Hi all, Recently I lost my Angel fish that I've had for 10 years. I'm fairly certain he just got old as all the water parameters in that tank are fine and all the other fish are showing no signs of sickness. So, I decided to get myself two more angel fish. Got them about a week ago and had...

So, I recently had an issue where my filter clogged up, and since it is my only source of surface agitation I almost lost a few fish due to lack of oxygen (and my PH crashed and all that fun stuff). So, I'm thinking of getting a small powerhead to use only for surface agitation(so if my filter...

So, I'm changing my water today. I finish filling the tank back up, and every time after I finish I shut off the water, open the valve at the sink, lift up the vac tube higher than the sink and open to let the water drain out of the tube. So, today I do that except I blast the ceiling with...

Hey everyone. I have a 15 gallon that just has some ghost shrimp in it right now. I'm getting bored with those, so I'll probably toss them into the 55 gallon and watch them get hunted. :slurp: I really wanted to get a green spotted puffer, and I had read that a 15 gallon was big enough for...

Over the past month while dealing with my 55 gallon I decided to set up a tiny 2 or so gallon tank that my girlfriend had laying around. Fed it with fish food, and now the cycle is done! Checked today, Ammonia 0, NitrItes 0, NitrAtes 40. Gonna do a 50% or so change and thinking of grabbing a...

Hi everyone. I have a Rio 2100 internal power filter in my 55 gallon tank that pumps 690 gph. It creates quite a current (not too powerful for my fish) which was fine when I had gravel (in fact it did a great job of keeping things off the bottom), but now that I have sand in the tank it causes...

I know, I know. I ask a lot of questions, but I'm just trying to do things right for once. :lol!: Anyway, I got my daughter to give me a bunch of fairly small rocks from her rock collection. I did the vinegar test that I read about, and no problems there. Since that isn't exactly an accurate...

I've been using an aqueon water changer (like the python) and I've read that you should put in enough dechlor for the entire size of the tank when filling it back up. I've also read that you should only put in enough for the amount of water you are adding. My thinking is this: Putting in...

Like the title says, I can't really tell if this fish is a red tail or a rainbow shark. They both look pretty much the same to me. Anyway, it's belly has gotten larger than normal. I pulled it out of the main tank and stuck it in a tiny quarantine tank (1.5 gallons). I know this probably...

So a little more than 2 weeks ago I got a new internal power filter, and a new hood for my tank that covers the whole tank with no gaps. I wanted to go this route because I have some fish that liked to splash my walls through the gaps where the HOB filters were. So, when I finally received my...

Hi everyone, I stumbled across this site while doing some research for my aquarium. I have had a tank for about 6 years now; started with a 20 and about 4 years ago got a 55 gallon. I have to admit though that I never really took the time to educate myself and learned things the hard way...
