Full tank pics here

Hello! I used to post here quite a bit some time ago, but life got busy. And as it got busy not only did the forum get forgotten, but care of my fish tank dwindled. Of all the wonderful fish I had (and generations of them), I only have two platties left. And they probably aren't going to...

Best rule of thumb to remember here - no matter who posts, it is all just advice. Not of it is mandatory. Sometimes people just don't have the ability to or forget to word things in a suggestion type of way.

Thank you so much! :)

I don't have any experience with rummynose, but I did have one Buenos Aires tetra that I added later that refused to interact with my other BA tetras. He hung out instead with the Giant Danios for a long time (I think he had an identity crisis going on). About four to five weeks later, he...

No, I have no signs that it's been bad for them -- on the fish themselves. But I had people telling me it could easily injure them having a coarser substrate. I want to do what will be best for them long term.

Question! I have been contemplating changing out the gravel in my 75 gallon tank to something a little more friendly to my bottom dwellers. Currently I have black aquarium gravel, and it's probably medium sized. (I bought it back before I knew there were other options!) I've heard finer...

Based on what you've said, I suspect this is the cause of your cloudiness that keeps returning. I don't know if taking them out and soaking and boiling them now will help or hurt (others may comment), but if it was me I would take them out and soak and/or boil them. I have heard soaking alone...

Did you soak your driftwood prior to putting it in the tank? I had to boil and soak both of mine for quite some time before putting them in the tank, because they do create cloudiness if not soaked first.

Also, if you have a petsmart in your area check on them for specials. I got my 75 gallon tank WAY on sale February of last year. There are 'peak' sales seasons for fish products and non-peak seasons. During the non-peak they try to entice people to buy. I don't know all the non-peak, but I...
