    ick, no improvement on small clown loaches

    What temperature is your tank if you have tetras, loaches and goldfish in it? Raising the temperature is often recommended for treating ich (I do it) but that would pose problems for the goldfish (which shouldn't be mixed with tropicals, anyway).

    Now what? (for those of us who didn't know about "cycling" beforehand) (Long!)

    Re: ? No, it's not. You don't need to clean the filters so often. Once a month is generally fine, and if you have two, it's best to only clean one at a time. You only need to change about 20-25% of your water at a time, and you don't need to take the fish out to do it.

    Help diagnosing problem

    OrionGirl: I am aware of the needs of gregarious and schooling fish. I, however, was not the one who stocked the tank, nor is the tank my own.

    Rules to live by...

    When setting up an aquarium for the first time, go to a pet store and observe the fish. Write down the names of those you like, then go home/to the library/on the internet and research them. Research first, purchase later.

    Building a stand for a 20gal high

    I need to build a stand for a 20 gallon high (because I don't feel like spending $80+ on one). I've done a lot of net searching, but all the sites I find are for making huge stands. These are my bookmarks on the subject, so far: http://fishy.phazer.org/diystand.html...
