Just got my first angels and I wuill chewckout the foods you guys listed Thanks. By the way Gunnie, I likeALL your quotes. Semper Fi!

Eheim Eheim Eheim Eheim. Did I mention Eheim's the way to go? Seriously, The eheim is a great filter. One downside to internals is they take up space in the tank reducing the amount of water. The greater the amt of water the better IMO. Eheim is an excellent filter and if I were to add any...

I think RRR (Rusty Ray is RIght) I've seen this behavior from my RAM and she is happy and healthy. And she does spit it out and then takes it in again

You're thinking of stress coat. Stress zyme is bacteria. I heard you can OD but it takes a lot.

Their are many woods not suitable for aquariums. Basically, Any softwood is not. It will rot. Softwood is wood like pine, spruce, etc. Also wood that is starting to deteriorate is no good. Pollution is another concern. If you try some, boil it for at least 15 minutes. If it's too big to fit in a...

My happy tiger barbs I have read in many places ( too numurous to know exactly how many) at least 6 tiger barbs. When I cycled my new tank (55 gal) I had 2 tiger barbs. i still have them 9 months later, They have no fear, They are active swimmers and agrressive towards food but have never...

My black ghost likes... My Black Ghost likes bloodworms best, Brine shrimp second best. He'll even eat freeze dried krill. I feed him 2x a day. I was told 1x is sufficent. I was told that blackworms are the favorite food but none of my LFS have any and as he did well right of the bat with the...

Here’s my 2 cents worth. If it’s stuff you already know forgive me for my redundancy. I would continue the water changes but make sure the temp is correct and that it is neutralized for everything, chlorine, chloramines, metals etc. The water you are adding should cause the least amount of...

I prefer natural decorations; rocks, slate and driftwood. You can use various aquarium glues to make your own designs for caves if you want them permanent. An easy thing to do is find 2 colorful rocks and take a piece of slate and put it over like a roof. another thing that you might like is to...

3 to 11726 How much for 3 to 11726 and can you pm some pics? thanks

That's great!. Thanks for the laugh.

Wow, I had no idea about the painted tetras. It's amazing what you can learn here. Thanks

too much Sounds like way to much food. 4 tablets of algae tablets. Wow. clean your filter. Do a water change and use less food. Do you only feed fish once? Feed 2 x but less. How bigs your pleco? I would only put 1 tab in a day and see how he is. Maybe 1 night feed a little earlier and watch...

Too muh gas exchange Personally the only way I can see too much gas exchange is if you have plants. They need CO2. I think best bang for the buck is the Mag Pro with the bio filter. The bio filter is an awesome piece of equipment for a tank without plants. Read up on it. And making one for a...

For Vinjari Vinjari, I don't know much about the emperor 280 It must be a hob (Hang on the back). There has to be some mechanical filtration ( like a sponge) I think it has a bio filter which is extremely important. Many hobs have an extra slot to add more cartridges if you want. Mechanical and...

fish for HEx Remember long tanks have less surface agitation and poorer gas exchange so make sure your filtration and water movement is good. I am not a computability expert but I do have some ideas. 1st, Why don't you check this site for people with established 35 gal hex and see what they...

Here's what we're doing Thanks for the replies. This is really helpful. Here are answers to your posts and what we’re going to do. Tonajo: He says he wants some "really nice" fish. He mentioned Discus. I figure it’s best to plan for sensitive and have hardy than the other way around...

Hi, I'm helping a friend set up his 35 gal hex. I'm not a newbie but have just enough knowledge to be dangerous (LOL) I am leery of tall tanks because of gas exchange so I wanted to get opinions on my thoughts to set up well and any suggestions. I was going to suggest to him the following...

Hand feeding I feed one side of the tank first for the aggressive eaters then while they are busy I put food right by the more timid feeders. Question for FishCatch22, How do you teach the fish to hand feed. I have heard this before but don't know how to go about it. I have a nice docile...

I found at LFS Hi, I needed 1 too. I was lucky enough to find a new one at my LFS. I wonder how long it was there? I have limited room behind tank and it just fit. I'd suggest stopping in any fish store you see and ask, maybe you'll get lucky. If you find a place that still sells them on the...
