Thanks Gibberwatt, I will definitely try that! I actually have a tall dresser next to the tank that I can set the bucket on.

I bought 2 African leaf fish at pet smart 3 days ago and noticed a significant wound on one of them once I got them home. It is about the size of his eye just behind the top of his gill plate and flesh colored...like a small hole. The next day there was another smaller one behind that. I have a...

I just wanted to update that I treated with paraguard as that was what LFS recommended...(daily...1/2 dose at first, then increased to full dose over the next week as no one showed any signs of stress), and it worked! Everyone was fine...even my ghost shrimp and plants. Didn't have to remove...

I've read in multiple forums that the temp needs to be 86 with an airstone for extra oxygen. This is maintained for two weeks. They say 82 speeds the life cycle, 85 prevents reproducing and 86 kills live swimmers. I don't know how reputable that person was as everyone has their own "tried and...

I have a newly set up 45 gal tank that is still cycling (fish in with tetra safe start). Set up June 9 and got 3 black skirt tetras the following day. I added an oil cat (centromochlus perugia) the following day, and 3 featherfin catfish (that I thought were corys as they were in with the corys...
