I decided I wanted to get a 2nd tank and wanted to keep it simple so I decided to try my hand at a planted nano tank. I have had my eye on dwarf puffers ever since I saw one so I figured I would start up a 5 gallon planted tank and get one. I added java moss, java fern and riccia along with a...

I recently bought a tank off craigslist, cycled it, and added fish. Now that i've looked around at other peoples tanks I notice that the glass on my tank isn't very good, there are scratches and the sides almost look milky as you look through them. I want to switch to a brand new tank but use...

My cycle took a setback right before my fish were shipped to me so I had no choice but to put them in my tank. I have .25-.5ppm nitrIte and I'm wondering if my fish are just going for the bubbles cause they are hungry or if they are gasping for air? it seems to only be my Acei that are doing it...

Just added fish to my new tank. Yellow labs, rusty's and yellowtail acei, let me know what you think! YouTube - ‪55g Malawi Mbuna Cichlids‬‏

Hey guys, I have been fishless cycling my 55gallon for over a month now. I run an emperor biowheel filter. I recieved one or the four filter pads off another cycled tank as well as a biowheel off a cycled tank. I have been able to dose ammonia to 4ppm+ and have it go to 0 after a short while...

Hey guys, just got the rocks for my Mbuna tank curious what you guys think of it. It's all limestone. I plan on having 1m/4fm of Rusty/Yellow Lab/White Top Hara hoping this will be a good home for them.

Hey guys, I had been doing a fishless cycle for a few weeks on my 55gallon with no seeded material. About a week ago one of my coworkers agreed to put one of my filter cartridges and one of my bio wheels on his tank to get some bacteria growth on it and yesterday I added that material to my...

Hey guys, I have a zebra danio that has been acting very aggressive towards my other 2 smaller danios, which is odd because they used to all swim around together. When I looked closer I noticed a white thing protruding from behind one of his bottom fins, perhaps where they pee/poop from? Since...

Hey guys I'm planning a 55g cichlid tank and I want to get the opinions of some experienced cichlid owners. My two favorite cichlids are the Yellow Lab and the Demasoni and from what I've read so far those two could work together. My idea right now is for 6 Labs 1 male 5 females but I'm not sure...

Hey guys, just picked up a 55 gal off craigslist and now I'm kinda lost. I have a 20 gallon doing it's cycle right now and I had planned on just having that tank but now that I have a 55 I need to get some ideas of how to stock it. For my 20gal my plan was cardinal tetras/dwarf gourami/otto...

Hey guys, I'll admit I'm a real noob at this. I got a siphon from petco that you basically shake underwater and it's supposed to start siphoning water out. My problem is (I have a 20 gallon) that it works well for the first few gallons but when my water level gets lower it refuses to prime...

Hey guys just started my first tank and figured I'd make a thread (with pics!) to discuss it since I'm sure I will run into issues. I'd like to preface this with I recently started reading about aquariums and I am by no means an expert so if anyone has any opinions/advice about what I plan on...

Hey everyone, I was searching around for some info on how to start up a fish tank and ended up at these forums and figured I'd join. Just bought a 20 gallon tank and added water to it tonight (doing freshwater), I plan on starting to cycle it tomorrow. So far just having the tank up and running...
