So my tank got over its minor little infestation and so I decided it was time to get some new fish. So I decided on some cichlids that were already paired off, convicts and some others that are called "firebellies" but I don't know the exact names. Some friends of mine had them and they are...

Hello! I have decided to use my 55 gal as more a dwarf cichlid variety and I wanted to start fairly easy, kribs, but I also was hoping on fitting some GBRs in. So I was wondering if they are compatible and if so, what m/f ratios would work with them? The tank has quite a bit of driftwood and...

So I had a bad day and did what I always do on bad days- bought something for my fish tank. Today it happened to be a new aquaclear filter for my 10 gallon that is coming with me to college. I happened to espy a raphael catfish. I immediately wanted to buy for my 55 gallon but then, in a moment...

The Title is supposed to be "done now" not "down now" sorry. Nitrate: 10 (working on getting that up as I have plants) Nitrite: 0 Hardness (GH): 75 KH: 200 pH: 7.8-8.0 I have a small/medium gravel, driftwood, slate and a few anubias varieties. The current inhabitants of said 55gal are...

I am one of them. Hello, my name is Cady and I have no ability to decorate or arrange. *soft whimpering in the background* I was gone for a few months and not a whole lot was done with my fish tanks. (Not that they were well put together to being with) 55g Before 10g Before And so I...

Several months ago, I was off galumphing in a fish store when I recalled that I had recently been down graded to only one giant danio (thanks to my paroon shark: RIP). Having thus recalled this horrible incident, I proceeded in purchasing 3 more giant danios to give the first a pack of hooligans...

I only really know of Monsterfishkeepers.com and MonsterFishRescue.com but I'm sure there are other sites out there!

So i got some rocks from Topsy Reservoir near where I live. I scrubbed and soaked them in very hot water for awhile. I tested the pH and it was acidic/neutral (can't tell exact with my test kit) so I decided to see if this was just my water. I set out the rocks in water and then just a plain...

I jut bought 2 gold bridgesii (I think thats the spelling...) apple snails and I was just curious how people add them to their tank- I know doing it the same as fish is fine but I was just curious if people had any different methods.

The LFS I bought my paroon shark (yes I know, BIG) is under new ownership and has agreed to buy him back after checking his health out. I will miss the big oaf despite his consumption of more fish than I can count (lost track after 23) but I can finally start a community tank up again. He's is a...

When I say easiest I mean no CO2 with stock lighting. I am redoing my 55 gal tank soon and want to start getting plants ready to go. I know some of these are blatantly easy but... Hygrophila corymbosa Amazon Sword Echino tenellus Java Fern Micra umbrosum Hygrophilia difformis (Wysteria?)...

About 2 1/2 years ago I bought 2 kuhli loaches. A predominantly black one with thin yellow stripes and an evenly striped black/orange. They have grown to be absolutely beautiful. but oddly enough- the predominantly black one is now pure black! I have also bought 2 others but they are only now...

bought a cheap clipping from pet store- they didn't know what it was and wanted me to find out. [/img][/url]

I heard recently that the bamboo that you typically see sold everywhere (it might be called lucky bamboo) can be put in fish tanks. I think it would look decent but I am hesitant to try it. If anyone has done it before post here or anyone can put in some thoughts...

I cleaned my fish tank 3 days ago and haven't noticed anything wrong, until I got homew from school today. I turn on the lights and what appears to be small strings, think of stubble shaved off except thinner and possibly green. I took a quick google and saw that red algae might be the culprit...

Posters told me to start this thread over here. I would like to get some hardy FW plants to go in my fish tank. I would prefer them to get fairly large but need little help. I have a medium sized stone substrate and stock lighting. I have a few plants but am overall unhappy with them. Would...

I would like to get some hardy FW plants to go in my fish tank. I would prefer them to get fairly large but need little help. I have a medium sized stone substrate and stock lighting. I have a few plants but am overall unhappy with them. I desperatley need something that eats algae like my...

I plan to upgrade from aqua-tech filter system (55 gallon tank) and I would like something that works well with plants, is fairly cheap, and easy to clean/low maintenance. Aqua-tech stuff doesn't quite clean... at all actually. Any input or would be welcome :)

I just got a new, large gourami (3 spots), three days ago. It looked healthy and is eating fine, until I came up to the tank closer today. The gourami has developed, pink fleshy flesh around its eyes. It almost creates an 'eyelid' I have only one gourami before and it was eaten shortly after...

All things in my fish tank are stable since i last got it checked... (lfs said all levels were norm) But my guppies are pooping multi-colored to no-colored poo. Longer strings then normal of practically clear poo with 'bubbles' in it. Also, it is lighter and some go dark light/clear, dar again...

I am currently in possesion of a paroon shark who is fast outgrowing my tank. I have nearly no way to get rid of him but hope someone with a very large tank or heated pond cares to have him; preferably 500 gallons or larger, when anywhere near full size they will need 900-1000 gal. He is very...

Alright, bought a paroon shark, yes I know how large they get, didn't at the time of purchase because the fish store mislead me with *it will get just a bit bigger* now it has accomplished in eating my full size Gourami. then to top it off he ate one of my fancy guppies, 3rd generation in my...

Currently, My fish are fed on flake food (AQUADINE) Which is acutallly a comapny that has flake foods in varieteies. My batch is special blend for the majority of my fish, but all in all is just flake food. I have 1 gourami, 1 paroon shark, lots o' guppies, two kuhli loaches, 1 priscilla, and 1...

I am going to restart up an old fish tank. When I said old I mean it is rather old little 10 galloner. Does anyone know how to get the water lines (white 'crust') off the sides? Should I just take a razor thing and scrape? or is there a better faster way?
