    FFE: For Fish Entertainment

    Walk by, they go crazy following us around and they really like when the kids sit and stare at them I think they are doing a play maybe even putting on a circus.

    Horror story!!

    I wish I'd had a video camera seriously, I think he thought the filter did all the cleaning. I got nothing on why it never occured to put dechlorenator in, I have my doubts he even waited to put fish in. Where any possibility of the chlorine evaporating happened. My jaw had to be dragging as I...

    Horror story!!

    I was in our LFS today and this guy comes in screaming about how his fish keep dying and he wants new ones not from a chain, the conversation went like this What size? 55 How often do you change the water and how much? You mean I actually have to change it? I've had it up a year and there's just...

    Peas and Angelfish

    LOL Thank you, I wasn't to sure, I'd actually never heard of giving them a pea until I got on here I do have a structure at a 30* angle just in case she is pregnate

    Peas and Angelfish

    I have an angelfish that appears pregnate but I'm not sure I was kind curious if she is pregnate and I give her some pea will it hurt her? The other dumb question will it hurt the other fish? I can't see where it would hurt them.

    Setting up a new 30 gallon tank and changing a 5 gallon one

    Your filter looks like a Whisper to me, big thing if you want to use it make sure the propelor spins good. and it not rackety noisy mess because it won't work properly. And the filter cartridge fits properly My advice having aquired a few used tanks myself, ditch it and save the headache and get...

    What the heck???

    I would try vaccuming the water out of the bottom, may have a build up of food on the bottom plus taking it just from the top is just taking the water coming from the filter. You can pick up one from a pet shop pretty cheap.

    20 Gallon restocking, does this sound viable?

    Just read my oops thread. Gourami that I have to rehome this afternoon for going nuts he went nuts on my husband's angels. I do have 2 orange platties, he chased them around and nipped at them occationaly but if you got good cover for the most part they should escape. Just beaware to not put any...

    OOPS

    Your very right, didn't even think of that one. I guess I learned assumptions can be a bad thing I just assumed did it before no problems, would be the same this time.

    OOPS

    I've had a gourmie in with angels I was either really lucky and got a female or a layed back male gourmie. My gourmie started beating on my husband's angels (domestic dispute) last night. After seperating them, the gourmie into a tank not really suitable, for him. We had to figure out what to do...

    Marineland Heater Alert- Stealth and Stealth Pro's Recalled

    That's the funny part we went to Pet Smart because our normal pet store is an hour away, and they told us that this was normal (being on all the time)! because it was 100 watt in a 30 tall. I read up on it and did find out that it was about a 25 watts under what it should be, I refused to buy...

    new in forum, new to the aquarium hobby

    I have done new tank cycles with fish in it, I agree test the water regularly, DON'T get anymore fish for awhile, it's hard and tempting to just go full steam ahead the one pet shop I go to won't sell you a fish unless they test your water, I gotta give them that they really care. Hopefully they...

    New to everything!

    Welcome, I'm new here as well but have had aquariums since I was 10, I'm glad your not just plunging head first, and getting advice before. Most pet stores will just look for a sale, so find a locally owned and operated for the most part they want you to be successful, so you'll become a loyal...
