Thanks for the help. It does seem like there are very few fish that are good in coldwater tanks. I've been reading that several kinds of tetras and danios can be good in temperatures as low as the mid 60s, but my tank definitely gets colder than that. I guess cloud mountain minnows would be...

I really think my loaches are fine a 20 gallon. I may upgrade in a few months but I dont want a huge tank so 30 gallons would be the max. What are some other coldwater species? All I can think of are goldfish, cm minnows and dojo loaches.

I have a 20 gallon long with three loaches in it. The goldfish is now gone (gave him to someone with a pond) so I'm wondering what else I could put in the tank. The only things I can think of are more loaches, and some cloud mountain minnows. Any suggestions? Give me some thoughts. I'm kind of...

I just moved to a new house and when its cold outside it gets horribly cold in my house. Sucks for me, but it works for coldwater fish which is what I have. However, my tank which at the moment only houses 3 dojo loaches (soon to be more like 6 loaches plus some cloud mountain minnows maybe) and...

I recently got a penguin bio wheel 200 hob filter from a friend who's tank got smashed (yeah..yikes) so he decided to give me his filters and other supplies after throwing his tank in the garbage. Unfortunately today when I tested out the penguin bio wheel 200 it didn't seem to be working. It...

Gosh, this is why I never post on this site anymore. No one has anything to say.

In the last few months I've downgraded my fish collection to 5 fish who I really enjoy and plan to have for the duration of their lives. This includes three dojo loaches, a beautiful sarasa comet, and a bristle nose pleco. I know the bristlenose doesn't really fit with these coldwater fish, but...

I have a yellow labidochromis and yesterday I noticed she has a lump in her throat. She hasn't been eating I don't think, but she does chase the food a little bit. What could this be from? A disease? The other fish in the tank include 4 brevis and one acei cichlid. Actually, I'm not sure that my...

So my tank has around 25 shells of varying sizes spread out all over the sand substrate, and there is also a small wood log, and a rock cave. I'm wondering how you guys clean your tanks and get rid of poop, excess food etc. Do you take apart rocks caves and lift up shells to vacuum underneath...

I got the brevis. 3 females and one male. I'm thinking about adding another male at some point. I'd also like to put a small school of glo-light tetras or whatever they're called. Or some other kind of small schooling fish to occupy the top 16 inches of the tank that the brevis don't swim in.

Aqua Imports, sounds good thanks!

Ok so I just got paid yesterday and I was all excited to go get my L. brevis from this really popular fish store in Denver. They have amazing selection and great quarantine tanks etc, but I was warned that the customer service isn't amazing. Indeed that turned out to be the truth. They had this...

I have a lot of little, medium and large MTS. Give me an offer if you want some.

I'm trying to decide whether I want to get 4-6 L. brevis for my 25 gallon or a small group of J. transcriptus. Can someone help me decide? lol

OMG he's so cute I could eat him! He reminds me of one of my kitty's for some reason.

would it be a bad idea in any way to put an Emperor 280 (for up to 50 gallons apparently) on a 20 gallon long?

I had a male betta living in a 2.5 gallon tank that was heavily stocked with cabomba and it was sitting on a windowsil that got a ton of sunlight. I dismantled the tank after a few months because the summer was over but it was definitely the most beautiful tank I've ever had.

I also have a BN and he hasn't had any wood even that I know of. I knew he needed wood but I forgot, so thanks for the reminder. He's the only other fish in a tank that will be inhabited by shell dweller cichlids so their water needs to be very hard and alkaline. I'm worried that if I put any...

I use rubber bands. The lead would probably be a bad idea to put in the water, or any kind of metal.

I was thinking aquaclear or penguin for sure, or marineland. I just want one that will be able to filter the whole tank efficiently, because the tank is deep, its not a long. Its a standard 25 gallon tank which means the water is like 20 inches deep. I dont plan to have any airstones or...

Ok, so I have a 20 gallon long tank with a sarasa comet and 3 dojo loaches. In the back corner is an aquaclear mini and in the front corner is a small powerhead blowing water across the glass front of the tank. I have two questions. First, this tank is obviously way under filtered. The poop...

Yes eja it sounds like we have similar dreams. Deformed goldfish, how horrible! lol

So I got a dojo loach at Petco and when I got him home I realized he had a whitish / pinkish spot on his face. I have been treating him with pimafix and melafix for a little over a week and the spot is still there and has gotten worse. Now there appears to be some kind of growth extending off of...

I have a 25 gallon tank with a bristlenose in it and soon there will be 4-6 N.brevis. Right now I have a Hydor prime 10 canister filter and an aquaclear mini. I'd like to replace both filters with one big HOB. Any suggestions for a filter that would keep the water really clean and wouldn't...

vomit, I had planaria in my newt tank. They really look disgusting but they aren't dangerous to your fish. They wil eat them if they can but probably not fast enough to wipe out the planaria on their own
