Thank you! Are you referring to this: Amazon.com : Hagen Elite Underwater Mini Filter, UL Listed : Aquarium Filters : Pet Supplies I saw this but didn't consider as it was rated for up to 3 gal only. Is there a bigger one than this or is this good enough for your 5.5 gal?

I am looking for a compact internal filter for my daughter's 5 gal tank in which she keeps her pet ADFs (2). The tank is an Aqueon 5.0 kit and the filter it comes with is a joke. I added a Marina S10 HOB to it, but it prevents from the hood being closed and there's large gap in the back. We...

Hey, Thanks for the detailed response. Much appreciated.

Hi, What do you mean by, " 1m facade for swimming"? Just curious.... Thanks

OK all.... Thanks for the quick help. I think I'll hold off on the mollies for now.... Just one final question though... would a single male be alright? I mean would he be too depressed with no other molly in the tank?

Thanks. Would 2 female and 1 male be OK? with a pair setting, I am just worried about the female being constantly harassed by the male.... BTW, my tank is well filtered - a Fluval 206 canister and an Aqueon 30 HOB....

We have a 25 gal (tall) planted tank with cardinal tetras (5), german blue ram pair, rasboras (6) and some peppered cories (5). It's been a while since we added new fish and some old ones (tetras) have died. My wife wants like them black mollies... I am just worried about their well being in...

I have no cats or dogs! You're right, there has to some sane explanation for this. Just beats me!!

I had 6 peppered cories and QTed them in 5 gal tub. After about 4-5 days one of them was missing. I thought may he was hiding somewhere. Today after about 2 wks in QT I put the 5 remaining in the main tank. I looked and looked all over the QT tank. No sign of the 6th guy!!! Not even...

sick honey gourami - help One of 2 honey gouramis in my 25 gal planted sick has fallen ill all of a sudden. He was fine yesterday and this morning I found him lying in the gravel. I immediately out him in a QT. He's swimming OK, but he's 2 whitish spots (pics attached). I have added some...

I'd say 2 wks minimum. Keep up with daily 50% water change, even though you seem to have an old filter in there.... Normally, what I do is replace 50% water dialy 1/2 of it main tank water and 1/2 fresh water. Good luck. BTW, petsmart fish aren't that bad. As discussed many times here and...

Also check out this link: State Laws Governing Private Possession of Exotic Animals I find no mention of angel fish! There is a section on health certification in there. May be you can contact the number in this site and they should help you to set this straight (I hope!). Good luck

How did this inspector decide that the angel fish is an "exotic" pet? Is there a list s/he went by? Also there are regulations, I think, for folks selling exotic animals such as special licensing. In that case does the LFS, where you bought this "exotic" pet, have such license? I doubt. I...

Very good discussion and info indeed. I'll share 2 cents: freeze dried foods, as hpiguy would say, are just dehydrated foods - only water is removed by freezing the foodstuff to very cold temps (eg -40 C which happens to be -40 F as well!) and slowly remove the water under vacuum. So all the...

Yes. that's correct. I am worried adding 10 at the same time would increase the bio load dramatically...... I have been very good (this time!) with these cardinals with proper QT and everything!

I have got 10 cardinals in my 5 gal QT for about 2 wks now. I do not want to add them all to main tank (25 gal moderately planted) at the same time. I would like add in batches. Any advice how many at a time and how space the batches time wise? Thanks.

Well it's been while (about 2 months) since I bought any plants. Last ones were dwarf hair grass, which didn't really take off. I guess I need more lighting. I have only 2x14 watt T5 NO. And it's a 25 gal. My guess the java moss hitchhiked with my java fern, which I bought about 4 months...

Thanks. I googled Java moss and some of the pictures it showed looks like what I have. No idea how it got there!!

Sorry for the bad quality of the picture. This plant just showed up in my tank few wks ago. Just let it grow to see how it comes out. Is this some kind of algae? Thanks.

Thanks for your thoughts. I will take a look at the roots. I dose Excel only once a week and that too 2 mL. And it's a 25 gal tank. May be I will hold off on Excel for a while then...

I have a 25 gal with two 14w NO T5. All plants except the jungle vals are doing well. I have anubias, mayaca, amazon swords, windolev fern, java fern and anacharis... Jungle val has been there for nearly 3 months.. No new growth at all. Just old leaves some which have been yellowing and I...

Just to update the situation, I introduced the timid one in to the main tank about after a week in QT. May be not long enough, but I didn't want the poor guy too stressed and that kind of defeats the purpose of QT! He is happy in the 25 gal tank with many plants. Then after about 3 days, I put...

Good for you! I had a similar thought as convict2161 when I saw your post and I'm sure many others did too!! You did say you studied them online for a while :) Having plants will also help keep ammonia etc in check... Good luck with your tank. I'm sure you'll learn a lot out here as I have...

Are there any bigger fish in there that could have eaten the small ones? Also, have looked outside around the tank? Could have jumped over? Once, I had my canister outflow pointed against the wall and water was bit high close to the rim. One of my inquisitive rasboras went very close, got...

These are Colisa chuna. They are true honey gouramis ans the sunset orange is a color morph.
