Fyi some pet stores will test water samples if you bring them in. Maybe for free.

Yeah I don't see that happening. I'm not planning on it, I just have this dysfunction that makes me want to know everything about everything that interests me. I'm a wealth of useless knowledge. It's a blessing and a curse. I'll probably end up trying to breed either those or angelfish. Probably...

Okay, cool. Now, you've triggered the nerd nerve in my brain. What if you have 2 male, 2 female?

Why is that? Are males aggressive toward each other?

The bloodfin is a loner left over from a school that died off due to an unfortunate accident involving a small curious child. He is schooling with the serpe tetras now, and seems happy. So, if I bump up the cory population, but not the tetras, I would be good adding two to four blue rams, correct?

I have a 46 bowfront tank. Four angel fish, four serpae tetras, one bloodfin, one cory cat, one brustlenose pleco. There are also six anubias nanas, and four crypts. I do 2-3 significant water changes per week. All fish are happy and healthy. I know that stocking is a debated topic, but, how...

Okay, obviously his rams won't breed in his current water conditions, or they would have done so by now. The guy wants advice on lowering ph, so lets give him advice on lowering ph. First step, check your gh. The harder your water, the more dangerous and difficult to lower the ph. So, if your...

Since you won't be able to get an r/o system for some time, I would suggest going to your local store, and seeing if they have one of those bottle your own water systems. That's how I lowered my ph years ago. Or you can try co2 injection. I'll post those pics we talked about here in a minute.

I've actually got a bunch of pretty root pieces id be willing to part with.

Okay, well fyi, there is a mobile app for android that gives notifications. It's a free app.

Okay, I have the mobile app, and I get notifications on that when someone comments on a thread that I have commented on. My question is, where do these notifications show up on the computer website?

I think you're referring to a bristlenose plecostomas. Technically a catfish, but only in the way that discus are technically cichlids. Their behavior is not typical of catfish. You should be good.

Do you have city water or well water? Before you add the dechlorinator, decide if you need it. Another suggestion, add an airstone. It will help blow the chlorine out.

Some people call it cruel. I disagree. Now, if you fill the tank, and load it with fish right away, that's different. Look, all of these methods work. All of them have the same ending. It's up to you to decide what to do. As far as the uv sterilizer, I agree. Total waste of money. It...

Be VERY careful with wild driftwood. I wouldn't recommend just putting it through the dishwasher. I would soak it in a mild bleach solution for 24 hours, then clean water with an airstone to blow out the bleach first. Just a suggestion.

Are there any steps that one should take to promote said runners? Changing light cycles, etc? I have crypts, and some pretty nice looking anubias nanas. Also, the only stupid question is the one you don't ask.

I actually cycle my first tank just like that with danios. Worked out fine. Ammonia never even spiked.

Got the tank, top and stand in lieu of payment for a job. About $40 worth. Not bad, huh?

It isn't letting me! Ill try later.

Hey! This is so cool, because you have a tank identical to mine. A couple bits of advice I can give you. First, be patient. Take your time with everything and don't rush. Second, always remember, what works for one person won't necessarily work for you. Don't be afraid to try something just...

Thanks for the info.

I actually have a bunch of root drift wood that I want to trade for plants of sell. I love it, but my wife hates the orange tinge the water gets.

Apparently, I'm too New to post in classifieds. Patience...
