I just had a massive Ick outbreak that killed all my nice rainbow fish. Now I am ready to start over. I really like the color of the Sunshine yellows. How many should i put in this tank?

I was on Facebook's "tanked" page watching their interview from the Tonight Show. On the comments list a guy said "go to aquariumadvice.com and you'll find out what happens when the cameras are off. He was trying to say the fish are mistreated in some way. I know they are on TV but it seems like...

Long time no post. My 3 aquariums are now doing great. All set up and the rainbow fish are looking great. I'm hoping to add my fourth aquarium later this year. It will be another 55 gallon that will house my Sepik and Bleher's rainbows and my 45 gallon will switch over to Turquoise. On to the...

I'm sure you've seen my previous posts. Here is my problem, a 45 gallon cube tank was my tank I really wanted. But after looking at some videos I think this tank is just too big for my space. So my final choices are the 27 gallon cube and the 36 Gallon Bowfront. I really prefer the cube look...

I currently have three freshwater tanks and I'm looking to add a fourth but this time I want to do a marine tank. I'm going to be purchasing a 45 gallon cube aquarium and would like to get some ideas and pick all the experts brains on this forum so I can do this right from the beginning. I...

First of all, is this even big enough to accomodate a salt water tank? I have three freshwater tanks with Rainbow Fish, and they are fun but I'm looking for a different challenge. Unfortunately due to my lack of space I can only put this size aquarium or a cube aquarium in my place. If this...

I am stocking my final tank (55 Gallons). Today I bought 3 Lake Tebera Rainbows and 3 New Guinea Rainbows. I also purchased 5 Green Tiger Barbs but they nip at each other and the Rainbows. Will this be a problem? Anything I can do besides return the Tiger Barbs? Thanks in advance :)

Sorry wasn't sure if it was Ick or Ich. I have a 55 gallon tank that had Cichlids and the store suggested I put some other fish in to stem the aggesion. I put 3 Australian Rainbows in. Long story short I gave the Cichlids away to the local Petco and kept the three Rainbows, but I think the...

I'm not sure if anyone has done more editing and revisions to their tanks than me in the past 2 months, lol. It has been a lot of work. So far I have a 45 Gallon with 5 Sepik Rainbows, 4 Behler's Rainbows, 5 Albino Buenos Tetras, and one zebra Danio. A little overstocked but I have a good...

Hi all. I have had a lot of great advice and help setting up this tank from a lot of people on this website, so thanks to everyone for their input :) This is the final stock of my 45 gallon that had previously been a cichlid tank, and then had a few issues getting it re-cycled. I had some issues...

Ok, now I know that my tank is 40" Long 18" Tall and 12" Wide. I'm pretty sure these are the dimensions of a 38 gallon tank. I have done a lot of work and some of you saw the old pictures of the tank. I have attached a pic of the new tank after cleanup, new Tetra 40 gallon filter, new Aqueon...

My new aquarium that was given to me is an unusual size. The lights don't work and the hoods were filthy so I will be replacing them. Of course I misplaced my tape measurer but it appears to be 40" L X 18 H X 12 W. I can't find these dimensions on any tank websites. I put over 30 gallons of...

I am being given what I think from the pictures is a 55-65 gallon fish tank. I am wanting to stock it with Boesemani Rainbow Fish and Australian Rainbow Fish. I was thinking 5 Boesemani and 4-5 Australian Rainbows. Would this be a sufficient amount of Rainbows for a 55 gallon? Any tank mate...

Hi all. Since the beginning of the year I have gotten fish fever. I bought one aquarium, then another one, and now someone is giving me another aquarium. I am picking it up this weekend, I was just wondering if someone on here can look at the pic I attached and tell me how big it is. From...

I just did a water change to my 45 gallon tank and added some live plants (primarily had rocks in it before). Today my Catfish was dead after he had been missing for several days, and now my little Tetra I had in the tank still has mangled fins and Ick all over him, I'm afraid he won't make it...

I just ordered my new Rainbow fish for my 45 gallon tank (3 Lake Tebera and 2 Goyder River). I am only getting 5 of these so I don't stress the fish out. Are there any other small tank mates (Neon Tetras? or something else) that I could put in to fill some of the tank space or would this still...

My Rainbow tank is almost ready for its new inhabitants. I was thinking about 5 Lake Tebera and 2-3 Goyder River Rainbows. Would this overstock the tank? Should I just get about 6 of one species? I will be adding some low maintanence live plants and driftwood before adding the rainbows in.

After setting up my new 55 gallon with 50/50 lighting for my African Cichlids, I see how important it is to have the correct lighting. My current 45 gallon tank has a T8 24" 17 Watt bulb. Is this correct for a tank that is getting ready to have rainbow fish and live plants? Or is there a...

My current 45 gallon setup is African Cichlids but they are moving over to a 55 gallon. I want to add 5 Lake Tebera Rainbows and 2 Goyder Rainbows plus one Plecostomus. I'm going to add live plants and driftwood and let the tank settle for a couple of days after the cichlids have left and I've...

I'm going with TMS to start my new 55 gallon tank. This tank will be for my new cichlid tank which consists of 12 various cichlids, one cory cat, and one plecostomus. My main concerns are how to wash the sand. I live on the 2nd floor of a condo complex so I have no access to a spray hose. I...

Hello all. Thanks in advance to all who respond. I just started a 45 gallon African Cichlid tank with 1 OB, 1 Bumblebee, 1 Zebra Albino (meanest and most dominate), 1 Sunshine, 1 Rubin Red, 1 Electric Blue, 2 regular Blue Malawi, 2 Yellow Malawi, and two smaller orange Malawi, also one...
