I recently added a couple of Gold Claw Crabs to my 20gal long tank to do some "house cleaning." Unfortunately one of them ran into the wrong end of my blue lobster. He had a leg torn off as well as his small pincher (big claw is still strong). I was wondering, does anyone have information on...

ghost shrimp I have an african cichlid tank with a bala shark and blue lobster. however, cory cats do not fare well with the agressive fish and lobster. would ghost shrimp be a reasonable addition to a 20 gal. long tank or are there other options for "cleaner" fish or bottom feeders? thanks.

i love the rams. they are really pretty fish. the fish with them are cardinal tetra in one tank and bloodfin tetra in the larger tank. i removed the remaining 6 cardinal tetra from the smaller 10g tank and did notice eggs this evening. i believe it must have been spawning behavior. i will...

Recently I have been finding about a fish a day, dead at the bottom of my tank and I know it's the Blue Rams. Why are they doing this? They were perfectly peaceful for about a momth prior to this...suddenly they are killing one fish per night. So far I've lost 3 Cardinals, 1 Cory, and 1 algae...

how often do rams lay eggs? can they go without laying eggs for an extended period of time or are they like mollys who will give birth monthly like clockwork?

Any advice how to breed cardinal tetra? I have a school of 8 right now but would love to breed my own.

Is it true that the females are less colorful? I noticed that a couple I have are red-eyed and the other two are regular white-eyed. They also have plain bodies and no dorsal spike. Let me know.

Hello all. It's been a while since I have had the time to post but now I'm back and I have questions. I now have a 20gal and 10gal. Both are fully stocked and in short order I may have to upgrade again if the Bala shark continues to grow at his current rate. Either way, I have 4 German Blue...

I have a question that is just a matter of taste. I want to have a more diverse color scheme to my tank. Right now, as you can see in my profile, I have 3 powder blue gouramis and 2 gold dust mollys (and 4 clear pristilla tetra) in my 20g long. I was curious as to what else I could add that...

Heh, Ok. So I had my water tested and the nitrate levels were through the roof. so, i added "cycle" and reduced feeding (which is probably the problem from the beginning). thanks for all your hints and helpful insights! problem should be solved within the week! :)

ok..the tank is relatively new, about 2 months. im not sure about the filter changing but that is totally possible. i was also told that it might be something like little particles that cannot be picked up through my filter..ill keep everyone posted on any tests i do this weekend. (finals...

Hey All. 8) I have a question about cloudy water. It is does not seem to affect the fish negatively (yet) so if it's a problem I'd like to nip it early. The water has a white tint to it. At my last water change I also changed the filter inserts (rocks, sponge, and carbon) but the water...

ha. a second tank would be wonderful, Umberle. However, I'm just a poor college student. Could I count on you to supply some of the cash to make it happen? :wink: I these Mollys were purchased at Jack's Aquarium and Pets and were raised in FW. So, I'm not uncomfortable leaving them in...

Hello all. I'm new to this forum and to freshwater fish tanks. I'm an overworked and underpaid (if paid at all) college student and my fish have provided me with endless hours of "staretime" where I can veg and just enjoy watching them swim. It's quite relaxing. Anyway, down to business...
