    Denison Barbs Swimming on Bottom

    thats a good thought and I didnt think about that much. They do eat any chance they get and my tank never has any algae at all in it. Just because of low lighting and water conditions.

    Angel Fish Tank Set Up

    No idea what size tank this is. I have a trio of breeding gold vail angels. They are fully grown and are at least 12"+ tall. Depending on the tank size you may consider not doing vail angels. The two plants look like amazon swords to me. Mine eat anything I put in the tank.

    Denison Barbs Swimming on Bottom

    Alright last question for me today. Looking for some info on Denison Barbs. I have 7x that are fully grown. Everything I read online says they should stay on the top or middle of the tank however mine are ALWAYS swimming on the very bottom just above the substrate. I have tried things like...

    Plant and Light question 220g

    Well, I am considering large amazon swords because I have 4x that are massive. They are over 2ft tall and about 2 feet wide in water. So I dont think they will uproot those even when adults and I dont think my silver dollars will be able to eat more then the growth they have. The reasons they...

    Looking to add some really large amazon swords to my 220g. Currently I have a 4bulb t5ho over it. Do you think that will keep the swords happy/healthy? Its just a cheap Odyssea 4x 80w t5ho

    Clever's 220g

    thank you for the concern but I do have a contact there that I have spoke with. If for some reason they dont want to take it when the time comes because this will be years down the road I have plenty of LFS that I am sure would be interested in having one in a show aquarium.

    Clever's 220g

    Here is my tank. Was a reef tank but I decided to build a new reef tank and convert this one to freshwater. It's been running for a little over a year. Originally was only doing South America Amazon tank but the rose line barbs destroyed that concept. Fish: 3x gold vail angels - full grown...

    Please ID this Pleco

    Ty for the complement on his health. He is very active. Always swimming around the bottom of the tank and never hides. Majority of the time he is also displaying his fins. Think this is due to his tank mates. 3 gold vail angels, 7 young red line geophagus, 1 adult threadfin geophagus, 7 adult...

Hard to tell in the picture but the top tip of his tail fin is orange/red Pretty sure he's just a leopard pleco but he just looks different then...

    Looking for Cansiter Filter Suggestion for 220g

    I have a fluval canister filter rated for a 75 gallon tank. Maybe ill stuff that baby full of filter floss and see if it does the job and if not Ill get something bigger. I mean its cloudy water I cant even see the back of the tank.

    Looking for Cansiter Filter Suggestion for 220g

    Anyone ever seen the Aquatop CF series? Looking at the 400, its only recommended for up to 175g tanks so I am not sure if thats enough but its only 150$ right now. and has a "UV serializer" never been much of a believer in UV so I dont care much about that.

    Questions about Thread Fin Acara

    I picked up 3 Thread Fin Acaras from my LFS that someone brought in. They are about 6-7" long and I put them in my 220g tank. Now this tank is a south american tank so its sand and live plants. I was searching for Geophagus altifrons for months and gave up as no one could get me any for a decent...

    Well its been a month and Ammonia stills tests off the charts because of the Powersand/soil. Will keep doing water changes and hope that it levels out soon. I ended up getting my co2 system it will be up and running once this never ending cycle finishes.

    Tips for an Amazon Biotope

    I suggest a Pleco over Ottos because when I think of the amazon river one of the first fish that pops into my mind is a pleco. Also if you have driftwood you can get a pleco that eats drift wood and it will keep the wood nice and clean. I also think they are a good way to put a unique fish into...
