    Water stinks

    I can try weekly till the smell goes away. I've been eating to get a 2nd whisper filter. But I'm lacking on funds for my tank right now. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

    Water stinks

    I can't tell how long it's been smelling. Because I can not smell correctly. I change water every three to four weeks. I guess I have to do better in water changes. But I do have a gravel filter with two power head pumps. It filters about 75% of my gravel super clean. I'll try running extra...

    Water stinks

    I have a 55 gal tank. I have has it set up for about 1 1/2 yrs. but my water is smells funny. All my chem levels are always good. I have tried doing major water changes. Do you all have any ideas? If I got another whisper filter to hang off the back do you think that would help?? I only have...

    Angel fish help?

    Sexing an angle has to wait till they mature. (At least from my experience.) I have never had any trouble with the same sex. But getting another fish might help. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

    Gravel actually cleaner than sand?!?!

    Sand vs gravel can be argued all day long. I think it's a matter of opinion. I think sand looks really nice. But I have never went with sand. I prefer gravel because I use gravel filters. With power head pumps. I know a lot of ppl don't like or use gravel filters. I have had tanks for years and...

    Angels, will they be ok?

    Angles can become aggressive. I have angle and tetras in the same tank right now. They do great actually. As far as matting. Just because you have m and f. Dose not mean they will mate. I had a male and female. (Female recently died.) they didn't want anything to do with each other. They were...

    Male or Female Angels

    I don't have much experience sexing angle fish. But what I read online you have to wait too they are fully mature before you can tell. And then it's the tail fun that tells the difference. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

    my pleco turned very aggressive

    It could to where you transferred them to a new tank. Which means they need to set new boundary limits. How long has it been since you put them in the new tank??? Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

    Shy dwarf gouramis

    I tried to mix opal and blue gourami with dwarf ones. It didn't go well. My dwarfs kept getting harassed by the bigger gourami. I had Gold Blue Opal Pink kissing They killed my dwarf gourami. They never came out of there shell. :/

    Help in what new fish I can get with the fish I have already ?

    I think tetras would be a safe bet with guppies. Giant danios Any danios really. Australian rainbow I have had good luck with these.

    Fresh water clams

    Thanks for the info. I don't have any loaches. So I'm safe there. I just thought they would be something different to have in my tank. I anyone has any good site to read about clams can you let me know??

    Fresh water clams

    I've been think about getting a few freshwater clams. But I don't know anyone that has any. I have tried to read some online. But what I've found is rather non informative. It just says they help clean the water. Does anyone have any freshwater clams??? What kind of effect do they have on the...

    New to cichlids.

    I've never had cichlids before. But I've always wanted them. I'm not sure what rules I should go by when stocking a tank. I'm thinking about a 29 gal tank. I've been told several things. Like to over stock the tank. (But I know that's not right) then to under stock and slowly add a few fish...

    Fish space

    Yes I use adult size for one inch of fish per gallon. When I start set up a tank I don't go over the 1 for 1. When you get more aggressive fish it is important to think about territory. But schooling fish it works good. And I mostly stick to community fish.

    Male? female?

    The gourami look young. About how old are they?? Because if they are still juveniles then you will want to wait till they mature. But with the angel fish there is no telling till thy mature. :/ At least I haven't been able to tell.

    Newbie with ideas for a 30 gal

    Idk about the Cory. Never had them. But I think gourami are great. The dwarfs are very timid. So they should mix good with guppies. So if you want gourami stick with the dwarfs. As for the bio load, I would suggest to add an under gravel filter. That will really help clean the gravel so you...

    What fish should I add ?

    I agree. The tank Gould be filled more. But with a 5.5 gal guppies or something small would be your best bet. Two mollies might fit good. I would be afraid anything els would out grow it.
  21. tratcliffe44

    More fish

    Mollie's are always a good bet. Thy mix well with a lot of fish. And there is many different kind and colors.

    Fish space

    Rule of thumb that I use is one inch of fish for every gallon. After you do that then you can see about adding more fish if you have enough filtration but you would only want to add one or two fish at a time after get you take to one inch per gallon. That's how I have always done it anyway. It...

    50 or 55g aquarium

    I have a 55 gal. I love it. You can put all different types of fish in it. But it does boil down to what you think looks the best. Then you will want think if the fish you want to stock it with.

    I'm new to forums.

    I'm not sure how everything works with forums. I've tried to make a few posts. But I guess I didn't do something right. I've had my tank set up for about 10 months now. I've had some trouble with it. But everything seems to be going good. I have just recently fought off a case if ich. I lost...
