I moved into a new house several months ago and started to re-stock my tank. All I had was a big danio so I bought this fish from the pet store. He was little when I got him about 3 months ago. I do not remember what he was called but it was not a cichlid, jack dempsey, or oscar. He was labeled...

my old filter broke. Just one bio wheel turns now. I bought another one to replace this. Should I leave the old one running for a bit? is it going to cause another cycle if I don't. How do I go about everything, I mean when can I remove the old one? or should I just take one of the cartridges...

I bought 2 dalmation mollies two days ago and just now I walk by my tank and one is popping out babies. What do I do? I have a 55g and I hear some of the other fish I have like to eat them. I have quite a few artificial plants. I kind of prefer the idea of natural selection if they are meant to...

I went to the pet store last night as they had a pretty good sale and looked healthy and got a few guppies, 2 dalmation mollies, and 2 ghost catfish. My girlfriend got to pick them out so I read the cats were community fish and asked the lady who normally is on the ball and of course she said 2...

Hey guys. I accidently made a goof up. :lol: I have a 55 g tank with a lot of fake plants in it. I hadn't seen my pearl gourami in awhile so I thought it had died. She is a female. I ordered another female last night and before I went to bed was looking and saw mine hiding in the plants...

Does it REALLY matter that I have been giving my tropical fish goldfish flakes? They came with my tank and the last couple months I have been subbing in dried blood worms about once a week, and algae wafers for the bottom dwellers. They don't really seem to go for the zuchini I tried to give...

Not going to post a million pictures, I uploaded to my profile if anyone wants to see. I'm done except need one danio to round out my school to 6. Not sure if I have room for any more but this is what I have. 5 Zebra Danios 6 Neons 6 Glo lights 1 Clown Pleco 2 Swordtails 2 Guppies 6 Cories 1...

Got a little Clown Pleco last night. He promptly went in the shipwreck in the bottom of my tank never to be seen since. I have drift wood in there and I put a couple algae tablets in, hoping to intice him out. The algae tablets got eaten mostly by my other fish really fast so i put like 3 or 4...

My guppies have had issues ever since I got them. I had 4 and now I am down to 3. I love the way they look but I think the other fish harass the heck out of them. Anyways, a couple weeks ago one started swimming squirrley and acted like he was sick so I got rid of him, did some water changes...

Is it ok if I cap my guppies at 2 and maybe get a school of glolight tetras instead of 4 guppies. I have had 4 in there a couple times and believe it or not my danios and swordtail harass the heck out of them and have basically killed it down to the same two both times now. My water conditions...

So I went to 3 LFS's tonight after work, looking for a pearl gourami. The only one that supposedly has them is Pet Depot. Of course, they were out, and only get them on Wednesdays. Anyways, I have a community tank with guppies, neons, danios, cories, and sword tails. I only want one gourami in...

*Gasp* :lol: Anyone like to fish here? If so, what do you usually fish for? Do you fish fresh or salt water? Catch and release or do you keep them? I personally fish fresh water, I have a little 14 foot bass boat which I fish for Mostly anything as long as it is big. I go out on lake ontario a...

I decided I need some more gravel in my tank. It has some but its not really enough. The gravel I have now came with the tank when I bought it. It's mostly white and has a few pinkish red stones in, and had a little sand runoff that color probably from being rinsed so many times. Anyways, I was...

So I went to the creek down the road a ways and walked in a bit and got a few pieces of driftwood which I hope will be ok for my tank. I am planning on getting a clown pleco sometime so I want to have it set up so it is easy for him to adapt. I came home with 3 pieces and a big piece of slate...

I am beginning to think I need a little more gravel in my tank to help hold some of the "stuff" down better. Is it ok to buy a bag and just rinse it completely and add it in a cup at a time with fish in there? Will it screw stuff up? Or do I need to take the fish out to do this, because I can...

Hey, this is kind of a stupid question because it doesn't really seem possible to me, but is there a way I can put a "shield" of sorts around my filter intake that will still make it effective but prevent fish from getting caught there? I have a 55 gal with a 350 gph penguin HOB filter...

Hey, this is what my stocking is like so far... I have a 55 g tank with the following in it 6 zebra danios 6 cory cats 2 female swordtails 4 male guppies. I am planning on getting a clown pleco eventually, and finishing off with a Pearl Gourami. Now here is the question. The next fish I get...
