Finally got around to giving the 55G a well-needed algae wipe! Did a nice big water change at the same time! B)

Sounds like a plan! That's the only way I ever get to see my skeletor eel! Food gets them out and about every time B)

He looks great! Enjoy seeing him while you can! Once he's in that 90g you might not get a good look as often, haha! :)

Personal experience, books and online literature support my point. 26, according to most sources, is either too warm or is towards their upper threshold. Chill. :rofl: Edit: Sorry, there was me thinking 80F was 28C. Corrected that!

Looks to be a flag cichlid (Mesonauta festivus) :)

Glofish are not injected with dyes. Their florescence is passed from generation to generation; they inherit the florescence from parents just like they inherit any other gene. I think you're confusing them with dye-injected or tattooed fish. The two are totally different ball games. Dyed fish...

I'd suggest Sterba's cory. They do well at higher temperatures and are very commonly-sold, pretty little fellas! :) Bronzes would be alright, but that would be towards the very top of their tolerated range. Other suggestions include Fairy (C. atropersonatus), Smudge-spot (C. similis) and Rusty...

It depends what species you're looking at; there are so many out there! I'll quickly go over the most commonly sold puffers :) Dwarf puffers - Freshwater Red-Eyed puffers - Freshwater Amazon puffer - Freshwater (though will seemingly do alright in a salinity of up to 1.005) Figure-Eight...

Looks to be a weir :) It basically covers pipework leading to the sump in the cabinet below and allows water to drain steadily down without risking pulling fish in, too. You can't usually buy them seperately, but you can build your own if you're planning to drill the tank. You don't need one...

I think freshwater would be your best bet! It's cheaper to start up and a lot easier to maintain. The fish also tend to be hardier, which I suppose is important; you don't really want sensitive or delicate fish in an area designed for play. Stand wise I'd probably look for something that isn't...

Ah, they're beautiful little guys! Look like they're settling in well, too! And definitely agree with you on them having personality! They're such little characters :'D

Thank you, shellyx!! They're quite the oddball, I've only ever seen them for sale once, and that was this guy!! Thank you!! A few, yes. Currently a large cinnamon clown, a snowflake eel and a skeletor eel. The one tank I always fear putting my hands into! :lol: Eels & clown will be upgraded to...

Not quite! Different genus! :)

Looks to be a bronze cory! They're sometimes labelled 'green cory', which can lead to a little confusion! Emerald catfish (Brochis splendens) tend to have a much more triangular dorsal and have a definite green sheen apart from on their underside.

The one thing that immediately springs to mind is the snowflake eel. Although they're mainly crustacean eaters, they're opportunists and will take what they can get. I suspect the mandarin would become a meal, potentially along with the firefish, sixline wrasse and royal gramma. I'd probably...

They should be fine since it's only short term, but keep an eye on your parameters. In a smaller body of water, any waste will be less diluted. I'd say up your water changes a little-- try doing 20-25% twice a week to keep nitrates down. Be extra careful not to overfeed, too-- you don't have...

Firstly, if you're keeping more than one, you'll need to keep an eye out for aggression! Even oscars raised together can eventually turn. I'd really say your best bit is to keep one singly, so as to prevent any future issues. Tank size wise you'd be looking at 75G absolute minimum for a single...

No problem! Hope it heals up quickly :)

Thought so!! We had some in my workplace not too long ago :) Pretty guys!! Anyway, here's the next one!

Ooh, I think I recognise those guys! Pseudomugil tenellus?

Looks fab; great work! Can't wait to see how it looks once those plants fill out a little! :)

I wouldn't worry too much. It's so small that it could be any number of things-- a nip from another fish or a nick from a piece of decor or equipment. I'd keep an eye on it regularly-- make sure it's not getting worse or that it isn't appearing on any other fins, and that he's swimming/feeding...

Hi guys! Thanks very much for the warm welcomes :D

Both types of rasboras should be alright with a betta! They're usually fairly peaceful fish who keep themselves to themselves. Since they're a shoaling species, it's probably best if you got a group of six at the very least. This'll make them less nervous, look a lot more impressive, and will...

It depends which glowlight rasboras you're talking about! There are two species commonly sold as glowlight rasboras; Trigonostigma hengeli (otherwise known as the lamb-chop rasbora or Hengel's rasbora) and Trigonopoma pauciperforatum . I'll assume you're talking about the latter, since they look...
