I have two tanks: A 29 gallon, with two angels, a Red-tailed shark, and 7 cories. A 15 gallon, with one angel, 4 black neon tetras, a blue neon, and some lemon tetras. Don't comment on the angel/tank size problem. I already know about that. Last Sunday, I forgot to do the weekly water change...

Hi. Been AFK for a couple months. Anyway, I'm back, and good old Spaz (one of my angels), who I am considering renaming Jack-the-ripper, has struck again. first, let me give you a rundown on Spaz/JTR: He ripped a hole in Fido (male angel, who RECOVERED), and I think he ate most of my neons -...

Hi all. I recently got a half-dozen panda cories for my 29 gallon. Everything was peachy for a few weeks, although I had noticed that they were spending much time hanging out on one of their driftwoods. I put this down to new-habitat-freak-out mode that many fish go into when put in a new...

Hi all. About three months ago, One of my male angels (Spaz) decided one day that he really didn't like my other male. So he beat the second male (Fido) mostly to death. I put Fido in my second aquarium, with some neon tetras, which Spaz had recently taken a taste to and I had moved...

So, Aqadvisor says this works, but I wanted your guyses opinions: If I have a 29 gal aquarium, with a pair o' angels and a red tailed shark, could I add four emerald cories without anyone dying for any reason? Thanks

So, I am looking to add some fish, but my only options are Petco/Petsmart, so I figured that I better have a quarantine tank. Since all my filters run on Aquaclear substrate, which has foam blocks, I figured that I could have a only temporarily filled aquarium, with the filter substrate living...

Hi peeps. I recently went up to the mountains of Virginia, and in a mountain stream, discovered some nice logs that I felt would be nice additions to my tanks. However, I do not know the exact protocol on the safemaking of logs. I know that you should boil/sun them for a few hours, but is...

Hi. I have two tanks with fish living full time in them. One of them used to be a quarantine tank. I really should have a quarantine tank, but I am afraid that I will succumb to the need of more fishtanks, so I am wondering, would I need to recycle the tank if I left it empty between fish...

I have a fifteen gallon tall, with volcanic rock as a substrate. I am wondering if I could put cories in there, without damaging their barbels. I know the internet says soft substrates, but how soft is soft? I also have a 29 with soil substrate, would that work?

I am going on a weeklong vacation to the beach today, and this morning, I noticed a ring of white around my angelfish's tail. Also, he won't eat, which he hasn't done since he nearly died of bullying, and is hiding in the corner. all my water parameters are fine, the tank is cycled, and he has...

I recently got a 15 gallon tall. I have an Aquaclear 20 filter off to the side, and I am using the aqueon filter (modified for sponges) in the tank. My question is whether I should leave the aqueon, or put in the ac.

I live around Hillsboro, NC, and I have only a little idea about the hardness of my water. It is sort of hard. I looked on the internet (for hours and hours and hours:banghead:), and all I get from that is that my "water quality is 74/100 (more is better)" I don't understand what that...

I just got a sprig of bamboo from my lfs, to create some top plant growth, and I was wondering, does bamboo require root tabs, or would liquid fertilizer be OK?:confused: Thanks

I got a pair on neon blue gouramis three days ago at the local petco. The day I brought them home, they were hiding behind the heater and the filter, and refused to eat (I am getting a floating plant soon for better hiding). The second day, the female (heater) ate, and the male (filter)...

I am looking to euthanize one of my tetras, who has a bacterial disease, and has had it for several weeks. Its spine is bent in several places, it isn't eating, all that good stuff. I have been treating it with melafix, and earlier, a protazoan doom juice. It was not fixed, and I am looking...

Hi, I have a 29 gal aquarium with a pair (literally), and a red tailed black shark. My father wants to add a dwarf flame gourami to the mix. since I depend on my Dad for aquarium continuance, I was going to do that. I was wondering if that would be ok, what with the compatibility and...

I recently moved my neon tetra school to a new tank, when they started to get eaten by the local angelfish. however, one of the tetras has developed a ring of white gook around his tail. I have been dosing with a universal protozoan doom juice, called quick Cure, which handled a fungus pretty...

I have issues with algea. I don't really know why it grows like it does, because I only fertilize once a week, but it does. Is there some semi aggressive fish that would happily live in 29 gallons that would eat algae? Please tell me. thanks

I have a 29 gall aquarium with two angels and a RTBS. It also has a sqord plant, el Niño fern, ribbon ferns, and some other random plants which I don't know the names for. It used to have two swords, a banana, octopus plant, and more random plants which I didn't know the names of. I dose it...

Hi. I have a 15 gall tall aquarium, doing a fished cycle. It has been doing this for two weeks, and before that, it was doing a non fished cycle for another two. The ammonia levels are 0, and the nitrite levels are 0. Does anyone know why? Thanks

I just started a fished cycling of my new 15 tall - one angel and 5 neon tetras, one of which looks pretty sick. It will get better. Anywho, I am wondering how many tetras I could safely put in this tank, and if I got larger tetras, would they protect the neons from the angel? Would it help...

Hi. I'm not sure this is where it goes, but I have an issue. Recently, one of my angelfish (Spaz), decided that I was not feeding him enough, so he started eating the neon tetras he had happily lived with for over a year. That was bad, so I removed the remaining tetras (all six of them), and...
