    20 long rebuild

    Its been a while since ive been on, but I have since re-done my 20 long. It is stocked with 1 balloon ram, 1 male betta (he's been in there for a long time and hasnt caused any problems), 5 neons, 5 glo-light tetras and 5 zebra danios. They all get along and the ram and betta actually "hang out"...

    Tank off balance...ok?

    So I've finally got the 250gal all glass tank in its final resting place at the new house and I took a level to it and noticed that it is about a milimeter (still within the black lines of the level's bubble) off center. Is this something I should worry about or not?

    poor betta

    So I have had a betta in my 20 long with cherry barbs and neons for a while now with no problems. I lost a cherry barb female the other day due to what I think was age as she was pretty big when I got her. So I woke up this morning and the cherry barbs had nipped a lot of my bettas rear fin...

So my questions is, can I have them in my 250gal ca/sa set up with pictus and cory cats? I know they're african but...

    Losing my blood parrot...

    I noticed tonight that my blood parrot/firemouth hybrid was kinda just hoovering in the corner. I went over and realized that he wasnt quite acting normal. I had originally planned to do a water change tommorrow, but I immediately started a 60% water change. I rinsed (not cleaned) my filter...

    Minor catastrophe avoided

    So I got off of work at 7 today and I planned on taking my 2 jewel cichlids to the lfs for credit (just not a fan of em). I came home and started prepping for the transfer. I got one out fairly easy (which is great for me because there really is nothing I hate more than knocking all my decor...

    Filtration question

    I've got a couple penguin biowheels and about a month ago I replaced my carbon inserts with purigen and sponges. I've been reading quite a bit about people who have completely taken out all chemical filtration. My question is, how can I go about this and will it signifigantly affect the water...

    moon/lunar lighting?

    Just saw some on ebay and at my lfs and was wondering a few things.. Does is do anything special that the fish need? Is it necessary in a freshwater tank (of any aggression species)?

    I just got a 250 gal tank...whoa!

    I'm actually picking it up Sunday, I went to look at it today and I'm super stoked. Its flipping huge though. 7' long and I can't wait. I do have some questions though. I've decided to go all hob filters (aquaclears) and I've heard some AQ users say they don't use carbon in theirs. What are...

    Kribensis fry has arrived!!

    I noticed yesterday!!! its pretty sweet, although the parents are really laying it to the tankmates keeping them pretty much exiled to one side of the tank, but i suppose that will pass. I took about half out and fed them to my other tanks and well see how many come out of the rest.

    Having some issues..fin rot maybe?

    So last night while doing my nightly health checks i realized 4 out of my 8 harlequin rasboras were not lookin so good. They were just posted in different parts of the tank not really moving and when they did it looked like they were gliding not really swimming. I do my water changes every...

    Jewels hiding

    The two jewels i got on sat. are hiding and have been since yesterday afternoon. I turned the light off for a few hours and they came out. I know its a new environment for them and it may take a few days for them to come out but im a little concerned as i have yet to see them eat. Any thoughts?
