I wasn't trying to breed them or anything, but apparently they did... I just spotted two fry in my tank! Help! What do I feed them? I have a very dense portion of the tank full of java moss and other plants (where they are now) so I don't think they will be eaten by other fish.

I see a lot of threads in here about making a sump for SW tanks, but has anyone made one for FW? Here's my situation: I have a 20 gallon tall planted tank with one of those DIY-style CO2 systems. I can only get about 10ppm CO2 from it. I have a spare 10 gallon tank that I'd like to use as a...

Hi everyone... I'm currently setting up a planted 10 gallon tank, and am searching for ideas. I think ultimately, I'd like to put in a school of fish, like 6 or 7 of the same species, so they'd have to be quite small to fit comfortably. I just don't know what would be small enough to go in...

I'm setting up a 10 gallon planted tank which will have a male betta as the centerpiece fish. I'd like to put 4 or 5 very small fish with him, along with a couple shrimp. Would white clouds be good tank mates for a betta? Any other suggestions?

So here's a fun little story. My girlfriend's parents have owned a 10 gallon tank for a couple years now, with the typical fake plastic plants, weak lighting, and too many fish that will eventually outgrow it. A fish would die every couple weeks and it would eventually get restocked. I...

I'd appreciate if anyone with female Threadfin Rainbows would post some pics. :)

I received this in my email today from Practical Fishkeeping, and felt it important to spread the word. I've loved these little fish since I first saw them last year, but never got around to purchasing any. "Dear Reader, When I saw the first photographs of the Galaxy rasbora back in September...

I have a ten gallon tank I use to throw plant trimmings in every now and then. It only has about 3 gallons of water in it, a number of small snails, and a fairly large mass of Java Moss has been growing under two Eclipse 10W 5100K mini CF bulbs. I noticed a few days ago that the Java Moss is...

Anyone breeding neon blue Endler's livebearers? I'd like to try this, but I only have three males at the moment. I'll be setting up a 10 gallon breeding tank. I imagine that any female ELB would be fine, but would it be better to get a female from a neon blue brood?

The greatest tank in the world~! My pseudo-planted 10 gallon! OK, so it needs a little work. Right now it's just a holding tank for my extra plants (anyone want some elodea or r.rotundifolia?) and a bunch of snails, but I do have plans for it eventually. Like get rid of those ugly ugly...

I recently came across a 10 gallon tank at a yard sale, but have no idea what to turn it into. I have a 20 tall and a 5gal hex, both planted as seen here: 20 gal: http://www.aquariumadvice.com/viewtopic.php?t=88512 5 gal: http://www.aquariumadvice.com/viewtopic.php?t=88554 I've only thought of...

OK... well you don't see many of them, but here it is! It's an Eclipse Hex5 which comes with a built-in bio-wheel filter and a 10W compact flourescent. I added a pre-filter to the intake tube, a 25W heater, some Eco-Complete, and then went to town. Plants are 3 small java ferns, anubias nana...

Here are some new shots of my 20 gallon planted tank, with 5 Goo Obo gudgeons, 4 threadfin rainbows, 3 cherry red shrimp, 1 oto, and an army of ramshorn and physa snails. Plants are corkscrew val, bronze c.wendtii, java moss, l.repens, r.rotundifolia, wisteria, blyxa japonica, and a dwarf lily.

I've decided to redo my tank to emulate a Papua New Guinea environment. The main attraction would be Goo Obo gudgeons, and I am considering threadfin rainbows as well. I need to know a couple things though... Are there freshwater shrimp and snails that are native to that region? What plants are...

I am selling my eight rasboras, all with very attractive and unique coloration. 2 of them are regular harlequins (not espei) with gold tails as opposed to black. 3 of them are mostly black with a vivid orange face and fin tips. The other three are almost entirely a light gold color, with very...

I spoke to one of the guys at Absolutely Fish in Clifton, and he told me there is a woman breeding Goo Obo gudgeons in the area. Anyone know who this is or are you on the forums?

BLAH!!! My Goo Obo gudgeon is gone! I saw it this morning, and now it's just gone. I tore the tank apart, searched the floors, the filter, everything.. it's just plain gone! It's like someone walked into my apartment and took it. ARGH!! :cry:

Any ideas? The flesh is a very bright transluscent cream color, almost white.

I have the API nitrate tester. My problem is, if I hold the test tube vertically up against the card, it looks yellow (0ppm nitrate). If I hold it horizontally, it looks a little orange (5ppm). And if I take off the cap and look straight down, it's even more (10ppm). What's the right way to...

I just did a water change and one of my rasboras is swimming oddly. It's facing in almost a 45 degree downward angle trying pretty hard to move towards the bottom of the tank, but is being pulled upward, as if there was air in it. If it reaches the surface it'll pick at the surface as if there...

I have an AquaClear 50 with the AC mechanical filter on the bottom and carbon on top of that, with a large-cell foam pre-filter on the intake tube. On the packaging for the media, I'm supposed to change the carbon once a month (let's say the 1st of the month), and alternate between cleaning and...

I'm looking for some weeping moss (Vesicularia ferriei) and HC (Hemianthus callitrichoides) if anyone has any. I don't have much to offer since my tank is still fairly new, but I'd be glad to work something out. Everything in my tank is in my signature.

I was just looking over my tank and felt so content with its progression that I just had to post a thread saying I appreciate how much work everyone has put into this site. My cherry shrimp are as red as can be, my otos are happily munching away, my water stats staying where they should, my...

I have changed my signature twice now, but all of my new posts show the original signature I created. How can I get new posts to show my latest revision?

Does anyone know any good places to purchase carpeting plants like riccia or HC in North Jersey?
