Bump :) .

My Angels do the same thing to my Farlowella. They leave him alone except when he goes to this one rock on the left side of the tank or this one tall plant in the center. Other than that, they take no notice of him. He's learned to stay on the gravel, glass, or any other object in the tank...

It will probably take a week and no it won't hurt your fish.

I have just the one mini-crab. He's air-breathing as I think most crabs are. He's about the diameter of a quarter. I have an airstone in the tank which he frequents for air as well as many tall plants that go above the water line that he uses to get to the surface sometimes. Also, he will...

I picked up 5 a couple of weeks ago. For the first few days they did nothing but hide in the plant roots. Now, if you sit there long enough, you will see them cruizing. However, they are most active at night. 1 will hide all the time 5 will be a rithing Kuhli ball. Food - any of the sinking...

Check out my sig. for fish list. Any comments, slaps in the face, pats on the back, etc.? Also, here is a link to my tank specs. in case anyone wants to delve deeper. Thanks. http://www.aquariacentral.com/forums/showthread.php?p=376012#post376012

My wife and I were on a road trip from CA to NY. We took a month for our honeymoon and were "camping across America". Hitting a lot of National Parks, Yellowstone, etc. We hit some super bad weather on the 9th with tornados and decided to turn back and head south. We were in Arizona on our...

1/3? I've heard 12 also, but only in the wild - six and under for aquariums. Most Clowns I've seen are 6 or less. The largest one I've ever seen with my own eyes was a huge 10 inches and 5 inches in diameter. It was in a 500g with a 4ft Arowana....and they were by themselves. The Clown was...

That sucks that you had to get rid of your Clowns. I recently had to turn in some fish that I really liked because I couldn't provide them with the proper conditions they will need as they grow. More often that not most of us do our research after we have aquired our fish. It's just human...

Go buy a different dechlorinator/water conditioner at a fish store for aquariums and do a 50% today, tomarrow, and the next. Do not disturb the gravel or the filter. This is about the only thing I can think of. Do not rely on the test kit...obviously your fish are stressed. There is still...

Just wanted to throw this out. You can get a larger tank and all of the hardware cheap oftentimes from people getting out of the hobby. Check your local paper classifieds. Also, join a local fish club. This is often the best way to get great secondhand stuff, well cared for, and really...

Hey congrats.! Setting up a new tank is exciting. Is this your first foray into the hobby? You're smart about the filter media to speed up the cycle. Just some quick advice, if you do get some filter media, get at least one fish. Bacteria with no amonia source will die. Anyway, good luck...

I have three Anglefish in a 125. See my sig. for other tankmates. The largest is about 4 inches tall and the other two are about 3 inches tall. It appears that two have paired off - the larger one and one of the smaller ones. Last night, the larger one was chasing the "oddball" around the...

Fishylisa, sounds like your doing fine. Most of us in the hobby that really care for our fish try to do the best for them. The problem is that life is not ideal. All of us have different situations (money, space, time, etc.) that dictate our setups and how we take care of our charges. You...

My Nate's range from <20 to <40 durning the week. I do my tank maintenance on Saturdays. Sunday nate is below 20; Friday nate's approaching 40. Starting to lightly plant the tank. Have had a couple of plants for a couple of weeks. Hopefully, they will help reduce the nitrate level further...

Fishylisa, despite what others would say, and what might be the "idealist" advice that you most often get from objective parties, I say if the fish appear happy and healthy and you enjoy them, that's what is important. Clown Loaches are slow growing (compared to some other fish). I have two in...

I do everything with my feet. Just kidding. I just rinse really well with hot water and dry with paper towels. No dish towels! The day before I make sure not to get anything on my hands - lotions, gasoline, oil, whatever. If I do, I wait another day. I have some arm length rubber gloves...

My sig. has my current fish load. I'm not real taken with the Tetra's or the Bala Shark. They are going to go. I would also like to get rid of the Platys, but my wife picked them out so they have to stay. Here is a list of constraints: My tank has too many silver(ish) fish in it. I need...

My water params. are as follows: PH 7.0 GH 120 KH 120 Am 0 Nite 0 Nate 30 Temp. 78.5-79.5

I saw a white spot on one of my Angels pectoral fins. Actually one spot on each of the left/right pec. fins. They appear to be of different sizes, but about the size of ich - especially the one on the left. Nobody else has anything. My LFS said that Ciclids can show calcerous deposits on the...
