I bought a 75 gallon ready for fish setup off craigslist that came with a rena filstar xp2 and xp3. I got the whole setup for $200 but instead of coming with the pipe that comes in the box with the filters he had some PVC contraption made so he could use both filters at the same time. I plan on...

I'm moving up from a 29G tank to a 75G tank in the very near future and i'm in need of some recommendations. From the research i've done it sounds ideal to be using like a fluval 406 and an aquaclear 110. As much as i'd love to do that, its more $ than I want to spend because I have a lot of...

Personally in a tank that small I would use one. Keep in mind, the less water in the tank means the more your water temps are going to fluctuate.

Unfortunately that big of an operation is not an option right now. I don't plan on getting into the intense breeding. I plan on keeping a selective few that I like and keep them breeding. Occasionally throwing in a newly bought guppy Sorry for the confusion of what j meant by "selective...

So i've recently bought a 10G tank that I intended to use for guppy breeding. My intentions with the guppies are to breed them mostly as a feeder fish, but also do some selective breeding. Right now in the tank are about 40 guppy fry, 5 ghost shrimp and a lot of snails. So what i'm trying to...

I'm a big fan of a centerpiece fish and a medium sized school. I really love the harlequin rasbora's although in a 10G you might want to consider the dwarf rasboras and a school around 5 or so. Also ghost shrimp make something fun to watch and they make good cleaners. I put snails in my 10G tank...

Also a completely seperate question. I've been seeing a lot of tanks with what people call moon lights. Is that a special light or a whole different lid? If its a whole different lid how cheap can you get those for?

I just got a 29G tank off craigslist for $25 that came with a stand, lid+light and aqua-tech 30-60 gallon filter. While the tank is setting up i'm trying to figure out what kind of fish i'm going to be stocking in it. I have a 10G guppy breeder tank set up and producing so i'm looking for a fish...

Right now doing it for fun...I would like to raise them as feeder fish but the only other tank I have is a 29G and i'm not sure if there is a fish that will be okay in a 29G and be large enough to eat a guppy. Any ideas on this?

So I decided to start a 10G guppy breeder tank...I have done a lot of research and i've gotten a variety of results. Although I understand guppies breed like crazy I still want to be very successful in raising them. So here's how it all began...(First 2 paragraphs are back story) I purchased a...

I've heard these are near impossible to breed but when I bought them from my LFS I came home to realize my 2 females are prego. I bought a breeder and stuck a male in there and i put a few small plants in there for them. Last night the female kept turning upside down and then the male came up...

Awesome, ill do research on all of those. What about a cackatoo cichlid? I've read that those stay small enough they can tank with other fish and not have any issues except if they are protecting eggs

I was kind of interested in the African cichlids

Okay well when I post asking why my 30 cichlids don't get along with my green spotted puffer fish and somebody's head explodes I'll just inform them that Google told me it was okay. I'm not asking anybody to go out of their way to do research for me I just know that cichlids are very popular...

I am interested in starting a 29 gallon cichlid tank and I have a few questions. How many cichlids can I put in a 29 gallon tank and what are my options for tank mates if any. The water in the tank stays around 77 degrees year round without a heater, do I need to use one? I'm using a 30-55...
