Thank you for the reply's. I got this 20 gal aquarium from a friend. All her fish died suddenly. Nobody knows why. All it was left was a sick pleco that also died. Well , after all that I dumped out everything, gravel some decoration, that could not be boiled and YES all the filters. At that...

Hi I need a new bio wheel for my eclipse 2. Is there a website you guys trust? ( secure for credit card). My local and non local fish supply store do not carry the bio wheel, because it is considered a replacement part. Thank you for any help. The eclipse is cycled even without the bio...

Thank you for the reply. How long would you leave him in the 20 gal tank? I would like to convert it to an QT to get some more fishies :wink: I put in a cucumber slice the other day maybe he could not get to it. I will try other vegie's. Thank you for the link. My goldies already enjoy...

need more help please!! UPDATE Long story... finally last week the pleco made it to my house. we did a waterchange with declorifier. Last Monday I got him some Melafix and did 25 % waterchange everyday. After 2 days he started to look a little better and he turned from black into his normal...

Yes, he is the only one. All the other ones died one after the other after heater broke and nobody noticed. I am glad she is done with fishkeeping. :roll: I cant wait to stock my 2 tanks with healthy fish 55 -2 goldies and 1 betta 8O 20 soon at my home: pleco

Thank you. Yes I am moving everything, the tank, the decorations, gravel, but not the water. My friend wants to get rid of it. Leaving it there is not an option. She said she hasn't done anything to it in 2 month...arggghhh. This little one needs some loving. I will go buy the Melafix, heard a...

I hope somebody can help me. I was to pick up a friends algae eater last week. Upon looking really close at the aquarium the pleco looked like he had his fins all nipped. (maybe fin rot) The poor thing looks awful. His tail section is a little raw looking, maybe sores :cry: Now I need to pick...

Feynman.......I am not concerned with the temperature anymore. The 55 gal has a heater and filter. the 72/74 is just a compromise between betta and goldie. The betta was in a betta bowl without a heater before I got the 55 gal. Now it is a constant temp for him, even if it isn't 80F. I need to...

Thank you for the quick replys. Putting the betta and the goldies together came out of necessity. My daughter got the betta as a present in July and my son won the goldies at the fair :roll: . Last year my daughters betta died, because of to many temp. fluctuation in the winter(60-70 F within...
