    Why are my cories dying?

    Hi All. I've lost three cories over the last few months - two just recently, and I have no idea why. The first cory died back in march, after I upgraded tanks. I figured it was due to moving tanks. Everything was fine again until today, when I went to change and clean the tank and found...

    Help me finish stocking my tanks, please? *pics*

    Hi all - I have a 20 long and a 10 gallon tank that I want to finish stocking. First, the 20 long. I currently have five peppered cories, five harlequin rasboras, and one neon blue gourami in it: I've been thinking about cherry barbs, black skirt tetras, or celestial danios, but am...

    Rasbora Het with swollen belly? Help please! I lost a cory already!

    Hi all - I just noticed tonight that one of my rasbora hets has a swollen belly. Here's a picture: What could be wrong? What should I do? I'm going to go research online more, but I wanted to ask here first. I'm extra concerned because two days ago when I cleaned my tank, I found what...

    I completed the fishless cycle on my 20 gallon long and got four peppered Corys Saturday evening. So far, they seem quite happy: The tent was chosen by my six year old, and she was so excited when some of the fish hid inside. I was hoping to get some opinions on when I might add some...

    Woo-hoo! I think my tank is almost cycled...and a pH question

    I think I'm almost there! Looking forward to seeing some actual :fish2: :fish1: in the tank. Tested yesterday, ammo was about 1ppm, nitrites 5+ppm, nitrates 80ppm. Dosed ammo back up to 4ppm. This morning, ammo was 0ppm, nitrites and nitrates both were off the scale, so I did about a 50 -...

    I thought fish were supposed to be calming. This is *not* calming.

    So, two weeks ago, we decided to get fish. I posted here ("Help me get started?" thread), got some advice, and went about getting the things I needed. Supplies arrived in the mail, set up my tank. Realized the air wand and air pump needed tubing. Went and bought tubing. Then saw I needed a...

    Help me get started?

    Hi all! I am hoping to get some advice before making the plunge into aquarium owning. My six year old has been begging for a fish, and I want to make sure we provide a happy, safe environment. I've poked around a bit, but if there is a "how to get started" link I missed it. Please direct me...
