What should I do in terms of fish feeding? I'll be gone for a week (well, about 6 days)... And I know I don't want those vacation feeder things (the ceramicy ones) because everything I've read says they'll just foul the water.

How many/what types of bichir (rope fish included) can go in a 55? (Not necessarily the one in my sig, just generally speaking)

Fire eels? Black Ghost Knife? FW Stingray? Silver Arowana? Would it be too aggressive? I've heard they're gentle with things too big to eat, so I was wondering. This is just for a very distant future plan. :P In a tank of several hundred gallons.

Just out of random curiosity (since I've been looking up severums lately), how do they fare with artificial plants? I know they devour live plants but wasn't sure how they fare with fake ones.

Just out of curiosity.

I've tried twice with rubberlip plecostomus, now. The first one I got died in about 2 days, and I replaced him with another that I've had for a week and a half or so, now. I was feeding bloodworms tonight and this guy was laying on the bottom, turned over dead. My ammonia/nitrites are at 0, my...

I currently have... 6 Bloodfin Tetras 6 Black Skirt Tetras 1 Peacock Eel 1 Blood Parrot 1 African Brown Knife 1 Striped Raphael 1 Dwarf Gourami 1 Rubberlip Pleco 1 Black Mystery Snail 1 Gold Mystery Snail I'm up for any suggestions as to what to put in it to finish it up.

Just out of curiosity, would they eat live snails that are over an inch in shell diameter?

I have two, and since I bought them a few weeks ago one of them has been less active than the other. He ate and stuff but he never swam around much, but now he's nearly white and seems to be breathing heavier and doesn't have much coloring, and he doesn't swim much even if another fish swims...

It's pretty well done now, (see sig) but I was wondering if I could fit a rubberlip pleco in there for algae maintenance/general cleanup.

Something's nmot good with my ram. He's still breathing, but he's laying on his side on the bottom of the tank and not looking very good... His colors are alright, though. The tank is cycled and he has hiding places, and the temperature is fine. Can anyone help? Ammonia and nitrites are at 0 and...

Like I never had enough of these topics before I got it... :lol: Currently, I have: 2 Peacock Eels 1 African Brown Knife 1 Blood Parrot 3 (soon to be 6 when I can go to the store) Bloodfin Tetras 1 Black Mystery Snail What else could I get? Was thinking maybe a decent sized (5-7") fish for...

Curious as to what they are and what their temperament is like.

Are they compatible with peacock eels, and do they like to be alone or in groups, or just pairs, or what?

Alright, so, as MTS takes full control of my body, I'm already planning the tank I'm getting after my 55. >.> I was thinking maybe a 29 gallon (I actually remembered to state the tank size in the first post this time!). What would be some good fish, for one? Things that will definitely go in...

Alright. >.> I know I said I'd decided for sure, last time, but I got some other ideas after researching other stuff I saw in Lubbock. I've got two lists... 6 Bloodfin Tetras 6 Zebra Danios 6 Tiger Barbs 5 Cories 1 Dojo Loach (moving out in spring, we're getting a pond. :)) 1 Blood Parrot...

How well do African Knife Fish do with smaller schooling fish?

What exactly is a "sump?"

I have a red clawed crab and a betta in seperate containers and was wondering if the crab could go in with the betta (in a tall-ish hexagonal 5 gallon). He wouldn't typically be able to get the betta, except maybe when the betta is resting on a plant. Would this be a bad idea?

Currently houses my male betta, who is greatly appreciating it from what I can tell. :D Anything else I could potentially put in it?

Alright, so I think I finally have a stocking list for my 55. The BGK ended up being something that I found wouldn't work, and I'm going to get an alternate home for the betta. Now my list is: 3 Bloodfin Tetras 5 Cories 1 Dojo Loach 10 Zebra Danios 1 Blood Red Parrot Cichlid 6 Tiger Barbs...

I have a little red clawed crab in a seperate container from my fish, and when I went to feed him I thought he was dead. >.> Turned out to be his old shell just sittin' there. His new shell appears to be hardened, what else does he need as far as special treatment goes?

I asked in a thread of mine but figured I'd get some better replies if I posted a topic for it specifically. Can a pair of rams live with a betta in a 10gal?

I recently heard that a BGK wouldn't be good for the setup I'm planning. :( So I was wondering what I could get instead? My plan is: 6 bloodfin tetras (if I can find three more around here) 6 cories 1 betta 1 dojo loach 10 zebra danios 1 Blood Parrot Cichlid Some have suggested another dojo...

But what can live with a Black Ghost Knife Fish? Looking at size/price considerations, a 55 would be more economical and likely easier than my previous 29/30 idea, but I dunno what all to put in it. Was thinking of transferring my current stock from the 10 to the 55 and using the ten for a...
