Mumma, I was thinking same thing after reading your post about running out of electric outlets! You should see my outlet...most have at least 1 powerstrip plugged in. Good thing is I can add an outlet or two if I need to! Just hate working with electricity but may come to that! By the...

Water changes and cleaning all 11 tanks! Started set up on 12th tank! Definite case of MTS....what is cure? I am running out of wall space! :rolleyes:

I kept my 55g tank at 88 for entire 2 weeks with no problems when I had outbreak of ick. It does take time and does get worse before it gets better! I lost several fish, but most made it through:fish2: After the 2 weeks, no ick in sight and no problems since. Be patient, it will work! Oh and I...

A few months ago I purchased a group of 4 spotted cories, to my delight the staff that helped me had actually given me 3spotted, and 1 Julie Cory. They all went thru quarantine and were added to my 56g column tank. I found the 3 spotted did hang out together, not a tight school but within...

You have a handsome boy there! I just got my first Bolivian rams a week ago, 2-male, 2-female. They have a great big personality for such little guys! You will love them!

I currently have a 55g, 56g column, 40g breeder, and 20g long (soon to be replaced with another 40breeder) in my living room. By the way, LR is only 12x19'! Have 2-10g, 2-5g, and 2.5g in the study. My daughter has 55g and 20g long in her bedroom. After reading through this post I'm thinking I...

I'm here in Texas for a visit and looking for wood I could add to my FW tank. There is a pile of deadwood at the place I am staying and I have been told it is from a Bodack tree also called the Horse apple tree. it has huge thorns on smaller branches that I would remove but kinda cool looking...

Hi all, I currently have 9 tanks. Got that MTS bad! 2-55gal 1-56gal column 2-10gal 2-5gal 1-20gal long 1-2.5gal Also have a 40 breeder in the works, still collecting equipment, but will start setting up next week:dance:

I have a small school of Tigers that seem to be getting along fine with 2 Bolivian rams and 3 Golden Wonders. Seems they are all just bossy enough to ignore each other! So this combo may work for you if you get larger tank, but not until then.

Great I really wanted to try sand in the tank...love the look

Thanks Bruin, I love these Golden Wonders...and yes they can be bullies! I originally had them in with some large Black Neons and after a couple of days I found they had gnawed off the entire tail of one of them! I was really upset...but decided to try them one more time with my larger...

Thanks Siva, I will add more hiding spots...but the loaches still have a couple of weeks of quarantine. As for the bottom wafers, I have always broken them into several chunks so none of the chunks are huge. I also usually feed the bottom dwellers after lights out and rest of critters have...

Thanks to all and one more question Thanks everyone! One last question, my Tigers are about 1 and1/2 inches and my GWK are coming up on 3 inches. The new baby clown loaches are barely an inch long. Do I need to grow them out some before I add them in with the TB and GWK? I have quite a few...

Hi all, Need some advice about a group a fish I have. Currently in my 20g long have 3-Golden Wonder Killifish 5-Tiger Barbs 7-Albino Tiger Barbs Tank is fully cycled for about 3 months, 2 HOB filters- Auquaclear 30 and Top Fin10. Ammonia-0, Nitrite-0, Nitrate-10-20. PWC weekly, about 50%. I...

Tried my killis with black neon tetras, seemed to be doing fine till I found one black neon with no tail! So I moved my killis in with my tiger barbs...seems to be working better. Thanks for the help

More dead fish! Well, we have lost a total of 13 fish now, ranging from danios to tetras to gouramis. After a ton of research my daughter and I think it may be fish TB. So what do we do now? :nono: have read everything from chuck everything including the tank and start again to let rest of fish...

Thanks! Good idea about Cory, and really want a ram. Thought about the danios because they are too big for the killis to eat! Any thought about larger tetras?

Numbers for the water are ammonia 0, nitrite 0, and nitrates run between 5 and 10. Water changes of about 15% every Sunday. She has had mollies for about 3 or 4 months. 1 male and 3 females. We expect her last molly, a Dalmation will probably be dead by morning from the way she is acting...

My daughter has had 3 of her 4 mollies die in the last two days and the fourth one ain't looking long for this world! She is devastated and doesn't know what to do. She has a 55gal, fully cycled, all numbers great. She has 7 serape tetras, 15 neon tetras, 3 cherry barbs, 4 bleeding hearts, 2...

Hi all, So got 3 golden wonder killifish but what can I add with them? I already have 7 Rosy barbs, 1 dwarf gourami, and 3 spotted cory cats. So info on the tank...55gal, fully cycled, ammonia 0, nitrites 0, nitrates 10. Thought of adding 1 ram, school of black neons (6), and another school...

Update on ich Treatment for one tetra worked! Had only a few spots and they went away within a few days but other tetra had very bad case and as it started to get better he got body fungus and died next day. Since then no sign of ich on other fish and I am just starting to decrease salt levels...

I have a total of 18 corycats in 3 different tanks. Love the little critters! I found the albino cores and julli cores much more active than the spotted cores I have. In fact the julli Cory I have I would swear is on crack! He/she just whips around the tank and is always very busy. Maybe your...

Maybe body fungus I just had some bleeding heart tetras with ich, it did not look like that but as ich was clearing up, one developed body fungus. Does it look like miniture cotton ball? Kind of fluffy looking? I am new to this but that is what it looks like to me. :ermm:

Thanks for help everyone, I will stick it out and let u all know how it goes

So won't hurt them to miss a few meals? What about fry?
