So within the past week I have lost 3 of my fish. I just tested my water and had a ph of about 6 ammonia between 0 and .25 nitrite of 0-.25 and a slightly high nitrate which is normal for the tank. I have dosed melafix and primafix the last 2 days. last week I lost a denison barb and today I...

So I have 2 angelfish about 5 years old. Until the week before thanksgiving they have been in the same tank. Then I found one on death's door and I rehabilitated him in a breeder box hanging on my other tank. Today he has finally recovered enough to be released into the main tank. He is not in...

sorry if this is in the wrong section. couldn't figure out where it would fit best. My local fish store is going out of business which is a total bummer but there is a small reptile store that is doing well and might be interested in starting to sell fish. I am interested in helping them get...

I am trying to decide what to do for the stocking in my new 55 gallon tank. I know I want a good size school of cories and a Pleco for the tank but that's about it so far. There is a possibility that one of my angelfish would be put in the tank if there are aggression issues in the other tank...

Today I got a Hong Kong Pleco. He is still quite small but they look cool when grown. I had him in my breeder box for acclimation and then ten minutes later I check on him and I found him in the tank. this pic shows how far below the overflow the water was when I found him out of the tank

I am starting to get my new 55 gallon tank ready. I plan to do a sand bottom and planted tank. How much sand should I use for the tank. I already have 40 lbs of sand in it now. Working on getting it cleaned now.

Today I got my new 55 gallon tank in place. Leak testing/weight testing my stand now. I won't have the new tank up and running till after Christmas most likely. I still need a light, top and sand for the tank.

Today I traded a 30 gallon tank I had for a 55 gallon tank with stand. Working on cleaning the tank up some now. Has some hard water deposits and stuff I want to try and get off

Let's see what everyone got for their tanks on Black Friday. I got a marineland 220 canister filter. Usually sells for $150 I got it for $62 today.

I have 2 of the measurements for this tank. 17" tall and 36" wide. I'm not sure of the length. Here is a pic of the tank. What size do you think it is?

I want to build a stand for 2 tanks. On top will be a 55 gallon and on bottom will be a 20 long. Here is pic of my design. Let me know what you guys think.

I just found a free 55 gallon tank on craigslist. Just the tank and the trim is pretty busted up and in need of replacement. I'm not sure what I'll do with it after I fix it up. But I am thinking of replacing the trim with this metal piece. Cut to have ends in the corners roused so there are no...

Last night I bought another tank off craigslist. 29 gallon tank full set up and stand for $60. Came with a box of extras including breeder box 2 decorations and an assortment of conditioning stuff. I haven't put the gravel in yet as I am running out to get another power strip.

Friday I am getting a used 29 gallon tank setup. It includes stand filters light and everything needed for the tank. I plan to use the tank as a breeding tank for peppermint Plecos. The whole setup was only $60

Just noticed my roommate's angelfish has some fin damage while I was doing a water change for her. To me it doesn't look like damage from being picked on because it's just the top fin. But I'm not sure. There is 1 other angelfish about the same size, 4 white clouds, 6 red glass barbs, 1 female...

I am interested in breeding some fish. I have a 20 long tank to use and possibly could upgrade to bigger tank later for breeding. I have a 55 gallon show tank as well. I have breed guppies in the past but that's not interesting, just put a male with 3 females and in 2 months you'll be over run...

I found an add on craigslist for a free tank. Stand and everything. I hope to hear back from him soon. The tank is currently running with fish. I wonder what fish there are in it. I'm guessing a common Pleco and something that gets too big for the tank

Lately I have been doing more routine water changes every week and testing my parameters. I always test my water after doing my water change. I have been getting varying levels of ammonia and 0 nitrites every time. I am on city water and tested it once and it shows that I have ammonia in the...

Pretty much what the title says. I'm not sure if this is enough. Lol.

I lost my bala to a dumb mistake the other day and am going to get something to replace him tomorrow since my roommate works at petsmart and has 30% off. I am thinking of getting 2 Denison barbs to add to the 3 I have already. The tank mates are 2 angelfish my 3 denison barbs 2 bristlenose...

I did a water change today and totally forgot to but the dechlorinater in. Now my bala is floating upside down. What can I do to save him. I added the stuff and mixed the water up. Any advice is helpful. All my other fish seem to be doing fine.

My roommate wants to build a custom cage for her snake and lizard so I am building a concept model of my idea right now. Could be used as an aquarium too. This is just 8"x4" to test the waterproof capabilities of my design. I am using thin acrylic for the reptile cages. Would have to use thicker...

I have a quick question about the filters I have on my tank. Within 2-3 days of putting in new filter cartridges it starts flowing through the overflow already. I was wondering why this is happening. It's a 55 gallon tank with 2 marineland 50 gallon hob filters.

I was wondering what would be the best way to drill a hole through the glass of the aquarium. Thanks

Tomorrow I am moving and I need to transport my fish and tank and its a 4 hour drive. I plan to use 5 gallon buckets 3/4 of the way filled with water and I have 2 battery air pumps. I am not sure what fish I should have together in a bucket. My stocking is 2 angels, 1 bala, 3 denisons barbs, 2...
