Came home from Thanksgiving vacation and discovered an Ich out break in the aquarium. I think that the outbreak was caused by overfeeding which caused a bacteria bloom that stressed the fish and ushered in the Ich. Anyway I lost both of my pictus cats and a Ornada. I am pretty sure that the...

They are the fancy type.

What would happen if I were to mix a pictus cat in with gold fish? I would increase the temperature in the tank to maybe 75 degrees and the gold fish have only been in the tank for a week.

Thank you for your information.

I have got the tank up and running and I am using Goldfish to start off with. My question is can Tiger Barbs co-exist with Goldfish? Any suggestions for tank mates would be appreciated.

Thank you for your replies. I will try and get some pics once the tank is all the way up and running. I have a 29 gallon eclipse tank and hood system that I am trying to get up and running. The only thing that is holding me back is finishing the stand. Apparently the earth has rearranged...

What do I need to do in order for a couple of java ferns and /or moss to grow in my tank. i have chosen these plants due to the low light conditions that will exist in my tank.

I really appreciate the advice. I was getting scared that I would be forced to use cycle or even do a fishless cycle, lol. Anyway I will have to wait thru the weekend before I can order it but at least I can get what I want.

Also how much can I expect to pay for Bio-Spira in US dollars online or at a lfs?

Here is a link to a good article that I found about the occupancy of a fish tank. I thought that it was pretty interesting and informative. http://www.marineland.com/articles/22AqCapacity.asp

So are you saying that two neon tetras should have a 40 gallon tank?

So are you saying that two neon tetras should have a 40 gallon tank?

I appreciate it I will just pay attention to the pictus's name and hope that the lfs has it right, lol. I feel better about the clown now. I have to shop around at the lfs and see if I can find one or I will be forced to order online. Thank You, Spain

I have read conflicting size data on the following fish: Mega clown peckoltia pl*co (LDA-019)-4.5" or 5" Pictus cat-4" or 6" and/or 10" Any one have the low down on these fish and their sizes(especially their sizes)? They would be housed in a 29 gallon tank and the pictus cat would in a...
