My reasoning/concerns about adding are a combination of aggression and possibly adding a little more color - but I'm not particular about the color or species at the expense of what I already have. My male peacock (while I do enjoy having him) he can be kind of a ?!&#%! .. If u know what I...

First let me start off by saying thank you for your responses and I do value everyone's opinion especially because I'm the one asking for help in the first place. I read a lot of posts here and do a lot of my own research online to gain knowledge of this hobby and to avoid making mistakes at...

I looked up tank mates for my peacocks and I think I know what I want. I currently have a trio of either sunshine peacocks or German red peacocks(1male-2female) Through my research I think I may go with: A trio of Placidochromis Electra or common name-Deep Water Hap? Here's a pic of them...

So after discovering 2 babies survived in my peacock tank, I was considering relocating them to a 1.5gallon or purchasing yet another 5g tank. Instead we ended up making a DIY fry trap that floats at the top of the tank. We were able to catch the 2 babies and put them in it during our water...

Sounds good, And yeah mine was 55 dollar and with tax was like 63 or something close to that I think the $ per gallon sale is going on for another week or 2. Other stores that sell the full set have good deals too like PetSmart but if ur not in a hurry to set it all up the tank alone is a...

I took advantage of the petco sale too and got the same 55g. I haven't set it up yet since I still need a stand but I didn't want to pass up the deal. I was a little concerned with how thin the glass is too so hopefully you only have good things to report lol. Did you do any extra sealing on...

What are you feeding him? Or are you just relying on him cleaning the tank for his food? I feed my pleco algae wafers and zucchini a few times a week. Also, feeding him at night rather than during the day is important since they are nocturnal for the most part. - Someone feel free to correct...

Lol thanks I'm just going to check out the stocking calculator thing on here & go from there while I do more research - I forgot about the stocking calc available here

Anyone? :/

Sounds good :) thank you so much!

Yea that's a good idea thank you :) One more question: I know this topic is very debatable, but for specifically betas- do I need to use aquarium salt? I know it's beneficial for quarantining sick fish and for whatever other specific issues that happen w/ fish, but just as a regular water...

Just use something like an eye dropper for it? The bottle I have just has a screw cap and then it's open for pouring

Should I use Prime to treat the water in my Betta's 5g tank vs Jungle Bowl Buddies water conditioner fizz tabs? After joining this forum I've discovered the wonderful world of Prime and have started using it in my 29g and 20g tanks during water changes. For betas though, what is the best way...

Sounds good thanks :)

Thanks BB, I'll buy 2 new ones that are 150w each instead of trying to use the other ones. I find that trying to save money on these things only makes things more complicated in the end so I will take your advice with 2 heaters 150w each. Thanks for your help :) And thanks to everyone that...

Yeah I could probably get another tank for the fry. You think a 5g would be good or something else? I guess the only thing I'm concerned about with getting another tank or even setting up that 1.5g tank is that will make it 4 tanks running & I'm also setting up my new 55g so technically that...

The 1.5g is too small for my beta - IMO That's where I used to have him & ever since he moved to the 5g, he blows bubble nests and gets to swim all over and he's super happy. I would really prefer not move him back into that tiny thing if I don't have to, it would make me sad & I feel like he...

I was watching my tank yesterday and just checking on everyone and making sure life was good, and what do I see??... A baby cichlid hiding in an artificial plant in the front left corner of my tank!! :) I look around some more in excitement and then what do I see?!... Another baby cichlid...

Hey BBradbury, So I checked out the Hagen Aquaclean 50 and from what I read about it, I really liked it! I like that it has a natural & silent waterfall, it sounds like the assembly is easy, it's energy efficient, performance reviews were consistent and it's affordable- sounds too good to be...

Thanks for all the suggestions so far :) I had read from a lot of forums here about Rena xp3 and Fluval filters - my concern is when doing my own web researching on them, I read a lot if reviews saying the parts are always breaking and there were tons of reviews saying they had big leaking...

I recently purchased a 55g long glass tank for the purpose of upgrading/replacing my current 29g. I'm taking my time setting up the new 55g so I get it the right the first time and have it setup w/ the correct equipment. My current 29g: Sand substrate (and I want to stay w/ sand) Aqua-Tech hob...
