I understand. I hate when I go on trips because I am worried that the people I get to take care of them think " they are just fish". No! They are awesome!

Me again! This is what ( I think) I know: That the females are larger and that their anal fin is straighter. - I think it goes down perpendicular to their body. Males are a bit smaller and their anal fins are crescent shaped. When they mate the male and female will swim/ wiggle alongside one...

Hello, I have 3 silver dollars in a 45 gallon, with a leaf fish, a clown loach, and a peacock eel. I also have a couple female betas in the tank (which are going to be moved soon but everyone else is still small). I am debating if I should get more SDs and try to breed them. I do not know how to...

Hi. I am trying to learn more but this is what I know: That the females are larger and that their anal fin is straighter. - I think it goes down perpendicular to their body. Males are a bit smaller and their anal fins are crescent shaped. ( anal fins are the red fins on SDs) When they mate the...

It was recommended that I get red line sharks 10-ish for my tank ( instead of tiger barbs) and I wanted to know if they would be ok. Also the same person thought that a leaf fish and tiger barbs would be ok and not harm the other fish. I got the live gravel and sand from the fish store! It was...

I will be using a sponge from one of my established tanks to cycle faster.

Ok. I have done some reading but now I want to ask if my tanks filter will be strong enough? I have:a marineland filter pump with the tube and gravel box/filter on the end. It says 120 VAC 15AMP but nothing else. It pumps water up into the hood, through a cartridge(with the sponge and carbon...

good to know! and I will. I was trying to figure out what "the rule" was.

is the rule 1inch of fish per gallon? i don't know which rule you are talking about. also I like tiger barbs and the black ghost knife fish!

I have one of those heaters for one of my quarantine tanks and it works well.

I got my 40 gallon tank with EVERYTHING ( but heater an fish) for $100 even! Even some saltwater stuff.. Check out salvation army you might get lucky!

Similar to these but many have darker leaves.

also, while i am waiting to add the rams what other fish should I add. I don't want the tank to look empty. also, I don't know if it was you who told me but someone said that the peacock eels would not be happy with aggressive fish. Are there any fish (possibly schooling) that I could have that...

thats good to know. I would not be able to house the others so if i buy them I will get a pair. -- I will also look at the bolivian rams. spears are what my local fish breeder calls them.... I'll see if I can find another name...
