I am sure your guppies will be fine. I used to have them and they are incredibly hearty! Good luck!

Hi, I use pool sand especially because I have clown loaches who love a soft sandy bottom and rio tapajo red noses and a juru pari who are earth eaters and love to sift the sand through their gills looking for food. I also have a planted tank and the cichlids pull up the plants when they dig...

I love your tank! Beautiful!

Hi Library Girl! Let us know what kinds of fishies you put in your tank and post some photos, too!

Tank's doing great! Hi Z, The tank is doing great! The fishies are happy with more room to stretch out. At first when we put them in the tank, they only swam a distance of 4 feet (the width of their previous tank). They would go 4 feet out then turn around. So funny! Finally they figured...

Oh, you are welcome Jen! :)

Oh, I'm so sorry you are losing your Gouramis. So sad.

That is really nice! The fishies are going to love it.

Oh boy! I can hardly wait to see it! :)

I'm so glad you waited to purchase fish at the fish store. Is your test tube you are using absolutely clean? It might have a trace of ammonia in it. If it turns out that you have ammonia in your water, I would call you water authority . . . that would definitely not be a good thing. Also, you...

Hi rdnelson99, For me, personally, I would definitely worry about ammonia. Although, it's been okay for slitherbomb. But also I have a freshwater aquarium and yours is saltwater, so maybe there is a difference there too. But, to be sure it's safe for your fish and everything else in the...

Hi Goldensunflowers, My tank just finished cycling a few days ago and all the fishies are in there now. It is very much worth the wait. I remember I needed to have a lot of patience, too. And I made a lot of mistakes that took extra time to correct. But Eco23 will help you. He knows this...

That's going to be really nice, Flash. Keep the photos coming!

Oh they DO! They absolutely LOVE IT in there! The clown loaches go racing across the tank with the Rio Tapajos coming after them and the little Cory Doras get in the mix too! :) Ian really likes fish now. The first morning, Ian was up first and turned the fish light on (first time in 17...

Photos are UP!!! Thank you Eco23; it was great getting to know you too! I am definitely sticking around. I have great friends here! You, Library Girl, DeckApe, Mr. Z and looking forward to meeting more of you all. Anyway . . ...

All Fishies are in! Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!! It took about 4 hours from beginning to end - I still have some clean-up to do - but all the fishies are moved into the big tank! It was so amazing! :band: No one wanted to be netted and put in the boxes of water, but I got them all (Ian netted the...

Thank you Eco! I'm actually using two kinda large rectangular plastic boxes. But your instructions on how to proceed are very useful! fill with 30% old water. Put fishies in. Every 10 or 15 minutes add a little more water until it's full. Siphon out half out half. Fill it to the top again...

Thank you Eco.:) But is 30 minutes enough time to bring the water ratio up to what they need? And what should ratio of old to new water be - 50% old and 50% new; or 40% old and 60% new. . . over 30 minutes (enough time?) Hopefully, this is my last question. :) Ann
