Tank #1 - 5 long x 2 wide x 2.5 high Tank #2 - 5 long x 2 wide x 2.5 high Tank #3 - 10 long x 2.5 wide x 3 high Tank #1 is reserved for the occupants of my 44 in the sig Tank #2 is reserved for the occupants of my 55 in the sig Tank #3 will be ALL BICHIRS :lol: I am SO happy about that :!:

Yes, how large is the tank? An adult senegal bichir will require a 55 gallon tank for just one. It's also recommended that you have a tank width that is twice the adult length of the bichir... senegals can hit 12" but they are not as lithe as some of the other elongated species and require...

Currently we have albino, peppered, and bronze cories. The albinos are in my daughter's tank and the peppered and bronze in my son's, but at one time they were all together in a 20 (while I was moving furniture and tanks and such). They all schooled together without any trouble despite the...

Are you fishless cycling?

L-109 on planet catfish says they get to be 6". There is WAY too much contradictory info out there. I've decided that Ugh is either an "uncommon common" (different patterning and colouration due to breeding, local water where he's from, or water where he's living now) or a thresher of some...

Sorry that's not it... those max out at 4-5 inches and he's double that size already. Do you think this is him? Thresher Pleco http://www.planetcatfish.com/catelog/loricari/squalifo/750_1.PHP

Not the rhino pics on planet catfish. I don't know... I guess the species doesn't really matter... I was hoping for an ID so I could determine his needs for tank size when he's a full-grown adult. If it helps... I don't he's a nocturnal pleco because I see him out and about more during the day...

Spotted common aka Hypostomus Punctatus aka Trinidad Pleco. Ugh's dorsal fin is different as is the patterning to his spots (his spots go in bands of darker ones and lighter ones).

A large pond is not self-sustaining. Yes it may get a little rainwater, but without proper drainage nitrates will rise high and you will still end up with very sick or dead fish... the same result that you would get with doing this in a tank. A goldfish could theoretically live in those...

Yeah, he's unusual alright. Now I don't feel so silly for not being able to figure it out myself on Planet Catfish. At first I thought he might be a hypostomus punctatus (Trinidad pleco)but, they really don't have the striped patterning on the tail and the dorsal fin is completely different.

I would think you would have to pull them out weekly to keep any amount of debris from building up underneath them. I know a few individuals who attach power heads to one of the towers to suck the debris out but, no thank you. I had UGF's on my two 10's and on my 20. After I removed them it...

I have a Pentax Optio and love it... do yourself a favour and buy a LARGE memory card to start with. With my pentax on the best picture quality setting, I can store 512 pics on my 1GB compact flash card.

Sorry guys -- didn't know it would do that. http://www.aquariumadvice.com/photopost/uploads/11159/Ugh1.jpg http://www.aquariumadvice.com/photopost/uploads/11159/Ugh2.jpg http://www.aquariumadvice.com/photopost/uploads/11159/Ugh3.jpg http://www.aquariumadvice.com/photopost/uploads/11159/Ugh4.jpg

Night pics are easiest. I can get half decent ones during the day on my 44 but only because it is next to a window and I can get a ton of sunlight with the blinds open. At night, tank lights on, all other lights and especially the t.v. off. Also, do you have a tripod or something you could...

I've been talking about posting pics of this pleco for a long time but, he finally held still long enough out in the open for me to get some pics of him. My brother bought Ugh for my mother as a birthday present a little over a year ago. He was about an inch and a half long. I took all of my...

I seriously hope you are being sarcastic. If not, does everyone else see why calling an aquarium an ecosystem isn't a good idea? Whether it's scientifically correct or not doesn't seem to matter.

With the Rena XPs (1, 2, 3) there is a mininum HEIGHT difference from the bottom of the cannister to the top of the tank. If the distance is too great, the cannister will leak around the power cord at the back of the filter. I have an XP3 on my 55 and I followed their mininum and still ended...

Scientifically, you are right. I just don't like using the term ecosystem with fish-keeping because I have seen time and time again where someone will think they don't need to do diddly squat to maintain that system. My brother bought a vase, a floating plant and a beta and hung it over his...

I really don't like the term "ecosystem" when it comes to fish keeping. It leads too many people to believe that they can just top off the tank because the plants clean up after the fish and the fish clean up after the plants or similar such nonsense. A true ecosystem, IMHO, has drainage of...

There is also a limit on the distance between the top of your tank and the bottom of the filter (if the distance is too great, the XP3 will leak around the power cord). It's printed in the instruction manual. I originally set mine up according to that mininum distance and it still leaked. I...

I had the same problem in my daughter's 10 gallon tank. Asked for advice on a forum and it turned out we were overfeeding the tank. A tiny bit of extra food for a fish turns into a smorgasboard for snails and you end up with thousands of them. Keep scooping them out of the tank... but also...

I keep my male betas in a 10 gallon tank. A lot of people believe that betas aren't very active, just kind of lie there, etc. This isn't so. When we first got our betas they would stay in one tiny corner of the tank because they were used to small spaces (those @#$% cups). It was hilarious...
