HI all.
I need to give away some fish quick before they end up goners. I moved house to disasterous effects. the bacteria in the tank collapsed so i lost a lot of fish. i'm keeping the servivors alive by doing a 60% water change a day but... to top it all off the tank has started leaking and...
cheesy sixties wah wah guitar music.... football game and commercial you say? hmmmmm. was it that commercial where the plumber offers to fix the woman with the ample breast's washing machine with his ample tool? ;)
I'd try him for a time in the 60g. I'm quite suprised he worried your cories. I have 1 bristlenose and 10 cories of varying ages in both my main tanks and neither are up tp 40g, and even though the peco can be a hog at feeding times the cories are'nt effected in the slightest. I just put 2 bits...
whale sharks are migratory. I don't think they'll be happy in there. also i've seen a 1 million gal display, and mentally multiplying that size buy eight there's no way you could keep a whale shark happy in that amount of water. the whale sharks I've seen in the wild would hardly be able to turn...
Never seen anything other than babies come ouyt if my platies when the gave birth. Can't really see anything in the shot you posted but maybe your platie had a parasite that it got rid of?
some bullies are a pain, but some are real phychos that are capable of bullying other fish to death. in which case giving it away is just moving the problem onto other people so the fish can kill elsewhere. i don't think it's fair.
If it's a real killer of a bully rather than just a big pest...
There are many filent filters on the market if you have the budget for them. I have an Eheim Pro II which I bought because it was said to be queit. I have it running in my bedroom and I have no probs with it.
dito.
I have a layer of Ecco complete under the gravel in one of my tanks but I can't tell if it's doing any good as the plants seem fine in both thanks.
By cycle i don't mean the product called Cycle (which as anyone on this site'll tell you there is no scientific proof it has any effect). Cycling is a term used to mature your tank (letting the tank create enough of the right bacteria which is ESSENTIAL for keeping your fish alive). but I would...
Nice piece
I don't think I'd risk fish in it either, and besides, how would you get filtration into it without ruining the easthetic? (all the tubes and wires sticking out etc). But some gravel and an aquatic plant might be nice. all the better if you can get CO2 & light to it.
Need more info
Firstly a few Qs so we can help you:
What kind of fish are they?
How big/old are they?
Do you have a filter?
Is your tank cycled?
When was the last time you changed the water and how much of it was changed?
How long has the tank been up and running for?
Would need...
