Thanks! I'll wait until last minute to move him to the 20g and set the 55g back up with new sand and canister filter. Shouldn't take more than a week to get the tanks parameters safe since my 20g is established and I can take some bb from it

I recently purchased a 55g tanks that came with a few fish. I have found new homes for all of them except a bristlenose pleco that is full grown male 6" that I would like to keep I have 2 Senegal bichirs in my 20g long tank right now for their grow out tank that I will be transferring to the...

Dang well glad I asked the lfs told me it would be fine but they never give me good info. my bichirs and ropefish are really calm and even leave my bristlenose alone even though they could easily eat it. but What size tank do you have him in? I have a spare 10, 20, and soon to be 55g I would...

Would it be okay with out the peacock I might give it to my neighbor and get an african butterfly and the elephant nose my lfs will have both in next week

I have a 55g that I want to add an elephant nose to, it has 2 senegal bichirs 6 and 8", a ropefish 12", bristlenose pleco 2", and a dragon blood peacock 5". The only thing im worried about would be the peacock and the elephant nose. The peacock is not aggressive but wanted to see if anyone has...

my parameters are 0 nitrate 0 nitrite <.02 ammonia and PH is at 7.8 lighting schedule is from noon to 10pm and the lights are 8,000k aquareon lights that come with the hood also Im not sure if the white mold looking stuff on the filters is just dead BB or something to worry about it is also on...

also just noticed that there is white fungus stuff growing on one of my filters so I cleaned the the filter media where the fungus stuff was with hot hot water and made sure it was all off (the filter media on my other filter didnt have any so I left those) and then changed out the filters and...

yea I'm doing daily water changes and suck up as much of it as I can when I do. I just dont understand how it just appeared since nothing new has been added to the tank in over 2 months and the tank has been established without any problems for about a year and a half now

here is a video its to hard to get a good picture of it and the video does more justice anyway so you can see how it moves and everything. hopefully its not something bad and I can get rid of it easily. and ive been checking the nitrate, nitrite and ammonia levels every day and they are perfect...

I will try and get a better picture right now ive been doing water changes every day and scrubbing it off but it comes right back. It kind of is like a spider web and moves around from the current in the water. But i will take some pictures quick with a better camera and even try and post a video

This weird white/clear stuff started appearing on the glass recently and on one of my plastic plants and im not sure what it could be. The tank has been estsblished for over a year and nothing new has been added for a couple months. Nitrate and nitrite is both at zero, ammonia is <0.02 ppm and...

Okay thanks, for the intake of the filter would putting a filter cartridge over it work?

My yellow lab just released her fry today (11 total) and this is a first for me so I want to make sure I am taking proper care of them. I have the mother in my 20g qt tank and want to keep her in there for a week before putting her back in my 55g so she can not stress, but my problem is I only...

True which is why I like males more, ive also had 3 females and the biggest was 7" and about 5 year old but they do live to be over 50 so that is probably why

African side neck turtles are really easy to care for and do not get big like RES so they dont need a huge tank, I have mine in a 40g breeder tank and is perfect size for him and he is full grown at 6". They have a lot of personality and mine will crawl on my girlfriends stomach and fall asleep...

Yea I was going to use mine as feeder fish for my bichirs but decided i would try CL first and see if i could make a couple bucks and sold them 30 minutes after I posted but also if anyone in the reno area is looking for tropical fish or cichilds let me know I can get them for you really cheap...

I had some ghost catfish, neon tetras, mollies, guppies, loaches and a couple cory catfish but I ended up putting them on CL and selling them really quick

whenever you get a bigger tank let me know and I can get you some cichlids for free I just gave away 8 this week that were all 1" mixed mbuna

okay thanks ill make sure to wait. I did a little more research last night and I found that if she feels safe she will release the fry to eat quick then scoop them back up, so should I try to feed her every couple days or every day

okay thanks! a lfs up the road has newly hatched brine shrimp so ill get some, how long does it normally take for her to release the fry. I just noticed her mouth getting bigger yesterday

do any of you have african cichlids? me and my neighbor trade cichlids a lot and also right now im trying to sell my 17 tropical fish in my little 20g cheap so I can put one of my yellow labs thats holding in there

I just found out this morning that my yellow lab is holding. this is a first for me so I was wondering what I can do to help her out and keep the fry alive. I have a spare 20g that I will be placing her in tonight but is there anything else I should do? and also what should I feed the fry I have...

I would definitely be interested in that but I work weekends so I wouldn't be able to make it. if you ever have a meeting during the week let me know and ill be sure to go ive been wanting to start a SW tank for a while and It would help getting some tips from people around here

I get all my fish for free at my work, I get about 10 little cichlids each week but lately I've been getting fish for my 20g tropical tank I just got 4 ghost catfish, a neon tetra, and 5 guppies today

Just was wondering if anyone else has successfully kept an african side neck turtle with fish. I had a small feeder fish that he didnt eat and kept it in a while but it got to big and I gave it away. and then I had nowhere to put two dwarf blue gouramis about 3" and since he couldnt catch them...
