MY son loves lobsters. He doesn't understand the difference between different invertebrates. So I thought he might enjoy a crayfish or some bamboo shrimp in my 55gal tank. It has been up and running for two years and should have enough food in the water column for the bamboo shrimp. I was...

Is there is cure?

I have recently come across a paddle tail eel at my favorite fish store. I am just about to start researching them, but I was looking for feed back from anyone that has one. How well do they do in a community tank of peaceful fish? I have small gravel for substrate, with two HOB's (aqua clear...

My husband and I want to do an in the wall tank build. We are going to do the construction ourselves, but as I started to look at custom tanks I realized how outrageously priced they are. A quote of $2000 for the tank alone is going to squish this dream. Does anyone know of a good place to go...

Tonight, just after feeding time, my son and I were watching the fish eat. I noticed a tiny panda cory come out from under a small plastic grass thing we have.:thumb: Then I saw a second one.:dance: I only saw two so I'm assuming there are a few more. They are a little over 1/4in long. does...

Best way to treat this? I am doing a PWC as we speak and have done a lot of research, so I'm pretty sure it's columnaris. I am hopeful, but we shall see. I am also going to clean out the filter and hoses, I think it's over due. So besides daily PWC's what treatment do you recommend. Tank...

Used set up from an acquaintance. Their brother passed and thy didn't want to throw it out but they told me it was a 115 gal but it's only a 55gal. Was used for SW. only thing I don't have is a heater because it broke when transferring everything. 55gal tank Metal stand Digital thermometer...

Went away on vacation and came home to this. We were gone for 4 days and I will post water parameters tomorrow because I need to pick up a new kit. I have been up for almost 26 hrs at this point so a PWC is out of TE question until tomorrow morning. There are two small spots on both sides of her...

Today while doing my water change I noticed one of my female congos was stuck in a spiral shell. It is a real sea shell that has been in the tank longer than she has and has dissolved somewhat leaving an opening small enough for her to get part way out but not all the way. I have since removed...

So I have been trying to get a post up since mother's day but I have been WAY too busy. Anywho, my husband and son were awesome and brought me fish shopping for the day! :fish2: It was awesome. My son's tank is now full with 12 gold long finned danios, 6 congo tetras, and 7 panda cories (it's...

Hhhhhmmm I think one of my two ADF;s is dying and I think it's from the cleanign the tank yesterday. I was very careful to not injure them at all. And my water params are 0,0 and 0. and it's a ten gal. What do you think it could be?

I now that finals are over I have time to clean my tanks. The past three weeks I have been so busy with school and life in general that I haven't even had time for a proper PWC. Today I need to really clean the tank, which involves vacuuming under the "furniture" as well. Do you think I should...

Each morning I go into my son's room to wake him up I notice lots of activity. It seems I have a mating pair of congo tetras, but as she lays her eggs they are gobbled up by the danios, literarly. As she lays them our gold long finned danios swarm under her and I never see anything because...

He tank I picked up is only 55gal not 115gal. The people I picked it up from had lost their relative and where not sure what to do with it but could think of throwing it away. They wanted someone else to get the enjoyment out of fish to continue on. So I am not sure what to do now. Do you...

Actually landed a free tank with everything included on Craigslist. I am hoping everything is what it says it is when I get there. If all goes well it should be 115gal. This is the equivalent of all our tanks put together, minus 5 gal. Is there anything I need to know about bigger tanks? Right...

I am wondering what to finish off my son's 55gal with. Right now he has 8 long finned gold danios and 6 congo tetras. The tank is one year old and very stable with a slightly acidic pH. I was thinking a school of cory cats would look great, but I know next to nothing about them other than the...

Do you think the congos could eat the adult shrimp? I know when they molt they are very susceptible but otherwise what do you think?

Am finally nearing the end of my fish food and was wondering what people like to feed their omnivores when they are not serving bloodworms. I have congo tetras and giant and long finned danios.

around westchester ny would be best, but I am willing to pay for shipping.

I have absolutely no green thumb let alone an aquatic one, but I would like to add some more real plants to all three of my tanks. Right now I have banana plants in two tanks, the 10 gal and one of the 55's, java moss in the 55 with the banana and one anubis and two moss balls in the other...

I have a possibility of picking up a new tank from someone who just wants out of the hobby, but they claim to have angels and tiger barbs in the same tank. I have had tigers in the past and I'm familure with them. In my opinion the larger the school the less likely they are to pick on fish...

:fish1::fish2: I was just cruising craigslist (dangerous, I know) for aquarium supplies and someone is GIVING away a 75 gal full set up because they don't have time for the hobby anymore. It comes with everything but stand, which is ok for me, but it does come with some fish: angels, tiger...

Does anyone know anything about this?

I went away this weekend for my sister's baby shower and my husband just called to tell me that one of my giant danios is floating. Everything was great before I left, ammo 0, nitrite 0, nitrate <5, pH steady at 6.6 as always. Did a 50% PWC thursday before I left and this tank has been cycled...
