Hi there... looking for a 60-75 Gallon tank, prefer a plexi but will take glass as long as it is in relatively good shape. Would rather a breeder type tank, shorter height and a bit wider and longer but am open to all considerations. Am in the San Francisco Bay Area - thanks! Clare

I have a nice school of 8 clown loaches, ranging in size from 2-4 inches long that are in need of a new tank to call home as my 115G is not getting any bigger :-) I am located int he Silicon Valley/Bay Area in California and will not ship - these are for local pick up/delivery only. These...

I am in the process of attempting to breed peacock gudgeons and would love to hear about anyone else's experience in doing so. I have 7 fish in a 20G long - 2 males and the rest females (fairly sure on sex though these are young fish but the males have the bigger bulging heads). I have had...

I am interested in acquiring and breeding the following: neolaprologus multifaciatus and lamprologus ocellatus gold I have bred German Blue Rams and long fin albino ancistrus successfully and would now like to try some Africans....my LFS guy recommended these. Can anyone out there share...

Just picked these up at a local fish club auction last night - can anyone ID them for me - I though they were pretty and no one there could properly ID them except to say they were apistos....they are currently in my quarantine tank. Oh, the longfin albino bn plecos are ones I bred; they just...

Hi, there: If there is anyone in this group interested, and you live in the San Francisco Bay Area, I have long fin albino bristlenose plecos for sale. Might consider trade on a breeding pair of apistos or electric blue rams..... I have the breeding pair and can supply pics. They range in...

Hi there! Need some help - my German Blue Rams have spawned again and I have hatched out the eggs and have wrigglers now :-) Did not leave them with the parents this time as they keep eating the young fry after 4-5 days. Was hoping that there is someone out there with an active microworm...

Hi, there! If you are in the Northern California area, especially near San Jose, and are interested in obtaining some pretty and healthy long fin albino bn plecs, feel free to message me - I have over 100 and about 30 are looking for new tanks to swim in :-) My LFS is taking them too, but my...

Just hoping someone can ID this longfin bristlenose pleco for me - LFS called them lemondrops....cannot find much of anything on the web about lemondrop b/n plecs. Are they simply just regular brown b/n juveniles with long fins? Sorry in advance for the out of focus pics - my camera and I...

Some folks have an Images count link on their ID when posting - I checked under User CP and followed the instructions from a previous post, but it does not show up even though I have pics in an album and many pics uploaded and posted. I am obviously not understanding something - can someone...

Just picked up two Stiphodon sp. - here are some pics ... can anyone tell me the full name & more about them? Not much on the web..... They are about 2 inches in length and quite pretty :-) Put them in my 115G to help with algae control.

Well, here's an update - the rams ate their babies on day 5 but I managed to scoop about 10 of them up in a cup very gently and put them in my 10G grow out tank with the thriving baby LF albino plecs - all of them are doing fine and eating BBS but since they are so small it makes cleaning the...

OMG - not only do I have another spawn of baby albino long fin bn plecs to deal with but now I have just checked my heavily planted 10G with a pair of German Blue Rams in it and they have spawned as well - seems like a hundred of the little fry swimming in a group an they are protecting them...

Well, my plecos have spawned again - Dad is fanning eggs as I type :-) I still have 35-40 fry at a little over 1" in length from the last spawn that are not quite grown out yet to take to the LFS....they are in my current 10G grow out tank. My thought is to upgrade these into a 20G grow out...

I have 4 of these little plecos in my 115G and was wondering if anyone could ID them for me. Lost their ID from the LFS where I got them. Thanks for any responses..... Cheers, Clare

Well, the spawn has continued todo well and are now a little over an inch long - woo-hoo! Here are some pics....I have counted between 35-40 from the original batch I found in my 40G. I have them now in a 10G with an Aquaclear 50 filtering it - these little guys make quite a mess :-) Doing...

Hi, there....need some advice please. My albino long fin BN plecos (male has red eyes and female has blue eyes) have bred in my 40G planted tank. I discovered the babies about 5 days ago in a deep crevice of a large chunk of mopani wood. They seem very healthy and dad is guarding them, though...

Can anyone give me a recommendation for a T5 HO lighting fixture for my 10G planted tank? I have a Marineland LED fixture on it (6 whites/3 blues) and the plants are fine but I would like brighter light. I have Coralife T5HO fixtures on my other two tanks (115G and 40G) but they do not seem to...

Hope that someone can help me with the following questions. I recently set up a 115G freshwater - 24" deep x 60" length x 18" wide. Doing lots of research on the web gives me tons of info, most of which is more technical that I can relate to. I already had a 48" T5 HO Coralife fixture with...

Hi, All.... I am hoping that you all can give me some advice... I have a f/w 100G hex that is 36 inches deep and the standard suction gravel vac just does not have the power to lift up the majority of the debris off the top of the sandy substrate due to the depth of the tank versus the distance...

Hi, All: Need some advice - I have a pair of breeding angels in my 100G tall hex that laid their eggs on the filter intake pipe - i left them be until they all turned white (not viable and getting fuzzy) so I decided to scrape them off before they got too moldy. Well, the angels, needless to...

So, I am back into this hobby after a long hiatus - my tanks are doing great and the fish are thriving - I am indeed grateful that I had some prior knowledge before I set them up. However, I do have fish now that I never kept in years previous and have a couple of questions, so here are goes...

Hi, All: Just getting back into this hobby after a long hiatus - glad to have found this site. I have some general questions, so I will find the appropriate forum and wade right in (pun intended). Thanks! Cheers, Clare

Am in process of putting together my next tank - 100 gallon hex tall and was considering using live substrate from CarbiSea to assist in the cycling process instead of using the usual danio method (catching them afterwards in the 40 was a trip and would be harder in this tank LOL). I am not...

I am currently using a Tetratec EX45 Filter on my 40 gallon f/w tank.....if anyone is familar with this filter, I have a question.....when I replace the filter carbon bag, I need to know if I need to rinse off the Bio Scrtubber section at the same time or do I leave it in place with the gunk...
