    FS: Pure endlers

    I am beginning to become overrun with ELBs. I may be looking to get rid of about 20 (mixed sexes) at $3/pair with a couple extras thrown in. They are in various stages of development. They have never seen a guppy. I have never shipped fish before, so I would have to do some research on the...

    Metabolism/appetite of tropicals

    Hi all. We were having a "discussion" at my parent's house the other night and I was hoping that you could answer this for me. Would tropicals be/act hungrier in an unheated tank than they would in a heated tank or the other way around? Thanks!

    Restocking 29 gallon

    Hey guys. I haven't asked any stocking questions in a while because things have been going nicely in my tanks. But recently I aquired two more 10 gallon tanks, so I will be moving the endlers from my 29 gallon. That will leave my 29 gallon with 6 cherry barbs and 1 oto. Kinda bare. :wink: So...

    Canister media

    Hi all. I recently purchased a canister filter at a flea market for $3. And yay it works. It is a fluval 204 with 3 baskets. I was wondering what sort of media I should put in these and in what order. I don't want to get caught up in all of the 'buy the brand name' hype. I was looking for...

    Canister UNDER tank?

    I have a fluval 204 that I would like to use for my 29 gallon tank. But when I read the directions, it says to place it on the floor near the tank. I would like to put it in the stand under the tank. I think that people usually put the filter under the tank. Any reason why I shouldn't? Thanks.

    Cherry shrimp in the filter

    Well, this is my first foray into keeping shrimp and as I expected, some of my cute little (and I mean leeeeettle) cherry shrimp have ended up in my filter. I have one of those silly whisper in-tank filters (not extremely powerful) which now is housed in a piece of pantyhose. When I finally...

    Dropsy. Tank infected?

    Well, as I should have expected one of my new cherry barbs isn't doing well. He is the largest of the bunch and just this morning when I looked it seemed like one of his sides has swelled up. As soon as I saw this I removed him from the main tank. He is in QT now, and I have been reading on how...

    All you algae-eater experts

    I need your advice. I am looking for an algae-eater that stays relatively small for my 29 gallon with a pH of 8.0. I am looking for something 'fancy schmanzy'...not your ordinary bristlenose. So far I have been told that a CAE might fit the bill. Any other suggestions? Thanks!

    Floundering

    So here I am with my 29 gallon still fishless cycling and quite frankly I haven't a clue what I am going to put in it. Every time I think I make a decision I change my mind. First I was thinking cories and rams and cherry barbs, then in the next breath I move over to the cichlid side. My bf is...

    Sand and gravel

    I have heard that some people mix sand with gravel for a substrate. When I gravel vac...I GRAVEL VAC. Really dig down to get the junk out. When you mix sand with the gravel, how do you vac without removing all of the sand?

    Explain this 'glass top' thing to me.

    I am looking into getting a glass top for my 29 gallon tank. It has a single strip light on it now (20w) and I am not in any position to spend lots of $$$ on a CF, so I have to work with what I have. I am wondering a few things: First of all I have read many posts about people adding random...

    Are killies hard to keep?

    I have been reading mulitple sites and from the sounds of it, killies are harder to keep than most fish. Is this true or are these people just being killi-snobs? 8O I see that a few of you have posts up now that you are new to killi-keeping or thinking about it. I have been looking for...

    What would YOU do?

    I recently acquired a used tank which I believe to be between 25-29 gallons. (I don't have the measurements handy) Anyway, I came to the realization that even though I am very excited about the tank...I have no idea what I want to put in it. I thought if I heard what others might stock it with...

    Inherited 29 gallon tank and a bala shark

    Eek. What a way to spend a Sunday. I learned yesterday that my father's friend wanted to get rid of his 29 gallon tank. It came with the works, so I said 'what the heck...it is FREE!'. Also included was one fish. Exciting stuff, right?!?! So anyway, this morning I moved my tiny 5.5 gallon into...
