Bad thing is he thinks those goldfish are big. And how messy the goldfish and Plecos are I feel bad for them. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Well I haven't posted in here in awhile made some minor changes to the tank and removed some fish to focus on my EBJD. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

It's still a normal cycle. All the quick start is going to do is increase the BB so it will cycle quicker. It's completely normal to experience this if you change your filters all together as so much if your bacteria lives there. In the future change only one cartridge at a time. If changing the...

The BN Plecos are also pooping machines. I love Plecos and had to rehome a couple due to this. Water parameters always checked out fine but the amount if turds was just unreal. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Have you recently changed filter media? Sound almost like a recycling of the tank. As for the ph I am not sure if the gravel would have changed it that much. Driftwood can naturally lower your ph safely. I would keep up with the water changes and look at your buffering capacity. If you have hard...

Well everyone finally got the Texas cichlid to his new home and a fresh me 75% water change Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Ahh well none of my fish are big enough to eat big food yet Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

That's why I chose it. I also read that massivore I think is what it is called is a good one to use but I couldn't find none Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Yea I feed them as treats. This is my daily diet. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

And also hand feeding the night crawlers is a fun way to interact with him Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

I mix blood worms in with my regular feedings for the other fish as I like to feed a variety foods, he gladly eats those. Soon I am going to try and get him on shrimp again as the first attempt did not go so good. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Yea my eel seems like he has not grown since I got him and he gets a night crawler hand fed in the mornings and nights except Mondays I skip a feeding. My cat grew really quick to about 4.5 to 5" really fast and had slowed down a lot. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Bichir bro I don't even remember what your post said. I am thinking of focusing strictly on my favorite fish at the moment and making sure they grow up. That currently is my EBJD, albino channel cat and my tire track eel. My wife is in love with the lake Malawi cichlid so not able to re home...

I know this thread has died but I would like to let you guys know I have started re homing some of my fish. Today I gave a friend with a 220 have my common pleco, my regular jack Dempsey, and the red tail shark. Next to go is the Texas cichlid my spotted rapheals and my pictus cats. Will be...

One BN or other small pleco shouldn't throw it off to bad as long as he has a good bio system and maintains his water. But I am one to talk with a overstocked tank Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Plecos are huge poop machines but very beautiful. I have 3 a common which I advise against I have to rehome mine (they get huge) albino BN and a candy stripe. If you do get a pleco make sure it is a algae eating pleco. I would go with BN or something of the same size. Sent from my iPhone using...

Welcome to the hobby. My advice is go as big as you can afford and your parents will let you. Also like a lot of people myself included don't go crazy on stocking. You will find yourself doing water changes a lot. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Thanks for the non flaming words. And mebbid I see your point. I move out of my apartment march 1st and will immediately be setting up the larger tank. Keeping my current bio media to help the cycle. By April the tank will be cycled. If any of my fish outgrow this tank I will rehome them. I...

Close if you like. I'm a grown man not a kid and keeping fish in clean water and feeding then and providing larger housing as required is not animal abuse. You sit are very immature. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

I bought the tank awhile ago before I changed jobs. I admit was my second tank and I got a little crazy with stocking. Knowing that I would need a larger tank. Buying the larger tank is not an issue at all. My problem is space at this point in time. My fish will be in a larger tank in a few...

I don't expect to be able to keep these fish in the tank for very long. My water chemistry is fine. As stated before. I am very diligent in keeping my tank clean. 6 months is almost accurate as I am waiting to move out of my apartment so I can upgrade the tank size. Sent from my iPhone using...

You sir truly are a moron. You told me I need a 500g tank for my stock and your giving me correct information. Others have posted on here with much information. I am sure my father with over 30 years in the hobby knows more than you do. omg that tank is so over stocked omg it's a sewer and...

If you say so. You have no clue about my maintenance practices filtration feeding habits or anything to do with my tank. 500g tank for my stock would be way over kill. Yes I admit soon I will have to upgrade but I maintain my water quality nicely. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

500 gallon for my stock. Yea no. You would never see my fish in a 500g. I have tested my nitrates with API master test kit and test strips. Let me guess you probably keep 5 guppies in a 125 and think it's fully stocked. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Well I would like to try my hand in breeding. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice
