I started going through all the stuff that came with the aquarium and found a 12 inch air stone. I hooked it up, and now its in the back of my aquarium

I don't think any pet stores are open right now, but I'll try to pick one up tomorrow.

I don't have a power head. I've had the aquarium for almost 2 years, and it was an active aquarium before I bought it so I don't know exactly how long its been running. It is a 40 gallon tank that may be slightly overstocked (it came that way) with a few plants. Unfortunately Anacharis is the...

Hi all, I have a RenaFilstar XP1 (it came with the tank when I bought it). I was cleaning it out today, and as I brought it downstairs it slipped out and the case shattered. Basically, I need to know how long the fish can survive without a filter. I already ordered a new case since that was...

I have a white skirt tetra in my tank that has suddenly become very ill. I've had the tank, along with the fish for a 1.5 years, and there have been no major problems (1 ich breakout about a year ago). Suddenly one of my white skirt tetras can't seem to "float" any more. He looks like his...

thanks for all the input guys. Menagerie, I was more interested in a peaceful tank than a semi-aggressive. If thats the case, I imagine I'll have to say goodbye the the black shark, large cichlid and smaller cichlid. I would be disappointed to see those fish go, since the black shark and...

Thanks for all the help with the betta guys. Now, are there any more comments or suggestions for my whole tank. From what I've heard I need to change a lot of the fish that are in there, but I haven't heard where to begin or what needs to be changed. Thanks again Chris

what are labyrinth fish?

I didn't see any blood at all on my betta. There are just some white spots on the top of his head, like some flesh was damaged, but nothing too terrible I hope. Unfortunately I don't have a digital camera, but I can try to describe the cichlid. Here goes: He is a dirty gold color He has...

hmmmm, thats a tough decision. The cichlid is a really neat "centerpiece" for the aquarium, and he gets along fine with all the other fish but I"m worried he'll get aggressive, and it limits my choice of fish to only medium sized so as not to give him a free meal. The red tailed shark is...

I just bought a new tank from someone off of ebay. Its is an already established tank, and looks like its about 40 gallon. First of all let me list the fish that it came with. 1 6" cichlid 1 8" black shark 1 8" pleco 1 serpae tetra 2 cory cats 1 3" catfish 2 3" giant danios 1 red tailed shark...

Its good to hear I won't have to worry about oxygen with the filter. Any comments or suggestions from anybody about my choice of fish for the tank?

Will both filters cycle air into the tank, or will I need to get an pump or air stone. Sorry, I'm a complete newbie at this.

Whats the difference between a regular HOB filter and a Biowheel filter. I was looking at the Penguin 400, and it looked like a nice filter. I was also looking at the aquaclear 200 and 300. Which one would I need in a 40 gallon. Also would I be fine with either one of these filters or would...

Thanks for your help Yes, I do understand the nitrogen cycle. I thought that the zebra danios were pretty good to use at the beginning. I read somewhere that if you buy 2-3 danios that they should get the cycle started, and you can move up from there. Let me know if I was misled. Thanks.

Hi all, thanks for all the help you give to beginners. I plan on getting a new tank in the near future, about 40 gallons. What will I require in the way of filtering and heating. I've read the forums and many people talk about 2 filters, undergravel and hanging, and I don't know if this is...

Hi, I'm new to this site and completely new to this hobby. I haven't even bought my aquarium yet, I'm just kind of planning it right now. I plan on getting a fresh water 20 gallon or a little larger, and I have a few questions about bottom feeders. I'm really interested in the fiddler crab...
