So...I have a mystery to solve. I have a fish tank in which I have a parrot fish, a bumblebee fish and 2 black convicts...and whole bunch of black convict babies. All if these fish are aggressive, especially the black convicts because of the babies. So, until I can separate them by putting some...

I ended up doing a massive water change and things are looking a lot better. The tank was my main focus for today and I'm thankful to have been able to get it back up and running smoothly. So many good ideas and suggestions! Thank you! Now I can think about restocking it! I want to go in a...

Thanks Quest84... I did cover them with a blanket but the biggest problem I had was that I was not here to actually keep checking on them. We live in a trailer that basically has no insulation so our family was taken in by a friend until our power came back on early this morning. I didn't know...

I live in PA and this past week, as I'm sure most of you know, we experienced a storm that although many of us were prepared some of us were still caught off guard. I am one of those people who were prepared but unfortunately...my 29g freshwater tank was not. We lost power here for several days...

I will look into that...I recently moved and I'm still learning the area. Thanks for the tip.

Ooohhh...okay! I don't know that they'll make it since I have so many fish. I'm really not trying to grow my population...in fact, I'm trying to do the opposite. We'll see if they make it. Lol...I was getting ready to do my weekly wipe of the inside of my tank...I guess I need to wait.

Found these on the sides of my tank when I went to go feed my fish tonight. They weren't there this morning. What are they? What sticks to the side of the tank like that? I've never seen that before. In my tank I have guppies, platys and Cory cats.

I've been in the process of moving and I had to move my tank today. I moved my fish about an hour north...they did really well. On the other hand, I had to euthanize my 10g tank. Honestly, it was just too many of them and where I moved to is just too small for a second tank. Unfortunately...

Ya know...I read the title and the first thing that popped in my head was... "One day, at band camp..."

I just went out and bought some Prime today. I'll be switching over to that...however, I don't think that having too much ammonia and nitrate in the water is a problem with the tank. My tank is cycled...that was an extremely long process. Too many fish? I don't know...maybe but that doesn't...

This tank has 17 guppies, 6 platy (4fry) and 3 Cory Cats. It started with 6 Cory Cats but 3 died.

Nicely appropriate...fits with the theme. I'll add it to the list. Thanks!

Lol...except, I don't have any shrimp in my tank...for now.

Oooo...I like 'Journey to the Center of the Tank'...I'll have to add that to my list!

Thanks...

So, I moved my blog from my tumblr (although I'm keeping that one) to a WordPress Blog. The name of my WordPress blog is Freshwater Pirate but I need a good tagline. Currently, to hold the place, I'm using... Adventures in the Aquarium Hobby! Kind of lame, if you ask me. Anyone have any...

Yep. A 10g (my first tank) and a 29g which I am working through some issues with at the moment. Also, a 55g, although it's not setup yet. I plan to set that up sometime in 2012. Right now, I have nowhere to put anything else. I live in an apartment and have no more space...sadly. I soo want a...

Oh yeah...I'm also using a Marineland Emperor 280 filter that I just installed yesterday and it is running along side of my Aqueon 30 as I acclimate it to the tank. In my Marineland, I am using the cartridge with the activated carbon installed. I'm also using Zeolite as my secondary filter...

I too am having a tough time keeping my nitrates down. I've started doing daily water changes and that hasn't really helped. So, I decided to test my nitrates out of the tap and they level off at 20ppm from the tap. Also, my ammonia never goes below .25. I can't get it down to save my life and...
