I just acquired my dream tank...400 gallons! It will replace the 180g I keep at my office. It will home a clown knife I recently rescued (already over 12 inches long.) I was so excited I forgot to take photos of my own but I have the shots from the cl listing where I got it from.

My young red lizard catfish decided to spawn in a pvc tee tube I put in their tank and the light reflecting on the bottom is giving a great view of the eggs. I can even see they are eyed. Early Christmas at my house!!!

It's been a tough year in the old fish room and I need to replace a number of plants and am looking to trade for high quality "fish stuff." Small clippings/runners okay if they are very healthy. I need: Any kind of pink or red repens, Vesuvius swords, kleiner bar sword, dwarf...

I do mean large. The stump, which is hollowed, is about 13 inches across and ten inches high. the driftwood, which sits best vertically, is almost 9 inches across and just under 15 inches high. A few silk leaves are attached but are easily removed if not to your liking. Lots of hidy-holes. The...

I need advice regarding a new powerhead for a 12 gallon tank I'm using to house a pair of rainbow darters. It needs to be as quiet as possible and put off the least amount of heat possible.

Young adults, just pairing up. $25 shipped. I have three pairs, plus younger but sexable can sell four for same price. These are nice, very healthy and fed premium diet. Will consider trades for ??? Ask, and we'll see if we can make a deal :)

Great deal on plants and RCS. RCS, 10 for $10. These are nice and bright and the adult females have exceeded an inch in length. I'll send a mix of adults and juvies of both sexes. Best of all, these shrimp have lived for many generationsin a planted tank dosed daily with Excel with no issues...

This is a one-time only deal. I will ship you 6 bronze cory fry that are 1 inch long, (give or take) for the price of postage, $13.45. I'm offering this deal because I've never shipped fish before but have received dozens of fish in the mail. I need to make sure I have it right. I have proper...

Long story short: I need ideas/materials for a spacer/holder (I don't know what you call it) for the top of an old 50 gallon tank. I need to add something so ithat it can support two versatops. This thing is so old I haven't been able to find an orginal/replacement and I do not have the time...

I am in desperate need of a 12 inch wide, lenth 2 to 12 inch spacer to attach to the top of an old but sound 50 gallon aquarium so that it can safely support two versatops. Glass or plastic, whatever, but it can't look wonky. I live out in the middle of nowhere, and plumbing shop, hardware...

· T So Here is a drama that has been playing itself out here in my hometown on Facebook since Monday. I have edited names and put in parenthesis. Quotations marks at beginning and end of original post. the "The story goes like this: Drunk Tourists buy Fish at (resteraunt in...

Long story short:: I have always “heard” you should not put fish in an aquarium if the aquarium has ever had reptiles in it. True or False? If true, why? I am asking because I loaned out an aquarium for fish and found out today there is a small boa constrictor in it. I’m more than a...

All right everyone, I need some help here. Long story short, two weeks ago I gave a new home to a lot of mixed cories, some I've had time to ID, some not. The ones in question surprised the heck out of me by smearing eggs all over the aquarium this evening...So any help appreciated. Here are...

A pair of corys I have not even properly IDed yet are smearing eggs all over the aquarium glass. Can I move them into a tiny aquarium for hatching? Or do I have to let any fry that hatch take their chances? This just happened, will post pics soon! Fry will never surive this tank. In...

20" 72W T5 HO Light Fixture Extendable Series (FW/Planted) Anybody have exerience with these lights. I want to use them in heavily planted cube with CO2. Its 21 inches deep and needs serious light. This price just seems too cheap to be true. Can't afford the deluxe Nova I want and am...

I finally found time to upgrade a somewhat ho-hum 30 gallon planted tank I call the reform school to a 45 gallon I'd been planning for months. Here is the tank before the move. Lighting was 100 watt daylight CFL. It is home to a school of 10 Black Skirts, 2 Albino Black Skirts, 1 Skunk...

Here is a shot of my new Prochilodus, some call it a flagtail. It's about 4 inches long and is in quarantine before heading for my 110 gallon Silver Dollar tank. Supposed to grow up to a foot long. It will have to move to my 180 gallon if it does get that large. Very interesting fish!

Okay, in my side job as a fish rescuer, acquired what seems to be a very skinny dwarf puffer. Very active, but appears thin compared to photos I've seen posted around the net. Color also seems poor but it attacks pond snails with gusto. I have two very specific questions I can't seem to...

Dr. Edgar Balzac checks out a decommissioned 50 gal.

I got this awesome deal on a hex tank last weekend, and am planning to do a dirt/sand planted only, no fish or filter. So here's the question, are MTS okay with a dirt underlayer? I worry about muddy issues in the water.

Here are some poor shots of my Mother’s Day present: some very young Microgeophagus Ramirezi Cichlids from wild parents! I got seven, and they are about a half inch long, a couple a little longer but not much. They are super hard to photograph because they are pretty small and still really...

Here are some before and after shots of my long-planned rescape in my 30 gal cube. The before shots show the tank after I’d done a lot of ruthless pruning and removal of plants over several weeks’ time that I knew I wasn’t going to keep in there long term. I was doing a lot of growout and it...

Clarabell is a blood parrot that has been in my care for about 10 months. I don’t know her exact age but her body (without counting fins) is over 3 inches around. When I got home from work yesterday she was floating head up in a corner and appeared dead. She was pale and showed no sign of...

I’ve seen several posts lately asking questions on regulated CO2 systems. A lot of people (myself included) seem a little overwhelmed or intimidated by the set up process. I am posting photos the hook up I did last night. Mine is a Milwaukee MA957, with a built in solenoid and bubble counter...
