Hi, Recently my father has set up a 55 gallon tank. It has been up and running for about a month. So I came home after a few weeks to see his tank which he said was doing fine. I found out his fish have ick so his tank is about to be treated. When I looked at his fish most of them have...

Thank you for all the advice, in the next few weeks I will be visiting the LFS again and seeing what is available out of your suggestions. I'll be happy to see the tank in its glory when time finally comes :).

I have a small sorority in my 10 gal tank and love them that was why I was wondering. That and I know they can definately be aggressive. But I definately would not take a chance with it since it seems to be a pretty bad idea.

I'm sorry if this sounds very unknowledgable but I was wondering if a group of female bettas would work?

From researching the fish listed, I enjoyed the two types or Rams or maybe the rainbowfish depending on what is available around here, I'd have to decide which type I would go with. At this moment I am leaning towards the german blue rams, however if I did that I would have to definitely make...

I've never heard of killifish before, I was thinking of cichlids but I have absolutely no clue about them whatsoever.

I got all short fin for that reason, the long fins can stay with the guppies. Any other fish that can go well in this tank?

I have zebra in my tank right now for cycling. I was hoping to keep zerba danios in that tank, however if that isn't possible I have my set up 35 gallon tank with guppies platys and zebra danios already in it that they can be added to.

What are your thoughts on having danios? I plan on getting a school of 7-9 tiger barbs so that they will stay together since I heard they are more aggressive with fewer fish in the schools.

We got the 33 gallon long tank. That's what I had thought about the redtail sharks but two pet stores have argued with me that I can easily fit one in a 20 or 30 gal.

Hi there, I am purchasing a 20 or 30 gallon tank soon and was wondering if I could have some ideas about stocking options. I am going to be doing a fish in cycle with it as well as having some of it planted to begin with. My questions is what I should stock in the tank with tiger barbs. I am...

Update: Today the ammonia is down to .2 which I'm taking as a good sign that my tank is getting back to normal. The water is also clearing up within two days I've gone from the middle of the tank being super cloudy to being able to see almost 3/4 of the depth of the tank. Hopefully within...

Ok, thank you for your help. I will do another water change tonight and keep an eye on the ammonia levels to hopefully get them to drop. I had never heard of a mini cycle but from what you were saying and I read it sounds indeed very possible. I'll post back with an update soon. Thank you for...

Just did the ammonia test on my tank. It is sitting at 4.0 ppm which seems high if I'm correct.

No right now I don't have an ammonia test, I will run out tomorrow and pick up an ammonia test. I live in the middle of a city with tap water so I can imagine what is in the water that my conditioner may not be catching. Thank you for the link, while I'm out tomorrow I'll have a look around...

No there is no green in it at all, the walls behind the tank are white and the only green is what should be there ie. the few plants that are still alive and the plastic plants.

I did a small gravel vac originally, then have done more every few days to ensure all the gravel is clean. My filter was changed 2 weeks ago. My water readings are: nitrate:40 nitrite:.5 hardness:150 alkalinity:120 ph:6.8 Unfortunately I don't have a UV Sterilizer and I am a student so I have a...

Hi everyone, I have a 35 gal tank with platy's, guppies and danios in my living room. I have had the 35 gal since the beginning of April and had it set up since then. Over the holidays I left for a month to go to my families and had a friend come in to add water and refill automatic feeders...
