    Fire Eel (Mastacembelus erythrotaenia) Advice?

    Hey everyone, Been out of the hobby for a couple years, with college stuff and work. Hoping to splurge a bit of my savings to pick up a 100 gallon fish tank. I've looked at a lot of large fish to put in this size tank (Which is a pretty wide range of fish), but none captured my attention more...

    What happened to the chat room?

    C'mon guys, what happened to people chillin' on the chat room while surfing the web?

    A phrase that will alter your life -- high school drama

    A very strange phrase, isn't it? It's implications, I mean. Of course, the adults and even the seniors criticize it to no end, and yet... there seems to be no escape from it! It's a lot of rubbish when you think about it, really. I went to a band concert tonight, and every conversation between...

    Starting from scratch

    Hey everyone! To those who know me, it has been a long time since I've posted. I'm back to get some help starting a saltwater aquarium! Firstly, I've been thinking about starting with a 50-55 gallon long tank (Based on the fact that there is more room for error and more fish choices). Is this...

    55 gallon tank for cichlids - can you help me get started?

    Hey guys! Some of you might know that I have a 55 gallon tank that I don't really have any ideas for, until my dad reminded me of cichlids (As he does constantly [He LOVES cichlids]) as a possibility. I truthfully know very little about cichlids, but when I was first setting up this tank nearly...

    Peacock Eel care?

    I decided it was a bad idea to keep a Fire Eel in a 55 gallon tank, so here I am, asking about Peacock eels. They're not as colorful, and they say they are very shy for a few months. 1. Decorations for the tank. I know they can easily abrade themselves on hard and sharp materials, so I wanna...

    Need some suggestions (High tech tank)?

    Hey all! I'm tearing down my 10 gallon betta tank to start afresh, focus more on a CRS project I've started, and lessen the burden of water changes on the holidays.

    What the heck is the point of decaffeinated coffee??

    Always wondered this. Isn't coffee supposed to wake you up, or give you energy? So if you take away the proportions that give you that, what's the point of coffee? I wouldn't think that it is because we like the taste, it is notoriously bitter. You coffee drinkers please enlighten me. Thanks!
