    Adding ADFs

    Hi there! :) I have a 5 gal with a single make VT betta. I've wanted to get him a tank mate or two in the upcoming weeks, and I've read that ADF are great companions (also I see that is what most of the post are about in this subject area here on AA). What's a good limit? I'm thinking anywhere...

    Question about "Seeding"

    Yes, I tossed the old pad. I need to use a new one, but I'm wondering if it's a good idea to put it in another filter next to some already cycled pads. And my little betta buddy had popeye. I caught it quickly and he's all better now, and the medicine was E.M. Erythromycin.

    Question about "Seeding"

    Long story short, I have a betta in a 5 gal who got sick, and I had to take out his filter pad because of the carbon in it while I gave him medication. It's one of those little Whisper 5-10 gal filters, and while he was on medicine I put pantie hose over the bottom and used frequent WCs. I...

    Healing Torn Fins

    Hi there! I have some young male guppies, and one is a bully. I'm waiting for my friend to finish setting up her new community tank to come get him. He's torn up his brother's (Desi Arnaz) fins. I've quarantined DA to a little 1 gallon (it's all I have for the time being). He's been there...

    Oscar Type?

    Yes she can move just fine. She swims around her tank and has good space, I can see where the picture makes it look like that though. I was also trying out the "miniature" effect on my new DSLR here so the sides are bunched.

    Peaches The Oscar

    I woke up yesterday morning laughing, it's funny you said this. Her entire tank decor had been moved around, some of the plants floating on top of the water. Her personality that I saw at the pet shop is really shining through now:) I love her, and she's quickly become a wonderful addition to...

    Peaches The Oscar

    Oh goodness o.o those are quite the fish she has there. Peaches is completely fine now, so I'm happy she isn't one of those overly sad about change oscars that can take a couple days to get over it :]

    The pet store had been feeding her the Hikari, so that's what I have:) thank you for that and I'm all over checking the water and making it healthy for the fish ;)

    I got Peaches today! :) She's a little sulky, but I went right away and did research and that is typical? I think she'll be up and at em' in a day or two:) Here's a picture:

    Peaches The Oscar

    I'm fully aware and ready:) I'm one of those strange people that enjoy water changes and tank maintenance a lot, not really sure why :p It is a 44 gallon, and yes, I know they need at least a 55, but she was in one at the pet store and it just wasn't wide enough for her. I went with this, even...

    Oscar Type?

    Oops! Sorry guys! The tank is a 44 gallon, I got confused. I didn't like the 55 because she was in one at the pet store, but it was too narrow for her so I went for this instead. I know it's a little smaller in capacity (I find water changes fun believe it or not), but the shape is much better...

    Peaches The Oscar

    I posted a thread earlier to figure out what type of Oscar this fish is, and I said I'd post one all about her- so here is it:) Peaches is a 3-year-old Lutino Red Oscar that a locally-owned fish store acquired a few days ago when her original owners tank sprung a BIG leak. Yikes! They did the...
