Hmm that could work I’d need a really tall piece of plexiglass though. Ugh I think they are cleaning a surface for egg laying now so they must be paired up again. Pleco gets a snack soon.

Hmm good idea King Fisher except I am pretty sure the pleco would knock it down. :(

Thank you for your advice! Do you keep Angels? Do you find odd numbers or even numbers typically work best?

Hello Everyone! I came to this site two years ago and my problems were solved by all the wonderful knowledgeable people here so I come asking once more for help and advice. I desperately need advice about Angelfish Aggression. If this is the wrong thread/section etc. please help me fix it. I...

Update: the added filtration worked! Finally saw a nitrite spike! Did about a 50% water change and I will continue to do testing! Thanks so much for your help!

Update: the added filtration worked! I bought a HOB Marineland 350 GPH filter with the bio wheels. Finally saw a nitrite spike! Did about a 50% water change and I will continue to do testing! Thanks so much everyone for your help!

I bought gel bacteria balls and put some of those in with the ceramic filter media on Jan 29. I've also been adding API quick start. Thank you, sorry that message wasn't directed towards you but the other person commenting. I should have used their name/handle. I did have the overstocking...

Thanks I thought of that too. Tap says 1 ppm. If I put the Alert in tap water, it goes back to safe. I think this is why the fish are OK. I will look into false Ammonia readings, thank you.

Thanks for your help. I bought a 350 GPH marine land HOB filter as well as additional media (ceramic porous noodles) for the bacteria colony for my canister filter. It should get here in 2 days. I can't seem to get the tank to cycle. I think the lack of filtration power might be impacting that...

Thanks for your rehoming suggestions but that is not the purpose of this post. Please stop suggestiong this. The shark is more than half grown now. I know they get "big" if you call 6 inches big. The goldfish and dojos are just fine at 77. I just wanted to know if I have overstocked the tank...

So I finally got the API Freshwater Master Test kit in the mail today. The Seachem Ammonia Alert is still on the Alert stage ~0.05 ppm. I know there can be a slight difference in between API liquid ammonia tests and the Seachem test because the latter only measures free toxic ammonia. However...

Thanks. I am not sure that I have completed a cycle yet to be honest. I've never seen a spike in anything other than the elevation in Ammonia which is around 0.05 ppm. I'm currently using the Seachem Ammonia Alert to watch the ammonia level in the tank constantly. I'm using the API strips that...

When does the red tailed shark aggression start? Mine is already twice the size as my Angels (3.25 inches) and about half his full size and he leaves them be. Does the aggression not truly start until they are 5 plus inches? I have plenty of hiding caves for him. He hides WITH the loaches when...

Hello there! I am fairly new to the aquarium hobby, so I welcome your advice! I hope that this is posted in the correct place, my apologies if it is not. :ermm: So I set up my 65 gallon (36 in long x 18 in wide/deep x 24 in high) that I got around New Years. I have a canister filter that my...

GPH on the canister is 160. What GPH hang on back filter do you recommend?

What hang on back filter size would you add? 70 gallon size? Essentially doubling the filtration?

I have a 65 gallon tank with a canister filter called ProAquatics Canister Filter 1600. It filters 160 GPH and is good for up to 75 Gallons. I have the following filter media in it: Thick coarse foam pad fluval zeo carb bag fluval clearmax bag ceramic cylinder media with a few bio gel balls...

Hello everyone, I am new to this site and somewhat new to the aquarium hobby. I got a 65 gallon aquarium for Christmas and I have a few questions. Can someone help direct me to where I should post the following questions? 1. Stocking of my 65 gallon aquarium - will my fish outgrow my tank? Am...
