    newbie question

    Are there fish in there? If not you might be better off taking it down to nothing, giving a really good cleaning (no chemicals) and starting over from the beginning. With both of those filters it sounds like it is plenty to me depending on the bioload you are planning for the tank. If you are...

    neon tetras

    At a minimum you need 6, but your tank can handle 25+ I have had up to 20 in my 29 Gal. They are small and have a very light bioload. The more the merrier in my opinion as long as you don't go crazy and try and put 100 in there. But there are people on here who have schools of 100+ Neons in...

    Kuhli Loach Question

    Thanks for both of the inputs! I am sure my wife won't mind me "borrowing" a pair of NEW stockings... My intake is about 6-8 inches above the bottom but it is really close to a few plants that they may be swimming through or around. Thats my only concern really. The ones at the LFS were really...

    Backgrounds?

    A lot of people paint the back of the tank with a regular paint roller. I see a lot of black and blue tank backgrounds. Just be aware that it is very hard to get off once its on there. If you type in "painted background" in the search function at the top of the page you will find a lot of info...

    Kuhli Loach Question

    I recently went to the LFS and wanted to buy 4-5 Kuhli Loaches for my 29 Gal FW. When I saw them they are much small than I thought. I read that people were having an issue with the loaches swimming/being sucked into their HOB filters. I have a Tetra Whisper EX45 and though the holes on the end...

    Ghost shrimp eating habit

    I have 2 Ghost Shrimp in my 29 Gal and if any of my little guys die over night or while I am at work and the shrimp find them before I do they are mostly taken care of. I have not had a problem with mine going after live fish just the dead ones. Some people say Ghost Shrimp will try and catch...

    How much would neons cost ?

    For me I found the Neons a bit more hardy than the Cardinals. The Cardinals are much more susceptible to a change in water parameters than the Neons. Also the Cardinals are about $2.99 here versus the $1.09 for the Neons. The Cardinals have the red stripe that run all the way down the lower half...

    cycling tank is annoying

    I just cycled my 29 Gal FW and it took 9 weeks doing a fishless cycle. I used pure ammonia and the ammonia was dropping around the 4th week. The Nitrites spiked and were off the chart for the next 4 weeks and then started to drop quickly. Within the next week the nitrites and ammonia were...

    Actually check out pics of the Butterfly Pleco... Looks a lot more like yours than the Tiger.

    Fish id?

    Could be a Tiger Pleco, but the stripes seem a bit fatter than I have seen in other pics.

    Pirahna

    Don't think I have seen to much on here about them. You could try a general search for post/threads containing "Pirahna" as a specific word. Sorry I could not be of more help.
