    Turts, plecos, and a shubunkin?

    That's an awesome setup man! I just added a nice sized piece of driftwood added to the tank for hiding spaces and part of the diet for my 3 new bristlenose plecos, a moss ball and a piece of cuttlebone. So it's nice and busy in there for them, I'm keeping the feedings short and regular and the...

    Pleco feeding

    I have two small bristlenose plecos in my 55g tank along with a shubunkin goldie and 2 yellow bellied sliders. I love watching my plecos zip around but I just want a bit more advice on feeding. I blanch zucchini for them and they don't respond too much if at all to it. Is there anything else...

    Turts, plecos, and a shubunkin?

    I just put a big driftwood decoration in so my 2 baby bristlenose plecos can hide and they are quite at home right now. My boy turt has tried to chase them but they are wayyy too fast for him so I feel safe as long as I keep an eye on the chem levels regularly.

    VitaShell®

    Yay or nay? I have 2 YBS about 1 1/2 long and I hear its great for them but I also hear that using it on youngsters like them can stunt or stop their growth. Any suggestions?

    Turts, plecos, and a shubunkin?

    I looked online that the goldfish that I have eats 3-5 times a day. It's normally 3 days but yea. You can look at my tank on my profile in my pics. Is your tank full or half filled? Mine is half full with 2 canister filters in there, one on each side. I really like plecos and want at least 1 or...

    Turts, plecos, and a shubunkin?

    I think I'm just gonna ride it out for as long as the goldfish lives, hopefully he doesn't get eaten. As much as I would love to have at least one pleco, I probably won't because of all the negative opinions towards that, not in a bad way. As for symptoms, the first one I found was already dead...

    Turts, plecos, and a shubunkin?

    At about 2 weeks in I did a 25% water change. But soon after the smaller pleco died and 3-4 days later the bigger one died too. It wasn't my kit, I took a bottle of water to Petsmart and they tested it free.

    Turts, plecos, and a shubunkin?

    My tank is properly set up with a basking area, heat lamp, and UVB lamp. The ammonia and nitrates and nitrites were fine, but the ph and alkaline levels were a bit high. Ph isn't a surprise because of the turts, it was a 7.8 and the. The alkalinity was around 300! I agree that I shouldn't get...
