If your unsure, can't find a catagory, or there is more than one species in the pic...put it here.

Good thread! 1. People driving fast in the SLOW lane...

While I've never seen a "fully grown" Clown Loach in any of our LFS, I have a bit of experience with large Clown Loaches. We have had 3. Clown Loach Number 1 grew to about 5 inches long, and lived 9 years. She (only a guess as to sex) was probably stunted from water that was too hard, as I had...

No takers?

That's right - tank, stand, 2 pumps... all for a steal at $75 No it is NOT drilled. Also, I have the undergravel filter plates. Reply here or PM me if interested.

Just for clarification: the Fluval and Magnum pumps have been down for 3-4 years. The tank itself was fully functionally until March '05 and this stand is appropriate and will support a 55 gallon tank as well. I'm reducing the price to $75. I really need to get rid of some fish equipment, my...

For Sale: Perfecto 45 gallon long tank and pine stand, with dark brown stain finish. Tank measures 48" long x 12" wide x 18.75" high. Stand is 33 high at lip; 32 high where tank sits inside stand. Also included: 48" flourescent single bulb light fixture and either a Fluval 303 or Magnum...

Sounds like Dropsy to me. It is an infection which shuts down the fish's ability to expel waste liquids from its body. Cure rates are hit and miss. I recently lost a female Ram to the same thing; she ate normally until the end, but her symptoms never improved. You can try Melafix, but I know...

I've never seen one in action, but I suppose the theory behind it is that the plants (houselhold?) would absorb the excess nitrates and such from the aquarium water. As an avid gardener, I have two concerns: 1) it couldn't be used with a saltwater setup, as the salinity levels would surely...

I agree with Fluff....pic 1...long slender, looks like a male. Pic 3, the pink belly is generally the sign of a female.

Although the lighting is very low, you can grow plants in an Eclipse 12. I took background I bought from PetSmart and completely covered the the back and left and right sides, leaving only the front exposed. This helps keep as much light inside the tank as possible. I currently have 1 rather...

Agreed... It's a julii.... I have 3, and they are very beautiful.

I've read in several posts about certain plants needing "nutrient rich" substrates. What exactly qualifies a substrate as being nutrient rich? I will be upgrading my 30 long to a 40 soon and I will be replacing my gravel. My 30 gal is heavily planted with 3.2 wpg and C02 injection. My 40 gal...
