Just curious- is a custom 10' by 5' by 5' large enough to be a forever home to a single one eyed one pectoral albino pangasius cat? Currently he's about 2' being kept in a 55g and I really want to rescue him. I've got a 90g to rehab him in- the current owner has only had him for about a month...

I spotted a trio of sparkling gourami in a tank of guppies and African clawed frogs marked "dwarf frogs", next to a tank marked "assorted gourami" ($5.99 a piece). So go to ask the employee if the trio of sparklers was just in the wrong tank, and before I could finish the question the guys says...

I've got a 20g long heavily planted tank that I cycled using feeder guppy/endler hybrids (5 small males) waited 2 weeks after all parameters were stable and added 10 Neons about a week and a half ago and I still haven't had an ammonia spike. All I'm running is an oversized sponge filter as I...

Sooooo.... I ventured into the world of shellies as my first venture into African cichlids. My tank is 40b, parameters have all been 0 to trace, kh 80<120 on strip, stable coloration though- waiting on liquid kh test kit; gH appr 60- waiting on liquid test kit; ph stable 8.7. I use API...

I've been so busy I don't even know which way is up making breeding tanks I haven't had time to do the research. I think my water company may have added buffers too harden the water. I have a sponge filter to install in one of my 40b and I was wondering if putting peat moss in the filter would...

Looking for information on ideal equipment, dry ferts and layout for cultivating high demand plants. I have had success on a shoestring budget and subpar lighting with rotala wallichii and telanthera reinicki which was not an easy task (used only liquid co2 as well) so I have a novices grasp on...

I have the opportunity to set up any type of breeder tank I want to. After a long illness that has made my life difficult and kept me away from the hobby I was offered an opportunity to breed for a reputable distributor that heard my sob story. I was offered all the equipment needed to set up...

Does anybody know if "rose" danio and "pearl" danio (danio roseus and brachydanio albolineatus, respectively) are commonly sold together as the same species? I have a sneaking suspicion that I have 1 of a different lineage than the other 2 as it is obviously larger and displays slightly darker...

Is it normal for my rotala wallichii to "close up" at night? what am I doing?

I'm 90% sure I want angels, considering it's tall and the set up is pretty much made for an angel display, plus I've already used it to grow out an oscar so it has Amazon plants floating ? around in it already. It has the perfect sun exposure and I have managed to grow submerged, emersed and...

So my 20g has filled in very nicely and I have removed my pom pom goldfish. I now have my 3 pearl danio (will probably add 3 more), 6 zebra danio, 7 'agassizi' cory cats (though I strongly suspect them to be 3 lined), and 2 oto's (will probably add 3 more). My ph is 6.7, my ammo and nitrites...

My 3 panda cories are spawning up a storm, however the nano community they are in are also spawning and eating all eggs. I only want to keep 8 babies for my almost ready new show tank. Does anyone know how I should go about doing this? I think I can manage to grab a stalk of rotala with eggs...

My overcrowded 5.5g heavily planted tank is full of fish that are spawning while they chase other spawning fish around eating their eggs. Normally I wouldn't be complaining about the free food source, but I am kind of worried about having to clear my filters every day of eggs and fry. I am...

Upgrades have left me specimens and dither fish galore, so I've been thinking about what to do- I have an open custom 50g and an open 55g... I had originally set up a cold water 90g hex for a rescued chocolate oranda and my red capped white oranda, sadly the large chocolate died from bacterial...

I feel so guilty about this I have to ask for opinions. I currently have 'rescued' a few larger fish specimens from very poor living conditions and had originally kept them together in their original tank to treat them all at the same time along with trying to make things less stressful for the...

I have a cycled 150g 7 foot long 1000gph pond filter with circulation added extra 500gph along with 2 fluval aquaclear 110. Lighting is 2 double ballasted fluorescents- one side is vho 10000K and 5000K and the other is 7500K and 3500K. I already have an oscar that I rescued from parasite and...

I have a 90g deep hex, a 60g regular and a 150g 7 foot long tank. I currently have them cycling and I have separate asiatic jungle blackwater biotope, Amazon biotope, and heavy planted peaceful schooler/ shrimp iwagumi style tank. 150g will have an upside down giant black cat (male) and...

My bc29 killed my blenny and puffer. I don't know how but even with my thermometer off and a quick reassurance that things were working fine (filter clean, back refugium in check, pump doing decent and water parameters well within spec). I noticed water was a little warmer than I like it so I...

Quick opinion on my tank, sounds overpopulated, but looks so empty... SEA style fully planted (including Christmas moss live back drop) 50g custom. Specs- CO2 injected, Seachem flourish tabs, API root tabs, sand and ecocomplete over laterite. Ferts used are API leaf zone, seachem flourish- also...

Looking for your opinions on whether or not a 25g heavily planted tank would be adequate housing for a single pair of apistos or rams. If so do you think I could also house 5 otos and 3 gold or rosy barbs? Tank is fishless, running 2 AC30s, substrate is laterite based capped with ecocomplete and...

Check out my mobile profile pic- you wouldn't know it to look at it but my pico tank with the bridge and the following stock list Fish 5 adult green tiger barbs (quarantine) 7 oto cats (3 quarantined- 4 staying) 3 1 1/2 inch blushing tetras 2 3 inch clown loaches (quarantine) Plants Dwarf...

Can't post pictures because I'm maxed out and I can't figure out how to delete, but she's easy to describe and is honestly not something I have seen before. She is bigger than most of my males (has the egg dot on her belly so she's a she, I know it). She's standard red white and blue over...

It's been a while since I've been on- I've been working hard on quickly and safely upgrading and stocking tanks to put together my 150g Mekong river tributary inspired biotope- will be posting pics to my albums soon. :thumb: Well, since I've been building up my stock I researched and decided to...

My tank is now becoming a limpet zone and I have absolutely no clue why!! All of the sudden I'm finding limpets all over my shells and rock. I had none yesterday and I found 4 on one of my turbo snails and about 5 more on random empty hermit shells and around my live rock. Can these limpets harm...

I can't post pictures anymore because I can't erase my posted pics, don't know why, crashes everytime I try. Anyway- My biocube is stable, has been running for a week, added snails on day 3, stayed stable, added a watchman goby and a mated pair of peppermint shrimp, still stable- grav= 1.023-4...
