I did some searches, but I would like some input from you guys. I have always used water straight from the tap for my water changes, the smaller tanks get the bucket system since the Python is too much. (I add dechlorinators though!) OK, so here are my thoughts....I have an extra powerhead. So...

I recently purchased 2 of these in a plant order, and I can't find much information on them... They are in a new tank, but I gather they might grow too large eventually. Anyone have advise on how I should handle them? I read a post that mentioned laying the tuber sideways instead of...

I purchased some of this to try it out. It was put in a new tank I set up, and the leaves are all turning light green. Anyone have experience with this plant? I'm clueless on it's reqirements, and I'm not finding much detailed information.. Christina

As I was feeding my fish earlier, I thought I had a dead Otto. It was just floating on the top of the water. So I went to get a net....then realized it was just hanging out upside down, apparently eating something off the top of the water. Any one else seen this behavior? I now recall I...

In my 20 gallon Dwarf Puffer tank, I have an algae outbreak. It is green and kind of looks like bunches of fine fuzz. It is mainly on the Aponogeton leaves that have reached the water line. I guess smaller versions are in some other tanks on driftwood and plants. Is there a specific name...

I have a friend who has a 75 gallon tank, and he wants me to help him with stocking ideas. However, my idea of cool fish isn't the same as his! He likes darker blue fish, and would like a lot of activity and color in the tank. He had a Jack Dempsey before, but I think he wants to go with...

I have read a few things about cories and fin erosion. I have Panda and Juhli cories. No problems with the Pandas, and all the other fish in the tank are great. However, I lost the last 2 Juhlis the past few days. They were on the smaller side, and I have had them for at least a month. I...

Hello, I have run into an issue as I bought 4 puffers and I don't have a tank for them... I have time, so I am debating on buying a 40 gallon for them, or thinking of putting them in my 55 gallon, and moving those fish out. I would have 6 swordtails (2m/4f), and a pair of platies. I...

Please move this if it should be in another section. I was wondering if anyone was an active member of a local Aquarium Group? I am thinking of trying to start something in my area, but I have no idea where to start! There used to be one here, but I believe they disbanded a few years ago...

I started an email group for people in the Memphis area. I hope it's ok to post this? If not, I apologize! I just wanted to start this to find local hobbyists to meet up with and hopefully start a network of friends who can work with each other...

If anyone has experience with Java Ferns in a brackish tank, I need some advice! (Or other plants as well.) I am probably going to have to acclimate the puffers I am getting from freshwater to the bracksih they should be living in. I have been told I'll need to go slow, mainly for the...

I am going to be putting a brackish tank together in the near future, and I have only had freshwater so far. (For Fig 8 puffers and gobies) I know plants are pretty much not an option :( So I am looking at ideas for the tank. For those with brackish tanks, I'd love to see pictures or...

I was curious if anyone had experience with buying a tank, filters, lights, etc that was used for saltwater...then using it for freshwater? I'm curious what needs to be done to de-salt everything, or if it is a bad idea in general? I know the lighting would need to be different. Christina

Please feel free to move this, as it's more a discussion than a particular fish problem... More like unhealthy people, hehe! I have serveral tanks, and I know I am going to acquire at least 2 more for 2 types of Puffers. However, I tend to be overly concerned with my fish. I watch them a...

Hello.. OK, I have 4 Panda cories in my 33 gallon. The ammonia and nitrites are 0, nitrates less than 5. Temp is about 78, pH is 7.2. Tank is planted and understocked (6 swords, 2 Ottos, 6 Cories). One of my Panda cories is acting strange, but not in a Cory normal way! It is kind of floating...

Hello, My roommate likes these fish... (Gobioides broussoneti) I have seen them listed as freshwater and brackish... Anyone have any experience with these? I'm curious what kind of water they should be in, as I read conflicting info. I'm assuming brackish, but a good LFS here has them in...

Hello, If anyone else has experience with these... I have a pair that I have had for a few months now. My female has slowly started to have some color changes, mainly to her dorsal fin. It is now a shiny gold color. It has been like this for a while now, and the male doesn't have the...

I am a new member to the site. I was just curious if anyone else lived close to Memphis, TN? I have been trying to find more 'fish people' around here! I have a few friends, and we trade stuff, make online orders, etc. I think there used to be a club here, but I am starting to think...

If this should be moved, please feel free to move it to another section! I am just wondering if anyone on here lives in or around Memphis, TN? Please leave a post or email me. Christina crickit99@aol.com

Hello! I just thought I would go ahead and post an introductory note. I currently live near Memphis, TN. I recently got back into aquariums, and in less than 3 months, I have gone from none to 8, at the moment! Tanks: All tanks are heavily planted and have ghost shrimp. 55 gal- 2m/4f...
