Hey guys and gals! Anyone know of a good local shop in the boston / southern NH area?? Any experiences with these shops?? I've had two bad experiences with chain stores. Thanks!

Thanks for the welcome! I think I am going to go with a couple snails for an invertebre. I'll read up on the zebras... I heard mystery snails are pretty good too.

Both Penguins going.

I appreciate all the input guys I have gotten a lot out of this thread! To keep you all in the loop I decided to pull the trigger and add the second filter, there seems to be a good current thru out the tank now, does not seem to be too much for my little guys either. After reading everyone's...

Hey guys and gals, So as I was walking thru my local pet store the other day purchasing some food and some aquarium salts from a recent and successful battle with Ich, I found myself picking up what would be my second Marineland Penguin 350 and debating purchasing it to add it to the tank. My...

Thanks!

Thanks! I was thinking of adding some kind of bottom dweller/scavenger. Adding maybe a few more tetras and I really like dwarf gouramis. Trying to be careful with choices, from what I read BH tetras can get nippy if not kept in a decent school size. I have 8 now since I just purchased 2...

Hey everyone! Wanted to introduce myself and show off my tank! This is my first tank, it's a 55 gallon. I have been following threads on here to complete my fishless cycle a few days back. I started this journey off by buying 6 Bleeding Heart Tetras. Any good advice about community fish to...
