    Show Me Your Plecos!!

    This is Goldie, my 18mo old Gold Nugget during a recent MTS snail hunting exercise. The loaches just can't keep up these days, so we help them out. http://www.aquariumadvice.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=13290&cat=554

    Got a Gold Nugget? How big is it?

    Just curious... Who DOES assign the L#'s ? Or will I find that out on planetcatfish too? don't worry, surfing it right now... thanks for the link, loving it...

    Got a Gold Nugget? How big is it?

    One thing I've found very little information on, is exactly the difference between the two. The only source I found which listed the under both L #'s (which I misquoted above)... Could it be that the L018 is the dwarf variety of the L177? Could it be possible that in home aquaria, the L177...

    Got a Gold Nugget? How big is it?

    I've been doing alot of reading on the different fish I have in my tank lately. Before I got my gold nugget (L177, L85), I'd read several reputable profile sources that indicated they could grow as large as 12 or 13 inches. However those resources also indicated they normally only grow as...

    Gold Nugget Pleco

    I know, a bit dated post... but thought I'd add my 2 cents... I picked up mine at Thatpetplace/thatfishplace.com, however I live about an hour away from their Lancaster, PA retail store. $16, which was a steal in my opinion. A new Petsmart in the area wanted $50, and the two other LFS's...

    Decorations chipping paint?

    Howdy folks, A couple months ago I purchased some rather large decorations for my 72gl Bow, and within a couple weeks, the large castle's paint was loosely chipping to the touch. After a couple more weeks, its chipping quite freely on its own, enough that I've removed it from the tank...

    Angel with tattered fins

    Well, the fins haven't been anywhere near as perfect, or neatly edged as his slightly larger tankmate, ever since coming home. Unfortunately as they've grown larger and older, its becoming more pronounced. And yes, it would make sense they are a couple months older than 14, they simply came...

    Angel with tattered fins

    Howdy folks, I've had my current tank (72gallon FW BF) up for nearly a year now, and have had my pair of angels (not a breeding pair, i believe both male) for 14 months now. Both of them are pretty sizable, although I don't know exactly how you measure the size of an angel... Anyway...

    free tank!! (almost :()

    What about acrylic or glass cut to fit in the gap, on the inside of the tank. That seals the water in, and the original glass/plastic moulding would hold the rest together. I would think, not an expert though. My bet would be to take it to a glass shop. Ask around, when I mention building an...

    CO2 Diffusion in a Small Tank

    Is this one made of glass? or plastic? If I recall, this one was referenced on the site I prefer as a baseline guide for DIY CO2, can't find the link at the moment, but if I recall, it was highly recommended. EDIT - found, via a post by GreenMagi...

    CO2 Diffusion in a Small Tank

    Most of the DIY C02 articles I've come across recommend ceramic airstones, if you go the airstone route. The consensus appears to be around the diffusing effects, and ease of cleaning / lack of erosion to the airstone. The caustic effect of the yeast/sugar formula tends to attack the cheap...

    Too much CO2

    Zezmo, Great work, I'm curious if you have any recent pics? I'd love to see a shot of so much pearling. I am curious how you came to the conclusion on how many bottles to use, I've been doing alot of research here on the net myself for a similar approach, at least to experiment...

    jaw dropping electric bill

    Just out of curiosity... what do you per kwh? I suspect Nebraska has a pretty low cost, especially compared to somewhere like the NE or California...

    algae eaters

    But aren't plecos in general considered detrimental to a planted tank? Does the bristlenose fall into that category?

    Feeder fish and the ethics question...

    I think thats an exact example of what I find myself definately disagreeing with. Thats the 'sport' feeding that I don't think is right at all. And I can completely understand the uprising in the forum where that was made public. Blazeherd2306 made the point that concerns me the most.... is...

    Angelfish and Neon tetras?

    That was my hope, but I was hoping to find someone who has them living together now, so as to get confirmation I do have some time. The 10gl isn't setup yet, its a summer project for my daughter and I. So I'll only get them provided I have the time to patiently move them when ready. As for...

    Feeder fish and the ethics question...

    I've got another thread going on the topic of keeping angelfish and neon tetra's in the same tank, whether the angels will eat them or not. see here --> http://www.aquariumadvice.com/viewtopic.php?t=53836 Nonetheless, the topic made me think about it. If you stock a tank with fish that...

    Angelfish and Neon tetras?

    So exactly how should an angel be measured? I'd say they are about 1" diameter, minus the extended fins. So the major body mass, resembling a circle, would be around the size of a 50 ct piece. I know the neons wouldn't fit in the angels mouth at this point, and if they maintain the growth...

    Angelfish and Neon tetras?

    Hey folks... I have a pair of Angelfish, not very large yet, but I wouldn't consider them still young'ens. Anyway, I was contemplating adding some neon tettras to my new tank, but I came across a few sites mentioning that Neons and Angelfish are natural prey/predator, and despite both being...

    Water Sprite characteristics?

    Well, as far as I could tell, the WS was grown submersed in the store, and I can vouch for them being there about a week fully submersed. However I know they don't provide anywhere near ample light in their plant tanks, so given a high turnover rate, I can't say how long they really have been...

    Water Sprite characteristics?

    Howdy folks, I recently got my 72gl up and running and at safely cycled levels. To get the planted tank process started, I found some Water Sprite at a LFS that looked healthy to start. Has anyone had trouble planting this in the substrate? (mine is eco-complete regular). I...
