Well I guess ill keep the danios in a seperate tank and get some more black skirts. When I first started I used 2 black skirts and shrimps to cycle since they were on sale, when I introduced the angel (in the 20 gallon) they were fine. The nipping only occurrence after I "rescued" a highfin...

Finished cycling a 29 gallon I got and moved over the angel fish and 2 black skirt tetras. Next morning I wake up the angels fins are nipped, so I take out the tetra and move over the zebra danios I have 3 days later. Woke up today and the danios oft him with nothing but a stub ... all the...

I recently bought a used 29g long with 1/4" glass and resealed it. I am about 2 weeks into a leak test now and no leaks. When I went to put on the glass top I noticed the glass in front is around 1/8th of an inch of bowing in the front and back. I am wondering if this is normal or should I tear...

I've looked for the trim for a tank for a while now,can't find my measurement lol. As far as leaking the tank has been fine for a week now with water in it and no leak. I just added the foam. May go back in tomorrow and trim Down The wood a tad not or put some foam along the back/side...

I am setting up a tank i just resealed, i want to put sand as the title says. I do not live close by a petstore and live within a few miles of a HomeDepot, Menards, and other hardware stores. I have read numerous threads of sands, but i do not know which would be the "proper" grain size for my...

That link was helpful. Too bad my childhood marble dinosaur cant go into the tank. Guess making the caves will do for my own touch in the fish tank :whistle:

I admitt i did it as well when i was younger, and my mother did her best to control my mistake. LFS sold us Male/Female Guppies, before we knew it our cat was the only way to stop the fishes from crushed on the floor. Havent had a tank since, but i have read up a lot and talk to people who have...

Thank you, is there any rocks that i should avoid into placing in? I am going to call up my brother-inlaw and get some of the slate he has laying around so i can hopefully have it done by the time the new set up is done cycling.

Thanks! So both slate and driftwood have the same procedure?.. I had read to put an airstone in on the bottom, but i suppose thats just a prefference. And would the "moss growing" with rocks/pots with water in light be ok for the otos? havent read a thread confirming it, but i was...

I like this idea I found on here: http://www.aquariumadvice.com/forums/f20/new-aquarium-layout-slate-194399.html I was thinking of something more or less along the lines of that with sand along the bottom, and a white or black background with some other little homemade pvc caves. Thanks...

How so? I have read boiling it with and without salt, do you know which it is? Also would i have to boil everything i put into my tank? I was reading a DIY on slates, (i have some laying around) but the process to how they were cleaned wasnt mentioned in the threat.

I currently got a 30 gal off my brother in-law. Just reasealed it, and made a stand/trim to hold the tank. I left some clearance to put the tank in, about 6mm on each side. 3mm front/back. The tank sits on foam (1/2 inches of foam) , ( incase my house's slant would put stress on the tank)...

Guess I'm going to a creek :cool:

Thanks. I'm looking to make some sort of rock stack for the tetras/ catfish to hide/play in. I wasn't planning on so many fish, but I was at school and found them in the tank when I got home. On another note: I have grown to like the ghost shrimp since they get along so well with the...

Hello, i am new to this site. Well straight to the point, i know some things about fishes, but not a lot and will be spending some time doing research to improve the life of the fishes my fiancee and her family bought. The current set up her family pushed upon me is 5 zebra danios, 3 otos...
