    Anyone Got Any Ghost/Paranormal Stories

    I've got one. The house I bought last fall was built in 1949 and I bought it from the original owner, she was 94. I moved in on December 12013 and in mid January I seen something. The bedroom has a closet and in the closet, there is a door to access the attic. I was sleeping and just woke up, I...

    Is my tank over stocked? Barb/cory issues

    I'd go 4 male plat ties and your albino Cory cat plus only 1-2 more. Then add more stet isle for your 55. That's how all of these tanks start out. One tank suddenly turns into 3-4.

    Is my tank over stocked? Barb/cory issues

    Weekly water changes are a good habit to get into. During this time, it allows you to check that all equipment is in working order. And that all fish are healthy. Do you know the species of pleco? I'd move your albino, for stress relief, to the 10. You can also move your other one over so they...

    Plant pot Caves?

    Place them where ya want them and bury them a bit so they are sturdy. They aren't complicated. Your fish will love them. I made caves out of the trays the pots sit on as well. The flat surface makes a nice breeding area.

    Is my tank over stocked? Barb/cory issues

    When you say 'they', do you mean the plecos or Aquadvisor? Plecos are like goldfish, big, messy and poop factories. So you'd need to keep on top of water changes. Now, aqadivsor, you need to take it with a grain of salt. Don't believe everything it says. It's more of a guide. What color is the...

    Is my tank over stocked? Barb/cory issues

    The test strips aren't accurate, I'd chuck em. Red tailed sharks can get aggressive, sorry but I'd pass on the shark. As for the 10g with red fish, a few red Mickey mouse plat ties would be a good idea. Try and get all MALES. plat ties are livebearers and breed like crazy! Even if you had all...

    Is my tank over stocked? Barb/cory issues

    What type of plecos are they? The common pleco can grow huge, even of they're small, and all plecos are poop factories, along with the 2 mollies. Is your gravel or sand light or dark? The albino is getting picked on most likely b/c it sticks out like a sore thumb. Think black on white, easy to...

    Help needed with plant destruction!

    If indeed it is a white ribbon, they do best in terriaums, like for frogs/toads. I'm not sure planting it in a pot,like a normal house plant, would work, unless you put the whole thing in the tank and let the leaves reach out the top.

    Help needed with plant destruction!

    It appears to be a white ribbon plant. If so, it's not an aquatic plant. If so, eventually they will melt and just fall apart. These are very pretty, but can't handle being fully submersed.

    Ageing fish and looking to replacing them.

    It's been awhile since I've been on and I need some help, imagine that! My current 29g has been running for over 3 years and, sadly, the original fish are slowly starting to pass away. I'm looking to replace them with some new species, any and all ideas are welcome. Here's my current list: Male...

    Plant pot Caves?

    The terra cotta pots will work. Givethem a good scrub with hot water first. I just break them in half, smooth any rough edges and put it on it's side, like a cave. They usually have a drain hole in the bottom, I've got an Anubis in the hole, it's attached itself.

    What Did You do With Your Tank Today?

    Trimmed some more plants and starting to figure out how I'm going to move my 'big' 29 gallon in a month or 2. It's been planted for over a year and everything is very much established. I have an idea: remove all fish and drain water to about an inch or so, leaving all plants rooted in the sand...

    Thank you everyone so far. The house inspection will be sometime next week, I'm excited but a little nervous.

    Just bought a house!

    Thanks and the whole getting married/having kids thing scares the heck out of me. I've been in some bad relationships before, so the whole 'putting my trust in somebody' thing is pretty damaged right now. But IF the right person does come along, well will have to see. But I'm happy being single...

    Just bought a house!

    It's been a few weeks since I've been on here sorry lol. And I've become a home owner!!!! I'm only 23 but it's a check on my dream list. The house is only a 2 bedroom but it will work for now. And I'm single so it'll work for me. I can move my 2 current tanks and set up my remaining tank that I...

    Flooding stories go here!

    I had a hob filter spring a leak at 1:30 am. It was only about 3 gallons of water but the wall behind my tank, which was just painted, got water on it. Also, the carpet was sopping wet. A few days with a large box fan blowing on the carpet+window being open dried the carpet. The wall still has...

    Growing up, I thought these were known as bowls. Not aquariums.

    What Did You do With Your Tank Today?

    Wasn't a good day at work, very very stressed. Came home and did wc on both tanks. I wasn't paying attention and spilled I'm not sure how much water. Other than that, everybody is accounted for. Considering adding some ottos to the 10g betta tank but not sure yet, he's a killer.

    If you had a 10000 Gallon Tank

    You can do the weekly algae scrub then. You should be safe in a shark cage lol.

    Same here but it has a stand too. I have no place to put it though. But for $10, couldn't pass it up. The seals are like new and I could prob make $30 off it.

    Cell phone company frustration.

    Yeah, even though I pay for my part of the bill, I still have my hands tied. Also agree though, still cheaper than having my own plan. Why the heck are these plans and phones so expensive anyway??
