    Bichir, Clown Loaches, and Pictus Catfish?

    well judging by the information between the bichir and the angelfish, it seems it could work. the only problem I find with angelfish though is once they pair off the tank turns into... bickering central. I don't know how much problem that would be in a 100+ gallon tank with all that room though...

    Bichir, Clown Loaches, and Pictus Catfish?

    I'd watch to make sure both parties are getting their food. may even come up with some kind of.. feeding plan heh one group on this side of the tank, one on the other. Aside from clown loaches, what other fish would be alright for this combo? Obviously they have to be big. or... fairly decent...

    Bichir, Clown Loaches, and Pictus Catfish?

    This is purely out of curiosity lol so don't jump the gun. I know Bichirs get to be around a foot long roughly and I know they are very often kept with Clown Loaches (as well as other larger fish but that's the main fish i recognize every time). I know Clowns get just as big as well. What...

    Algae

    kinda looks like Cladophora algae... (maybe hair algea? I've never dealt with any algea before so yeah) judging from the pictures of it on the internet, where it grows,etc. P: but thats just my 2 cents...

    Angle fish

    Angelfish are very sedate fish so you'd be good to go with other sedate, gentle fish. Non-agressive catfish (idk about cories because they're hyper) You'll want calm ones. Loaches Theres some tetras that are decent but no names are coming to mind, you'll have to look. i think diamond tetras...

    Fish help

    I would say no... The leopards can get up to 6" and will eat anything it can fit into it's mouth and even stalk the prey.

    Few Questions. Hols and Danios.

    Just do a large water change before you leave. Fish can go WEEKS before they start to 'starve'. -leaves other questions for other people-

    Driftwood Sap?

    if it is sap, chances are it is also softwood. if this is the case... NO. You should only use hardwoods (oak, maple, ash, elm or hickory) for your aquarium. The sap and pitch in the softwoods can create a syrupy mess in your tank. Softwoods decay a LOT easier than hardwoods as well...

    10 gallon tank mates?

    It all depends on the betta him/herself. Most bettas do not enjoy company while some don't mind it at all, others can even enjoy it. unfortunatly a 10g doesn't leave you with much room. I believe that Bettas are pretty sedate fish, which means you don't want to put any hyperactive fish in with...

    is vinegar safe on acrylic?

    You'll want to use plain distilled white vinegar. I know people use it on power heads as well. You can dilute it with water or just use it straight from the jug.

    First time aquarium owner

    I've been told lately canister filters are the best for larger aquariums. Amazon, ebay, sites like that have them for cheap. Just my 2 cents. :)

    10 Gal Stocking Plan - Tips/Comments?

    That's perfectly fine heh, there are many people out there all with different opinions, and many times you get a lot saying the same thing. I was just giving my opinion on the matter because I'm one of those anal people who stick pretty hard with what I've learned in the past until it is very...

    10 Gal Stocking Plan - Tips/Comments?

    1) Personally I feel your 10g is overstocked. The snail seems fine, but I'd give the cories away or sell them. First off they are very social fish and need a larger group than just 3 and secondly for their activity level a 10g is just WAY too small. In my opinion also, I think the tetras are...

    Does my stocking list seem decent?

    After a long time reading up on fish and such I've narrowed it down quite a bit... a lot actually. I still have a whole stack of papers of all the other fish I originally picked from and I've narrowed down about 20 ideas to 4. How I managed this I have no idea... Depending on what Craigslist...

    New to Aquariums and forum

    Hey guys and gals! I'm making plans to start up my first aquarium this summer! I've been researching fish and plants and everything in between for some time now so even though I don't have the hands-on experience I'm quite knowledgeable. :) Just thought I'd drop in a say hello to all you...
