    20 gallon stocking

    Bristlenose get large there are smaller plecos out there zebras are beautiful but very pricey I'd recommend going to planetcatfish.com taking a look they are on point with information, and they are extensive. Unfortunately you will be on there for a long time and end up with a lot of choices lol.

    Who can sex RAMS?

    Ok so I was at a store today and I ended up speaking with someone who is an authority of some dwarf cichlid something or other. ( I could barely keep up on the info he was giving me on fish let alone what association he belonged to) he gives speeches on cichlids and his knowledge was impeccable...

    Co2 or not

    Well I decided to try it with one, if I need to add another bottle I will. If it goes much past that or if I find some money in a ditch or something I'll upgrade to a full setup. We will see I guess.

    Some direction please.

    I went to Eli's first and looked for the fish then asked the guy... Then went to absolutely fish and they didn't have them either but again they will call. I'd personally rather go to a breeder bc I'll know more about the environment they we're kept in.

    Co2 or not

    I do not. The sand was in the tank from the start didn't add plants for a while I'd say 8 months or so. Is this a good alternative to the DIY setup? If so which is best?

    Co2 or not

I have 5 black skirt tetras, 5 adult guppies and a bunch of baby's, 3 neon tetras I may get 3 more bc one sits in the corner I think he wants...

    Decorating my tank

    My last freshwater tank had rainbow sandstone rock work in it. I know it wasn't too expensive bc I'm usually a cheapo. I can't remember where I got it, it was online though I'd just google it. But it comes in a box from 25 to 50 lbs if I remember correctly. I ended up using "rock glue" if I did...

    Sand!

    If there is no movement in the sand toxins will build up. When you do your water changes take the gravel vac and push it in the sand ( different areas every time) pull it out of the sand slowly, give it a little shake about an inch above. This will get all the sand out of the vac or at least the...

    yellow lab problems

    You can try adding caves for the little one to hide in... Once he picks a spot do your regular feed, and then use an eye dropper, add food suck up some water and slowly squeeze it into his cave. This way the others will be occupied and he can eat in peace. I've never owned cichlids before, but...

    Some direction please.

    I have both that are close only do African... The other is very over priced and I mean I might as well have them shipped bc it would save me the gas money lol. However they have only top notch livestock. They will close a tank down for any slight problem and I mean one dead fish means tank is...

    It looks to me like those are both outputs on the piece that came with the LEDs. I would think there is an input elsewhere

    Piranhas!!!

    Correct me if I'm wrong but aren't red bellies, as with most pacu, scavengers... From what I have seen and heard they only go after dying fish. To me that means if they are properly fed they would be no harm to a healthy fish... I've never owned them do I don't know, and I pass them by at the...
