Or are they snake skins? I really like em:)

Update: in a couple of hours adding in new fish! (12) cardinal tetras (8) rummy nose tetras (8) fancy guppies 4x male 4x female looking for 4 more females I believe that's what you have right? If so I see no problems whatsoever. Hope I answered your question if not let me know I'll try to...

With the bichirs? Or what kind of fish? I know a bichir will be good with discus I had an ornate just like you and he was fine with my discus. Just make sure you keep discus that will not fit in his mouth, cause you can get some small discus and the bichir does grow to a good size. Unfortunately...

Defiantly but I didn't see it up on your profile where do you have it posted? Just so you know if you haven't built it yet I would recommend something in the 200 gal area. I know my stingray is going to outgrow his tank and I'm saving for a 300gal. I got him so small and it really looks like he...

Nope no such thing as a teacup thats just what the name juveniles the smallest one I believe gets just over a foot in diameter I'll double check that for you though. Yup truly freshwater there is one that brackish though so be careful it's black by the way it's so awesome... Mine is a...

Yup both are very peaceful fish. In fact if food lands on the stingray the discus will eat right off of him and it doesn't bother him at all!! A lot of ppl are scared of the stingray especially since it has a nasty stinger which has poison. But they really really have to be pushed in order to...

Glad to hear :) Right at first I wanted 5 but every pay day I just buy more fish!!! Unfortunately I lost my job so its gonna be maybe about 2-3 weeks till I get a couple more.

How long have they been together I've been wanting to get one and put it with my stingray and discus but I'm afraid of a disaster!!

I agree! I think you probably read what I posted earlier. That was to jump start the cycle from somebody else's filter to get bb.

I completely agree with him! Carbon is only good to remove meds and maybe that brownish water you get when you don't soak drift wood right. However I disagree with the sponge part unless you plan on keeping it or using it while using your filter builds the beneficial bacteria cause once you...

Ok but by no means did i say they are expandable sorry if it sounded that way. Of course I don't let them die and like you still monitored the water parameters I didn't let everything go crazy. I just used them to help them speed up the cycle as you know they are dirty fish. And it only took my...

Don't wanna argue but I believe other wise. Gold fish are really hardy fish they can take almost whatever you throw at them. they can handle high ammonia levels. And you could always give them away to whoever wants hold fish! Sorry didn't mean for it to sound so cruel but they won't die at least...

My opinion start over cycle your tank if possible squeeze some water out of somebody's filter and throw it in your water to jump start the cycle. But only do it if you trust their water you don't want any diseases to start off with. Also throw a couple cheap goldfish in there to help also. They...
