I picked up two 50 cent size discus yesterday after seeing an ad on Craigslist offering them up for free. The owner said the fish had not eaten in at least a week, but these fish are very emaciated, not very round, so who knows how long they've been suffering. The only food he'd tried to feed...

Does anybody have any ideas for DIY plant anchors? I don't feel like going out to buy something, but am also short on brilliant solutions ATM. Thanks :)

I have seen that some people are keeping Puntius denisonii (Denison barb, Roseline Shark). They're new to my area within the last couple of years from what I've seen. And they're spendy! What are you all paying for them? And are you getting them locally?

The boyfriend and I moved just over a week ago. We set the 38g community tank up the same as it was before. To try to save space at our new location we did the taboo and combined our 4 Labidochromis caeruleus with our 3 angelfish. The labs were in a 29g and now all are in a 20g hex. I had...

Not too expensive but enough for a few plants would be nice. I've had some angelfish in a tank without a light for almost 2 years now I think :roll:

I have not added any fish or changed anything about my tanks in a very long time. However, my tanks are feeling a tad empty and I think I might like to get some new guys. 35g hex 3 decent size angels at about 2 inches from dorsal to pelvic fin 29g 4 yellow labs at 1.5-2.5" I'm looking for...

Is it possible to put Labidochromis caeruleus and angelfish together? Four of each. I realize one species is South American and one is African. However, I don't do anything special water treatment-wise for either tank currently. I'd like to take another tank down, if possible. And also see...

Here are the pics. http://www.ourglasshouse.com/holly/pets/fish/Dropsy1.jpg http://www.ourglasshouse.com/holly/pets/fish/Dropsy2.jpg I already decided I will never again have Oranda or any fish shaped like them. Anyhow, I know it's possible that this fish will live, but I don't want to...

Is 1 teaspoon per gallon about right? I see varying amounts when I search Google so I'm not sure who to believe. I don't want to over-do things.

I'm leaving on Wednesday for a week and I've got ich in my community tank. I am rushing around the house trying to get things in order. I just moved about a dozen Nothobranchius palmqvisti killies from QT into my community tank. I don't have a light on my QT tank and I only just saw in the...

I am big on frozen bloodworms and Hikari algae wafers and sinking wafers. I'm getting ready to give Drs Foster and Smith a bunch of my money and I think I'm going to get some more pelleted/flake stuff for variety. What are some good brands/foods? How are all of the Marineland Bio-blend foods...

I got these 2 Africans for free today. Can anybody tell me their species? I'll continue browsing pics otherwise :)

Maybe I'm missing something here, but is there an easy way to rinse substrates like flourite and sand? With rock it's easy because I can use a large strainer or my hand to hold back the rock and rinse it. But this flourite I'm using is filthy and I'm having a hell of a time rinsing it. I'm...

http://www.ourglasshouse.com/holly/fish/ChromeTank2.jpg http://www.ourglasshouse.com/holly/fish/ChromeTank3.jpg Score! Going to look so cool in my kitchen with all my chrome appliances. I looove retro and this thing is pristine :)

I have some plants in my tanks, but my plan is to convert at least 3 of my current setup of 5 tanks into fairly heavily planted tanks. I don't have a CO2 system on any of them and no immediate plans for CO2 injection. I'll be using fluorite substrate and adequate lighting, but I'm curious...

I've had the fluorite and tahitian moon sand for a long time now and still haven't added it to the tank because I'm not sure how much fluorite I need to aid the plants, and how much sand I ought to add on top for looks. I don't even know if it will stay divided for long. Maybe I ought to just...

I ordered some medicine from Big Al's a while ago. When it arrived it had spilled all over everything in the shipment so I returned it. I've procrastinated ordering the stuff again from Drs Foster & Smith. I figured it was no big hurry since I've never had to deal with fish illness. Well...

I'm not up to buying a refractometer right now so which hydrometer would you recommend? Deep Six Hydrometer SeaTest Hydrometer High Precision Hydrometer I'd like to do one big order from Drs Foster & Smith and these seem to be all they have. But if you have another one you'd suggest...

I bought a 10g and started spray painting the back and bottom with Rust-olem enamel. The problem is I painted outside on my patio, but had the paint can inside. I think this caused the paint to shrink up once applied outside and cause some crackling... The crackle shows all the way to the...

I've wanted one for years. I saw one at my LFS on Monday night for $80. I'm not spending that much, no way. But I'm still thinking about it. He was so awesome. I wish they were easier to breed :(

I haven't found anything more about it. I just came across this shot in a google search and thought I'd share it. It's from this website: http://www.amazon-ecotours.com/trips/tropfish.htm

Me = canister retarded I've been trying to find good articles on the web to explain canister filters. Some of you have given me recommendations as to which canisters are best, but I'm still trying to understand what exactly a canister filter does so that I can make an educated decision. I...

I get sick of scraping algae with the brush... Like these: http://www.bigalsonline.com/catalog/category.xml?category_id=1535;pcid1=1537
