Lol, that's a good way to do it

He is actually still breathing. I have him in a bowl, he is just laying upside down barely breathing. Is he curable? Any idea what could be wrong with him?

I feel terrible, I have no idea what happened to him. He was doing great, I have had home since September then he started looking a little faded and beat up. His scales were looking damaged and just old I guess is the only way to describe it. He was suffering for a couple days then I find him...

I do have it all hooked up through a surge protector which is why I don't understand how it exploded. Thank you all for your help and concern

Something happened to flip the braker and the power on my tank went out. I turned it back on and the heater blew up, there was glass everywhere and black clouds filled the tank. I did about a 25% water change, got the black stuff out. Put some aquarium salt in. Are my fish going to be ok? Is...

I have a South American cichlid tank with 2 convicts. My smallest fish is maybe about a 1-1/2 inch convict. I They usually all get along great but I just now noticed my smallest convict has a pretty badly damaged tailfin. I am really worried about it. I don't know if they are male or female. I...

I had a parrot fish in my 75 with SA Cichlids and it would not come out for anything, not even food. I actually had had to shake him out of the hiding spot. I only had him for a few days and I returned him. It has been my experience that they do not work well together. The parrot fish was bigger...

I have a 75g with a jack and convicts and some other fish. I love them. Yours look beautiful, how old are they?

I love it, it really looks beautiful great job

I got some fake plants, I will post some pictures later. I can't find any decent sized caves in the pet stores here.

I am looking for decor suggestions or equipment. Sand sounds really cool, I love well planted tanks but I am worried about my fish. I have a melon sword in there now. They haven't uprooted it or eaten it but it is not doing well at all. It's all brown. Do you think I can get away with planting...

I want to spend this money wisely and need some suggestions. I have 2 convicts, 2 plecos, a Texas, jack, and fire mouth. I have plenty o rocks, bubble stones, one plant, a great heater and filters. What would you buy to make my tank better?

I am wanting to add height but I can't figure out how. I am hoping to eventually get more plants as I see how this first one goes. I try to stack rocks but it is really hard to find the right rocks to make caves and things like that. I hope it's not stressing them out too much having such an...

That is a beautiful tank! Very well done, I love it.

I have a Texas, jack Dempsey, fire mouth, two convicts and 2 plecos. I just added some rocks I picked up from the rail road tracks and a melon sword. They picked at it for a minute and then quickly have up on it. Would love to hear comments and suggestions!
