So long story short, after a long tank cycle, I added a firefish to my 29 gallon tank. I had aquired him from petco. When I put him in, he was a little shy at first.. but would come out every so often. About a week later, I added two clowns and a scooter Blenny. They all seemed fine. then a few...

Just got these two clowns in my tank. I bought them as a pair and drip acclimated them. A few hours later I noticed they are climbing or swimming against the glass. the baby keeps swimming against the glass all over the tank and the adult kinda leans on the sand. sry, the pic is sideways.

My mini internal skimmer doesn't fit. Should I return it? I bought it online at That Fish Place. My local hardware store.can't cut the glass, and last time I tried cutting glass... it didn't go over so well... any ideas or should I return it? I have a 29gallon. skimmer is 115 internal mini skimmer.

About two or three months ago, I was messing around in my tank, and I accidentally pulled off one of the tubes from my canister filter, spilling and splashing water on the bottom of my wooden stand (from walmart) and on the carpet. Horrible mistake. once I cleaned up, I went back to making sure...

I'm cycling my tank with LR uncured, and after about three days, I see this white stuff forming on it. what is it? it looks like mold.

This morning I took my road test for my license. I was confident I would pass and thought of all the things I'd do when I pass... I'm usually not this confident. but after the test, I found out I failed.. The mistakes weren't very bad, but they add up... now I just feel horrible, and...

I have an uncycled 29 gallon saltwater tank. (It used to be freshwater). I bought 21lbs of live rock from my LFS that sells Molokai Live Rock at $7/lb. I noticed it has all this fuzzy stuff on it etc. and smells like ocean. Am I supposed to cure this or would it help cycle my tank? The LFS has...

I'm setting up my 29 gal brackish tank, and I'm noticing that a rock I bought awhilr ago has two clam shells on it. what kind of rock is this? long ago, I bought it dry on a shelf at a LFS. I used the rock in my old freshwater tank, but have it in my now low brackish tank. what is this rock? I...

I currently have a 29 gallon FW tank set up with only a few guppies in it. Its been up and running for awhile now, and I feel that I wanted to move these few guppys to another smaller tank I have, and take a plunge into converting this tank into a brackish tank for a Green spotted puffer. I...

Anyone know if it is illegal to have Red cherry Shrimp in Hawaii? Freshwater ones. If so, know anywhere that sells it? I have looked at almost every pet store on island....If not, can I purchase them from ebay or is it illegal?

Long story short, I purchased this perfecto 2.5 reflector. According to instructions, it says to never place over open water. However, the perfecto glass cover I have, has no opening at all for airlines or filters. So I tried cutting the glass, but this failed miserably. So now, I was wondering...

Do you believe in superstition? How superstitious are you? I personally am superstitious, but to a certain point. For instance, I don't think an extra candle on a birthday cake will give me any type of luck... same for birthday wishes....they seem to never come true. However, I don't tend to...

Hows my 29 gallon stock? Also, can I add two angels? Should I add any more fish? 29 Gallon -1 Swordtail -3 Neons -1 BN pleco -1 Cory Catfish -2 Neon Dwarf Gouramis I was thinking adding more neons as I think they would need more than 3.

Used this fishing weight to sink my zuchinni for my bn pleco. But should I stop and buy veggie clips instead?

So right now I don't have a cave for my pleco. Will she be ok without one for the next two days till I can get one or should I go hunting for anything with a hole for her? All she has is this rock formation she goes under when the light is on, but Its not really dark like a cave. It just shades...

So I just put in my new BN pleco. But apparently I didn't know that you shouldn't use a net for them as their spikes get stuck in the net..... I learned that the hard way. I eneded up cutting the net then pulling the net to then free the pleco. It took about 5 mintues. At first I thought it was...

I just got back from the LFS and purchased my favorite fish....a BN pleco. When I arrived home, I thought the LFS messed up and gave me a common pleco. However, after some quick research, it could be that I have a female BN pleco. (I didn't see the bristlenose on the fish which is what caused my...

I heard about a way to do an almost instant cycle, and just wanted your opinions on it. Apparently you can squeeze out your sponge filter and prefilter into your new tank to make it cycle almost instantly. I just did this and was wondering if you guys feel this would actually work. I also added...

Upgraded my betta tank. It's kind of empty looking right now, but at least he has more room.

I just got a new tank, and it had a sticker inside of the tank on the floor of it. When I peeled off the sticker it left a sticker residue. I tried removing it with Mr. Clean magic eraser. I got off most of the white left over but some sticky stuff remains. Would this harm the fish in any way?I...

Would any type of Cichlids work in a 29 gallon? What about rams? Although I hear they are harder to care for and do they get along with live bearers?

What are some ideas for fish that can live nicely in a 29 gallon? Would one Parrot Cichlid live ok? Or do they get too big? As I have heard they can get up to 8 inches or so. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks!

I plan on eventually stocking a 20 gallon tank. Any suggestions for fish? Please no bettas or guppys. I have more than enough of those lol. Thinking of maybe a community tank or maybe a yellow electric Cichlid?
