Funny, my girlfriend was also set on an ADF, took me forever to convince her not to get one. I've had bad luck with panda cories, I had 7 of them in my 29 and they were very shy, hiding all the time. I then lost all 7 of them over the course of 5 days. Probably just me though I've seen tons of...

That's kinda what i figured, thanks for the help guys. I'm gonna do something like this, http://aqadvisor.com/AquStockImage.php?N=&L=48&D=12&H=21&J=&UV=gUS&UL=inch&F=5:200909300162:,11:200909300232:,1:200909300186: I'm going to ask my LFS to make sure they can take back the pictus just in case...

Can you do all redtails? Everything I've read says they should be kept alone. I guess its like cichlids where you add them all at once so they cant set up a territory? I use a small LFS in downtown Vancouver, I wonder if they ever bring in large amounts of red tailed sharks.

I'm on point with my water changes, and poop bothers me less than algae and uneaten food at the bottom, but I'm on a bit of a pictus bender right now. I'm thinking something like 5 pictus 10ish tiger barbs And maybe a red tailed shark? Still worried about aggression, but I'm liking how this...

Anyone keep picture cats in a 55? Found recommended tank sizes online varying from 30gal all the way up to 75gal. I would have to find something other than barbs, seems like the barbels would be easy targets. They do look really cool but I've been reading stories online about RTS bullying them...

I do really like tiger barbs, I saw a video of a big school of them in a planted tank and they looked awesome. Might mix some green tiger barbs in there for variety? I think they're the same species. Any ideas about the pleco? None of my usual scavenging clean up crew will work. Plus my gf had...

Hi guys, I've been thinking about picking up a new 55 gal tank, and I've spent all day researching different stocking ideas. I'd really like to do something a little different from the usual dwarf cichlid/schooling fish/bottom feeder set up. I've been looking a lot at red tailed sharks and I...

Sold to me as apistogramma cacatuoides Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

I know brooks has experience with apisto's that's why I'm worried! Either way I'm going to keep him, I love the personality and my girlfriend has already named him Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Yeah he/she is barely bigger than my tetras, I'm trying to get a better picture of him, but he's not co-operating. If he was a "sneaker" male, would he recover in a tank with no males? Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Really? My lfs said they were all males. Disappointing! They usually know their stuff Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Newest addition to my 29g planted, currently being housed with some panda corys and tetras. I'm working on getting him a lady fish as well. Any advice on getting him to color in? Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

So I added the limnophila, really fills in that space, I also added my cave (which my cories LOVE) and some black neon tetras to fill in the top half of the tank. I think it's coming along nicely, can't wait for it to grow in! Comments? Suggestions? Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

I really like the look of that, I'll take a look at my lfs tomorrow. I just wonder if I'm considered medium light? I've got the fluval 29 tall led starter light. There's also a lean-to style cave going in on the left hand side for some apisto. C. when they come in sometime next month. The whole...

Hi guys, After reading some articles online about the rule of thirds I took a stab at rescaping my tank, and I'm pretty happy with what I came up with. Take a look and tell me what you think! Love my nerite snail posing on the rock :) Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

I have about 25 super fire red shrimp fry in my five gallon right now, these are roughly 2 weeks old. . Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Updated stock list looks like this

Just a little update... Nitrates and Nitrites are now present! Picked up some awesome river rocks outside of the city today, looking forward to cleaning them up and adding them, no driftwood however, and my LFS is charging ridiculous prices for their wood. My 5 gal shrimp tank has some new...

Thanks! Jeeze i cant wait to stock it... Maybe something like this? On a side note my lfs talked me into buying giant planting tweezers when they saw how many plants I've been buying. Seriously some of the best money I have spent. I have the Do!aqua 10", they were stupid expensive, but it's...

Did some parameter tests Temp 75F Ammonia 0.25 Nitrite 0 Nitrate 0 Ph 7.4 Does my ph seem high? Also picked up some 15L mayo buckets from work(I'm a cool) for water changes, I can final get rid of the tiny 1 gal I used to use. I'm planning on plugging some stock ideas into aqua advisor tonight...

Going driftwood hunting around my girlfriends parents place this weekend I'll post pictures of what I can find! Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

I moved the biological media over from my 5 gal, and I have "fed" the tank fish flakes as well as the bacteria in a bottle that came with the tank. I will check tomorrow to see if any ammonia is present. I will definitely add more neons! My stock list is still very much in progress 15 Neon...

The rhizome is exposed, there's a small crater in the ecocomplete so you can't see it in the picture.

I double checked it has a "max water line" Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Also my heater has a line where the water is supposed to go so I don't think it's submersible. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice
