    You are correct sir, I should note that I have two guorami in my 20g i am looking to give away to a good home. looking to have mostly neons and zebras. I am thinking of creating a thread for my 20g if anybody including yourself would be interested.

    Not sure if anyone is still following this- after months away from aa forums, I am sorry to say I have taken down this tank. I still have my 20 gallon which is home to neons, zebras, ghost shrimp and a albino pleco. My 40/45 gallon is for sale if anybody is interested. Including...

    I have also given any plants and rocks from both of my tanks a soak in some hydrogen peroxide to try and kill off the BBA. It was way easier on the rocks since i was able to scrub them with a sponge. Hopefully over time the BBA will die off. I plan on purchasing some Flourish Excel soon to aid...

    You're right they will show aggression when spawning but thats something that comes with every fish when they spawn. It is their natural instinct to protect their young and the mother. So long as you provide ample hiding places and keep your water quality at its best it should be nothing out of...

    SumthingsFishy's 50g Tall Planted Journey

    So far I havent had any instances in which I felt that the Rams were being too aggressive towards the Angels or vice versa. (I now have 5 angels and 2 GBRs). To be honest, they never show any interest in each other. In my opinion if they are the two main species you plan on keeping in your...

    Kingkoopas eheim 6gl shrimp tank build

    Gonna follow this since you're kind enough to help me with my 50g build. I've also been thinking about doing a small 10g shrimp/invert build. Would like to learn some from your experiences :)

    SumthingsFishy's 50g Tall Planted Journey

    I've done some research and found a good handful of instances where people have kept angels successfully with gbrs. So far they haven't shown any interest in harming eachother

    So I returned the pleco and used my store credit to buy 4 more angels. I had to purchase them as juveniles because nobody around here has any matured angels. I'm not worried though and I'm sure they will grow just as fast as my other angel. Some other good news is my GBR's began to show mating...

    Okay so, Following that discussion does anybody have any reccomendations for a fish I can keep in replacement of the pleco? I'm going to be returning him today. Ideally wouldn't want to keep another bristlenose like I have in my 20g but I am open to the idea.

    SumthingsFishy's 50g Tall Planted Journey

    I understand he could potentially become very large. I will find him a new home if his size becomes a problem. I have a friend with multiple tanks who lives not too far from me who is always more than happy to take fish from me. The local petco also has an extremely exceptional fish keeping...

    Flake Food?

    Omega one Pellets and Hikari Freeze Dried bloodworms are the best! I wouldn't use any other blood worms because nobody else guarantees theirs to be parasite free

    SumthingsFishy's 50g Tall Planted Journey

    Thanks for confirming the identity of my pleco. I'm sure I can take care of him if you are right, since I have kept a large common pleco a long time ago. If he does become a problem I will consider giving him to a good home, but for now I'll just go with the flow. He seems to be doing fine now...

    SumthingsFishy's 50g Tall Planted Journey

    I said I appreciate the criticism while in your first post you only stated facts without explaining why. I appreciate your input, and I will remove the anubias. The pleco might not be a common but if it is then I will take note of what you said. I only called it a common because it was just any...

    SumthingsFishy's 50g Tall Planted Journey

    I would like to know where you see the anubias being covered in black beard algae. There isn't any. And I haven't had any problems with the pleco so far, he keeps to himself most of the time. Is there any other problems you have with my tank that I should know about? I appreciate the criticism...

    Sam, I am a strong advocate for Aquaclear/Hagen filters for those who don't have the money for a canister filter, or just prefer an HOB filter. They are very well made, and as you said the design does allow for you to use virtually any filter media you wish without any modification. It's like...

    Okay so here are some photos taken with my iPhone of the newly added stock. I picked up a common pleco and moved my angel over from my 20g along with my two Cory cats.I was lucky enough to pick up a couple of German blues from the local pet store! Before anyone warns me I am aware they are...

    Noted. However, I haven't planted the rhizome - I think I'll be okay. The plant has been doing perfectly fine for the past month and hasn't shown any signs of melting.

    Hey Everyone! Just making sure nobody thinks I totally forgot about this thread, because I sure didnt! The tank has finally cycled and I've added my first few fish a couple days ago. I have a decent surprise in store. Stay Tuned! Photos to come soon.

    So tested my parameters today, forgetting that I haven't even added an ammonia source yet. Everything read 0ppm, Ammonia, nitrites and nitrates. So i just have pure water?.... lol all jokes aside I am going to be buying pure ammonia at the local hardware store tomorrow and begin dosing at 4ppm...

    Yeah it is broken but it's fine. I can order a new one from AGA or somewhere online but I've tested the tank and it doesn't show signs of bowing.

    Here are some photos of the dirting and scaping process that I've begun. I propagated two small anubias plants from my 20g, prob gonna throw some Immersed Hygro in as well. I went with carib sea FloraMax for the substrate simply bc it works well in my 20g and it is a good price from the local...

    SumthingsFishy's 50g Tall Planted Journey

    Hey Koopa! It is more than likely a 45 tall but the seller on craigslist advertised it as a 50-60 gallon so I'm just assuming its a 50. I did check the volume corresponding to the measurements of the tank and it does check out to ~45 gallons.

    SumthingsFishy's 50g Tall Planted Journey

    Thanks everyone for the show of interest! I will post pictures of the filled tank right now, but I must warn you it isn't very visually appealing since I am Fish out cycling the tank. Right now I only have two pieces of Driftwood in with two small anubias plants i propagated from my 20g. The...
