    Suddenly.... EGGS! Dozens of them!

    I'm thinking it's my angelfish, but we also have GBRs. What do you think? WHAT DO I DO??

    Starter fish advice?

    Linky to my photobucket album of all the fish pics I've taken. I'll be adding more soon, including pics of my aquascape. The dragon goby is my wife's prize. Also, in the pics of my tank, you'll notice the white sand is rather....BROWN. It seems to be growing rather quickly. I was thinking brown...

    Starter fish advice?

    Thanks for the continued advice folks, but old thread is old. The tank in question has been up since October, with 2 Angelfish (started smaller than dime size, now more than 2 inches on the body) 6 glofish, 2 ottos, a nerite snail, and a pair of GBRs. I've since set up my 'aquascape' in a 55...

    Do you have rams? Lets share pics! :)

    The female is the smaller one. They are the same age, bought as a pair, but I forgot to plug the heater back in after a water change, and she didn't do well with the water temp dropping as much as it did. She didn't eat for nearly 3 weeks, apparently couldn't see, and only barely pulled through...

    Brackish fish questions

    My wife has a 30 gallon tank that she wants to stock with brackish fish. Particularly 2 or 3 Figure 8 puffer fish. What could be good tank mates for them? We were thinking 2-3 Knight Gobies and maybe a larger molly or two? I've found other sites that say this is possible, though granted, not...

    Tankmate suggestions?

    I just bought my wife a 30 gallon tank off Craigslist, and she's pretty excited to have her own tank. The only problem is deciding what fish she wants vs. what fish are compatible. The substrate is black sandy/fine gravely. Water is going to be fresh, but I have 'aquarium salt' to try brackish...

    I'm so mad at myself!

    Yea, we did about 1°/hour more or less. She seems to be the only one bothered though. My Otos are swimming around a lot more though... Morning update: The Female GBR is swimming around more. Still seems a little off balance, and is still pretty dark, but she's moving a LOT more than she was.

    I'm so mad at myself!

    I did a 50% water change last Thursday, trying to bring my Nitrates down. I unplugged everything, so I wouldn't get zapped, just to be safe. Did the water change, and all was good, until today, when my wife realized the fish were all hanging out down at the bottom of the tank and not begging for...

    Tank cross support replacement?

    I have a 50 gallon used tank that I'm trying to fix up to use. It's watertight, but the top 'frame' and the middle cross support is rather chewed up and broken. Where could I find a replacement? What do I search for?

    Help! sick gourami?

    The tank is a 46 gallon bowfront. Only had the 2 gourami, and they were getting along fine, no picking on or biting. Either way, we're down to one now, and 'she' seems happy and friendly, even taking food directly from our hands.

    Help! sick gourami?

    I was as certain as I could be of the genders. The sick one was in a bag acclimating to the quarantine tank, but died before I could do anything else for him. Took the corpse back to petsmart and they said it was likely some fungus or something similar. other one is still doing fine in the big tank.

    Help! sick gourami?

    one of the two gourami I bought from Petsmart this past friday (oct 11th) is looking pretty bad. He's had long stringy clear poops for most of the time, and has slowly been getting more and more listless, not really wanting to eat much. Today I noticed that his dark spots are almost black, while...

    Wanted: Wtb 2 dime/quarter size blue angelfish

    Title says it. I'm looking for 2 young freshwater Blue Angelfish. I'd prefer zebra markings, but I'm not too picky. My zip code is 99207, and I can pay with PayPal.

    My (daughter's) tank so far...

    I thought so too, when we first got them, but it's just their coloration. Their 'white' areas are almost completely see through. I thought the one's tail had been chewed, but it's clear except for the black lines.

    My (daughter's) tank so far...

    Well, one of the green glofish died overnight, and then the 2 orange ones started acting weird (possibly mating/dominance dance of some sort), so I took them and the dead one, and the clown pleco back to PetSmart and traded them for new glofish that seem happier and so far healthy, 2 otos with...

    What is this on my fern?

    Asian water fern, seems otherwise healthy, but then this thing starts growing off one of the leaves. New sprout or something? looks like roots trying to move down and a stem curling upward...

    New Glofish having seizures?

    I think they were doing it everywhere because the target kept moving along without them. "Hey! Watch me! Awwww. Hey come back! Hey! Watch me! awwww.

    New Glofish having seizures?

    Thank you for the reply. As I said, the other tetras are still doing fine. When I showed the video to the lady at Petsmart, she said she recognized it as a dominance/mating display. Either way, I ended up exchanging the weird ones and the dead one for 3 new ones, and I exchanged the Clown Pleco...

    New Glofish having seizures?

    GloFish seizures? - YouTube Just got these guys last night, spent time to acclimate and everything. We HAD 2 of each color of the glofish. I found 1 green one dead this morning, and now both of the orange ones are doing this drift and spaz thing. What's going on? Should I take them back...

    My (daughter's) tank so far...

    Today was the day. Big fun day out, followed by a trip to PetSmart (gift cards from family were for there). We ordered 1 koi angelfish from eBay, but they sent us 2 (bonus!), and today we picked up 2 Opaline Gourami, 6 GloFish tetras, and a Clown Pleco. We might take him back though, and trade...

    Tank cycle damaging Petsmart decorations?

    I've got several decorations that my daughter picked out but now they seem to be blistering. Is it the decoration itself, or would the ammonia/cycling process be damaging them? :taped:
