I just feel awful that so many of them are dying! I thought about it and the metaes were the ones that were listless and then died and the sterbai swam crazy and then died. It just makes me sad :( Sent from my DROID RAZR HD using MonsterAquariaNetwork App

Two days ago I bought 6 metae cories and 6 sterbai cories to go in a 20 gallon qt tank before transfering them to a 240g discus tank.... between that first night and this morning, I have 4 left!!!!! The water is fine ammonia and nitrites are 0 and i just did a water change but nitrates are never...

I had a betta that tried to eat a snail once.... I don't know about them and the shrimp either.... I will say if you go the three female betta route, make sure to have plenty of plants and caves or hiding spaces. I had three in a 20g once and sometimes it still seemed to small for them with...

I'm contemplating the same thing with a 240g.... and I've narrowed it down to starting with this... 10 Discus, 10 Pearl or Honey Gouramis, 10 GB Rams, 12 Cories, and at least 60 Cardinals. So I guess a suggestion for your question is either one of those peaceful gouramis or some GBRams? Maybe...

I second Manafel's.... ouch!!!!!!!

Applause to you for trying to do your research to help out fellow customers who may not know any better. One thing I read once was that any levels of ammonia in the tank water for a fish, feel like us having soap in our eyes. Maybe if you explain that to your customers and tell them they need to...

I agree with both... stop using the salt and yes you are still cycling (take a look at the sticky on the top of the newbie forum to learn more about it). Besides imo not really doing anything for fish, salt can cause your plants to wilt. The best thing you can do is frequent water changes for a...

Wow, I dont know a thing about discus (except I heard once they are very finicky) but holy cow are they beautiful!!! Okay so if I update my list to this... 10 discus 60 cardinal tetras 6 pearl gouramis 6 blue rams 12 cories 1 pleco That would all work out? I'm going to have to do some...

Trust me, I think flushing it was a nice term for what would have probably happened? I have no idea.... but trust me, that's why we're taking it! Ok so maybe rams aren't the best for my tank, but I would still like Killis, so I did some research and found three small breeds that could get along...

Hey everyone... my husband tried making a top for my 240g long tank out of plexiglass. It worked really well at the beginning, but now a month later, it is bowing and when he tried to fix it, ended up cracking it. What I am looking for is something he can maybe custom drill or cut so that my...

Hey everyone! My 240 gallon is almost done cycling (its been about a month, just waiting for those pesky nitrites to disapear!) and I am playing with stocking ideas. It is a fairly low light tank due to where it is placed but I do have a dozen anubias attached to my driftwood and a lot of fake...

How about a small group of neon tetras or other small tetras? I have had groups that hang out near the top, but they will also school all over as well. Or what about a pair of killifish? Those will definitely hang at the top, and in my opinion, they always look like they are smiling :)

If you had some larger rocks with smoother surfaces for the cory to rest on, that might ease your mind a little, or even some decorations or hiding places for it that don't use the substrate and have a smooth bottom for the cory to rest on. My cories have always been very active and I've had...

Several questions for you...Have you been adding more ammonia to keep it at 4 or did that first dose keep it at 4 this whole time? Or, did you put in more ammonia to make it go past 4ppm and into the 8 range? I do know that having too much ammonia can kill your cycle, and stall it. Has this...

Definitely fill that tank up all the way! You have WAY too many fish in that tank. Give them as much water as possible to swim in or they will most likely keep dying.

Thanks guys! This definitely makes me feel better! I definitely have a liquid test kit, don't worry! I've had a 20g tank for a long time but it's been up and running for so long, that I haven't had to think about cycling and this is my first shot at fishless. Aright, here goes nothing!!!

Hey everyone! My gravel is set, the driftwood is all anchored, filters and heaters are up and running, prime is in.... and I'd love to start cycling my 240g! Sadly I don't have enough light for a planted tank, and my fake plants are not in yet... but I did read on the sticky for cycling that...

Agree with everyone! When my bettas made bubble nests they were always active and happy!

Hi everyone! I am currently working on a 240g fish tank that I was going to keep without live plants because it is my first largescale tank and I wasn't really sure what was needed for live plants. After doing some research though, I did see some plants that are able to attach to driftwood and...

It does float... hahahah so I will be using several paving stones to keep this thing down. Thanks guys!
