i collected this gar from a local harbour.... anyone know what it is? it has ALOT of sharp teeth and its mouth can open up VERY wide.

no oscar. never in a 25 gallon. i agree with Delapool. a ram or dwarf gourami would be as big as you could get.

definitely not them.... these guys have scales and a foward facing mouth like other gudgeons. it has the same pattern though.

At the LFS i work at, an order of Pacific Blue Eyes arrived, but; in the bag of Blue eyes, there was a number of gudgeons. Some were Purple spot gudgeons, the rest were something ive never seen before. Most died very quickly, but i managed to get four of them for free. They now live happily with...

it is not a spotted silver dollar. that is for sure. it does sometimes show more orange though. it must be a Lippincottianus. after looking at some pics, it has to be a cross of some sort. maybe M.m x M.Lippin

theres no point in adjusting your PH, because the salt will just bring it back up again. scoop the fish out gently rub one of the spots between two fingers. if they do not change, it may be a parasite in the veins of the fins. either way, you should isolate it, unless the spots come of. if the...

nope. not yet

here is my rainbow shark.... he only gets into a scrap with my silver perch.. other wise, he is very dosile.

everyone says oscars are nasty big brutes who just tear everything up.... but i have never had them do that to me. i have kept the smallest of fish with my oscars.... and the worst they do is sleep on top of them. here is my main 170gallon...

texas cichlids get just as big as oscars and get 5x more aggressive ( super green texas that is ). sand is good with keeping the waste at the surface, so all you have to do is scoop it up with a net every once in a while. if you position your filter outlets and inlets and have good circulation...

tiger oscars do get big... but a 90g could handle it. if that is what you want..... make sure the angelfish are a breeding pair, ir they may fight. if you wanted some schooling fish in there, a school of larger tetras like congo, widow, head and tail light or lampeye tetras would work with the...

it depends..... if you were going to go american cichlids like angelfish, severums, convicts, firemouths etc you could mix them with the sharks, mainly rainbow sharks, or silver sharks. if you chose african cichlids, it is a whole different scenario though. in a 90 gallon tank, a small...

it would definitely work...... its just something youre probably going to look back on. then again, thats just my two peice. if you like the look of it and it suits the tank youre setting up, by all means use the stuff, after all its not me looking at the tank everyday, its you, so go with what...

what are you feeding?-- give it plenty of vegetable matter. try some peas. this should fix him up. hes just a bit bloated. if it gets worse, starve him for 2-3 days and start feeding him more peas again.

to feed; this fish needs to be able to stand its whole body length vertical in order for its mouth to sift through the substrate. remember that this fish can grow more than 70cm.

he is just nibbling the leaves to test out his environment. he is nearly completely blind and has nearly no idea what he is touching or biting. mine goes straight up into my massive oscars gills and mouth... he doesnt seem to mind at all. being an electric fish, he uses an electronic pulse to...

i wouldnt go down that road. go straight up to your LFS or landscaping supplier and purchase some good quality river sand. it will make your tank look like a million bucks. dont get sucked into going cheap and nasty, you will regret it later on. --- in a 90 gallon... youre probably looking at...

try paradise fish.... they can survive in very low temperatures, and like bettas; they can breath air from the surface of the water. they are often sold along side goldfish, and sport amazing coloration. but unlike the bettas, two males can be kept together without an issue.

use around a couple kilos. if it doesnt work, keep increasing the amount until it you feel it is unsafe to do so anymore. DONT overdose.

i probably should have worded it differently, but i dropped out of school knowing exactly this. in fact i was already a A+ student in biology and chemistry, and i have already completed a formal certificate in aquarium management (which cost nearly a thousand dollars) and i have already begun my...

stunning pleco. i do believe it is a L024. worth more than $100!

purple waffle will just melt in an aquarium. ask the staff that worn there and they should tell you its only a temporary display plant.

my name is riley, and i am addicted to everything to do with keeping aquariums. i am only new to this site but i am excited to begin helping others on there road to succes in the aquarium hobby. i am only fifteen, and i have recently dropped out of school to pursue my dream in aquaculture. i...

isolate and treat for external parasites and then for fungus. if you dont get to it now it will spread to your other fish.

dont worry about it. if it starts to get any worse, isolate them if possible; but treatment in the main tank with a bit of salt usually works. it is indeed a fungal infection, but only the first stage of it and if you treat it the right way now, you shouldnt have a problem.
