I picked up some black bar endlers, decent sized juvies, the largest I would say are getting to breeding size. I'm having trouble feeding them. They don't seem to like the flake foods I have, I tried some granules and they spit those out like they do the flake. They take it in their mouth and...

I wouldn't suggest a non-filtered tank. I do run sponge filters in all my crayfish tanks so that I avoid sucking up the babies and the crays love to eat the "stuff" off of the sponge filter. In fact that's how I know I have babies, it looks like snow on my sponge filter :) Here are the...

I would probably advise against it. With the Betta's long fins he would be an easy catch for even these docile crays. That said I have heard of it working..

These are very docile crayfish but they will catch a fish. I have kept them with community tanks but I did loose a fish or two. I really like crayfish and the community tank really did a great job keeping the baby crays in check. The tank loved all the "free" food. These guys do love plants, I...

I added a picture, the mothers are very blue but I feed a lot of shrimp pellets so I think that's what does it. These things grow like weeds and will be having babies very quickly :)

I have some one inch juvie marmorkrebs for sale. Ive had great luck shipping these. These are the self cloning crayfish, theyare a great food source, extremely hardy and docile. I keep them with endlers and they do great together. Ive kept these crays in heated and unheated tanks. They LOVE...

Try it now is what they are all saying. If you unplug your filter, then do a water change (the water level drops low enough to drain the filter. Then you added water again and plugged in your pump. Water won't go uphill in this case. HOWEVER, if you try it now WITHOUT changing the water level...

Anyone have any links to information about freshwater sumps? How about a good link to a rubbermaid sump (salt or fresh). I have pleanty of room for one and am trying to decide if I should do it on my 75...

Jim, The wall conceals a "utility" room. It has a standpipe and the electrical box back there and a concrete floor. Since I have access to a drain and the water pipe I'm going to put in a sink back there too so that water changes are easy..

I understand what you are saying with high traffic but really there won't be much traffic at the bar. We used to have it setup in another house and when we have company it is normally for a game so we are near the TV. Any traffic will be 6 feet from the tank. We also don't entertain that often...

I am going to build a 75 gallon into a wall in my basement behind my bar. Since it will be behind my bar the bottom of the tank will need to be 48" off the floor to be viewable from the rest of the room. What do you think? Too high? Seems just right for standing height?

I have been looking at some Cichlid fish and they certainly are colorful!! How hard are they to keep? Can I put other fish with them?

I would like an active tank so possibly fast schooling fish or possibly a specimen fish? Budget is an issue so I'll be getting fish slowly...

Thanks for the ideas, keep them coming :) Keep in mind that I am a novice, I have kept tanks for about 6 months, cycled them, etc so any fish suggested should be somewhat hardy... I am familiar with water changes, etc...

Holy cow, you could put 40 of them in a 75 :) I had thoughts of getting the different livebearers and getting a bunch of colors etc... :)

Clean slate guys... I currently have two 10 gallon tanks running for about 6 months. One is my "daughters" and houses platys, the other is at work and houses two crayfish. Anyway, I have a line on a cheap 75 gallon tank that I know is leak proof (saw it full of water) and comes with dual...

Anyone got any endlers that they are looking to get rid of? I am looking for 4 females and two males. Thanks so much

Well at that point he can keep the MTS snails under control instead of the assassin snails. For now I have a couple snails in there and he just plays with them, he tries to crush them but doesn't have the strength yet..

Anyone know if assassin snails will attack a crayfish? I have a crayfish and would like to expand to an invertebrate tank with MTS snails and assassin snails. They cray is too small yet to crush snails, he just pulls them around the tank.. Any chance the assassin's would go after the cray?

What types of snails eat fish waste? Assassin snails would be fun and I have a crayfish in another tank that likes snails so I might be able to keep them down?

Thanks for the info, the cory's look cool, I'll have to show them to by daughter... it is "her" tank :) If we were looking for snails which ones would be preferred? (I don't want 1000 snails in the tank :) I'm not looking for a fish that eats waste, if you find one you'll be a millionare :)...

Hey everyone, My daughter has a new tank with some platties in it. Was just wondering what would be a good bottom cleaner fish? I know pleco's have a huge bioload so I really don't want them... Anyone have a good fish to help keep the gravel clean? I do water changes weekly with a siphon...

I am going to have to get a different light, I currently have the normal light. Won't java fern grow like crazy? Any way to keep it in check? Thanks!

So we got a few platys, that and ghost shrimp in the tank. What should we be feeding the platys and the shrimp? Thanks!
