I also have the walmart stands for both my 55 gallon and 29 gallon tanks. They work great and I have never had any problems with them whatsoever. Definitely worth it for the cost. Jen

So sorry to hear about your fish...don't lose hope yet, sometimes you'd be surprised wht they can live through. If you have some melafix you could try adding that to your tank to help heal his wounds. Good luck! Jen

I have 5 bloodfin tetras in my 29. They are super active and pretty neat looking because they are silver with bright red fins and tails. They tend to school together for the most part, but also like to explore the tank on thier own. They seem pretty hardy (haven't lost any of them). I...

Dojo loaches tend to prefer lower temperatures. These fish are not exactly the prettiest ones out there, but they definitely have a great personality (like dogs almost).

I have two dojos and both are a little skittish of me if I come up on them too fast. They both will swim all over the tank until they see me coming. One of them will freeze and kind of check me out while the other bolts. I think it's probably a personality issue. As long as he's eating, I...

I was just wondering what kind of fish others kept with their dojo loach. Thanks in advance!

My bloodfin tetras are relatively small fish. They are active and pretty to watch and don't seem to bother any of the other fish in the tank...

I don't have any algea in my tank; however, I do have a clown pleco that does an okay job at getting rid of it. There is a really good article on how to use potassium permanganate http://www.fishprofiles.com/interactive/forums/thread.asp?id=46775 apparently you're supposed to be able to get it...

i3k I have been having the exact same problem with my fish and nothing seems to be working. No ick, no spots, just flashing all over the place. What kind of loaches do you have? Mine are angelicus/kubotai and the problem seemed to have started when I added them to my tank for some reason...

fishfamily, I had ghost shrimp for a while in a tank with my danios and they got along great. Then, I got some tiger barbs and the ghost shrimp started hiding. A few days later, I looked in the tank to see the one of the barbs with a shrimp tail hanging out of his mouth! My guess the culprit...

There actually are freshwater puffers. Many do prefer more brackish conditions; however. Here is a site that briefly explains the different types of puffer fish http://www.aquariumfish.net/catalog_pages/brackish_water/puffer_figure_eight.htm :)

I had some of these for about a month. They eat practically everything they can. Mine even came to the top for flakes occassionally. They are very neat and can be pretty active, especially when they start swimming all over the tank. They also shed their "skin" which is definitely neat and...

You're Fiji! As calm, relaxed, and removed from life as they come, you're just so chilled out, it hurts people to see you. Everyone aspires to be where you are, but most of them just can't put their stress away. Little do they know that even you sometimes have inner turmoil and struggles! For...
