Thanks, I thought that might have something to do with it. I'll get on that right away

I've got a 260 ltr tank, with 3 angelfish, 6 gouramis, 6 clown loaches, 3 plecos, 2 ramirezis, and a red-tailed shark (Labeo). Oh and 2 ropefish.

Good plan, thanks...okay so I just tested the tap water and I am dealing with about 10 mg/l NO3.

I have had my tank for going on 3 months now, and I have always had an issue with NO3. It usually hovers around 25-50 mg/l and the fish seem to be fine (I cannot for the life of me get it lower than that, I vacuum the tank well once a week, with a 50% water change) I am going to try two...

This afternoon my two Angelfish laid eggs. The female laid them on the side of the filter, the male then passing over them to fertilize them. What on EARTH am I supposed to do with that? After they finished they chased all of the other fish in the tank over to the other side of the tank, so...

Last night around 1:30am I was watching my tank and noticed that my three oldest clown loaches were lying on the gravel on their sides. They were motionless except for their gills, and so naturally I got nervous. I took my net and prodded them a little and they sprung to life. Again they...

We have one! His name is Archaeon. He is in with 2 japanese firebelly salamanders, 1 chinese firebelly, and a spanish ribbed. He minds his own business and is actually a very sweet critter. I wouldn't put him in with fish though, they are meat eaters and will eat any small fish that he can...

So we have gotten a male betta and a female betta and they are in a 5 or so liter tank. The male is doing well, made his little (ever expanding) bubble nest, but the female keeps looking more and more ragged. Is this a sign of breeding? It looks like the male has nipped at the female's fins...

Okay so I don't really know if this is a valid topic, but I think I am losing my mind. I'm pretty easily spooked and dreams are no less scary. So I just woke up from a nightmare about my fish. So my favorite lil fish is a Red-Tailed shark named Peach. And I just had a nightmare about a...

All of our fish have names! 3 Pleco: Spawn, Leviathan, Proteus 15 Zebra Danio: The Hyper Squadron 3 Angelfish: X-Ray, Catscan, Deepfried 1 Labeo: Peach 6 Clown Botia: Pinky, Penny, Pwned (the other 3 havent been named yet) 2 Ropefish: Decala, Scyla 2 Cobalt Gourami: Karin, Blupja 2 Pearl...

I have one in a tank with angelfish and several other species of FW fish. He seems to be doing just fine.

Thanks all! Any suggestions on what I could put in that tank that would go decently with the crays? Or should I just keep it the way it is?

OKay! So through scouring the internet and straining my eyes I have narrowed down that the one kind of thing is a cyclops, I am pretty sure. The other I still have no idea about, though I be thinking it's a nematode. So! In the cray tank I believe I have cyclopes and nematodes. Suggestions...

Yeah...I'm very reluctant to put fish in there. I have P. Clarkii and they are enough to handle alone. I have 2 pearl gouramis that are too big for the cray to truly hurt, but I am not thrilled about switching them to the cray tank. I'd rather just up the maintenance. Here...

Thanks!

I think my fish are too cunning for me... (does that say something about my intellegence? Let's hope not). Because I sit in front of my tank literally all day. I am constantly watching my fish, and working on my laptop. I am vigilant, and they just KNOW when I am not looking...because the...

LOL! Well I am all about keeping them happy! Though I am not sure if it's worth spending 12 euros at the LFS every week for new plants!

So watching my crayfish tank the other day I noticed that the glass was plastered with these little crawly buggy things. At first I thought I was seeing things (my eyesight isn't that great) so I pulled my boyfriend upstairs and showed him. Sure enough I wasn't seeing things. Some looked...

I keep mine, the shells I find are lovely decor. :)
