thanks for the advice, I've got the tank all set up & my fish are swimming around happily. I plan on getting more fake plants soon since its a bit bare right now.and that's so cute. I'd love to see an African Grey that barks like a dog.

He's adorable. my little girl Kadence will be a year soon. Someday I'd love to have one of the larger birds, but not until I know I've got the time to spend with it. And the money and space to properly raise one. :)

Thanks for the advice. And gorgeous bird in your pic, African Grey? I've got a little parakeet myself.

I plan on moving everything in my aquarium to my empty 20gal, but I don't know how to go about doing it. My main problem is that I'm putting the 20gal where the 10gal currently is. I plan on putting the water from the 10gal into the 20 so its as if I'm performing a 50% water change and I don't...

Thanks for the advice, I really appreciate it. My friend is bringing his extra aquarium sand and a heater over for me on sunday, so I plan on setting things up then.

I'm worried about the temperature with kuhli loaches. if I raise the temp to accomodate them, my goldfish will suffer. and if I lower the temp (or rather leave it without a heater) then the kuhlis suffer.

Thanks for the great info. I found a place that has regular ones for $3.99 but doesn't carry the golden ones. I think I'm going to just go with the regular unless the other place in town can order the golden ones for a decent price. At a petstore about 40 mins from where I live the golden ones...

Does anyone recommend a specific pairing? Meaning should I get 2 males, 2 females, 1 male + 1 female, or doesn't it matter?Also, can I mix golden dojos with regular dojos? I love the look of the golden ones, but the place I found them charges twice as much for one. What have you guys found the...

My friend ordered me an Aquaclear 30 today, so I would assume it would be here sometime next week. I am also going to include at least one of my current filters. One is an Aqua-Tech 5-15 & the other is a Penguin Mini, not sure what its rated at. It fits the same size filters as the Aqua-Tech.I...

they're common feeder goldfish. will running a filter rated for a larger tank help keep up with the bioload, as long as it doesn't create a current that is too strong?

they are just common feeder goldfish. will running a filter rater for a larger tank help keep up with the high bioload?

Oh I wasn't planning on getting a bottom feeder without providing food for it. I wasn't going to just assume it was getting all it needs from sifting through the substrate.

what if I've already got 2 goldfish in the 20 gal? would I still be able to get the dojos? I want something to sift through the sand & feed off the bottom

My mom wasn't too happy when she found out the 20gal tank was going to be put downstairs, so I've decided to swap my 10gal for my 20gal & put it in my room. This means my 2 common goldfish will be moved to the new tank. My question is about the filter. I don't have a filter for the 20gal but...

can dojo loaches be kept in a tropical comminity tank? I've got a 20 gallon that will be set up in the near future & I really want dojo loaches vs kuhli loaches because they're so much more active. my dad wants 'colorful pretty' fish in it as well. if I can, how many can be kept?

thanks for the advice on the filter, I've given him the name of it & he's going to lok around tomorrow.any ideas for what I could do with the 10gal hex if I get it? I was thinking I could try my hand at a planted tank with ghost shrimp. I saw them in the petstore today & they're so cute. from...

another question, what type of filter would you recommend for a 20gal tank that will have sand? I've read the AquaClear 30 is good. I need something that's within my price range $30-40 preferably since a friend offered to get me the filter. thanks again. :)

I thought so too, but I figured it was worth a shot asking. Any advice on other friendly fish to live with them? My dad wants something bright and colorful, really pretty, lol. I'm thinking of turning the 10gal hex into a planted with shrimp if I can get it. Anyone have any advice on that...

Edit for everyone, I do not have the 10 gal hex yet, but I did get a 20 gal from a guy nearby, I just have to get a filter and heater before we can get it set up. How does this change things? Now would it be acceptable to get kuhli loaches? I really want a weather loach, but I've read they...

I posted this info in the introduction post I made, but I thought it might get seen by more people here. There's a possibility I will get a 10gal hex tank from a friend & I'd like to turn it into a tropical tank with kuhli loaches. It's got a heater and hood with light, I may have to get a new...

I'm new to the aquarium business though I've had goldfish on & off over the years, though never in ideal conditions. I've decided to do my homework so I can get a good tank set up. I've currently got a regular 10 gallon tank with 2 common goldfish. I know the rule is 10gal per fish when it...
