Iall I have now is plants and a pretty bubbly tank... It has been about 7 hours now without fish.

I am new to aquariums, but here are 2 links.. One to my original post I don't want to repost here.. http://www.aquariumadvice.com/forums/f15/finally-decided-to-take-the-plunge-banghead-than-182150.html And pics of my plants/tank.. Aquarium 1 pictures by super_fly13 - Photobucket Any and all...

And no, I no longer have fish. I will check out our links and thank you both!!

I think part of the problem is that I don't know what lesson I learned, because I don't know why it died.. But I will make **** sure I get things straight before it happens again. Here is a link to the pics.. well they are actually videos even though it is a picture. Somehow they ended up this...

Thanks. I am really disappointed in myself. I got off duty and when I got to my room, there was the other, motionless on the gravel. I don't care about the money or anything like that, but because of my mistakes yet another had to die. No more fish until perfection. Now... so the plants don't...

Thank you very much! About how much salt would that be?

In this new lifestyle, rules are very very strict.. for now. But they are changing. Fish are already a new love anyway so I don't mind. To wvanderborg, I read in a few places that mollys will thrive in either one, and my concern is for futre residents as well.. I want other fish as well as...

I would have already gotten a mud or musk turtle, I even asked if an Axolotl would be okay and nope. I would need to go through so much red tape and higher up approval and ridiculous headaches, and even then it would take a lot of time and isn't guaranteed. Only fish... for now. I will, however...

I forgot to add I seeded the tank with plants, gravel, and filter media the guy at petco gave me. This petco is shockingly good it seems. I actually don't mind going there because even the reptiles seem well taken care of. There is a first for everything I guess. I'm not sure what else you all...

Okay, hello all! First, I want to say I am a reptile guy. Have been for the past 10 years or so. Always liked aquariums but never tried my fancy. Then learned I cannot keep reptiles here, only a max 30g aquarium. I have been a member a while and have spent the time reading and researching.. a...

What would you suggest then? I'm just trying to figure out the best possible combo. Would smaller faster fish without oscars be better with the turtles or would it be better to have less, larger fish?

It wouldn't work even with plenty of hiding places for the other fish? About filtration (The main thing I am researching now because I am truly baffled on what to do:crazyeyes:), I have decided on a only one thing for sure. I want to make them myself. I want to try these designs only modified...

Thank you! I thought I had said that I will be incorporating quite a few separate basking sights and wet asking sites but I may have missed that. I of course will have at least one empty tank to set up in case something goes wrong though. As for waste, I think I will have enough filtration for a...

I completely understand the points made. I read something about how someone did an experiment and when fish were kept in the turtle tanks all their lives, they were less likely to go after them. I would try something like this. The turtles will be raised together from hatchlings, so that they...

Okay, First and foremost, I have just begun research into the aquarium world. This build will be built at the soonest, in 4 years.. most likely more. I have a bit of experience (about 6 years) keeping reptiles, so I know quite a bit about them and requirements. I have read and cared for a ton of...
