Hey all, I'm looking to finally set up my first saltwater tank. I wanted to get thoughts on the biocube. They have 16g ones on sale at the big box nearby. Is this too small to start with?I've been doing freshwater fish for 15 years so I would like to think I can handle a small saltwater but i...

I'm about to start as an aquatics specialist at a big box store. I know freshwater pretty darn well but only the very basics of saltwater. I'm doing my research- some the old fashioned way, but I'm also curious what information experienced hobbyists might want getting out to those who know less...

I'm selling roughly nickel-to-quarter sized koi angelfish with really nice orange coloration and pretty good coverage. $7 each, and 17.50 for priority shipping. PM me for more details. Parents: Offspring:

German blue ram larva, ~80 hours post fertilization @ 80 degrees, 40x magnification. @13 seconds (and beyond) you can see the heart beating; look between the yolk sac (the big yellow oval) and the head. @49 seconds you can see blood flow; watch the space where the yolk sac ends and the body...

I'm looking to get half a pound of brine shrimp eggs for feeding angelfish and GBR fry. I was planning on getting them from brine shrimp direct, about $20 for half a pound of grade A/ guaranteed minimum 82% hatch rate. Anybody have any other recommendations? Brine Shrimp Direct seems pretty...

Thanks to a member generously offering their regulator for a very good price I think I want to try CO2, but I have never done this before. The regulator is an aquatek mini. I'm planning on using paintball CO2 canisters. I know I need a drop checker and some kind of diffuser. Do I need anything...

Does anyone else ever give a little bit of thanksgiving leftovers to fish? Just stuff that is pure cooked meat or vegetable- like a bit of turkey. No mashed potatoes or stuffing or anything like that. Ever since I first started fishkeeping this is a tradition I've kept. My loaches LOVE a little...

Happy Thanksgiving everyone (those who celebrate it, anyway... murica!) What are you thankful for with your fish tanks in particular? Share some good things that are on your mind! I'm thankful that most of my fish pairs are spawning successfully, that none of my heaters have exploded or...

I got some home depot slate tiles yesterday- 12x12 inches. They look like normal slate; they're definitely not the ceramic fakes. Today I noticed some orange rust-looking patches on the rocks. Should I be worried/remove the rocks? Fish seem a little bit lethargic, but that could be chalked up to...

I'm looking at this light for a low-tech 55 gallon planted tank; just some easy low/medium light plants like vals and java fern. Will it work for that? Thoughts? 48" Extendable Aquarium Bright Lunar LED Light Freshwater Marine Fish Tank 120cm | eBay

Mets vs Cubs in the NLCS, Royals vs Jays in the ALCS! Let's talk baseball! and LET'S GO METS!

Long story short, the "rescue" oscar is no longer available. Now I've got a 55 gallon with two Penguin 350 biowheel filters (700gph). Any ideas? I've been thinking about (more) loaches, Discus, a green terror, a gulper catfish... I'm up for practically anything. Any thoughts? Cool stuff I've...

I'm a really big fan of air-driven sponge filters and run them on 4 of my 7 tanks (3 as secondary filtration, and one as the sole filter). I'm curious if there's a good way to determine the flow rate of one. I recently ended up with an old tetra luft pump and am running a sponge filter on my 55...

I can't say if this is for all Petcos or anything, but yesterday I picked up a metal 55 gallon stand and apparently it was on clearance for $17. Outside of crazy craigslist bargains that's as good as it's gonna get for a 55 gallon stand. If you need a stand, go check ASAP!

So, my professor has been promising me a used 50ish gallon tank for a while now and I was planning on using it for a rescue oscar. Well, a week after the $/gallon sale ends, I get the tank and it's a bit of a wreck. No top rim or brace, silicon looks bad along the inside edges, bottom rim is...

A friend of mine recently adopted a betta from a friend who is moving across the country. The person moving claimed the betta was a female. He was planning on trying to add it to his sorority tank- but when we got the fish yesterday we were pretty convinced that this fish is in fact a male. It's...

A while back my favorite LFS called me about some rare loaches. He put some pictures up of his stock on his facebook page and I think this is what he was talking about: It's a bad picture and frankly I have no idea what it is; not even sure if it's the loach he was talking about. But I'm...

So when my fiance and I move into our new apartment in the next few months we'll be setting up a 50 gallon and a 55 gallon. That's about the size where I consider a proper aquarium-dedicated stand a necessity. The 55 in particular will be a display tank so we want something nice looking and...

So, I just got some GORGEOUS angelfish from the user Popparyno. Probably the nicest looking angelfish I've seen outside of the altum tank at Mystic Aquarium. They're the best wedding gift we'll ever get :lol: (Ok, done plugging) Yesterday I noticed that the angels seemed to be gasping at the...

My fiance and I are working on a stock plan for a 55 gallon tank. Current plan is as follows: 1 angelfish 4 platies 5 botia kubotai 6 corydoras 5 kuhli loaches It's a little bottom-heavy so we were looking into some sort of smaller rainbowfish to fill out the middle, as in my experience...

Before: After: You could never tell that the fish were being treated, they all looked fine. Treated the tank itself once, fed soaked pellets a few times, and that's all it took to make that kind of difference. I'm usually very hesitant and cautious with medicating but ever since I first...
