:confused:Starting a 55 gallon planted & fish setup. My Question is if I biuld 2 6" long 2" high 6"deep caves in the bottom hilly aqua scape, do I need to have air pumps pump air into them so there is no dead spots of water movement for proper filteration? I have a ehiem proIII canester filter.

I lke that idea.

Oh yea after taking out mom from 10 gallon take some water out of tank and add 1 quater teaspoon of new life secteum fish food and put in blender. I feed new life in all my tanks best fish food ime.

sharkbait, no offense but I had 80% of my fry live. But when I see them ready to burst I put them in 10gallon tank always 90% original home tank water in 10 gallon tank water and small amount of filter media in 10 gallon.jumbaa thats cruel!

Put cheese cloth over intake... A fry tank does not need a powerful filter. When they reach a reasonable size remove them. 10 gallon tank minium.

by the way I am told gn can live 25 years, do not know if true.

I do not know about world wide. In us most lfs. www.aquaticfoods.com for blackworms you will learn alot about them. By the way I never feed algae pellets ime it makes them lazy.They get enough algae from tank, yes even in well kept aquariums because even though you dont see it its there.

Bumer. Most live bearers are fairly easy to breed if you use common sense and watch closely. In your case buy the net and hope he dont get eaten untill u get back

My own experience. Ok here it is. Water 7.0 to 7.2 no more no less. temp constant as possible 82. hardness 8can vary a little not much.over filtered tank.Must, driftwood,zuccini every 2 weeks,(california blackworms), shrimp frozen or brine bloodworms one of above twice a week. Fish that do not...

I had a uncovered tank as a newbie and had 2 danos jump out. Always covered know, I love my fish and hate funerals down the tiolet. I play a water fall cd.

I disagree IMO pleco's are the best ae. True they do poop alot, but if you do regular gravel cleanings once a month they will keep your tank clean. If you get live plants you will not have to vacum.I never had a dirty tank with plecos.They eat the algae and clean the bottom of leftover food...

Also depending on types of mollies you will get assorted colors, mine where mostly dalmation because it is there natual color in wild.Also lfs owner said my mollies had better survival and stonger then where he got his.

he will eventully get eaten probally the others did. You will have many more fry most get eaten right away my mother or other fish in tank. What other fish are in tank? If you want to raise them, put mother in a heated filtered 10 gallon tank when it looks like she is ready to burst. then when...

PS IMO pleco's are the best ae out there and fun to watch.Never had a dirty tank with them.

Yes, they are peacefull jus go about there job. Just feed specific food for them like peelets and veggies. My fish any really all ways get shrimp and some kind of worm, mostly bloodworms once or twice a week and. I've always had heathy fish and tanks. It seems to work.They love it they go crazy...
