I'm curious. You may have posted this earlier and I missed it, but did you have any electrical work done to prepare for the extra power draw of all those heaters and lights?
I assume you must have 150-200W heaters in each of those tanks...
+1 to CA_BroncoFan on stocking tips!
Regarding the plants, I have an African tank that was heavily planted with annubias, java moss and java fern for several months. Nobody touched the plants at all. Then all of a sudden it was like they realized that there was a big salad buffet and...
thanks Jonathan!
I ended up doing a 60% PWC, rinsing the filter media and moving the output to along the waterline. Everything seems to be back to normal now.
Cheers, Jef
That's an interesting point. I wonder if I should redirect the filter output closer to the top of the tank so that it agitates the surface more? It's one of the outputs that's about a 15" long tube with holes every inch or so. Right now it's directed through the center of the tank.
Hey all,
I have a 90G cichlid tank that has been very healthy but i'm experiencing some weird behavior in the last 12 hours. Almost everyone in the tank is swimming at the top "nose up". Whenever I walk by, they swim back to their respective hiding places but within a few minutes, they're all...
Angel fish stock
I have a 30G tank with 4 Angelfish, 2 clown loaches, 3 bala sharks and 3 red fin sharks. They all get along great. It's a fairly new tank (4 months or so) so I know that in the next few months I'll expect to upgrade it to something significantly bigger. Oh, I also keep ghost...
Fluval Edge
I have one of these tanks, and I don't find it that bad to clean. No worse really than any of my other tanks. The biggest problem that I have with it (other than how bloody expensive all of the accessories are for it) is that the opening at the top is so small that I can't put my...
Oh wow! Congrats, hopefully they each have 10 fingers and toes...wait...nevermind.
Now that I have the picture you posted of the mom holding, I'm checking mine out every day!
Interesting. I have a 90G so not a lot of room underneath for a breader tank that size. We decided to go with a smaller 16G bow front tank. Having moved all the babies over, they're doing really well.
One stupid/scarey moment though. When I set up the new tank (moved filter media and water...
Kuhli loaches?
Please don't take this as a definitive answer, but what about a couple of Kuhli loaches? Any thoughts from experienced keepers?
If you can keep them from hiding all the time, they're fun to keep...
