I'm planning on getting another tank. It will be a 30 gallon(36"L X 12"W X16"H). The substrate will be black and it will have a combination of plants (fake) and rocks. I would like to put in the tank 4 Rams, 2 each lof 2 different colors. As an example 2 Ruby Rams and 2 Blue Rams. I might also...

I just bought a pair of Black Mollies for my 55 gallon community tank. The other fish in the tank are Angels, Tetras (Serpa, Columbian, Emporer) swords and catfish. I was always under the impression that Mollies are midwater and bottom of the tank fish. For some reason these mollies stay right...

susankat wrote "No it don't come in black, I just bought black blasting sand for $11 for an 80 lb bag." I am assuming that black blasting sand is ok to use with the fish without any problems, right ? Where did you buy it ? Home Depot, Lowes, and/or similar type stores? Thanks

On all of my tanks I have Pool Filter Sand as a substrate. I'm happy with the PFS since it's easy to clean, looks good, inexpensive ($10 for 50 lbs), and the fish seem to like it. BUT................ I'm thinking about getting a 30 gallon long (30L x 12W x 16H) and using it mostly for tetras...

mfdrookie516..........I have the mbuna tank set up already Flake.........I'm afraid thnat if I put guppies in they would get eaten. I was thinking black mollies (as in orange sailfin). Are the dalmation more productive than the black ?

I'm plannin g on setting up another 55 gallon (4 foot long) community tank. The substrate will be sand and it will have plants (fake) and rocks. Besides the catfish(cories and bristlenose) I plan on having some angels,a small school of serpae and 3 smaller clown loaches. I want some livebearers...

In the last few days I've found a few of my fish in the 55 gallon tank d.ead. They were 3 Angels (body size about a 1/2 $ size or slightly larger) and a Serpae Tetra. The only fish that I have noticed having aggressive tendencies towards the Angels and Serpae in the tank were the 2 Yoyo loaches...

I have a 55 gallon tank(4 feet long) with Angels, Serpae, swordtails (for live food), loaches(Yoyo &Clown) and a school of small albino corys. The tank has a sand substrate with rocks and some (fake) plants. I'm thinking of add 2 Kribs to the tank. Would they "fit in" with the other fish?

thominil..........PetsMart has also raised the price of the Top Fin bags so that they are just $1 less than the Whisper bags

I don't use the pre filled kind, I usae the ones where you put the charcoal in. They come unassembled. The pre filled are too expensive ($2.50-$3 each). The best that I can get out of a bag is oner month. After that they start falling apart when I try tol rinse them. I use 2 bags per filter...

I have Whisper hob filters in all of my tanks. Up until recently I was able to buy the LARGE size bio bags (unassembled) at a national retailer for $9 for 12 bags. The local stores would honor the on line price that this national retailer showed on line. All of a sudden, BOOM, the price on line...

Thanks for your help so far.......... I see where bs6749 and beglely said that the rams and the clown loaches are a "no no". beglely even said that about rams and angels. WHY ? bs6749, just to clarify this for me. When it comes tro rams that are blue there are only 2 kinds, Bolivian and...

OK, I've been strongly advised by members of this forum, among others, that I can not put 2 blue rams in my 20 gallon high that already has 2 good sized gold rams and a large Angel and a pleco in it. I wouldn't even think of putting the 2 blue rams in my African tank. That leaves my other 55...

I'm having a problem in one of my 55 gallon tanks. The original inhabitants of the tank were 6 Angel fish (approx 1/2$ size, not including fins), 3 clown loaches, 2 yo yo loaches,1 small cory, 1 syno,1 pleco, and 2 Labeo crythrurus( black shark with ALL fins being red Since I wanted 'live food'...

One of my tanks is a 20 gallon high (23" wide,12" deep, and 16" high), planted with small, low FAKE plants. In the tank is a mature angel, 2 Gold Rams, 1 smaller albino bushynose catfish. I wanted to add 2 Blue Rams, but have been advised against that. Since the tank looks empty (but peacefull)...
