So we placed some cucumber tied to a piece of wood in our 90gal cichlid tank for the two plecos, one common and one gold spot sailfin. So far they haven't touched it but the 3 clown loaches we have love it! That are all over it. They are practically inside the cucumber getting the yummy bits...

Just thought I would share this cool picture. He has never sat there like that before in the middle of the pad but I thought it was a good photo op! Cheers!

Just bought a new Sailfin pleco yesterday and wasn't paying enough attention to ask what type it was. Here is a pic. Hopefully you guys can be helpful! His fin has some damage from other fish at the LFS picking on him. It should heal up just fine, given none of the fish in our tank bug...

We just setup a brackish tank and we have a moray eel and 2 archer fish in it. They are very cool. We weren't sure if they would ever spit to get their prey from about the tank but this morning we put some crickets on the driftwood that sticks out of the water and one started to spit at them...

So, we have a community tank and 1 of our striped danios stopped eating and just got so skinny compared to the others and died. Is there some sort of parasite or something that makes them stop eating? When we put food in it swims around and has plenty of opportunity to eat but doesn't. And...

Hi all, We saw this awesome guy in the LFS for $40 and just had to have him. We thought $40 was cheap and couldn't miss out on the opportunity. The LFS was misinformed and said it was freshwater but after some research we decided to but him in brackish and someday convert to salt water. So...

Hey guys, We just set up our first brackish tank and want to put some live plants for the inhabitants, which is only a moray eel right now. Any ideas of what can live in the salt/brackish water?

So, we had one of our largest cichlids (unknown type, looked like a peacock but all black), die from bloat this morning. Once we found he was sick we put it in the quarantine tank and he didn't last 24 hours. But the rest of the tank is fine. We did a couple water changes to help prevent the...

Just wondering if this could be done? we have a 4" rainbow shark in our community tank and it has grown much faster than the rest of the community fish and seems to be picking on some of them. Is it possible to transport it to our cichlid tank or would they just kill it? Most of our cichlids...

Just added some feeder minnows to our cichlid tank, which also has 3 butis butis crazy fish, so we need to feed them live once in a while. Well, this time around the clown loaches were eating a minnow, same with our pictus cats. We also brought home a new friend, it is a fiddler crab. We...

We have african cichlids in our tank and we are looking for a red one. Not sure what is available but we have blue, yellow, green, purple, orange but haven't found a cool red one. I know sounds funny but thought I would ask for some help. Pics would help too!

So in our community tank we have long blade grass...no idea what it is called. Well some is the tips have turned black and has a fuzzy/stringy algae on it. It looks ugly and is seeming to harm the grass, any ideas what it could be by the pic below? Thanks!

Hey, Just got advice from the LFS and bought this product: We have live plants and loaches and previously the other ich meds we used harmed our plants and ended up being too much for some of our fish who died under going ich treatment. So we were looking for a safe product. What do you...

Here is our 90 gal cichlid tank. The plants grow so fast it is unreal. The big tree looking plant in the middle grew that large in about 1 month. We have added some corkscrew grass and some other really cool grass that will fill in the left side of the tank. We have a 6 bar cichlid, a...

Here is our tank: It sits in the corner as you can see it is a tall hexagon. We tried growing a couple different live plants but the only one that has done well is the grass. And that seems to be spreading across the back of the tank pretty well. We have glow light danios, striped danios...

We just got him last week for our 90gal tank. There are two gar and a RTC in this tank right now, these fish are all quite small at the moment. Anyway, the pleco is only about 2.5" long and he is eating all the algae on the log we have in there and is pooing so much more than any of the...

So we started a new tank for our son in his room and so far we have the following stock. 1 x green terror - 2" (once he gets a little bigger he will move to our 90 gallon) 1 x 6 bar - 2" (same with him, once he grows he can be moved) 3 x Butis Butis crazy fish 1 x Fire Eel - 3" long (also being...

We found this weird little creature in our 8g breeding tank today. It just looked like a leaf at first stuck on the glass then we noticed the little green caterpillar dude inside the leaf/cocoon. It was moving around. Probably about 1cm long and super small, like just bigger than say a...

Well let's just say we got addicted too quickly. We got a 30g hexagon setup 2 months ago. This tank has tetras, corys, catfish, pleco, etc in it. Since we have added a 10g Molly breeding tank. Another 10g tank in our sons room with Pristellas, blood fin tetras, albino longfin BN pleco, laser...

Our Kuhli Loach, Who goes by the name of zing because he typically flys around the tank like crazy! One day we found him and thought he was dead for sure laying on the heater. Well apparently he likes the warmth of the heater because he sits there everyday, most of the day. He doesn't hide...

We started a white cloud minnow breeding tank. We have an 8 gallon fluvial tank, that came as a whole package with the filter, light and CO2 canister/distributor. We want to breed white cloud minnows, we were thinking for our gar to eat but sounds like it might a year until they are ready to...

Hi All, I am new to this site and I have found so much information already on setting up new tanks, what kind of fish to get, all that jazz. We found and bought a used 90 gallon tank online for $60, can't beat that! We cleaned it up using fish safe methods and actually re-caulked the inside...
