Hey all. Here's the history of my girlfriend's first experience with a tank.. Week 1 "That's nice honey. It's really pretty." Week 5 "What was that? You say there's algae on the plants? I think it's cool. It looks autumnal." Week 7 "OK, yeah. Now I can see the algae." Week 9...

I'm looking at setting up my 15 high with fish and fiddler crabs. The tank will only be about 2/3 full with water. I want to install a fogger, but from what I've seen before, the best results (producing a low-lying fog) come from having an air-tight tank with a fan blowing down. Any one else...

Yeah, nothing's happening as far as the discus attempting to fertilize. Thanks for the help though!!!

But if the discus is a male, is it a possibility?

Here's the deal folks. Gees I'm excited. Might be for nothing though. That's where you guys come in. Can a discus successfully fertilize angelfish eggs? Angel's been in the tank for about a year and a half now, with no other angels in the tank. Well, for about the last six weeks, she's...

You tested your nitrite, but did you test your nitrate? You shouldn't be over 40.

I had one a long time ago. He never really bothered anyone. I had a community tank with tetras and livebearers at the time. They usually hang on the bottom most of time, and will even burrow in the gravel. HTH

Just going off of what I've heard. I've got TMS. Maybe that's the difference? I followed this rule in my 2 tanks that have it, and it's perfect. I do like my substrate slightly deeper than others, but not that much.

This is though, if you want your sand to be the same depth as your gravel, you'll have to go double the weight. 55lbs won't cut it. You're prolly looking at least 100lbs.

Yes, cories are a good idea as well as snails. I've also heard it's about a 50/50 chance with shrimp. Being a ten gallon, I would also definately not try tetras or a female. I second An t-iasg. If you want to attempt it anyway, yes, make sure you have a backup plan. I have succesfully kept...

I've got bumblebees, and they're not in a brackish tank. Yes, I do have some salt in there for them, but not enough to consider it brackish. Just the recommended dosage on the container. They've been doing well for the last six months. Just thought I'd share. Every one has fish that are...
