All is good so far. Im on my 3rd day of 86 degrees. Throughout the process the GBR has remained active and hungry. It almost seems like she's not even effected by her illness. Must be a strong girl. All of her ich spots have cleared, and it was pretty bad for a couple days. Now I'm...

I'm starting the heat treatment. Be careful telling people to just turn the heat up to 86. It should be a degree a day an I thought it's was 82.

I know this doesn't help your current situation but i find a 1/4 tsp of yeast per 2 cups of sugar lasts much longer.

Aarrgh! Well last night the male suddenly begin hovering at the top of the tank. I tested the water which came out 0, 0, 20. I did a water change anyways at 2am. But woke up this morning to him dead. And now out of nowhere the female has a bad case of ich... soo frustrating!

There is a little nipping going on. The platies, 1 in particular, does not like the new additions. She keeps swimming up next to the female GBR and nips at her pectoral fins every so often.

You should have a slight trace of nitrates. How big is the tank? That's quite a stock!

well I'm now the proud owner of a pair of German Blue Rams. I spent a couple hours drip acclimating and they took the tank quite well. Timid at first of course. I've posted a pic of the pair in my 55g album. It's seems my membership has run out so now I've exceeded my photo limit.

thanks again! Heading to the LFS soon! Pics to come.

Need more info. How long has the tank been running? What are the water parameters? ammonia, nitrite, nitrates Was this tank cycled? What else is in the tank?

I did screw up the ph test. lol. it's 7.4

Thanks river! This tank has been running for almost a year, with a few changes to the stock. Originally had telescope goldfish for a long time, but lost those and decided to go with a schooling jungle. My tank gets about 50% weekly WC with nitrates never going above 20. I've called around...

are they closed up and floating or just slithering along the surface of the water?

welcome to the party!

wow, that's a beautiful fish! Do you think I have room for a school? I was mainly looking for a pair. But this may be an idea. So far, this is what I'm considering: pair of Peacock Gugdeons or pair of Blue Rams or possibly a small school of boesemani rainbows. -I really like the breeding...

Thank you for all the ideas! After looking through all the suggestions, I may go with a pair of German Blue Rams. Im also considering the peacock gugdeon. Do you think a pair of those would work in my tank?

Help me find the perfect centerpiece(s)! My current stock is as follows: 15 neonS 7 rummynose 5 red coral platies 2 golden dojo loaches 1 bristlnose 1 upside down catfish I had purchased a betta a few weeks ago, but he jumped out. Looking back, he was a beautiful fish but hid most of the...

Well, can you post photos? A picture of the plant and your lighting would be helpful. But more than likely your light is not suitable for plants and also your plant is probably not a submersible plant. Yes, the proper substrate is also very important for plants, but is only one small part of...

Can anyone tell me how to trim frill? The only way I see is to chop the top off, but I don't want to kill it.

what kind of light are you using?

wow! love the background!

There are lots of articles on AquariumAdvice.com on this subject. read through them first and come back with more specific questions. Don't be afraid to ask anything! Here's a guide for cycling: http://www.aquariumadvice.com/the-almost-complete-guide-and-faq-to-fishless-cycling/

Exactly, it all depends on what you want. Can you show us a picture of why it looks like now? I'm also into the natural look. Both of my tanks have pool filter sand and tons of plants. Lighting is also fun to mess with. moon lights and bubbling lights.. whatever your pleasure. But here...
