any advice on how to get rid of these would be most appreciated... i've got a 55 gallon planted tank w/ 12 fish (2 balas, 3 pictus cats, 1 pleco, 1 cae, 1 green tiger barb, 3 clown loaches, and 1 other cafish). have had a problem with the flies for a few months now. i cut the feeding back to 1x...

hellooo... i'm interested in making my 55gal a planted tank... considering i need to remove the gravel to add substrate, i'd think the best way to do that would be to empty the tank? what would be the best thing to do regarding the water, etc, that would cause the least agitation to my fish...

hi, just a quick question... I'm in college right now and am keeping 2 bala sharks. I'm going home for christmas in about a month and am not sure what the best way to transport them will be. including the bus to get to the airport, plane ride, and getting home and stuff set back up, it's gonna...
