebay account so I will look them up thanks. Did you have to soak it for it to sink?

I Am reading alot about the driftwood... what would you all recommend for a common pleco? Is there one that isnt going to release so much tannins?

I Will DEFINATELY get some driftwood.. How do I know if it is parasites? And how do I treat it?

Oh ok.. she claims to have put a new filter in about 2 months ago, so hopefully this will work well. Its ok to do this with the fish in the tank? Or should I just add most of the old water (leaving enough for them in the bucket of course), & remaining with tap mixed with the proper chemicals...

I do have one other question for now.... When she moved the rock cave to show me the Pleco, ALOT of stuff floated around. More than when I saw before she moved it. Wasnt black was white/clearish sort of slimmy looking stuff. Now when I move the tank to my new place should I do a complete water...

This is the pic she sent me via text... very decieving

I agree I will have to work on that. *sigh*:cry: I dont think she knew what she was doing.It was obvious that she wanted them just to have them. There isnt much in her tank.. no plant one rock cave and a castle type thing in the corner, brown gravel and a stick on coral thing that sticks on the...

She claims to have had it about 4 yrs and it is only about 6 inches... does that sound right? From what I am gathering they grow quick.. you would think he would be bigger, no?? How big is too big for my size tank? I want him/her to be comfortable. I Will definatley get some wafers and...

OK so I saw the pleco today and the person that I am getting the tank & fish from doesnt know what kind it is... she said she just went to the store and bought a algae eater.. From looking at it, it is about 6 inches long and only has 2 little bristles or tentacles which ever you want to call...
