Congrats!!! :)

If it isn't a good idea to get an extra algae eater then my boyfriend is not going to be crushed--this is my first tropical tank (been keeping goldfish/bettas for years) and his first tank and he is trusting what I've been learning here and from a couple experienced friends. So even if the...

So I bought a used tank without size info from a Goodwill but dimensions seem to suggest 23-25 gallons. It's been set up for almost a month now, fish-in cycled (never again), and we want to start planning our next additions. We are planning one or maybe 2 more additions of fish depending on what...

o_O;; Er...definitely not. Especially considering my roommates are both gay. ;) I just meant that since my living room is connected to my dining room there is a ton of foot traffic and such. But no worries...I laughed reading this. :lol:

Bumpity bump.

Amazon.com: AquaTop CF-400UV Canister Filter with UV9W Sterilizer - 370 gph: Pet Supplies A UV sterilizer was suggested to me by a trusted friend and she suggested it be attached to a canister filter. I've never used either one of these types of products so I was wondering if anyone had...

This is SUCH a cool idea. I wish I lived in a house where I could do this--living with two male renters makes for some wild nights and I'm pretty sure my fishies wouldn't appreciate ending up vibrating all night long. ^_^;;

I like sushi, but nothing crazy--usually tuna as the fish, with crab/lobster. I like tilapia, flounder, white fish and have been known to eat a trout, catfish, or bass every once in a while. I have no issue with fishing, eating fish and keeping fish. Pet fish and eatin' fish are kinda different. :)

Er...I posted a big post...and apparently it ate it! O_O;; Anyways, I'm thinking I'll lurk for a while. Not going to leave because there is a TON of good advice here. Already figured out one solution to my latest problem. Headed back to searching in just a second. ...watch my big post show up...

Thanks everyone. I'm probably just going to lurk for a while until I get a better handle on the forum. It really hit me hard that someone who doesn't know me at all would accuse me of doing anything less than caring as best I could and doing everything to make my fish happy. I mean, I cried so...

Well...that is certainly not what I was expecting... O_O;; I came here to learn...not be embarrassed. I never did and would never do anything to my fish because I intended to abuse them. I love fish and always have. It was nice meeting those of you who weren't total jerks but I'm out of here...

Everything from cookie jars (when I was a small child...) to just basic 10 gal's. They always did fine and their water was never seriously dirty--I kept up with water changes pretty well. Plus I usually kept at least 2 if not more when I got to the 10--I kept 6 goldfish and a plecco. I have a...

Bumping this because I'm having the same problem. My tank seems to finally be cycled and the water finally cleared (had a bit of new tank syndrome) but now that the water is clear again but I have these white loogey looking blooms and they will NOT go away. I've tried the poor man's uv...

Hi! I'm Rachel. I've been keeping fish for years but only goldfish with the odd betta mixed in. Trying my hand at my biggest tank and first tropical setup ever. :) My boyfriend Brad showed up at the end of October with a HUGE fish tank and the stuff to set it up and says, "You set it up, I'll...
