Right on thanks. Seems like common knowledge after hearing it :) I appreciate your help

Thanks. Yeah I'm actually rehoming my oscars from a 55 g to a 125 that's just about cycled. So I should definitely take time to acclimate them? Instead of just scooping them out with a net and right into the other tank

Im guessing the best and less stressful way to do it is to just do it?

I'm no expert but I just picked up a juvenile green terror. Looks alot like that guy there. My guess is it's some kind of south American cichlid

I dig it. I like the sand. I'm using sand as my sub for the first time. Got any tips in avoiding the mess it creates when you do water changes?

SO recently I got a 90 gallon tank :) I wanted to go with sand as a substrate because I've never used it and I like the look. I just did my first water change on it's long way to cycling. Sand is messy! Am I going to have to deal with a bucket load of sand and the cloudiness of the tank every...

Hmm I hope the ich attack works, I'm currently using the same product, been for four days and I don't see ich on my fish now. I'm going to keep using it for a week or until the bottle is gone, but hearing all this I really have my fingers crossed

When it's falling apart, awesome that's gonna save me money. Darn you pet stores!!

Yay first ich battle :( So I got ich, been fighting it for a few days with ich attack. Seems to be working. I know you still have to medicate for a week or so after it seems gone but my question is, I'm doing a 30-40% PWC every other day, should I be changing the water AND vacuuming the gravel...

Atleast it's a full view

Wow I didn't realize I uploaded that shot lol. As for fish, 3 mollies, 2 Chinese algae eaters, 2 gourami, 5 danios 6 tiger barbs 1 rainbowshark and a Senegal bichir that I'm giving away soon

Hmm, very interesting. I think I'll havta research the lil guys

Here she blows!

So I've seen a few people talking about snails, are they a pest or are they helpfull in the tank. Never thought about snails in the tank hehe

Ahhh i see, never knew of different acclimation methods, I will definitely be doing that for any other fish I get

55 gallon, and it's cycled. As far as acclimation I put the bag in the water for 30 mins then let em loose

So I've had the lil fella in the tank for 2 days and I'm sure he's still gettin over the stress of moving, but he's hiding all day, not coming out even for food. There's a decent amount of hiding spots and noones harassing it. Is this normal or should I be concerned?

Went with a rainbowshark instead, thanks again for your help everyone

I'm really glad I found this site, you guys are soooo much more helpfull than the stores

Well thanks for the advice, I think I'll stay away from em, maby get a red tail or a rainbow instead :)

Anyone have experience with them? My questions are, how big will they get, and are the good in a community tank? I have a 55 gallon w/ 2 gourami, 6 tiger barbs, 3 mollies, 2 Chinese algae eaters and 1 small Senegal bichir( whom I'm looking for a new home). Do you think 2 balls would be fine in...

Btw he's tiny now, maby 2 1/4 inch long

Another question from a newb ;) How long will it take my bichir to get big enough to eat the other fish, I would like to keep him if I can get a tank and cycle it( which I'm sure I'd have ample time to do) but it'd be nice to know a rough estimate

Yea bichir my bad, I've read alot of they'll be alrights and they won't bes

Hi there, I'm a newb to aquariums so lemme tell ya my set up. I have a 55 gallon planted tank that's been goin on for about 2 1/2 months, added 3 mollies first then2 gold gourami (wish I had this site first) one gourami bullies the other a bit but they seem ok. Added 2 Chinese algae eaters then...
