So I was in my lfs looking for a new fish, something unique looking when I came across the African butterfly fish. In the week I've had it, it has become my favorite fish by far. I have it in a community tank but I enjoy it so much I'm considering setting up either a species specific tank, or...

I have a 29 gallon planted that I have been running for a while now. It's got a bristlenose, 5 emperor tetra and a baby angelfish at the moment. I have been attempting to get a nice showy cichlid for the bottom of the tank but cannot seem to keep German blue rams alive. I've just lost my 3rd...

I thought I saw my apistogramma agassizi had ich. However, the spots look different than the other times I've dealt with ich and he seems to have several other symptoms. Fat lips and mouth open all the time. Breathing heavy, fins torn but he's the bully of the tank so I know it's not from the...

So I came home from work today and have noticed tiny white spots around most of my fishes fins. After researching it seems it's what I've been fearing since getting into tanks is here. Luckily I have some aquarium salt laying around just in case this happened. I added a tablespoon to a 5...

I finally got the agassizi harem I've been waiting for my lfs to get and have got them all in my 55 gallon. Now that I've got them in there though I'm having the debate on whether or not I should put them in my 29 gallon. I'd like them to breed, if for nothing else than to see the behavior or...

I recently took on a few rescue fish as a friends tank cracked and he needed a place to keep the fish so they wouldn't die. I currently have 3 tanks set up and was able to appropriately accommodate all of his fish. My question is that when we went to put his albino longfin bristlenose pleco...

I recently got a great deal on a 52 gallon flatback hex. Dimensions are 48"Lx 16"W and 18"H, maybe 16" once all the substrate is said and done with. I've got a Fluval LED Planted light in my 29 gallon medium planted and it works fantastic. Unfortunately, the 48" model is a bit out of my price...

So I have a fairly well planted 29 gallon tank. All my water levels are at 0ppm and have been every time I check for over two months since I got the tank fully cycled and stocked. I do once weekly water changes between 10-20 percent. I have 3 albino corys, one bristlenose pleco, one bolivian...

Hello all, hopefully someone can figure out my dilemma for me. I've got a 29 gallon fairly heavily planted tank with a sand substrate. Recently we got another tank in the house and ran through the whole cycle process. We noticed after the cycle had finished that there were some small floating...

Hello, I have a well established 30 gallon tank and am just looking at ways to make the water levels as optimum as possible for my fish. I already do weekly water changes and check the levels daily with the api master kit. I currently run both an aquaclear 50 and a tetra whisper pf10 filters...

So I have an established 29 gallon community tank and I had originally purchased an Agassiz Dwarf Cichlid for it. Unfortunately, it did not get along with the rest of my fish and I had to return it. Now every time I'm in my local fish stores I see that fish and just wish I could have one. So...

Hello there. I've been rather enjoying my 29 gallon planted tank and since it has finally finished cycling and I added all the fish my tank has been a joy. That being said the last few weeks I have started seeing groups of white stuff that seems to sit on top of my black sand substrate. I...

I have a 29 gallon tank that is medium planted and has sand substrate. I had 4 albino corys, a baby bristlenose pleco and a dwarf gourami. I had added a bolivian ram a few weeks ago and it was great as everyone seemed to go their own way in the tank. Then I went into my LFS today to pick up a...

Hey there! Looking to make my 29 gallon tank a planted tank and really want to make this as easy a set up as possible. Preferably non C02 needed. I also need to know what kind of lighting is needed for this? I currently have a sand substrate and specifically want some surface plants for my...

I finally got my tank set up and cycled it seems so time for the fun part! I have a 29 gallon tank with an Aquaclear 50 and a tetra wisper pf 10 filters. I have sand substrate and a few plastic plants and a cave. I currently have 4 albino corys and two dwarf gouramis. First thing I need is...

Hello there, I currently have a 10 gallon tank with 4 albino corys in it. I purchased an empty 29 gallon tank and am looking for advice as far as which filter to use, hoods, lights, etc. I am familiar with how to cycle a tank first and all that jazz. Unfortunately, I do not have enough...

Hi there! I was recommended to this forum at my local fish store today. I currently have a 10 gallon tank that I set up for my Betta I got for xmas as the one gallon I had received with it just didn't seem large enough. Unfortunately, the Betta has passed as it seems it had some odd disease...
