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

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...

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 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...

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?

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...

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.

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...

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...

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:

I've got a 46G bowfront tank I'm setting up for the family/daughter's birthday. We've already decided on most of our stocking list, but need some suggestions for my wife's special fish. The list so far is: 2 Angelfish (1 koi, 1 blue) for the kids a small school of GloFish 3-5 cory cats (variety...

What are some oddball/unique fish that would do well in a fifty gallon freshwater tank? I thought about knife fish or dragon gobies but as I understand, they would quickly outgrow my tank. I'd prefer something that would do good with community type fish and doesn't necessarily need live foods...

What kind of materials would be safe for me to mold my own decorations with? I kinda want to try making a Mass Effect Citadel tube for something to hide in, or a Stargate with bubbler or something

I've got a 46 gallon bowfront tank I'm setting up as a freshwater community tank for my daughter's birthday. I've also recently aquired a 50 gallon long tank (12" x 48" x 20") that I was thinking of going more brackish with. My wife loves the look of the violet goby/dragon goby. What would go...

I just got a used 50 gallon setup that used to belong to a friend's mother. She passed away and the friend didn't have any use for the tank so he gave them to me cheap. Some of the stuff looks like it was left sitting for a while while the mom was sick. Lots of calcification on the tank and...

Just a quick thread to kinda show off my (daughter's) tank progress. Still working on cycling the tank. Kinda working. Ammonia still taking a long time to go down, but Nitrites are staying at 0, and Nitrate is slowly climbing. It's only been a week and a day since I started the cycling though...

I started my 46gallon tank cycling on Wednesday evening. Added ammonia (pure 'janitorial' stuff from Ace), let that run for a bit and checked it, got the ammonia level up to around 4, like the guides on this site suggest, then I seeded the tank with filter squeezings from the LFS's display tank...

I'm working on a fishless cycle on my 46 Gallon bowfront tank. Going well so far. Added ammonia last night, and 'seeded' the filter with a sludge sample from my LFS's display tank, where she keeps extra filters in the mix just for the purpose. Only problem I'm seeing so far is my pH is up to...

I'm looking at getting a small herd of Cory cats, but I'm not sure which variety to get. What do you have and/or what is your favorite?

I've read up on a few methods for getting the nitrogen cycle going, and they each have pros and cons, I know. I think I've decided to do the fish-in method, with only a couple fish in the tank, then adding more over time. :bb: My question is; Which kind(s) of fish would you recommend for...

I'm working on a new freshwater setup, 46gallon bowfront. Planning on at least partially planted. I'm wondering if spreading the workload between duplicate hardware and/or getting hardware for bigger tanks would be more effective or beneficial to the health of the tank. For example, it gets...

So I'm setting up a 46 gallon tank for my daughter's birthday next month, and we're trying to decide on what kinds of fish we'd like in it. I want something flashy for her, but we also want something special for everybody else. So far we like an Albino Longfin Pleco, that a local shop...

I got this used tank+stand for a steal at a local fish store. Since it was such a deal for me, I'm not loosing any sleep over the condition, but when cleaning it up today (had to replace the top cross support/frame too) I notice some pretty deep scratches around the inside of the tank. I'm...
