I know there not the most desirable fish, but I have two tinfoil barbs one male one female. Roughly 6" the male is larger maybe 7" Anyways I need to get rid of them because my Bleekeri has gotten too aggressive and is beating up on the male. I live in Branford, CT. Just thought I'd try here...

Hello I wrote in a couple days ago about my serverly ill tiger oscar I found him today at the bottom of the tank barely breathing almost no scales and all of his fins looked torn, he was also very pale. I decided I would be the one to end it. I am not sure what happened though! I thought my...

My tank was cloudy so I decdied to do a very large water change of 80%. Which didn't completly clear up the problem, I had this probelm for about two weeks now, and decided that was the last straw. I believe it was originaly caused by my florecent blub being shot. I went to the store and bought...

I feel as if this wonder doesn't get the praise it deserves! I remember lugging 5 gallon buckets full of water from my kitchen to my den (about a 50 foot walk) and how back breaking the work is. So this ones your you Python! I've owned mine for about two years now and still ask myself how I...

I was considering keeping a small tank with no fish and just coral (expiremental really.) I was wondering however, how often the tank would need to be cleaned? I imagine the live rock / coral give off their own bio load and I was wondering if anyone has expierence with tanks like these and how...

Hello I tried to set up a 65 gallon salt water previously, it worked out quite well, but the cost of maintaining it grew phenominal and I decided to downgrade. I did have some problems along the way though with choosing the right equipment and I want this one to start off and remain virturaly...

I have had my freshwater tank up and running for about two years now, and just recently I have noticed an algae problem begining to arise. There is thick tufts (bush like) on the driftwood as well as green hue's to the rocks (not the gravel.) I'm not sure if this is normal for an etablished...

I was walking through Walgreens today when I stumbled upon a pill reminder measuring Sunday-Saturday. Of couse I had to pick it up and examine it turns out it is perfect to store a weeks worth of food so all feeding takes is a flip of a lid and a dump into the tank. I just though I would let you...
