I got one a couple of weeks ago at Petco. Like you, I say it and had to have it. Something about cat type fish I like. The fish can be found on the net as Silvertip Shark as well. I've got him in a 55 right now, but I just bought a 125 and will be moving him soon. At Petco, they had a bunch...

I've had two pictus for about 2 months now. They both started out around 3 inches. I had one hiding place in the back of my 55 behind a rock. That's where the two of them went and I would only see them during feeding for about a week. Then all of a sudden, one chased the other out. It's...

Just bought a 125 gallon acrylic at my LFS last week. Tank, hood with fixtures, and stand was $733 out the door. Went with the black wood stand. I've got a black wood canopy on order...should be around $100.

Just a thought. Just saw at bigalsonline.com under resin decorations a "sewer pipe" and remembered your garbage dump thread. Just thought I'd pass it along. Joe

What's the shape of the tank? The general rule is 1 inch of fish for 1 gallon. Less for large ciclids. You can house more fish in a short rectangular tank than in a tall "show tank". A little more accurate rule is to take the length and multiply by the width and devide by 12 (12 sq inch of...

Well, I've seen tanks kept for years with nothing more than an UGF plate and powerhead. No matter what filter you use, you still have to vacuum the gravel and do water changes. So, I guess they are just simple and cheap. HOBs are great for small tanks, cannisters for large tanks. I guess I'm...

There is no UGF on the 55. I will be moving the 330 onto the 125 for at least a month. I was planning on putting all the old gravel on the new, but thanks for tip on the top 1" to go on the very top in the 125. Any thoughts on the UGF for the 125. Sounds like it's split on this forum (as...

I would say the Temp. Were the fish that died acting like unguided missles? 88 is pretty high IMO. I would lower the temp to at least 82. I would rather have Ich a little longer than stress them with too high of a temp. For a long time I kept my tanks at 76 with no salt and had a lot of Ich...

I've been reading post after post and doing search after search to see if my ideas for tank filtration are sound. Here's a little backround. I have a 3 year old 55 gallon in the bedroom with 55 inches of fish in it. It recently housed some rather large Cichlids and now houses a large array...
