Pretty self explanatory title. Do any of you live in Michigan?

Title pretty much says it all. IM setting up a new 10 gallon and have some filter fleece shoved into the filter on my established 29 gallon, and it has been there for about 12 hours. Once again, title says it all. ~ExoticAquarist, signing out

Woo hoo guys, I am so excited that my mom finally let me have a new tank! My first tank (old 10h) was dragged up from the basement today, where it got hosed off and vigorously scrubbed with a vinegar-soaked rag and a Mag-Float, along with all supplies. Today I ran to the LFS and grabbed a large...

Hey guys, I have a question about my male bristlenose pleco. I have been looking at pictures of BN plecs recently and have noticed they that are all either albino or a dark mottled brown. My plec is a velvety black and the color of charcoal. He also has small spines on his pectoral fins and...

Hello AA, I have an issue with some Hyphessobrycon sp. "HY511". I have 4, and 2 are near the bottom of a tank and a plastic plant. They are swimming alongside eachother, and twitching rapidly. Then one will chase the other around the tank, flare his fins at the other male (I have 2 males, 2...

Hey guys, my LFS is getting in a ton of fish they call "Hi Five Tetras". I really want some, but I have no idea what they are. I've tracked down some similar species: The Rosy Tetra, The Candy Cane Tetra, and Hyphessobrycon sp. "HY511". I'm guessing I should search about the last one because its...

Hi AA, I was just wondering how many of you would like to have a discus section under the freshwater tab. I think discus are a topic vast enough in itself to have its own page. Discus nearly dominate the cichlid discussion tab... Who else is with me? Sent via TIE Fighter

Hi guys, I sorta want to do a major rescape on my 29 gallon tank. So far it has a piece of wood, multiple natural looking artificial plants, 1 anubias nana, black gravel, and a fake floating plant. I would like to have a small piece of darker twisted wood, white sand with some black gravel in...

Hi guys, I just wanted to tell you fish tank people about a Bolivian ram I got yesterday. I was at petsmart getting some stuff when I saw a surprisingly healthy Bolivian ram. I looked at all the tanks, and decided that there looked to be no disease and the only dead fish was a neon tetra. I...

Hi AA, I would love to get snails, but I've heard they can overpopulate a tank faster than guppies. What are some easy to keep snails that won't breed like crazy? Would my fish eat the eggs? I would really like to get apple snails or a snail that I saw once that was yellowish orange with a dark...

In the Q&A section of the spring 2015 tropical fish magazine there is a person that has a goldfish with "ich" on its head and pectoral fins. The magazine editor replies to wait for the ich to advance in its life cycle, then treat. I thought that male goldfish ready to breed get small white dots...

Title says it all. Is it safe to add seachem prime directly to an aquarium for its ammonia-diminishing properties? I was thinking maybe a half capful. 29 gallon community 10 gallon gertrudae rainbow W.I.P.
