I never thought about lead! Wow, glad I asked first. I really don't want to risk it. My grandfather purchased glass from all over the world, so there is no telling about the heavy metal content. Thanks guys!

Hi All, I have several pieces of cut stained glass remnants from a pile of stained glass at my grandfather's old stain glass business. There are probably about 25-30 pieces total with all different colors and shapes. The glass is about 3/4 inch thick. I was thinking about creating a cave for my...

Yay!!!

I wouldn't recommend treating their tank simply because I did and screwed up the cycle when all the bb got killed off. Do you have a hospital tank?

What's the temp at? I'm so sorry you are going through this:-(

Is it safe to do them daily until the ammo levels are down, and how much?

Oh, and I use prime during wc's.

It is a 40 gallon half hexagon with natural gravel/rock as substrate and white rock. The plants are a mixture of plastic and some sort of fabric. The Convict is 7years old and 4-5 inches, and the plecostamus is new and is about 5inches long. Bought a new Fluval C4 filter, one central airstone. I...

This makes the most sense. It is scientific, and that would enable me to really know what is going on in the tank. Thank you! I got my API teat kit in, and it showed high pH, 8.6, high ammonia, about 6-8 ppm, and normal nitrites and nitrates. So if I am correct, the tank still doesn't have...

How old is he? Also, maybe somebody better versed than me can correct me, but I think I remember reading about adding vitamin drops to the water, and garlic is supposed to be great for them too. Have you changed his food lately?

Good luck! I hope he gets better:-)

The reason I ask is because I have my convict at 82. He seems quite happy at this temp. He was freezing at 74. Oh, and I also recently accidentally cooked him at about 95. He's fine now, and even seems better afterwards. He had always lain on his side when I got him from my sister. She had two...

Okay, so I got this pleco about two weeks ago, and he has been the laziest! Then, all of a sudden, I almost cooked my Convict, had creepy water conditions, and stressed the heck out of the pleco when I drained the tank to the top of his back... ...then yesterday he swam all over the tank and...

The fish are beautiful, and so is the tank. I would suggest adding lots of greenery for them to hide in.
