Well, I moved the albino cory and he is much happier with his 2 buddies I got in his 10 gal tank. I also got another sterbai cory for my 55 gal. I found out that I don't have 2 plecos, but one common and the other is actually a feather finned catfish. I think it is getting to big for my...

I also am curious to what kind of pleco we have? :fish2:

A friend gave me this fish and I am not sure what kind of catfish it is. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Thank you!!

Hopefully this is my last post! I am working on getting my 10 gal fish ready. It was having super high ammonia readings so we moved all the fish to a 55 gal tank. I emptied almost all of the water from the 10 gal, minus about a half inch above the gravel. I refilled it, used seachems and...

I think they are both common. One is already almost 6 inches long. That is the one I got from a friend who got it from her dad bc he was going to be traveling and didn't want it. She has 3 in a 30 gal and is trying to find homes for them. I didn't know they were so poopy. :) Ok, I will...

Thank you for replying. By "they" I meant the plecos. I think I will return one back to my friend. I don't need a poop factory. Without the plecos or just having one, do you still need to do the water changes weekly? I thought having the fluval would help with that? My gravel is red. So...

I currently have a 55 gallon tank - not planted, it contains: 5 tiger barbs 1 sterbai cory - saw should have 4 1 albino cory - saw should have 4 3 harlequin respora - saw should have 5 3 zebra danio - saw should have 5 4 neon tetras - saw should have 5 2 glo tetras - can't find on the widget 2...

Ok, I have been looking at the AqAdvisor and it seems the biggest stocking problem my tank will have is with the 2 plecos. I have a fluval 306 filter and a TetraTec pf150. If I take those 2 fish out of my tank I am at ~50% stocked. Adding the 2 plecos puts me over 100% stocked. Do they...

Just learning the forum. I think I sent your a PM instead of replying here! Thank you for the welcome!

I did order the big test kit, the one with the viles to test the water using the bottle droppers. I am only testing weekly. Should I test more frequently? I also have some of the test strips. I started with the strips and switched bc of all the ammonia issues I had in my 10gal.

The tank came with red gravel. I *think* the plecos are Hypostomus plecostomus. The one I had is only about 2.5" long, the one I got from my friend (her dad gave her 3 for her 30 gal tank) is about 5.5" long. I have the other cory, peppered I think? They are never together. The albino swims...

Hi everyone. I am very new to fish keeping. This might be long, please bare with me. We started with a 10 gal tank and ran into issues due to not cycling it, over stocked (13 fish) and 3 kids each giving a pinch to feed the fish. That tank is now running but minus fish (fake plants) and I am...

Hi, I have always wanted a fish tank and finally got one this year for my birthday. We started with a 10 gal and had ammonia problems (not cycled, too many fish and over feeding due to 3 kids trying to each give a pinch). We didn't lose any fist but inherited a 55 gal. I have a few questions...
