Heya fishfolk! It's been ages since I stopped by AA, figured it was time to pay you guys a visit (and show off a fish or two.) ;) 55Gal Indian Biotope-ish Tank: Be sure to watch in HD!

Lately, it seems like I spend a lot of my internet time browsing through other people's tanks rather than enjoying the ones I have. So, in an effort to break from that habit, I'm gonna start up a 5gal desktop tank to remind me that I have tanks of my own. (Aaaand... My LFS got some Scarlet Badis...

Not to steal any of the spotlight from Marconis's Dirt 55, but I decided I'd get rolling with my 55 as well. This tank will be my last set up for a while so I wanted to give it my all. (On my meager college student budget) This tank is also going to be a replacement for my 10gal and I'm moving...

I've recently come into the possession of a bunch of used saltwater gear that I don't need, so I'm selling it. While I realize I could start a sweet saltwater set up with it, I just don't have the kind of time/money for one and I personally prefer freshwater. Also willing to trade the gear for...

Hey folks, if you're around San Diego, I'm selling a couple tanks and a screen cage: 10 gallon tank - has a major crack through the back, but fine as a terrarium - Free 20 Gallon Long tank - 30" x 12 x 12 Everything's ship-shape, just needs a cleaning - 15$ 20 gallon screen cage - 16" x 15 x 20...

I bought this 55gal off of craigslist a couple of months ago and I'm finally setting it up, but while I was emptying the testing water from it, I noticed that the tank rims were cracked and warped in a few places. With most tanks this probably wouldn't be too big of an issue, but from what I...

The 55gal I picked up off of craigslist last month came with a homemade stand, but the stand looks as though it were made for a larger tank and it does not really feel all that sturdy. What do you folks think? Will it hold a full 55?

I got a 55gal off of craigslist a week or two ago thinking I would consolidate my 5 and 10gals into the big tank eventually. It's a typical 55 - 48"x12"x21" which I guess isn't too big, but it's the largest I've ever owned. Most of my fish are small, <3", has anyone noticed that smaller...

I was at the LFS today with my little brother, helping him pick out fish for his 10 gal since I had taken the white clouds and danios for the paludarium from there, and I spied this group of unlabeled gourami looking things. The store folks told me they just got em about an hour ago as...

Came back from lunch to witness my pair of Badis Badis mating! Not sure if the male was having a tough time, but the female kept bashing him with her tail. :P The video is still loading onto Youtube. Can't believe it! :D Here were the params: 10Gal tank Temp - 77-78 Ph- 7.4 Been feeding frozen...

Been a while since I put up shots of my tanks. Here's the 10Gal community - Populated by a pair of Badis Badis, a school of White Clouds, a trio of sparkling gouramis, some cherry shrimp, and one Amano shrimp. Oh and snails. Mind the water spots. :P Big ol' snails and a new lily bulb. My...

***Small Animal/Reptile Tank*** What a steal! Should I go grab it tomorrow?

Within the past couple of days my female chameleon fish has been showing dark patches of scales over her body. She's able to change her entire body color from light tan to dark brown/black and occasionally she'll go tan with brown stripes, but lately she has some scales stuck in dark brown...

About a year ago, while I was at UC Santa Cruz, I was keeping three tanks in my dorm room and I realized that half the fun of fish keeping is sharing your tanks with people. And so, beneath my bed, I created the The Fantastic Cardboard Aquarium. Outside of our room - Inside the room -...

I've got about a golf-ball sized mass of Micro Sword (Lilaeopsis novae-zelandiae) up for trade. I decided to pull it out of my 10gal because it got kinda curly and I didn't like the look of it in the tank. I'm looking for Glossostigma mainly, but I'd definitely be willing to trade it for some...

I'm sitting at the computer, browsing through posts, chattin' with a buddy, I just got done with 3 final projects, all is well in the world of LemurLad. Then I ponder to myself, "How are my fishies doing today?" The badis and the puffers in my 20gal are as hungry as ever. My dwarf gourami is...

Heya folks! I've had this 40 gallon sitting around for a few months now, just waiting for the opportunity to spring to life. Paludariums have always been very inspiring to me and after I made a little one in a 5.5, I knew I wanted a bit more space! And now finally, I've got some time to devote...

Awww man, looks like my Badis pair has got a case of fin rot. :c They're homed with 3 dwarf puffers and a gaggle of kuhli loaches in my 20gallon. I've never ever seen the puffers interact aggressively with the Badis, just between themselves on occasion. There's also a crew of ghost shrimp in...

Hey all, Just finished fishless cycling my new 20Long, so I decided I'd hop on down to my LFS and pick up some fish I've been eying. :D I'm going for an Indian/Indonesian biotope with a creek cross section look: a mix of eco-complete and play sand on the sides and more play sand in the middle...

I figured it was time to move the thread over to planted tanks now that everything is planted. So here it is! The Candy Bin from beginning to end! :)

Stopped by my LPS to pick up some plants/rocks/driftwood and had to get a couple of these guys for my 10gal. They're very curious fish and they really like to poke through my java moss. Also got a good bunch of clover for my candy bin tank. :)

Everything's been hunky-dory in my 10gal lately, but today I noticed a white spot on the side of my flame gourami. Think it could be ich? Should I just take precautions and raise the temp up till it's gone? Thanks!

Heya folks, Now that the Candy Bin is done cycling (and soon to be stocked), I've gotten a tank idea for the Tall 32Gal I picked up at a thrift store: I always liked those exhibits at the zoo that would have you staring for minutes searching for something perfectly camouflaged, it'd be really...

Finally feel good enough about my 10gal to put up some pics, heheh. :) That last one is from before I replaced the bulb in the current light fixture and got rid of all of the fake plants. There's a bit of shmutz on the glass from my adding/moving of plants in the last few days. :) Fauna: 5...

There's a great tall 20gal-ish tank sitting in one of my local thrift shops for $10! Ten! I have absolutely no use for a 20gal right now, we're not even allowed to have anything more than 10gallons in our dorms... but a deal like this doesn't come along every day. So should I hold onto my...
