Ok, I have this stupid sand, that I asked about in the other post. It is sooo light that everytime my teeny little ADF kick off to swim, little balls of what I assume is Argonite float up to the top of the tank. What is the purpose of argonite? And how the heck am I gonna vaccum this stuff...

I'm switching my 10 gallon to an all ADF tank, so today at LFS I bought a lil bag of "marine sand" for the substrate. When I got it home, it said to soak it, which I did, for about 10 minutes (didn't say how long). So, when it's soaking, all these little ball looking things come up to the top...

I love these lil frogs.. and I would like to have an ADF only tank. Right now I have a 10 gallon with 3 guppies in it. I think I will move the guppies to the 29 gallon, and make the 10 gallon just for frogs.. soo.. how many can I put in there? I already have one, and he needs some buddies. Thanks!

We are leaving tomorrow for 5 days.. and I was wondering how my dwarf frog will fare without food for that long. I know the fish will be ok.. but if the ADF might starve in that amount of time.. I can try to find someone to come feed him. Thanks!

I have 4 of them, 3 females from a friend and one male from LFS. The male's tail fins is very brightly colored, and he also has spots of like, purple and orange all over his lil body. The females are pretty plain looking.. is that just the way the species is, or are they dyed (I hope not!)? Thanks!

I feed my ADF with a teaspoon when he comes to the surface. Sometimes, I can't get the mysis shrimp he likes thawed out in time to feed him. I have been keeping some thawed out in the fridge to make this easier, but was wondering how long I could leave them like that? Thinkin maybe 3-4 days?? Tanks!

Hey everybody! I just wanted to let everyone who has been so helpful know that the tank seems to be levelling off! Ihave had no fish deaths in close to 2 weeks now, and everybody is doing great! They are all growing really fast, and swiiming all around! I think I am going to take the corys back...

When I do PWC, can I add all the water first, THEN add the Aqua Safe?? I have been putting just a litlle bit in each bucket, and I think I'm using too much, b/c my bucket will only hold about 3 gallons.. Thanks!!

Welp,, guess I figured out what was killing the fish!! I just got my nitrate kit (they were out of nitrite).. and it tested as high as it can go! I am doing 50% PWC right now.. what else can I do to get them to come down!?!?!?

Man, at the rate I am asking questions.. I'll be able to actually answer some soon!!! Will a 100W heater fry my 10G if I keep it on the lowest setting?? I have an extra one, and would like to save the cost of buying a mini heater.. I know it probably won't work.. but I thought maybe someone had...

Do they work.. or better yet.. HOW do they work?? I have seen them in LFS, but thought they were just another gadget to get my cash.. Thanks! Ok.. I just read HOW they work.. I think I get it.. but do they work well??

Ok.. I read the rule about 1 gallon per inch,, then ya read the disclaimer that says, well, it depends on what fish you have.. it's so ambiguous! I would like to get just a few more fish.. here's what I have now: 3 albino gold tetras 1.5 in 4 painted glass tetras 1/1.5 in 3/1 inch 2 dwarf...

By this I mean one you have now, or have had in the past! Feel free to post a pic of your fave! I have no SW experience, and minimal FW, but I like my dwarf gouramis. They are so pretty and playful!

By this I mean one you have now, or have had in the past! And feel free to post a pic of your fave! Well.. I don't have much experience, but I really like my dwarf gouramis.. they are so pretty and playful!

Ok.. I have the heater from WalMart.. 100 W in a 29 G tank. 2 days ago I did 25% PWC and forgot to turn the heater off. It was only exposed about 2 inches below the "water line" marking. I kept an eye on the temp and it stayed steady 78 degrees (using one of those sticky therm.) . Today I put in...

Well, after my last post about Mr. Froggy (My african dwarf frog) I got concerned about him not eating. Soo.. I thawed some Mysis shrimp and put them in the fridge. When he came up to the top of the tank to float, I got the shrimp out and put a few on the end of a teaspoon. Opened the lid, and...

Should I leave it on all the time? I turned it off last night b4 bed, and this morning it took almost and hour for it to get back fully bubbling again.. is it ok to leave it on all the time?? I think it did that b/c I have it kinked in 2 places (wrapped in a tight coil) to help hide the intake...

Well.. I just got a bubble wall thingie.. and one of my new gouramis won't stay out of it!! I watched him float up and down on the largest stream of bubbles for over an hour last night.. and now he's doing it again! He floats down to the bottom of the tank.. then rides the bubbles back up to the...

Ok,, here is my tank history. It is a 29 gallon. It came with a filter (black corner type) and a heater. We got it about 6 weeks ago, knowing nothing of cycles and ammonia, etc. Set it up and put 4 goldfish (which were actually koi, thanks alot WalMart!) in it. One died the next day, the others...

What is the difference? I have some stress zyme.. can I use it instead of the AquaSafe? The bloodowrm zombie lady at the LFS told me to turn off my filter when I put in the StressZyme.. is that neccesary? Thanks!

Hey ya'll! My friend said I could have some of his Kribensis for free.. but I need to know if they can live in my community tank first. 29 gallon 5 painted glass tetras 3 albino something tetras 2 dwarf gouramis 1 african dwarf frog 1 fancy guppy I also have 10 gallon 1 female betta 3 fancy...

Ok, I posted last night, but it won't let me reply b/c it's been less than 12 hours or something.. and I don't see the "edit" button. Here we go.. My friend Adron is moving to California to work on a vegan farm. So he has to sell his setup. He (being the hippie that he is) has no computer, so I...

I did a 25% water change last night, and forgot to turn my heater off!!! It is up near the water line, so I don't have to get wet when I wanna adjust it. So far the tank is still holding at 78 degrees (what it is set on). How can I tell if it's broken? It never feels warm to me when I touch it...

Hey everybody! My friend Adron (who doesn't have a computer) is looking to sell his 75 gallon freshwater tank. I don't have a complete list of what all he has... I know it's all the lights and filters and fancy stuff. I'm really just trying to find out if there's anyone close to me that would...

Hi! I bought an ADF about 2 weeks ago. He's a cool lil guy, and in a 29 gallon tank with 9 tetras and 2 guppies. The first 2 days home from LFS, he was swimmin all over the place. Now, he just kinda hides all the time. Today I even caught him clinging to the back of my heater against the tank...
