My common pleco has finally gotten a little too big for my 55gal, and i'd like to put him in my 75. The 75 has a lot fewer plants, and it has only a midas-reddevil cichlid crossbreed in it. I know that you aren't supposed to net plecos....but what would be the best way to transfer him over...

He is approx 6" long and looks like a baby great white shark. Really fun to watch him feed. He is a pretty rare find for a freshie, and we love him, but he just doesn't work well in our community tank since his hyperactivity makes our other smaller fish nervous and he likes to eat things...

i just fed my oscar some large cichlid sticks and he pigged out as usual. what is odd is that he is not closing his mouth and i can see a "stick" wedged crosswise in his throat. he keeps swimming up to the glass and folllowing me around the tank like he is trying to show me.... It sort of...

looking for a cheap 29 QT tank (with a filter preferably) my oscar's current QT is a little on the small side and i wanna make sure he is cool while we go on vacation and the in-laws are babysitting......

what kind of vitamins should i use to supplement for my oscar? he has been suffering from HITH and i was told that greater amounts of certain vtamins in their diet helps out.......anyone got any suggestion/recommendations?

all put together (we think..theres no directions) and we are getting alot of clean white foam coming out of the top (new water one week old with only live rock in the tank). The skimmer is in the sump (sump is not working yet). We are not sure if we put something in the wrong place b/c it...

although it will be at least another 3-4 months before we start adding fish to the tank we are starting to narrow down what we want in the tank i know that the general rule with SW is 2" of fish for every 10 gallons. and i won't do anything that will cause problems long term.....does where...

an aunt gave us a 75 gal saltwater tank with about 150 lbs of live rock and a TON of equipment (all for free b/c she's too old to deal with it) and none of it has any directions or instructions. She is kind of senile now so getting help from her is really difficult and although i have been...

was in the process of moving my new 75 gal from my friends house when i found a "worm" that kinda looked like pics that i have seen of bristle worms....BUT it was completely red and had 4 antennae and i swear i saw eyes!!!! i stuck it in the QT b/c i wasn't sure that he was kosher.... sorry i...

i'm mixing saltwater for the first time EVER......how long do i have to let it mix before i can get an accurate SG reading? The water will be mixing until friday when i go pick up the tank, but i want to make sure i have enough mixed up before then.

i have a 75gallon with a Red Devil Cichlid, and he has been in there for at least 5-6 months now. i do a 40% water change about once every 3 weeks. yesterday i was "playing hide-and-seek" with him, and noticed what i thought was a shoestring in the tank. at first i assumed that it must be...

my oscar is rapidly outgrowing his 10g and so i'm looking for an upgrade tank. i'm willing to travel a lil bit if it's a good deal. thanks, jenny

i live in the orlando area and am trying to find a decent LFS. i currently have all FW but will be buying/inheriting a SW (just live rock in it right now) very soon. I would like to find a relatively knowledgeable shop, or at the least, one who has healthy, well cared-for fish. TIA, jenny

feed your fish frozen peas (cooked before put in tank)? or should i only purchase the peas in a pod in the store and de-shell them? i'm supposed to give one of my fish some peas today to help with digestion (thank you Qtoffer) after a pigging out incident yesterday. Just wanted to find out...

i just fed my blue whale catfish (cetopsis coecutiens) some formula one and it was a rather large chunk that he swallowed whole. now he keeps alternating between sinking to the bottom and then thrashing around the tank. do i need to do some sort of fishy heimlich maneuver????? he's the...

someone i know is trying to get rid of her 75g FW tank which currently houses her 8" red devil. She is including the wooden stand and all of the goodies (price $100) I have offered to take it off of her hands so that it goes to a good home, however i don't know much about cichlids. I only have...

ok i currently only have a 55g FW but i have been reading nonstop about SW for about 6 months now. I've already picked out fish, corals, etc.. in my future tanks...... However this may sound dumb ..... What is a sump/fuge exactly? everyone always explains that they have one and how big...

I'm visitin gmy sister in New Hampshire and about a yr ago my mother bought her some fish (unbeknownst to me). neither of them did research about tank mates and all of her tetras already in the tank got eaten. So now a yr later i'm trying to figure out what type of fish she has and get her...

i've never had an oscar before, but someone offered me one for free yesterday b/c he is moving (tank not included). he's not full grown yet and he's 5-6 inches long right now. Prob is .. my only empty established tank is a 20 gal tall...will this work for now until i can get something bigger?

i am a relatively new aquarium owner and every time i ask advice at the lfs it just seems like they are trying to make a sale. i was thinking of getting a german blue ram just to add a little color and maybe a couple of hatchets too, but i am not sure if i have too many in there already and if...

anyone have advice on blue whale fish???

i recently moved to a new area and checked out the LFS. Saw this really pretty fish about 5 1/2 inches long. He almost looks like a little shark b/c he has a stub nose with a receding lower jaw and bead little eyes up front. He is a silvery blue on top and white on his underside. What is...
