    Injured Mollie

    I woke up this morning, and found what looks like a mortal wound to one of my mollies. Has anyone ever had this happen to one of their fish? Does it look like the result of fighting or running into something? Sorry for the poor photo quality, but it looks like a chuck of flesh protruding from...

    What plant is this?

    I got a few plants when I purchased my tank. I'm trying to figure out what this is, as I really like it, and would like to get some more.

    My 75 Gal

    So, I picked up a 75gal and full setup for dirt cheap a few weeks ago. I've done a few modifications, and changed a few things, but finally everything is working good. I've started the cycle, and hopefully in a few weeks, I can start adding fish.

    Wet/Dry filter hose, where to buy?

    Two hoses on my dry/wet filter have gone bad, and need replaced. They look very similar to a pool vacuum hose, and are 1 1/4 connectors. Does anyone know where these can be ordered from? I searched around locally yesterday, and everyone has 30ft pool hose. Also, has anyone replaced this hose...

    How quickly can fishless cycling start?

    OK, so I have had my 20 gal tank with fish setup for over a month now, and I haven't seen any signs of nitrites. I have a QT tank 10 gal, setup for a while now, and I decided to run in through the fishless cycling process. I added ammonia (Ace HW brand) to the tank on Monday. I checked it...

    Help finding ammonia

    I've been looking all over, and no one has the right combo. I've found 100% ammonia, but with surfactants. and I've found 10% ammonia with nothing else on the label showing ingredients. It said janitorial strength on it. Does anyone have a clue as to where I can get some 100% pure, with...

    Picked up a new 75 Gal tank

    OK, I picked up a new 75 Gal tank off CL today. Tank, stand, wet/dry filter, and pretty much all they had as far as supplies. It was a planted tank, which I'm not against, but I'm not going for a heavily planted tank. So, I've emptied the tank, and I'm trying to scrub all the algae out of it...

    issues getting tank to cycle

    I've had my tank for roughly a month now. I didn't do a fishless cycle, and after about 4 or days of having water in the tank I went out and picked up a few fish. It's a 20gal tank, and I have 8 fish in it. 3 green barbs, 3 tigers, and 2 peppered cats(all the fish are not full grown)...

    Possibly upgrading to a 30

    I found someone on CL who is upgrading to a 55, and I'm hopefully picking up his 30. With that, I may be able to expand my barb school a bit. I really like the Black Cherry Barbs, but can't seem to find a place that sells them. What are some good stores online where you can order fish?

    Driftwood

    I went looking for some driftwood down by a local river. I picked up a few random pieces I thought I might be able to work with. Are there types of woods to stay away from? What should I do to the wood to get it ready for a tank?

    New tank question

    I'm on my very first tank, and I knew/know really nothing about this hobby. I have a 20gal W/ 6 small Barbs in it. I didn't know anything about cycling a tank, or doing fishless cycles. After reading more and more, I'm wondering if I haven't really messed up. I took a baseline of my tank...

    New to Aquariums

    New to Aquariums Hello everyone. I just picked up my first aquarium over the weekend, kind of father/daughter XMas gift. I've always wanted a tank, so she convinced me to finally get one for us. Now, we both decided that we wanted "sharks". I got a 20gal tank...
