Hey AA! Finally got all my equip for my new 55gal I bought. Unfortunately that list did not include a c02 setup, so I bought some plastic plants to decorate in the mean time. Currently the stock is: 5x Black Neon Tetra 2x Neon Tetra 5x Swordtail I know that the tetra are schooling fish, and...

Hey! Things are finally starting to come together for my 55gal that I have been putting together. Lights are on their way, as well as some fake plants until I can get a c02 setup and go all in with some real plants. Anyways, I was wondering how many Rams I could stock safely. I am planning on...

So I've had this tank up and running for 2 months. I've never ever had this problem last this long, usually gets murky after shifting some decorations around etc, but always is gone in half a day or so. About 5 days ago, I put another piece of sponge in my AC50 to seed for my other tank, and...

So I got a new tank (http://www.aquariumadvice.com/forums/f15/55gal-start-up-209537.html) and am set on getting some SA dwarfs. I am not opposed to reg. SA cichlids, but would rather have more smaller, then less larger. I would like some suggestions as to what I should get specifically. The only...

Hey AA, I just bought a standard 55gal today from someone local. My plans are to have a FW community tank with a good amount of low maintenance plants. I need some help in nailing some of the finer details, so I am here to ask for your help! Background: I have a 25gal up and running and I plan...

So I've got a small female red swordtail in my 25gl. The other day I noticed she had a deep, thin slice missing of her tail about 5/8s of the way up from the bottom. I can't say for sure if the fin is completely gone or that part has just gone colourless. The rest of the fins are fine on her and...

Hey AA! I am going to be getting a 55gal tank shortly, and I don't want to go through the cycle, and even worse, NTS! I have my established 25gal and figured I could buy the new filter (AC110), run it in the 25 for a 4-5 days (along with the AC50 currently running), and then it be good to go for...

I picked up 3 female tiger swordtails from LPS the other day. I was lucky enough to get one of each colour combo! They look great in my tank! Enjoy spenny

So I have two male swordtails that, for whatever reason, started fighting with each other today. They will swim at each other, trying to bite one another I think. They will go at it for a little bit, chase each others tail in circles, chase one another across the tank, and then go their separate...

I got these two plants with my freshwater tank when I got it. I am unsure of the names, so if you know, please let me know. The brown spots/discolouration were there when I got them. Any tips on making that go away? They seem to be doing alright and growing. A new leaf in the first pic is...

Today I went to my LFS and bought two Dwarf Gouramis. One is extremely camera shy, and was lucky to get the one picture of the two of them. Enjoy Spenny

Hey AA, I bought my tank and this was included. Don't know what it is used for, but I'm sure one of you can point me in the right direction. It came with a Hawkeye 201 airpump with a short black tube that fits into the open tube of the unknown cube. What is this used for and what is it called...

Hey AA, I have a 25gal long freshwater tank I'm looking to stock with a nice center piece. My thinking (fully complete ofcourse) is to have 6-10 black neon tetras, 5+?? red swordtails, a center piece and then a bristlenose pleco? Would that be overstocked? I have checked the compatibility for...

Hello AA members, I have just bought my first tank after being out of the game for 10 years or so. That was back when I was a kid and my parents usually took care of the water changes and it was nothing more then two angelfish. Luckily, I came across this site, and it has helped me get up to...
