    BGK eating questions

    I feed mine with a turkey Baster or hand feed to make sure he gets fed. Mine comes out religiously at 8 pm or anytime good enters the tank. He definitely likes the night time. :)

    Timing on shifting fish from QT

    3-4 weeks and am so glad I do. I just had a GBR disaster that started between 2-3 weeks in to QT.

    GBR swollen and ripped open belly?

    Help! GBR seems to have significant issue. The underneath of belly area is open and fish is very swollen. Is there anything I can do or is this beyond help? This is a 20g QT tank with 2 GBR and one blue gourami. Options: move gourami out of tank (he's being an a$$), move injured sick GBR out, or...

    Dwarf puffer in a community tank

    I would definitely not recommend that. They are not meant to be in a community, it is going to struggle to get fed, will likely harass the angels and guppies, and stress itself and other fish.

    Knifefish species

    I've seen them carried at stores in San Antonio but they're not as common as BGK.

    Is something wrong with this Angel?

    I agree. Looks like a normal pattern. Have you noticed a change?

    Ghost Knife growth rate?

    I think general consensus is that they are fairly slow growers. I've had mine 3 months and it's grown about 1/4-1/2".

    German blue ram.

    IMO Bolivian Rams are quite underrated. Much easier to keep and color up very nicely and have fun little attitudes. :)

    Entire tank wiped out after WC

    Thanks Mebbid and everyone else. I have two suspicions. 1) rapid illness; or 2) water company/water changes from the aquifer that our local water comes from. We have a water softener and I'm also wondering if we are not providing important minerals for the fish and the water played a role in...

    Quarantine stocking problem

    Hi all, I'm in need of advice. I have a 20g tank that I have been using as a quarantine for 5 juvenile angelfish. Unfortunately, 1 angel is a bit larger than the others (1.5" compared to about 1"). Well, as happens with angels he has turned out to be a bully to all the others. My plan is to move...

    Changing substrate advice for plants

    Thanks! I appreciate the advice.

    dwarf puffer and lfs broad question...

    I agree with Nils above, in a 28g you could have several. Assuming they will be the only fish in the tank.

    Changing substrate advice for plants

    Hi I am looking to change my substrate in all of my tanks from aquarium gravel to PFS. I did this is one tank and already I am kicking myself for not putting in some type of soil under the sand. What is the most cost effective "soil" or substrate I could put under the PFS to support plant growth?

    Upgrading my old 10g.

    Ah gotcha. I was thinking column tanks were the ones with a small base but a lot of height. Seems like a fun idea for a tank. I don't have any experience with the nano fish but it seems like it would work.

    Upgrading in July

    What type of rainbows? I think you'd be fine in a 4'. I'm setting up a 75g and planning on keeping rainbows in it. I'm sure 6' is always the best option but not always feasible. How many rainbows do you have?

    Upgrading my old 10g.

    I think with the fish you're considering a column tank would be ok. I'm personally not a fan of column tanks because it seems like fish tend to swim more distance than height but corys will stay at the bottom, snails are happy anywhere. Endlers will stay near the top but they're so small they...

    New fish - fin problem?

    I have 5 new juvenile angels and 7 rasboras all in a 20g QT tank. They all looked healthy as far as I could tell when I purchased but I didn't inspect them well enough. I have one angel that I'm concerned about. Thoughts on the bottom fin. Fin rot or maybe just damaged from being in a tank with...
