I just recently got a 90g tank. So far I only have 3 silver dollars, a small pleco and 6 cory cats. I really want to add some SA cichlids to the tank. What South American cichlid do you think would go well with 3 large silver dollars in a 90g tank? Also, would large silver dollars attack or...

I went into my basement and saw that my 75g tank was half empty :(. A connection on my UV sterilizer came undone and my water pump drained half my tank. I wish I didn’t have carpet in my basement :cry:. The part that worries me the most is that about 4 hours before this happened I did a 50%...

I am thinking about getting some discus in the future and I was just wondering, what is the color of discus in the wild? I know they are selectively bred to show different colors but I want to get a school of "natural" looking discus.

My female GBR just laid a ton of eggs!! It was a week and a half ago when I started to notice the female’s tummy getting bigger. I just thought that maybe she was some how eating more food than the rest of my fish. When I was feeding my fish today both my male and female GBRs didn’t join in...

In your opinion, what would be the best substrate for carpet plants like glosso and clover?

I bought some Myriophyllum aquaticum about a week ago. I have started to notice something strange happening. At first the plant looked like this: http://www.plantgeek.net/images/plantpics/parrotsfeatherstand.jpg Now the tips of are starting to look like this...

When I start to inject pressurized Co2 into my tank it will lower my ph greatly. I’m concerned that when I do a 50% water change the ph will swing and harm my fish. The ph of my tap water is 7.8. I plan on bringing the ph down to 6.8-7.0 in my tank. How can I do a water change without causing...

I bought a vampire shrimp 2 days ago. I think they are really cool looking shrimp! Well today I was looking for him and I found him half buried in the gravel vertically. He’s still in the same position now fanning away lol. Is it normal for them to bury themselves?

Here are two pics of my male and female german blue rams :). Sry if the pics are a bit blurry, as I don't really have the best digital camera. Oh and please excuse the two ugly amazon sword leaves in the background lol (they're really old leaves). Male GBR (picking on snail) Female GBR...

Well I finally got my Mil. SMS122 (Plus reg. bubble counter, etc) from aquatic-store.com. I was really happy that I didn’t have to pay any duty, only GST, PST, and a $5 handling fee :D. Anyway about the PH controller (I’m sry for the dumb question btw), can I rinse the electrode under tap water...

Right now I have 12 silver hatchet fish, 8 otos, 6 black phantom tetras, 7 neons, and 12 amano shrimps in my 75g. I want add some more fish but I'm not sure on what type of fish to get. I'm mostly looking for a fish from South America. Anyone got any suggestions on what would look good and go...

My val has grown ridiculously long and I'm going to trim it for the first time. My question is, if I just cut it will it continue to grow normally? Also will the tips round off on it's own or will I have to shape it myself if I don't want a straight cut at the tip?

I woke up today to find two of my female amano shrimps carrying eggs. I also think another one is starting to produce eggs as well. Sorry about the pic being blurry, I couldn't keep my hand steady enough while following the shrimp. The second pic is a bit better. (btw the two pics are of the...

I think one of my black phantom tetras is pregnant! Her tummy seems to get bigger every week. I know it can't be dropsy because she's doing extremely well and her colors are even more vibrant then my other black phantoms. Since she's sort of transparent, it looks like she has eggs in her tummy...

I've had this tank for about 4 months. I would have had it longer but my old 75g cracked on the bottom (worst thing I ever had to deal with). Luckily the big al's that's close to me was gracious enough to give me a new 75g for free (this happened in the beginning of November 2005). Anyway, the...

I was just wondering, do all species of anubias flower?

My neons are pigs. They eat so much that they look they're pregnant x2! Every time I put an algae wafer in for my otos and shrimp, they end up eating that as well as the food I put in for my other fish (which is their food too). They wouldn't be so fat if it wasn't for the wafers. Will my neons...

I’m going to be switching to pressurized co2 and I was wondering if anyone could help me out. I plan on getting (or making) an external reactor. Is the reactor going to completely fill up with water or does it have to be half filled or something? Does water flowing through the reactor have to...

Right now I have 7 neon tetras in my 75gtank and I want to add another species of tetra (emperor, black phantom, rummy-nose, etc…). Would there be any fighting between the two different species or can they live together peacefully? Has anyone had any experience with having two different kinds of...

I've noticed some white fuzzy fungus (I doubt it's algae) growing on the leaves of my Limnophila Aquatica and another plant that looks similar (don't know the name of it). The fungus seems to be only growing on these two plants. I think the reason behind this is the fact that po4 is not present...

I was looking at my 75g planted today and I saw this strange creature sitting on a leaf. At first I thought it was one of my amano shrimps because it was all clear, but on closer inspection I realized that it definitely wasn't a shrimp. I googled aquatic insects and found a pic that looks a lot...

:cry: Today I came home from work to find my neon tetra (that I've had for about a year) with a really bad case of dropsy :cry:. It seems like it just happened over night. During the week he looked perfectly fine and the baby guppy that's in there with him was fine as well. I really liked that...

My 5g has almost been completely over run by green spot algae :(. I do manage to scrap some it off, but there's hard to reach places that I just can't get to. I was wondering if there is a type of algae eater that eats green spot algae. I got amano shrimps in there but they barely take any of...

I’m going to be moving 3 silver dollars, 6 cory cats, and 1 common pleco from a 35g to a 90g and I was wondering what would be the best way to acclimate them. I was maybe thinking I could slowly fill the 35g with water from the 90g. Is that really a good idea? Any help will be greatly appreciated!
