Hello guys! I hope all is well with you and your tanks. I woke up this morning and to my delight there were a bunch of newly hatched fry in my 20L apisto tank!! I went and grabbed a divider and separated the male and my clown pleco (the only other two inhabitants besides mommy) and have left the...

Hello all, I hope all is well with you and your tanks! I am having a problem in my fiance's office tank. Unfortunately I did not quarantine some new black skirts I got from a LFS, and they have infected the tank with ich. I moved his GBR to a quarantine tank of mine, and the ram seems to be...

Before I add to my ever growing collection of fish tanks and get my 125g for my studio, and the 20H for my fiance's office I thought I'd show you guys what I am currently running right now. Now before any of you start preaching to me about how badly my tanks are overstocked just know that all my...

Hello all, I hope all is well with you and your tanks. I was wondering if anyone who was experienced with Rotkeil Severum could take a look at my juveniles and tell me if they can tell any hints at the gender. I know it can be really hard to sex juveniles so if it is still too early no worries...

I am inheriting a 125 gallon Saltwater setup complete with two large Engineer Gobies and one large Puffer, and I am not quite ready for the care level needed for this tank. I found a good reliable home for the puffer but they don't have room for the Gobies as well without overstocking their...

Hello all, I was wondering if I could pick your brains for a bit. I introduced two new Mopani pieces into my 46 gal tank the other day after boiling both, and of course my water is still looking tannic which I expected, but there is a layer of clear slime on the larger piece. I took it out and...

Hello all! I am getting an 8 inch Bala Shark today from a customer in my store who is unfortunately going to jail soon (from the sound of his urgency), and has no one to look after his tank. I have a well established 75 gallon tank that I can keep him in temporarily, but we all know that a Bala...

Hello everyone! I hope you and your tanks are doing well. First off let me say that I am very happy with my Rena and I am by no means bashing it as I have two of them and they both do an excellent job. The only thing I ran into (and this is probably just my dumb luck) is that during a water...

Hello all, I hope you and your tanks are doing well! I just recently bought a pair of Rotkeil Severum as juveniles to grow up as the centerpiece fish for my 75g. Right now one is about an inch and the other is about an inch and a half. From what I've read the males are larger and color up more...

Hello all, I hope you are all doing well! I am running into issues with my 46 Gal Rimless cube and the clips that came with the glass lid I have for it. I bought a whole setup that included the stand, aquarium and hood but after about 3 water changes the crappy plastic clips that it came with...

I am super excited to finally be done with the upfront cost of getting these two tanks set up, stocked and decorated and whatnot!!! Now it'll just be buying food, spring water and medicine as needed. Anyway I promise I will post pics as soon as I finish treating one of my Goyder River Rainbows...

Hello all! It's been a while since my last post. Since then I have set up and cycled a 75 gallon tank, and moved the Serpae Tetras that I had in my 46 Gallon Cube that were nipping my Angelfish. They are doing well in there about a week after moving them over and my poor Angel is already...

Hello all! Would one Firemouth Cichlid be ok in a 46 gallon cube set up with a school of Serpae Tetra and 5 Red Rainbows? I have a Rena Filstar XP2 so plenty of filtration, and lots of plant cover, but I am having an issue with my Serpaes nipping my Angelfish's fins with my current stock, and so...

Hello all, thank you for always being a good place to turn to for advice. I currently have a 46 gallon cube set up with 15 serpae tetra, 1 angelfish, 2 Red Rainbows, 2 GBR, and 5 Sterbai Cories, and a (currently) empty 10 gallon tank. I was having an issue of my serpaes nipping my angel and want...

I just bought and set up a 46 gallon cube about 3 weeks ago. My fishless cycle finished and I added a pair of German Blue Rams who are doing well for about a week now, so I am looking for a few stocking ideas that surround around a couple fish I have already. I have 5 Serpae Tetras in a 10...

My fiance and I are looking to get a good community tank going because our aquatic turtles are just starting to get a little big for their 75 gallon tank, so we are upgrading them to big pond tubs that are 100 gallons, with more depth for our them to swim down. Anyway, back to fish! Once we...

Hello all, my name is Robert. I did a member introduction but other than that I am brand new to the site, and pretty much brand new to fish ownership. Right now I have a 10 gallon with 3 Serpae Tetras going through my first cycle (so far, so good other than one sudden drop in my ph which I have...

Hello, my name is Robert Ryan, I am a freelance artist, and I recently got hired at a local pet store as well. I went in with experience with different mammals but no experience with birds, reptiles or fish. I have learned insane amounts of information over the past month of working there, but I...
