A couple weeks ago I had lost a tiger barb from I believe swim bladder (or whatever it’s called). Although everyone insisted that I may have a disease in my tank. A month later no more losses so obviously it was not a disease (unless the fish it self just had one). I believe it had died from...

i am just looking around as i dont want to spend th money right now but would i need something like, Marineland LED Double Bright Aquarium Lighting System

I have tried feeding my plecos zucinni and cucumber, blanched and raw... nothing they havent eaten any of it. they are small and/or young (1.5-2 inches) maybe thats why? (clown and bristlenose)

55 gallon ammonia i always find hard to tell but im pretty sure 0 nitrite 0 nitrates 5

well someone mentioned blood worms, i do feed those once a week, the tiger barbs go nuts for them, could it be something with that?

ok so i have 8 tiger barbs. one of them, the smallest one, was swimming funny, up and down kinda all over the place and would get pushed up by bubble curtain. so i took him out and put it in a cup with tank water (no quarantine tank) he died minutes later. Any ways tested my water and its...

I use two different forums questions, and I get mixed answers on this one. When to change my filter cartridge on my hob. One says to wait till its falling apart the other says monthly, so which is it? My filter has two cartridges (for a 55 gal) I know when I do change it; change them one at a...

I already have them, 1 clown pleco and 1 bristlenose. I was just checking that these two would be ok. I have a 55 gallon with plants, two types of wood, and a couple places to hide. We got the clown because my girlfriend liked him, he doesnt seem to come out too much, kinda boring. The...

hmm... well how do you know? i guess since he hasn't eaten raw try blanch? which how long would you boil it for?

I have put cucumber in for my pleco, I don't think it ate it, the whole piece is always still in tact. I am going try zucchini. What is the best way to give, just raw? Also what I am curious about is what the best way to preserve the rest of the vegetable is?

I was just wondering the best thing to feed the two fish are. I currently use algae wafers, flakes, frozen blood worms, and just got bottom feeder shrimp pellets and veggies. i have a 55 gallon. I just want to make sure these guys are getting their fair share of food. my rainbow shark seems to...

I highly doubt its my tank. Wouldn't I be having trouble with my other 24 fish? Like I said the first two came from a tank that shouldn't of been sold from. The next store had a betta in with the angels which is was nibbling on a dead angel... Petsmart had just gotten them in the same day...

is it ok to just keeo one angel?

I went to a local pet store (pets choice) and bought 2 angels from a tank they were observing, but he told me that the plecos were being observed because they were dying, not the angel fish. They both died with in three days so i took them back. I went to a different store (pet supplies plus)...

i have a AquaTech 30-60 Power Filter. it uses i blue filter cartridge and a bio filter. How do i service this? How often do i have to change the cartridge, do i ever have to change bio-filter? (i believe in directions it says you do not) If not should i clean the bio-filter.

i test often too, but its a relatively new tank. thanks for the help.

ok i also added four fish a couple hours after i cleaned filter so that may explain it. im not too worried. thanks

do you think lightly brushing it would of hurt or taken away some bacteria

how do you go about rinsing it.

i have a filter that hangs on the back, intake in water, and has two sides of filter media and coal or whatever it is (55 gallon). It is the first time i cleaned it i stuck it in a bucket of aquarium water to rinse off, the mistake i probably made was use a tooth brush to lightly scrape off...

i found it i finally moved the house and it was in there. didnt seem like anything tried to eat it which im surprised

Thanks everyone! Although i think cories are really cool... i think i am going to hold off and see how my current stock holds up for the next few months. I think it would be best.
