Full tank pics here

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

Neither, the blue are Badis-Badis-Badis and are a Dark Blue and sometimes almost Black when they are showing off. The picture you have of the Scarlet is actually Badis-Bengalensis, which is now Dario. The other pic is of Badis-Burmanicus. Sad to say all my Badis are gone now - gave them to the LFS.

I have approximately 20 Badis that I need to part with. I have Badis-Badis (Blue) and Badis-Burmanicus(Turquoise and red-black checkered). I have tried to sell them to my LFS but they won't buy. All they want is to give me a 20% discount on my next purchse! I bought my original's from them at...

Opps, Sorry folks, that wasn't the No2 that spiked- it was the Nh3! Doh!

Well, My 30 Gallon FW final cycled! On Saturday I did a 50% pwc and tested, but there was minimal change. Today, however- my Nh3 is 0, my No2 is 0 and my No3 is 5. On another note: My 55 Gallon FW that I setup on Dec 4th has already cycled! I used the Fishless Cycling Revisited article...

I have some questions too... My 30 gallon has been running for 2 months now. Ammonia is 0, Nitrite is 2.0 and Nitrate is 0. The Nitrite has been at 2.0 for weeks and I have been doing water changes. I just did a 1/3 change Monday night and tested today- there was no change! Anyone have any...

Thanks folks! The fry are now one week old- haven't been able to get any good pictures. These bowfronts make it hard to get good shots! Plan to have some soon.

Hello everyone, I am new to this and already have MTS. It all started with my buddy being given a 30 gallon Hex about 7 weeks ago. I got involved in helping, planning and research. I bought my first tank last weekend, quick cycled it from the 30, and moved over the Badis and made a species...

Thanks for the help! I got a sponge filter of the "dirt magnet" type and it works great.
