Good thread! 1. People driving fast in the SLOW lane...

While I've never seen a "fully grown" Clown Loach in any of our LFS, I have a bit of experience with large Clown Loaches. We have had 3. Clown Loach Number 1 grew to about 5 inches long, and lived 9 years. She (only a guess as to sex) was probably stunted from water that was too hard, as I had...

No takers?

That's right - tank, stand, 2 pumps... all for a steal at $75 No it is NOT drilled. Also, I have the undergravel filter plates. Reply here or PM me if interested.

Just for clarification: the Fluval and Magnum pumps have been down for 3-4 years. The tank itself was fully functionally until March '05 and this stand is appropriate and will support a 55 gallon tank as well. I'm reducing the price to $75. I really need to get rid of some fish equipment, my...

For Sale: Perfecto 45 gallon long tank and pine stand, with dark brown stain finish. Tank measures 48" long x 12" wide x 18.75" high. Stand is 33 high at lip; 32 high where tank sits inside stand. Also included: 48" flourescent single bulb light fixture and either a Fluval 303 or Magnum...

Sounds like Dropsy to me. It is an infection which shuts down the fish's ability to expel waste liquids from its body. Cure rates are hit and miss. I recently lost a female Ram to the same thing; she ate normally until the end, but her symptoms never improved. You can try Melafix, but I know...

I've never seen one in action, but I suppose the theory behind it is that the plants (houselhold?) would absorb the excess nitrates and such from the aquarium water. As an avid gardener, I have two concerns: 1) it couldn't be used with a saltwater setup, as the salinity levels would surely...

I agree with Fluff....pic 1...long slender, looks like a male. Pic 3, the pink belly is generally the sign of a female.

Although the lighting is very low, you can grow plants in an Eclipse 12. I took background I bought from PetSmart and completely covered the the back and left and right sides, leaving only the front exposed. This helps keep as much light inside the tank as possible. I currently have 1 rather...

Agreed... It's a julii.... I have 3, and they are very beautiful.

I've read in several posts about certain plants needing "nutrient rich" substrates. What exactly qualifies a substrate as being nutrient rich? I will be upgrading my 30 long to a 40 soon and I will be replacing my gravel. My 30 gal is heavily planted with 3.2 wpg and C02 injection. My 40 gal...

I have a new 90 gallon that I plan on being heavily planted with various South American cichlids, a shoal of cories, a large school of tetras (undecided as to which) in it. I would like to have a pleco in my tank, but I don't want one that will get huge. For example: I never expected my clown...

Perhaps it is either a C. agassizii or C. schwartzi. Have you tried planetcatfish.com? They have *tons* of cories listed. HTH

Biowheels begin to get slower and slower as they "age" and more bacteria builds up on the wheel. It is not uncommon for them to completely stop. To help alleviate this when it begins to really slow and/or stop, take the wheel and rinse it in your *tank* water. This will help remove some of...

I once had a solid black Angelfish who was *huge*. I named him "Charlie Manson". Sick, I know... 8O

I don't know of an online store, but the PetLand in Ft. Walton Beach, Florida carries them. They have had them the last few times we've been down (Christmas, and just a few weeks ago in April). Phone number is (850) 796-2424. I know it's not exacty what you're looking for, but maybe a...

Finally, after months of spawning, and eggs making it 48 hours, only to be eaten, My Rams finally hatched a spawn (took about 55-60 hours). :D Unfortunately, the mommie died about 12 hours after the eggs hatched. All water parameters were/are perfect: pH 6.9, temp = 79.2 F, Amm = 0, N'ite =...

Rex, I'm using SeaChem's Acid Regulator and Akaline Buffer, both are phosphate and nitrate free. Phosphate buffers kept my water stable, but also gave me an algae garden, which was only pleasing to the Oto. My water from the tap is extremely soft and unstable. Tap parameters = pH 8.4, GH...

Okay, for 5 weeks in a row my Nitrates are reading at 0 ppm in my planted tank, and my plants have stopped showing signs of growth. Algae growth is even minimal. I've added Flourish Nitrogen as per directions, but how much is too much? I don't want to shock my fish, as they are more important...

I'm an electronics idiot. What parts were used, and how were they connected? Got a diagram? TIA

Mine tries to school with the Bloodfins. But he's doing one heckuva job on the blackbeard algae. 8O
