Do you have pictures of this shedding? I have had fish with a fungus seem to be shedding something slimy. Mabey you should look a little closer at your fish and determine if it is a disease.

Clown loaches have naturally agressive tendencies. I have a few of them and it seems they just dont like specific breeds. However I have seen lots of intraspecific agression so mabye if you get a few more the agression will stop focusing on the angels and they will focus on themselves.

Rainbows of the common variety are everywhere. Wal-Mart carries several varieties including the very fetching dwarf rainbow. As well every pet store worth their salt will carry a list of available fish for either regular shipment or special order. Big Al's is a wonderful place to check for...

Cycle is just that a cycle for your NEW tank. In older tanks it is simply a stress reducer if that. BUT it is a wonderful product for people who dont have a lot of time to set up a tank enjoy

Well some research has yeilded some interesting results. Thus far the only problem I think I am going to have is how to locate som unhulled rice. The normal rice we eat every day is hulled to look better. Wil rice may be an option. I will post pictures on how it is done after success has...

I was wondering if anyone has tried to grow rice in the aquarium. It seeems possible, the fish we all love so much like danios barbs etc come from rice paty type biopes. I think it would be a good idea if I could do this in my newly emptied 25 gallon tank. I think they will not be much...

I have had nothing but bad luck with undergravel filters. All the bio matter located in the filter must be cleaned some how right. So that means a messy tank tear down and restart. This can be a large stressor to any fish. I have heard that you can clean under the filter with a tube from a...

Well construction has begun, I have purchased all the parts nessary and it cost me a wopping 30 dollars including a deal on the digital display. I will post picks of my progress later as it may take me a few weeks to construct in my lunch hours at work.

I was also thinking about doing something with concrete and tubes. Molding the concrete around the tubes making a funky design. Include this with live plants may make something cool :D

My intrests in aquaria include the all the african ciclids, some of the south american cichlids, planted tanks however I have had almost no luck with this. I have many interests in all fish and have had good luck with most types. I posted this thread to get some different ideas that all of you...

Sounds great guys keep the ideas coming. Planted sounds interesting, I have attempted this before with bad results, however now I can take my time. Keep the ideas coming I am already feeling better. :lol:

Well some bad news; My Juli's are dead. I have been having a string of bad luck lately and am beginning to have doubts about my abilities as a fish keeper. This time however I think it is not my fault. The heater , an ebojager 100, was knocked by a large rock in the tank cand caused a thermal...

In the past in order to speed up the process of bacteria growth I have placed about a gallon (3.78 Liters) into the new tank to give it a good start on bacteria. Using your filter will do the same thing only it may take a little longer.

So there are a few products out there to fix something like this. MetaFix and others like it do a wonderful job at healing this sort of thing. along with a healthy dose of aquarium salt will clear the problem. Or you could purchase a 10 gallon tank you can use simply for quarantine. Place...

I am with you in wanting to do things cheap. However using the nylon pot scrubbers may do more harm than good 8O . Some of these scrubbers are inpregnated with soap and can cause a toxic soup to emerge in your tank. As well small particles of the green scrubbie may move into your tank just as...

The price is cheap Just silicone and plexi, mabey 20 bucks , the other way mentioned in my post above details the cheap rock way

This is going to sound weird, but you may be able to have a little bit of a bodyguard. I like to call them decoy fish. This fish in question is not a breed rather that a concept. I suggest using giant danios or Rainbows to accomplish this task. So here is how the plan works, the aggressive...

Hello KY'sMommy I had the opportunity to work in a water treatment plant and the tecks there had a hell of a time with snail eggs getting through the filters. I also heard the tecks talking about upping the chlorine dosage to rid the water supply of the little invaders. So I guess they could...

Welcome to the Forum HULK! I have achieved the look you are currently looking for by placing some sort of barrier about 5-6 inches from the rear of the tank(fiddle with the size of this area until you are satisfied). Then fill this empty space with whatever substrate you have chosen for your...

It seems like the fish are possessed by the fish devil. :lol: IMO I think the persuees may have a ruptured swim bladder. I have had several fish in the past do this with Varying degrees of severity. The other fish may be hanging around the other in order to capitalize on the meal it is about...

I have used these with Varying success. However I have gone back to the hand held scraper. It seems to work better and is much less costly. :D

Ya Know I was just wondering the same thing. Seriously though do you have a unknown predator in your tank. Can the neons fit into the mouth of one of the other inhabitants? I have asked myself this question several times and every time someone is to blame :evil:

I have had great success with the use of house hold acids. i.e. vinegar, which must be distilled white, as well using orange peal slices in the storage water under a neutral rock, like shale. Then add the water from the storage container to the tank during water changes. As well Reverse...
