I have a tank that used to be planted but I decided to remove the plants because the fish wouldn't let them take root. They just rearranged as they saw fit, which is fine, lesson learned. I have planted tank substrate still in the take which over the past 2 years put root tabs in a number of...

Is there anything that those basic fish profiles from countless websites don't tell us about Firemouths? Are there any little quirks or stuff like that that a new Firemouth owner should know?? Anything is appreciated! Thanks

I wouldn't post about this if I could find answers, but, when scouring the interwebs I just can't find good enough answers. I have a 55g tank with a green severum who is about 5 inches..so not very big yet. The rainbow shark is in there as well and he is about 5 inches as well. It is my...

I am interested in making the switch from the commercial liquid ferts to dry ferts. My question is if I need to be using R/O water for dosing dry ferts or can I continue to use the water from my tap? Which is relatively hard water but not too hard.

Alright guys I need some help. I recently moved out of my parents house and into an apartment. My apartment isn't big enough for me to bring all of my tanks. Now, my parents are selling the house, and I still have some fish left over there. Fish that I couldn't bring to the apartment. I have...

The first one is my 40g long and the second one is my 20g. :thumb::popcorn:

Any idea what this could be guys? It's only on one of his gills. It's white/grayish and seems to be getting a little bit worse everyday. He is eating and behaving normally aside from small amounts of flashing. I really don't know how to describe it other than that. Any ideas?? Steve

So through some trial and error, I've found out that not everything can withstand the brutality of a Severum rearranging his own tank haha. He hasn't bothered with the plants I have attached to wood and the bigger leaved plants like Crypts. Does anyone have suggestions for plants I can add to...

My Fluval's flow rate has been dropping dramatically. I cleaned it, because it was due, and it seemed to help a little. Then, a couple days later, the flow was at a trickle. I then though the hoses may be clogged so I disconnected them and cleaned them which really seemed to help! Now, after...

Any ideas on what this big guy has??

Any opinions on the scape??

I've looked around on the internet but cannot decide what my severum has. I need some help. If you could look at the picture and offer advice, it would be greatly appreciated. The spots are just above his eye, and at the base of his fin. The one above his eye seriously resembles a pimple. The...

OK, so how does one tell the difference between Eleocharis parvula and Eleocharis acicularis? Do I just have to wait and see how tall it gets? I bought it a while ago and for the life of me I can't remember which one it is.. Thanks guys, Steve

Just wanted to show off my tank before I take it down because I'm moving! I'll be redoing it once I'm in my new apartment, any new suggestions are appreciated! Thanks

I'm interested in seeing people's predators. I can't afford a big enough tank at the moment but the thought of a "badass" killing machine seems pretty cool! Can anyone lead me in the right direction?? Steve:popcorn:

So my office has a 55 gallon non planted tank. It's looking a bit pathetic at the moment and I'm thinking about asking if the would let me/want me to re-do it for them! I'm about to move into a new apartment and unfortunately cannot bring ALL of the fish I currently have. I love these fish...

Will any of the commonly available fish medications kill Hydra? Can anybody help me get rid of them?? Thanks

I have a female kribensis cichlid who has just reached breeding age..i didn't donate her with the rest of the brood because she has a defect with her tail fin. She's perfectly healthy, just kept her because i didnt want to "pollute" the gene pool in the aquarium trade. I've come to the point...

So that was a pretty random and powerful "land hurricane" last night wasn't it??! Who else doesn't have power? What should we do?

So yeah I just picked uo some Java Moss and plan on attaching it to some driftwood. It wasn't very healthy at the LFS but usually the plants that I buy aren't and i bring them back to life. I am wondering if i should let the moss "come back" first, or if I can tie it to the driftwood now...

Got these two plants today, didn't have an sticker for them. The first one looks like some sort of pennywort i think. No clue what the second one is. Thanks guys!

I have an Aqueon Circulation Pump 500 and was wondering if there is a "DIY" type way I can slow the water flow down a little. My tank is that awkward size that the circulation is just a little too much. Plants are bent over from the circulation. Can I maybe purposefully clog some of the...

What type of Crypt is this?
