No corys. I will research them a bit. I am looking for a contrasty or colorful addition. Its looking like my Bolivian will have to fly solo for now! Finding out adding another probably wont work out.

I kinda thought so. Guess I was just hoping. I had another Ram in the tank but I purchased them both at the same time. They did bicker and were territorial but nothing too aggressive. I think it worked out mainly because they were added at the same time. He passed away about a month ago. I have...

29 gallon 11 neons 5 WCM and one Bolivian Ram. Looking to add another single fish? Any Ideas? I am not against another school either but want to keep the community as peaceful as possible? I Really want to add a few more Rams but I am afraid to? I am at a loss for ideas. Help me out.

29 gallon with 11 neons 5 WCM and 1 Bolivian Ram. I would love to add another three Bolivian Rams. Would this work out? Or is it better to just stick with the one?

Thank you. I figured as much but just wanted to be on the safe side. I am quite surprised at how dominant the sunset is behaving. My resesrch said the opposite guess its all individual behavior.

I originally had three Bolivian rams as part of my 29 gallon community tank. They are going on about three years old now. I unfortunately lost one a few weeks back. I wanted to get another ram but decided on a sunset gourami. He has been in the tank for about 2 weeks now and chases both of my...

My Ph is usually about 8.2

Hi Matty Well I personally have three Bolivian Rams. I am not sure of their sex ratio. I kept them alone in my 29 gallon for a while and all they did was hide only coming out to eat. After I added 5 diamond tetras and their personalities just blossomed. They all get along fine. I too wanted...

208 liters or 55 gallons would be probably the minimum size you need for 5 Fancy goldfish. Thats even pushing it a bit. Very heavy filtration is also needed. I know thats not what you wanted to hear. I think water changes right now will be your best bet. I would do a heavy gravel cleaning and...

What size is your tank?

I have a male Black Moor with bad swim bladder issues as well. Peas did not work for him. I started making my own gel food about six months ago. Although he still is an awaked swimmer he has improved greatly. You can find a variety of recipes on line and there are even tutorials available on you...

I love my goldfish as well. I branched out into tropicals here recently with an extra tank I had. Long story short I still favor my Goldfish. Much easier to bond with them in my opinion. I highly recommend you try making your own gel food. It is super easy and much healthier for them.

I am pretty sure he is a juvenile. I went out and picked up a heater tonight and will do as you advised to. No raised scales noted thus far.

1~What type of fish is afflicted? Male Dwarf Gourami...............Going on two weeks of owning him. At first he was very active swimming all around the tank now he just sits or floats in the top right corner of the tank. No physical signs of illness. He barely moves now at all. Seems to be...

A Water changer makes life much easier, with that said as mentioned above if you have a smaller tank It may not be worth it. I have a 55 and a 29 gallon I use mine on both tanks.

The kindness of strangers.

Very classy looking! Great job!

Thanks! My Goldies have been nipping at the roots! This is the main reason I have never done real plants in their tank before. Believe me they eat plenty of a varied diet and plenty of veggies but still nibble! Thank for the compliment! I just hope they live!

I dont know if this will help but, I just purchased 2 medium pieces from petco as well. I boiled them for about four hours changing the water about every 45 min. I then let them soak over night in a bucket. They are now in my 55 and there is still some tannis coming out from them. Its not...

Ok this is my first attempt at drift wood and anubias. I am battling very high nitrate readings in my goldfish tank. As you can see my substrate is not very welcoming for plants. I watched several you tube vids as well as read a few posts on how to do this. I used black string cotton to tie each...

I found your story quite touching Heath, Thank you for sharing it. Welcome back to AA!

Interesting developments, for those that may have been following this thread. A dear fish friend of mine whom I met here on AA got me back to basics. It was suggested I test my tap water again. It has probably been about three months since I have done the last tap test. My ammonia levels use to...

Yup I did clean the tank and filter. Its a bio wheel penguin 200. I didn't touch the bio wheel nor the filter pad but rather left them submerged in tank water. I did rinse out the actual filter and intake arm as well as the propeller. They were all gunked up and it had been about a year since I...

Yea...Kinda strange. I agree, but this tank has been an entire new experience for me so far. First tank with plants although not that many yet and new species of fish as well. Well Fact or Fiction? (I don't know) Talked to a guy at a petsmart who I actually trust........seems to know his stuff...

That has to be one of the coolest things I have seen here on AA. Thank You. So just so I understand an ammonia reading of 0.50 ppm is not toxic? I guess I have always thought anything over 0.25 is considered toxic. How about Nitrate levels? what is the safe zone for those readings? Think I may...
