Hi - I'm moving to Cincinnati from St. Louis and have fish that need to be reformed as I have no way of moving an established tank at this point. I would love it if someone could take all the fish - it's a 55 gallon tank (I will keep the tank and re-establish once we're settled) - have 8...

I'm thinking of changing out my smooth gravel substrate to sand (haven't decided which kind/color yet, though). How do I go about doing this in an established tank with inhabitants? I don't have a spare tank - do I just work around the fish, or ??? Thanks!

Right now I don't have any sick fish, but I do have a spare 10 gallon tank (it's not running or anything, but I've got everything for it). How do I go about setting it up as a hospital tank for future issues? What do I do about keeping the beneficial bacteria alive if there are usually no fish...

I'm getting some Red Rainbowfish and some Turquoise Rainbowfish. It looks like I can have a total of 7 of them according to Aqua Advisor. Can I mix and match them, or do I need a certain number of each type or sex, or ? Aqua Advisor says I need at least 5, but is that of each type, or total...

I'm tempted to buy the last fish I want for my tank via mail-order. Anyone have experience doing that - good or bad? Should I just buy whatever types my lfs has? Do the fish arrive in good condition? Any websites/vendors to stay away from? TIA!

I'm wanting to add 6-10 Rainbowfish (depending on adult size of the particular variety obviously) and am currently looking at either: Boesman Rainbows OR Praecox Rainbows (aka Dwarf Neon Rainbows) Anyone have info on either variety or suggestions? Tank currently has a blue gourami, 10 Neon...

Hi - I have a 55-gallon tank and have 6 cories and 1 blue and 1 gold gourami (not the dwarf variety), along with 10 neon tetras. What else can I put in the tank that will coexist with the gouramis? Not worried about the tetras - I can put them into a 10-gallon tank if need be. Thanks!

Hi all - yesterday I added my first fish to my cycled tank. Next week I'd like to add more - I currently have: 5 Buenos Aires Tetras 5 Bloodfin Tetras Obviously I'd like some variety in the tank - bottom-feeders and larger fish perhaps - I have a 55-gallon tank that is 30 x 18 x 24. I'm...

Okay - I believe I'm finally done with my fishless cycle (took about a month). Past 2 days have dosed up to 4 ppm with ammonia, then measuring the following day (yesterday morning and this morning), ammonia and nitrites are both zero and this morning nitrates were quite high - like 40+ ppm. I...
