I've got a 55 gallon aquarium with a bunch of bottom dwellers (a few yoyo loaches, a bushynose pleco and four dwarf cichlids (kribensis x2 and apistogramma agasizzi x2). The aquarium is planted with eco-complete substrate. This tank has been set up for a few years - so it's cycled and...

I've got about 6 that will be available in a few weeks. They were an unexpected surprise. They're probably cheaper to get local if I have to ship them, so I'm hoping someone in the area would like a couple or a few. The mom is an albino longfin and the dad is a regular bushynose. They're about...

I woke up this morning and was looking into my 55 gallon aquarium, when I noticed a tiny little fish clinging to the glass. I'm assuming it's a baby bristlenose because they're the only fish I have that cling to the glass... anyway, I hurried and separated him from the aquarium so he wouldn't...

I bought an albino, longfined bushynose pleco about 2 years ago. It currently resides in my 55 gallon aquarium with another, regular colored bushynose pleco. The regular colored one is always hiding and I never see him, but he does have a TON of bristles. They were both tiny when I got them at...

I posted about a week ago about my blue gouramis: http://www.aquariumadvice.com/forums/f17/blue-gourami-only-disease-117823.html They developed a skin condition, and were the only fish affected. I put the two blue gouramis in a QT tank and treated them with maracyn. The one gourami is still...

I have a 55 gallon aquarium that has been established for over 3 years. It includes 2 blue gourami, some gold barbs, several species of loaches and a few congo tetras. The aquarium has been stable with its current inhabitants for a year. I've been somewhat neglectful of the aquarium lately -...

I have two tanks, a 55 gallon well established and a 10 gallon fry tank, set up about 2 weeks in an emergency for cory fry. The tapwater in my area comes out off the charts as far as pH goes (9) but after it sits it goes down to 6.6, which is the pH my main tank is at. The nitrates, nitrites...

I recently had an unexpected surprise of cory eggs in my 55 gallon community tank. I ran out and purchased a 10 gallon tank, heater, sponge filter, black sand substrate for it, and transferred the eggs. They've all hatched, and the babies are about 2.5 weeks old now. There are 11 of them (but...

I woke up this morning to seeing something I have not seen in 4 years of keeping these fish: 2 of my corydoras doing the mating dance! I watched for about a half an hour, hoping for eggs, and finally, there were eggs. I managed to rescue a few before they got eaten (55 gal. community tank, eggs...

I got a phone call from my dad at around noon today. I had been at work and school all morning, and the night before stayed at a friends house, so I hadn't been home since the night before. I had noticed the water was a little warm when I left, so I turned the heaters down, thinking I had bumped...

It's some kind of long-finned variety. It's very tiny right now, so hopefully it'll grow up to be a beautiful healthy fish :)

Sorry if this is a dumb question... I've had a plant for about a year and want to increase the lighting I have in the tank so I was thinking of purchasing a new light fixture that has two bulbs instead of one (I'm in college, so I'm not super rich. 100-150 is reasonable). So, i went to...

I've been wondering on the exact species of this little guy - I have two of them and love them, they're great, and I just got a great picture of him, so I thought I'd post and ask if anyone knew?

I have a 55 gallon planted aquarium that's low light. I think it's the standard plant light bulb that's 4 ft. long, so it's like 1 Watt per gallon. Nothing special. I have some plants now that do fine, an anubias, some bronze wendtii I think it's called, java lace fern, and tiger lotus and...

I've read they can grow anywhere from 6-10 inches. I have one in my 55 gallon aquarium currently, which doesn't seem like it will be too big of a problem if he stays on the low end of the range... I was just wondering if anyone had any pictures of an adult pictus that isn't a closeup... like...

At one of the local LFS, they had a display tank for a long time with two huge gold barbs in it. Recently when I went, the fish were gone, and I asked about them and the guy who was helping me said the fish had been in a very large tank for a very long time. I have no idea how big the tank they...

I have a 55 gallon freshwater aquarium on an iron stand built to hold the aquarium. The problem is that the aquarium is tilted slightly forward. It's very concerning considering the size of the aquarium (don't want the whole thing to tip over). My dad measured the thing, and it's about 1/2 to...

I have a 55 gallon tank, planted with low light plants, with gold barbs, giant danios, yoyo loaches, dojo loaches, platys, some white clouds, and some cory catfish. Don't have the exact numbers, but it's been set up for about 6 months, ammonia is stable at 0, nitrites at 0 and nitrates stay...

Sometimes, which I lift the hood to feed my fish, I notice these tiny white bugs jump away from where I opened the hood. I usually see just 3 or 4, and they really are tiny... I don't even know what size they are to compare them to anything. But they really are just little specks. Any idea what...

When you have a planted tank, can you do less frequent water changes? I ask because I used to do water changes weekly (about 20%) and now since I have plants in my tank (55 gallon, I have 1 amazon sword, 1 onion plant, 1 anubias and a bunch of water sprite floating on the top of the side of the...

I have 1 full grown onion plant and 2 bulbs that have grown to be about 3 inches high. The full grown plant has been fine, no mold growth, but I had the bulb loosely packed with large rocks (to keep it from floating) and so it was mostly above the gravel. The 2 bulbs, however, I didn't have the...

Sorry for posting so many questions lately, there just seem to be a lot of weird things going on with my fish lately. Since I set up my 55 gallon tank (a month or so ago), I've noticed that my fish always stay on the side of the tank where the filter (Penguin 350 from my old 20 gallon tank)...

I have an amazon sword in my tank with a really long thin stem growing off of it. Right now it's about 2x as high as the plant itself, and it look slike it has 2 mini swords growing off of it. Are these mini-swords? And if they are, how do I remove them and plant them so they'll grow? Or does it...

Recently when I have been feeding my fish, I've gotten kinda an itchy nose and my eyes have turned red and itchy. I've never had an allergy problem before, with anything, so I thought maybe I was getting sick or something. Well, I thought more about it, because it only happens when I'm near the...

OK very very basics in case you don't want to read the lengthy stuff below: There is some fuzzy white stuff growign on my driftwood. It's a patch about the size of 2 quarters. What is it? So the basics: My tank: 55 gallon 2 heaters (water temp ~78 degrees) Penguin Biowheel 350 Fish: 1 male...
