I have been considering an algae eater for my 29 gallon tank, and most people agree that 3 ottos would be the best way to go. I want to run a stock list by everyone to see if this is too much for my tank. 3 ottos 6 bronze corys 7 leopard danios 1 south american bumblebee catfish(full grown at...

Ok, so first off let me mention a few things before I go into tank or fish details. I clean my tank weekly with a 30% water change, clean the algae off the tank glass and most of the rocks by hand, and service the filters as needed. The algae I have is soft brown algae that is easy to dispose...

I bought a small school of bronze corys for my 29 gallon about 2 weeks ago. Until a couple days ago, everything was going well, the only tank mates are a school of danios, and the tank has been cycled for a long time. No changes in water quality or anything else. One of the bronze corys loved...

Anyone familiar with these fish? My LFS has some for sale, and it seems almost too good to be true...an algae eater that stays around 2 to 3 inches, peaceful, and loves a strong current. Do they eat any sinking foods? I read their mouths are small. I have some information on my tank, and...

I am planning on using fittings made of that material for a custom filtration setup in my tank. the specific fittings I am interested in using are for potable water and the manufaturer and product meets NSF/ANSI Standard 61 health effects requirements. so, I am not seeing a issue or any...

I am in the process of remodeling my 29 gallon, and I have been working with several stock lists. The main thing was to keep my corys and cherry barbs and work with that list, so I have been looking at fish to keep with them without over crowding. So, this is what I am considering... 6 Corys 5...

ok, i have seen several aquarium backrounds made from anything from concrete to styrafoam, but all everyone lists for the coating is either concrete, cement, hobby cement, or resin. after all the specifics about the coloring used to tint the cement being used, no one lists EXACTLY what they are...

well, i am in the middle of a complete teardown and re-scaping of my 29 gallon tank. the occupants (corys and 2 cherry barbs) will be moved to another tank when it has finished cycling over a few week period depending on how soon the back up tanks filtration will establish bacteria colonies...

Hello! its been a while since I attempted to keep plants in my 29 gallon tank. the first time resulted in not knowing how to take care of them, the plants dying, and a infestation of junk snails that I am still dealing with. but, I am thinking of trying it over again. the 29 gallon is empty...

Well, I am browsing around for a couple new sites to visit and hopefully learn more. I have been keeping fish for 5 years now, freshwater, and I have learned a bit, but by no means am I a veteran. I am from the NW of the USA, and so far have only kept smaller tanks due to apartment living...
