I tried to post a pic but for some reason it didn't load :(

I have a 90 gallon tank with 2 silver dollars, a zebra loach, 3 rose lined sharks, 4 glo tetras, 3 dwarf blood gouramis, 2 powder blue dwarf gouramis, a Bolivian ram cichlid, 3 boesmani rainbow fish, 2 clown plecos, and a Cory cat. Within the last 2 days my Cory cat has shredded fins! I don't...

Ok, so I just decided to buy a bigger tank and put the Oscar in it along with 5 silver dollars and possibly another bottom fish like a yoyo loach. Would a 90 gallon work or should I go for a 125?

Thanks y'all! I wish I could keep both tanks but my husband said only one big one :(. I'm going to try and work on him more tonight though, as switching them sounds like a great idea! Is there another fish I could put in the 90 with the Oscar? I've had him for about 2 years. Got him when he...

I am looking at getting a 90 gallon tank for my house. We just got back from the Bahamas and my 11 month old son just LOVED the aquariums. We currently have 2 tanks, but one is tiny (5 gallon) and the other is a 45 gallon with one Oscar in it. I want to get a big tank with lots of fish for...

Thanks so much! I have since lost all the neons. I'm heartbroken and feel terrible. :(. I'm hoping my last tetra will hang in there but he is still sucking air from the top and looking poorly, so I don't have high hopes. I think I will have to clean out the tank and then re-cycle it. But I...

Just so I know and don't cause any problems like this in the future, how often should I be doing PWC? Filter changes? My big tank with my Oscar I have never really had an issue with but I mostly just rinse his filter parts off and only change one aspect of the Fluval filter every few months...

Thanks. I guess maybe that is it. I will try and start doing more regular water changes and less filters and see if that helps. Hopefully I don't loose all these guys :(.

I do a PWC about once every month, and change one filter out then. I just did another PWC after I pulled the dead neon out. I did check the ammonia and nitrite and both are zero.

Well, in the last 30 minutes one of my neons has died. :(. Please help before I loose any more!

I have 3 neons and a small tetra (not sure what species) in a 5 gallon tank. I have had the tank up and running for over a year with no issues. Saturday (3 days ago) I did a 40% PWC and changed one of the filters out (there are 2 and it says to change one every 2 weeks. I rinsed it well...
