I need help from some experts and quick! My tank is crashing, I have a 120gal freshwater tank with a 7-8 in Red Devil, a 4in Jack Dempsey and a 12+in Pleco. The water parameters have gone off the scale. Ammonia is over 8.0, I cant get a true reading because the chart goes only to 8.0 Nitrates...

I took my two daughters to see the movie and it was amazing. The visiuals were unbelivable, you truly felt like you were underwater watcing the interaction of the animals. Although I don't have a saltwater tank, I now want to get one set up as soon a possible. The diffent types of ecosystems in...

I finally was able to get a decent picture of my Jack Dempsey so i thought i would share it with AA. Sorry advisors I just realized I posted this in the wrong topic header

I got a pair of long-veiled Blue Rams about a week and a half ago...i have been rather nervous because of the reputation they have for dying quickly. So far so good with the fish...they have established territories..I belive they are both males and so far I've been lucky because they are not...

Ive been surfing the forum looking for info on how to clean plastic plants and I have found nothing. Dr Fosters sells something to soak plants in overnight to clean them..does anyone know what in it ? Is it something I can make from home ingredients? Does anyone have a DIY way of cleaning plants?

I haven't seen the hyperlink to "view all my posts"...It was there before the update now its gone...Is it coming back? i think it was on the index page

Ok so ive read several other GBR sexing threads...i think I have a new wrinkle....the two GBR that I bought are a "Long Finned" variety. Meaning their fins are longer than the traditional GBR. Notice in the pic below the oversized dorsal fin, the front fish has this also but is obsured by the...

Ive been considering planting my 55gal community tank... as i was flipping through Dr Fosters catalog i noticed that they offer "Plant Paks" a variety of different plants to "aquascape" your tank. The paks varied depending on the size of your tank...

Ive been wanting to add Blue Rams to my 55gal Community tank for quite sometime. I finally did it. Ive been hesitant because of all the talk about how easily they die, but this tank has been up for 1.5 yrs now and is well established...so i figure it was as good a time as any..... I really hope...

I just stopped in my LFS and although I have freshwater fish tanks, i always take a cruise by the Marine tanks. In one of the tanks they had this most amazing fish it was jet black and looked like a boomerang with bright orange along its trailing edge..I had never seen anything like it. i had...

i was wondering about Aggressive fish and how many you can put together. I currently have a 120gal tank with a 5in Red Devil and a 12in Sailfin Pleco and a 3.5 in Jack Dempsey. (the RD chases the JD from time to time) I realize that these fish will continue to grow...am i maxed out or is there...

Hey all, Check out my two new additions to my 120gal freshwater. Both these fish were given to me by people whose tanks were too small for large fish. (i don't have that problem) the pleco is 12in and the Red Devil is about 5-6in i also had a line on a 5in Jack Dempsey but just missed out. i...

FREE>>>>FREE>>>>>FREE! I tried to see if anyone wanted to trade for an 11 inch common Pleco but no takers so now I'm offering him up for free. I currently have three common Plecos in a 120gal tank...I really don't need three so I'd like to find a home for the 11in one (the others are 5in and...

I've just recieved two huge plecos from someone who didn't have room for them anymore...they are 12" and 11" each. They are currently in my 120gal tank but obviously they are "alot of fish" and I only wanted one of them. Is anyone looking for a quality pleco? Maybe we could make some kind of...

My Oscar is having trouble....after a tank change into a 90gal from a 55gal the Oscar cracked the tank and it was leaking all over my room so I had to quickly move the fish backinto the 55gal that had been sitting outside in my backyard(I didn't have time to clean it) then about a week and a...

I think my Oscar may have "Hole in Head"...he has small depressions around his eyes and "forehead". At first I thought he was banging his head into the the heater. But now I begining to suspect he's sick. I moved him from a 55gal to a 90gal three months ago and then had to move him from the...

Hello All, Its been a while since I've been on AA..I got a new job back in Jan. and it keeps me pretty busy. but I had to tell this story. As some regulars may know my previous posts i rescued a Red Oscar from my brother in law and I also got a 90gal tank of the Barter/Trade thread for an...

I was just wondering...my water parameters have been fine for quite a while..in both my tanks but i have noticed lately that the Total Alk (KH) has slowly been dropping into the "LOW" range at 40ppm..I realize home test strips are not that accurate but i use them to give me a "heads up" to...

I'm not sure if this is purely coinicedental but I run a spraybar on my 29 gal tank...and after my cycle i had a problem with diatoms until i got some otos and they cleaned it up..I noticed that the diatoms were just growing in the area of the tank that the spraybar covered...outside that area...
