- So...what are the eggs?

- I forget what the name of the fish is?? - If it's a male staking out territory, then what are the little "eggs" in the bottom picture? - My tank is 50g bow front.

- I got this fish a few weeks ago, and in the last few days "she" has been digging a hole by picking pebble by pebble with her mouth. - Today I noticed that she's chasing others away from the hole and there's little grey "eggs" in there. - Is she having babies? - Are they eggs that have to be...

- I've only had him a week, and he's good looking fish. - It pisses me off that he hides, but I'll try some driftwood.

- My Rainbow Pleco was "out and about" when I purchased him. - Now that he's home, he's always hiding in my decorations. - Is this the nature of the beast or what? - It'd be nice to see him every once and awhile.

- The temp of the water is the same as wshat is already there, and I condition the water as soon as it goes in the tank. - It's the same thing I've been doing for the last 3 months.

- Ok, something is really EFFED up here! - I just filled my tank, and I've had three fish die in the last 15 mins!! - Temp is ok, I've added my water conditioner and now this! - I haven't done anything different than my last 8 pwc's. - As I type, I've got another Silver Danio floating! -...

- I'm in the midst of doing a 50% water change right now. - I'll check the ammonia again in 24hrs and monitor as needed. - Thanks for all the help!
