Yes I know that the columbian sharks will get fairly large. Right now they are only about 3 inches. I'll be getting a large tank for them fairly soon. I'm a bit puzzled over the concern for the 29 gal tank though. The Oranda, giant danios, pleco, gourami and newt have been there for over 3...

I know that neither tank is a good idea but I do have to pick one of them temporarily. The columbian sharks are small just yet but I will be getting a larger tank so I felt they were fine for now. The 29 gal tank has had those fish in it for 3 years now and all is well. I think my biggest...

Hi I took in a red tail shark because it was sick and needed medication. Now I have the problem of not knowing what tank to put him in with. ( He is fine now and was isolated in my sick tank) I'm not use to having aggressive fish. I have 3 tanks. 1/ 29 gallon...has..oranda's, giant danios...

Hi My tank has been through quite a bit in the last month or so. I had several sick fish that I had to treat several times. Then I did a complete tank overhaul which mean't it was like new so it went threw the cycle process with the fish in it. Numerous water changes of course. Now all my...

I have 2 oranda's 1 black moor 1 fancy goldfish and 1 pond goldfish(which is huge). With that I also have 2 moonlite gourami's and 2 golden gourami's. I bought another 20 gallon tank last night so now I'll be separating the gourami's from the goldfish. It's sitting empty right now for the...

Oh Boy...I'm not too sure what to do here. I wish I had gone looking for this advice before picking out my fish for the tank. I did ask the ppl working in the store a lot of questions about what fish work well with what. I had realised when my tank got sick and I got advice again that I...

Thanks for the response. My amonia level is 0. It was very high but with numerous water changes and the cycling process moving into nitrites..its not a prob now, although I do check it every day. My nitrites area about .8 (3.3 mg/L) and my nitrates are about 60 (110.0 mg/L). My ph is sitting...

Hi I've had numerous problems with my tank in the last few weeks...but to make a long story short...I had to do a complete tank overhaul because my fish were getting sick with several different things. Now that that's under control I have a cloudy water problem. I know that my tank is going...

I did have my temperature at 76 deg but in order for the salt to bennifit the nitrite problem it has to be above 78...I only just raised it yesterday. This has been an ongoing problem for 3 weeks now so it can't be because of that. Thanks though.

I still have all the fish that I listed in the origional post. My tank is 29 gallons with just an activated carbon filter as well as a sponge. I placed some gravel from an established tank in my filter for bacteria. I have an oxygen stone. The gravel is only 1 week old so I haven't cleaned it...

Hi I have a 29 gallon tank with 1 black moor,1 blue oranda,1 fancy goldfish,4 gorami's and 1 pond goldfish. I've had it since oct and it was healthy for a while until the pond goldfish got stuck inside a log and I had a hard time getting her out and in the process she got injured. At this time...

Hmmm ok...its hard to explain....I'm not sure if its called a wen...he looks like a bubble head....lol......ok...theres chunks of it that are lose and look like their going to fall off...kinda like having a bunch of little eggs on his head but some of them are grouping off and lose.....he also...

Hiya I hope someone can help with this. My Oranda's head is starting to loosen considerably and looks like chunks of it will be coming off soon. The tank appears to be in good health and all other fish are fine. The Oranda seems fine otherwise. Anyone have any advise. I've just put in...

part 2 I don't know what the amonia level is nor the nitrate reading. I have 1 knewt 8 african frogs 3 moonlite gourami's 1 blue oranda 1 black oranda 2 congo tetra Seasons

Hi I just started a tank about 2 weeks ago and its cloudy and smells like swamp water. I did notice that I was feeding my fish too much and replaced the filter and cleaned the bottom....maybe I should mention that my bottom is reptile sand. I have used a product called cycle but its a no...
