Although one larger fish would be interested, I think I would like to have a few smaller ones. I want something larger than your average tropical but smaller than a Oscar. I might change my mind later but thats what I've been thinking about lately.

Ive had a 55 gal stocked with some tropical fish for a while and I had every intention of stocking that to capacity with tropicals until about a month ago. I recently realized I would much rather stock this tank with cichlids. Cichlids are so much more interesting and colorful than most of the...

I am thinking about turning a 20 high into a sump filter. i was wondering exactly how i would go about doing that and how i could make an overflow box or a cheap place to buy one.

i like the cinder block idea. i'll probably start/make it tomorrow so i can get my tank up asap.

i just got another 55 gallon tank and what i was originally going to put it on, i dont trust anymore. i dont really want to spend a lot of money, so i was curious as to what some cheap options would be.

nvm... i have no clue how the hell i missed him. he must be magic or i'm just dumb...

I bought a couple GBR last week, one died and the other was fine. Before I left work I fed the remaining one some frozen brine shrimp and he ate fine and kept swimming around like any normal fish. After I got home from work, 7 hours later, the was no sign of him. I checked everywhere in the tank...

i picked up two GBR the other day at my lfs. i asked for a breeding pair but believe i got 2 females. how do you sex these? i have a could really crappy pictures but i dont think they'll help you guys figure it out.

i looked under all the possible hiding spots and didnt find any.

i have a 20 tall with some cherry barbs, a dwarf gourami and a couple brilliant rasboras. i've always wanted to set up a cichlid tank, do cichlids fair better in taller tanks, or would 20g be too small? if one is better for cichlids than the other i can move everything over to the long tank and...

the cories did normal cory stuff i.e. cleaning up and just eating food. I made it a point never to use anything with pure copper, the food i feed that tank has copper compounds but all the research i have done said that copper compounds were fine

I have a 20 long that i was trying to raise shrimp in, but the shrimp didn't seem to work out. I have cories and a couple types of snails in there right now(I'm about to get rid of a lot of snails though) I'm going to shy away from shrimp right now but I want to revamp the tank for some new...

Over the past couple months I've been trying to start a colony of rcs. i started with 6, 2 died immediately but the other 4 were fine. I got 10 more a few weeks later. I had a couple losses but everything was fine. I had an ammonia spike the day before I got the second batch, they were in qt so...

unfortunately the molly passed last night. Thanks for all the help, I guess it was just one of those random things that happens. :huh:

I'm using an established filter on the qt.

i usually quarantine my fish. i had to give up that 5 gallon qt which i was gonna use for my new shrimp. The fish is now slightly on its side. so i'm not sure what that means exactly. It will still swim if it needs, so it isnt dead i'm still just unsure of the situation.

good point. ammonia was 0ppm and so was nitrite. nitrate was around 10 ppm. i can't test the water again. i did a 50% water change after moving the other fish to one of my other tanks. There were no signs of aggression. He has only had the fish since Monday.

The other day i bought a dalmatian lyretail molly for my nephew. He as a 10 gallon tank that currently has 1 leopard guppy and another molly of some kind. His water parameters were fine, can't remember what they were exactly but they were perfect. The new molly seemed fine at first but the...

its a plastic hood. i'll go grab a day bulb. how much would a t5 setup cost? i'll probably upgrade whenever i have the spare money. also what wattage would i want and do i need to get this bulb my lfs or can i go to loews or something of that nature?

I'm not 100% sure because I got it secondhand from my lfs but it's flourescent. I'm a newbie to all this lighting stuff so I don't really know what t5 lighting is. I just know that it's some kind of flourescent tube.
