Yeah, I was leaning toward the Sae due to the delicate nature of Otos. It seems noone except the chain stores even bother carrying them anymore. Ok, on with more research on sae's it is then! Thanks everyone.

Scouser, please re-read my post. I am not looking to get these fish solely for tank clean up, I happen to think they're cool fish that also eat algae. I do a 50% water change every week, and use a magnetic algae scraper in between, so I'm not looking to replace my maintenance schedule. I don't...

Opinions please. Do you think saes do as good a job on tanks. Leaning duty as oto cats do? I used to have Otos in my 10 and liked them, but with my 75 I have room for sae. Although I understand you should never get a fish solely for keeping algea down, i still like it when they help out! So, I...

Yup, totally agree on keeping the list concise. As for naming it, how about "do you really want THAT fish?"

okeydoke. When we head to the LFS I may end up taking a look at the angels too then.

One word.…sticky Great post.

Really? I figured that was looking pretty full. I had thought about some kind of centerpiece, would love an angel, but wasn't sure if it would be thinking of nipping at the others. I also had considered a couple of keyhole cichlids, but thought the bottom might start being a bit full. I'm open...

Soooo, have the law come knocking yet wondering why your power consumption seems to have taken a dramatic climb?? :D It's lookin mighty impressive. More tanks means more cool and unusual fishies!

Well, after some input from the family, who actually seemed quite interested for a change so I figured I'd better run with it, here's what we came up with: 11 Pristella Tetra 11 Harlequin Rasbora 5 sterbai cory 4 swordtail (1m/3f) - (would love Koi swordtail, but I know they're kinda hard to...

The other one that's mentioned fairly often is hikari. I think it's quite pricey too though.

Just wondering if anyone on here has personal experience with this fish. I seem to be finding conflicting reports while researching it on wether it's aggressive or not. It looks like a beautiful and hardy fish, but I'll rule it out if it's too aggressive. In particular, my wife has taken a...

Also, keep in mind, there are various shapes and sizes of anubias available. Eg. 'Nana' will stay small and compact with more rounded leaves, while 'Hastifolia' will get taller and have narrower leaves. It would be possible to 'scape the tank using just those, java fern, and some java moss if...

Slime Disease? (images) Aquarium Slime Disease Just a guess. So hopefully others will chime in. It's also known as Costia, and is generally caused by other factors. What size tank? How many fish? What, exactly, are the parameters? How long have you had the tank? These answers will help others...

That's very cool. One of the places I've promised myself I'll visit before I die.

Were they perhaps labeled "Brazilian Sword"? This is what aquarium stores tend to call Spathyphillum/Peace Lily, which makes an awesome house plant, or riparium plant. It is not, however, fully aquatic. On the subject at hand, however, it would be nice if the chain stores, and even a lot of...

Hopefully soon you'll be wanting to rename that tank :)

Hmmmm, don't know that one. Will go investigate....

So I think I'm kind of ruling out getting rummynose tetras, just because of some of the recent posts I've seen about them, and i really don't want to pay for 25 of them to see half of them die. Neons are nice, but I was thinking it would be nice to have something a little different (and besides...

I actually found that my platies for a while still fought for dominance, even though there was no female. Although they did eventually settle down.

How about a killifish. AFAIKthey don't need to be in schools. Only thing is I think they're particular about what they eat? Preferring live foods? Maybe someone else with more experience can chime in on that one. Definitely a top level fish though. Here's more info: Killifish

Got to agree with david. You are probably better off just letting the pH settle to it's natural level, than constantly trying to adjust it. most fish will adapt quite suitably to your pH, so long as it is not in constant flux. Some of the more sensitive fish (eg. discus) are particular about it...

aquatic plants

+1 on Aces idea. Add more danios, and a couple more corys
