    Guy converts indoor pool into aquarium / pond

    Not being able to see it from the side seems like a huge waste to me.

    The Platinum Barramundi

    Ask Neoprodigy. He bought it. I think shipping was like $400, which to me is a bargain considering the cost of the fish...

    NEW FISH : GUESS WHAT IS IN THIS 300 POUND SHIPMENT?

    It's a cool fish, but not $30K cool. I can think of so much more good I can do with that money....

    Planted Tank Pics

    This is my 55 low light and low tech. No Co2. Single bulb. Lots of natural light from the window. Kent fert. The first pic is before I weeded out some of the plants. My angels had no place to move so I had to pull some plants. The second is after I yanked some plants during a water...

    I thought I would share..

    What are you going to do when those Pacus are 2 feet long (and tall?)

    So, I got a couple decent shots of my girls

    I gotta say, I was expecting something entirely different when I saw the thread title!?!?!

    Oh no!Panda corydora looks sick!

    Do not treat the tank with the maracyn. Treat the QT tank or bowl. If you treat the tank it will likely not save the fish and kill other things in the tank... Pandas are really tough. VERY susceptible to water quality changes or poor water...

    algae eaters to keep with my cichlids?

    I have a 110 gallon with peacocks, haps, couple mbuna, couple tangs, couple juliis including a breeding pair of Transcriptus. I have 4 plecos. An L236, L200 (Green Phantom), Panaque Maccus (tiger pleco) and a bristlenose. Everyone of them is doing well.... I put a Gold Nugget in there. He...

    Making water changes a bit more friendly!

    Drain it straight into the toilet. Less chance of the toilet clogging from the crap you vac out of the gravel. I used to do this when a floor drain nor a window were options.

    Visit to Shedd Aquarium In Chicago LOTS of PIX!

    Komodo dragon? As a fish junkie that doesn't care all that much for our scaled friends that don't have gills I'm thinking that the Dragon cage is a waste of space. Less room for tanks. I need to get back to Chicago. Haven't been in about 8 years. I usually take 2 days to really go through...

    Missouri Aquarium Society Annual

    I'm pissed I missed this. I had planned on going but my wife and new born did not cooperate. The baby was due the 11th but didn't come till the 22nd when my wife was induced. I was at the last auction in the winter. Got a couple J. Marleri that after purchase and subsequent breedings I...

    4 green terrors and what else?

    Couple of Texas? Flower Horns are a good idea.

    What other cichlids could i have?

    Go for some Apistos...

    Will this fish color up? Named obliquiden cichlid at Petsmart.

    It is not Astatotilapia Latifasciata or Zebra Obliquidens. No vertical stripes. I have a male breeding with two fems and even the quarter inch long fry have vertical stripes. I would guess that something from another tank found it's way into the Obliquidens tank. And usually the Zebra...

    my new planted aquarium

    Looks great but needs some rockwork and wood to complete the natural look. Sorta looks like an underwater plant nursery right now...

    is it worth getting?

    They're just fish and this is a hobby not a job.

    does anyone have pics of

    Rena all the way. I can't say enough at how pleased I am with them. If it were me I would save my $$$ for a few more weeks and get the Rena. What size tank are we talking and stock list?

    LOOKING for the Best Quality food out there!

    You feed your fish 3 times a day? Do you do daily water changes?

    Crushed Coral - Where to put it?

    I bought 100 pounds of mine from a landscape supply place for $30. The LFS will say that there is a risk of the rocks having pesticides on them. That's a load of crap. The rocks come from quarries not from someone's yard. Just scrub them really good. They will raise your PH...

    New 75G for Beginner - What equipment to buy?

    I can't say enough about the Rena Cannister filter line. I've used Fluvals and Magnums in the past. They suck compared to the Rena line. I don't think you need two filters. Just get the Rena X3 and go with it. Load it with sponge and bio media. No charcoal if you are doing plants. It...
