:thanks: I like the crypt wentii as well. I'm thinking i want baby tears, different types of anubias, and maybe some taller plants. I'm still unsure :confused: lol.

well I got the filter, and it's media, from an existing goldfish tank, and the substrate is from a natural pond. it cycled on like 3 days. no co2 :(

not sure how much ammonia it can process... I put a couple of dead feederfish in to cycle. My lighting is a T5 HO fixture with two 39 watts.

ok guys... here's a pic of the tank. I just tested for ammonia & nitrite and their both at zero. any suggestions on who I should put in first? And also any plant suggestion? it's pretty bare right now.

i might have just found my "oddball" fish... has anyone had experience with banjo catfish??

that's an idea... lol

Ok sounds awesome. Can you think of any other "cool" or exotic looking fish that would go good with the rest of the fish and would stay small as well?

assuming i can take care of one, this is my stocking list so far: -20 neons -6 glass cats -6 pygmy cory cats -hillstream loach What do you guys think? Oh, and could i add some shrimp, or would that be a problem?

does anyone have any experience with hillstream loaches?? would one be ok in my tank? keep the suggestions coming, thanks again guys

I think I might do the corycats, anyone else have any ideas??

I just set up a 40 gallon not to long ago, and am planning on plants soon, but I'm not sure about stocking. all I know is I want a big school of neons and a school of glass cats but I'm not sure what else to put in, if possible. So far this is what I was planning on: -20 neon tetras -(around) 5...

I guess so :( I sure hope it's something genetic just cause that would be cool! thanks guys for your input

and sorry, those aren't really good pictures. here's some better ones:

thanks everyone! I actually found 7 all together of this weird look and they all seem to be really healthy. a couple have only a few scales that I can see and then the rest seems to be "scaleless." I touched one and it felt really soft, like babies skin, no matter which way I rubbed it (not...

i got a couple feeder fish the other day. When I got home I took a closer look and found a scaleless (I think) goldfish. I went back today and found another! I'm not sure if they are a new type of "morph" or a shubunkin? I got them for 15 cents so no matter what, they are worth more than I...

I have a bunch of garter snakes so I went to petco and bought some feeder fish (common goldfish) to feed them because that's all they eat. When I got home I took a closer look and found a scaleless (I think) goldfish. I went back today and found another! I'm not sure if they are a new type of...

you could breed some smaller cichlids like rams in the 20.

that is true. but if it is housing a boa a heat pad is probably being used and it's moist. if it was a bearded dragon that would be a different story

I used to have all sorts of snakes and lizards, and still do, just rehomed some and got into fish. I am currently using 2 tanks I had reptiles in and there is no difference in the tank, as long as u clean it. the only way it could be ruined by reptiles if you have a large lizard in the tank...

They also don't have tanks over 55 gallons, and yet they sell fish with minimums of 75. it just drives me crazy

I know. I know plenty of people that went and were told to buy a tank and fish the same day, and when the fish died because the water became toxic and they didn't take proper care, they can't e refunded because it says on the receipt that they must test the water from the tank and if anything is...

they always tell me stuff like that, but I just say I have a couple tanks and there going in different ones, even if they aren't. just brining up something else I hate about petsmart, if you look at the little tags they have under the tanks identify the fish and care for example it says stuff...

yes I have been treating him and adding salt to the tank over the last day. it looks like it has now taken over part of his fin and is eating up his fin.

not much better I think it's spreading :(

all I have in there is some fake plants and drift wood. I netted him out of the container I bought him in, but I don't think he got stuck. here's a pic of the tank (sorry not that great of a shot)
