That's what I was hoping, thanks.

I have this white stuff on a new piece of wood. Tank is only like 2 weeks old. Nitrites are just finishing up. There's at least one rogue snail in there that hitched a ride. That looks kind of like a fungus right? Any ideas ?

Ha ha no blood drawn. Might finger might have resembled an earthworm, who knows. That sounds like a beast of a fish! Anything that scares a big jag must be a hard fish to find a home for. Its too true that big fish are left homeless so often in this hobby, actually thats how I got my O's...

Yea thats my biggest hurdle is finding something full grown in the species I want. Crayfish would likely be food for the O's, probably killed within minutes, but if it was too big it would take chunks out of their fins. (And then likely die for it, lol) These guys arent scared of a whole lot...

I will look into those thanks for the tip. Its gonna come down to what part of the tank they live in, looking for something that spends its time in the bottom 3-4 inches so they don't compete with my Os for space. If you want to debate this we can. As long as my water is testing 0, 0, and...

Well you are in luck because someone ID'd it for me on MFK. Its a Sun Catfish. I decided to pass on it because they are supposed to be shy/non active during the day. The general consensus from what I just read, is that the Suncats are pretty mellow, dont bother anybody, and max out at 9-12"...

Hey all, I saw this catfish today at my LFS and the guy working didnt know what it was. Im looking to get a large-ish bottom dweller to go with my 2 Oscars in my 90 and clean up the scraps because when they eat they shred the pellets, letting 10-20% of each pellet crumble to the bottom of the...

About 3.5 weeks ago I upgraded from a 10 to 20 gallon tank. I kept filter from 10 gallon on for about 2.5 weeks. New substrate (sand), new water, a few new decorations (rocks from another tank, fake plants). One week ago I took the second filter off so I could fit on my proprietary...

thanks for the advice, I will try to get a pic of the shrimp to see if its really a shrimp but I googled some species of both shrimp and crayfish and although I cant seem to find an exact match he looks like a shrimp to me.

Thanks for the responses looks like an instant switch is the way to go.

Right now I have a 10 gallon tank that is a little crowded and unhealthy. Tank has been around for 10 weeks and has 9 fish in it and one shrimp. Me and my roommates want to upgrade to a 29 gallon soon. If I set up the 29 gallon and add all of the stuff from the first tank, including filter...

My roommates and I have been having trouble with our 10 gallon, freshwater community tank. Its kind of a long story and alot of these dates are estimations, except for the length of time the aquarium has been around. I got some advice today from the guy at petco, but I dont really trust it. I...
