    lighting options

    Marineland has a freshwater LED system out right now for single and double bright but the regular led and moon led are on one switch so not programmable by timer yet. In April or so, Marineland is coming out with a new LED with separate power sources that can be timer programmed. You can check...

    Cichlids and Pictus Catfish

    This is what I figured but wanted to ask. The cichlids were inherited and are in a 30 gallon tank. They look cramped in there to me. My own tank is a 55 gallon that has the 3 Pictus, 3 Angelfish. There is a small group of Corys, Diamond Tetras and Long Finned Rosy Barbs with them. All the...

    Cichlids and Pictus Catfish

    The Pictus are all 5-6 inches - almost 3 years old. The Bumblebee and Ahli are the biggest of of the Cichlids at 5 inches each and pretty big around. The Labs and Zebras are 3-3.5 inches

    Cichlids and Pictus Catfish

    I have tried finding some info on if these can be together but not having much luck. Would this work or would the cichlids kill the catfish. Cichlids are mostly full grown - 1 Bumblebee, 2 Red Zebras, 2 Yellow labs, 1 Blue Ahli. 3 full size Pictus Catfish in a 55 gallon tank.

    updating 55 gallon

    What is your stocking list for the 55? Also, I don't really need to add anything more, other than I think the Rosy Barbs and Diamonds would be happier brought back up to 6 or 7 each. I really like the Pictus too much to get rid of them. They are so active, they live up the tank. They are...

    updating 55 gallon

    My 55 gallons needs a little updating. In progress of changing the rock - tired of the black rocks. Have not added any fish in at least a year, but have lost a couple (maybe old age?, not sure why, no disease has been present). Current fish: 3 large Angelfish (almost 2 years old) 3 Pictus...

    inherited tanks with fish

    I just inherited 2 tanks (1 ten gallon and 1 29 gallon w/stands) from my ex-husband who is moving out of state. The 10 was my daughters at his apt. I only have room to setup the 29 gallon, since I already have a 55 gallon of my own. The fish that came with these two tanks are as follows: 2...

    Filter cleaning

    How often to you clean your filter (specifically HOB's)? I am talking about major cleaning, taking it apart, cleaning out the gunk, even cleaning the impellers? I have an Emperor 400 and an Aquaclear 110.

    Silicate testing for brown algae problem?

    I have a Bristlenose and Mr. Clean certainly does not earn his name. So I am going to get a test kit and see what that tells me. If my tap is high in silicates, has anyone used the products like phos-zorb to remove them with success?

    Silicate testing for brown algae problem?

    Is there test kit to test silicates or phosphates in your tap water? My 55 gallon is now a year and a half old, 0 for ammonia and nitrites, never above 10-15 for nitrates, weekly or week and a half water changes. I have a really bad problem with brown algae. Once in a while I get the greenish...

    Angelfish eggs

    I just noticed eggs on the uptake tube of my filter. Two of my Angels are hovering quite closely. This is a first in my tank. The Angels ( 4 of them) were my Mother's Day present to myself this past year. I don't have another tank I can move them too, so I guess it will be let nature decide...

    Baby fish from LFS

    I stopped at my LFS tonight on my way home to get a ADF for my daughter's tank and it came home with two tiny babies. I don't know what they are or remember what type of fish were in the tank with the frog. My daughter saw them and said "oh how cute". So... what do I do with them? Have never...

    55 gal stock suggestions?

    I have Angels, Pictus Cats, Long-finned Rosy Barbs and Diamond Tetras in my 55. The Angels only go nose to nose with each other and do not bother the other fish.

    Stock list refinement for a 55.

    Your Neons would disappear as the angels had them for tasty meals.

    Sexing Rosy Barbs?

    I have 7 and they are all red with black tipped fins. They all started out when I first bought them as a light yellowish color but as they got older and (probably better fed with less stress than the pet store) they have all turned out to be a beautiful red color. Mine are the long finned...
