    20 Gallon Community Tank

    This is my newest tank I've been working on. I've had it set up and cycled for a little over a month and a half. Originally, I was planning on putting my male betta in here with the snail. But, when I moved him in he became sick. I removed him from the tank and put him back into his old 5 gallon...

    sick betta?

    Ok so I've had my betta since Feb 2011. He's been in a 5 gallon tank with a mystery snail. About a week and half ago I moved him to a newly cycled 20 gallon tank. Parameters were: ph 7.5 (same as other tank), ammo-0, nitrite-0, nitrate-5. Only difference was that in 5 gallon tank I had trouble...

    My New 55 Gallon Cichlid Tank

    My tank finally finished cycling last week. Danios were given to neighbor and I purchased 3 yellow labs on Friday. I was hoping all 3 were female. One became very aggressive to the others so I returned him to the LFS yesterday and picked up 3 new fish. So as of now this is what's in my tank and...

    5 gallon betta tank

    Thought I would post some pics of my 5 Gallon bow front. It currently houses 1 male betta, a yellow male fancy guppy and a gold mystery snail. I used to have 2 guppies in the tank but I found one dead and stuck to the filter a few weeks ago. Water conditions have been stable, so I'm not exactly...

I decided to add a few danios (6) to help speed things up and still no change (so no longer fishless). They are even doing fine as well. Yesterday I did a 25% water change. what else can...

    Cichlid compatibility

    I am in the middle of fishless Cycling my 55 gallon and want to start a cichlid tank. I would love to get some yellow labs. How many is a good number? And what other cichlids would make good tank mates? Any suggestions on male/female ratio or could i have all males? I have found many mixed...

    New tank what kind of fish get along best?

    My husband and I just got a 55 gal. No fish yet. We are going to try fish less cycling first. But I'm trying to decide on what fish to get. What gets along with red tailed sharks? How about angelfish? Or we are possibly considering electric yellow cichlids. These are just some fish we like. We...
