Just a comment on the cories as a clean up crew. Im not saying its like this is all cases, but when i got a school of sterebais(spelling may be off) for my 28 gal to be a "clean up crew" they didnt really touch the junk at the bottom and went after the fresh bloodworms/pellets/flakes fed at...

I've had my bn plecos on two different types of sand for years and they're fine.

They were probably dyed to look better. And now the dye is wearing off.

And I think I put this in the wrong area... Oops. :(

Alright so I have a pretty densely planted 28 gal, that has just been pretty much stripped of fish due to my friend starting her 55 gal and giving my pictus and upside down cats a better home. Anyway, I'm left with a trio of sword tails and one male betta. I was thinking of going with smaller...

When you're at your friends house (who also has a tank, but has no hot clue how to care for it) 3-5 times a week fixing SOMETHING they manage to unknowingly mess up because you're worried about their fish. The latest was she thought that ammonia was good for her tank, after I'd told her the...

I've been thinking and I might just leave the corals out until I get a feel for sw. I'm thinking FOWLR.

Alright so after some thinking, I've decided to use my 28g fw tank. My friend is starting up a 55g fw and loves my stock so I figured I'd sell my babies to her ( I trust her with my life, that's the only reason I'm comfortable with this). My pictus would love the much needed extra room so it's...

Parameters!! I totally forgot to ask about parameters!! Is 8.2 a good ph??

So where do I start?? After four months of "maybe later" and "soon" I've given up on my dreams of a 150 gallon frontosa tank. For now. Anyhow I've chosen to focus on a completely new path in the aquarium hobby: nano reef keeping. My mom loves my freshwater tank but thinks its too dull to keep in...

Wow that looks really great! :), I can't tell but does the pond have any sort of filtration?

Alright so I've gotten bored of my kribs( and my friend has been wanting a pair for ages). So I have decided to convert their tank to a fbn/fbt tank. I currently have a aquaclear 30 on the tank and plan on using it for the new enclosure. Has anyone ever made an extension for the intake? If so...

Just a question I have about neons and dropsy, wouldn't they not pine cone since they're a scaleless fish? Or at least I'm pretty sure they are...

My new bedroom in my basement finished So that I can set up my 150g frontosa tank. (which I already have the components for).

Thats what I thought. My cousin uses ro/di water for hers. They are SUPER picky.

Yeah I know. Totally my fault. ~headdesk~

Aren't rams a little too delicate to go in with Africans?

Well, I'm not going to say that I wasn't warned. My lone male convict went on a killing spree last night in my tank. :'( he killed all three of my bn plecs, an upside down catfish and two swordtails. This arrangement was only supposed to be for about a week or so to give me time to find him a...

You could do a school of small tetras. Maybe some cories?

Did you mean cichlid? If so, what kind?

Wow! That slate looks awesome! I wish I could find rock like that where I'm from!

A Jack Daniels bottle? How did you get the fish in there?!?! Lol.

Oh and I paid $8.50 for 50 pounds at a sandblasting shop. It's 10 bucks for 5 pounds at my lfs.

One thing I noticed about the sand was that it is kind of sharp, idk if you noticed this BI80. My fish are fine and it doesn't affect them at all but when working with it it's a good idea to wear gloves. And when rinsing it there'll be some filmy rainbow looking stuff that comes to the top. It's...

I just switched over to that! Absolutely love it! My convict turned almost black over it!
