ok here is the scoop. 30 Gallon tank has been set up now for about four months, Filter was replaced a month ago. I do, do water changes every two or three weeks and at that time i clean the gravel. I use tap water conditioner when i clean, and I also use ammolock. So i have yet to lose a...

Hello, Yes I know that the fiddler isn't suppose to go into a freshwater aquarium and know that they need dry land. However I rigged up a homemade dry land system with a divider and the other side is slightly brackish water. So he will be pretty good for awhile.. Knock on wood.. Yeah...

So three days after this post, my fiddler crab ate my shark. I was amazed at how quickly he went through it. Sad but cruel world.

Hi everybody! I have quite the situation with my red-tailed shark. I have recently (1 month) set up my 55 gal tank, and have transferred my gravel so I could shorten the cycle. My amonnia is almost zero, I have a steady ph of 7.0, I also do 20 percent water changes once a week. I have...

Yeah I have a male molly, it's almost scray how his sail goes up. I just noticed for the first time when I turned on the tank light in the morning. Very Cool

I have recently recieved a 40 gal tank and am currently housing a red-tailed shark, sailfin molly and an angelfish. What else could I place in that wouldn't get gobbled up in the first week? I'd like to make it a school of some sort since the others are all loners. Maybe some lemon tetras or...

Oh yeah- So whats up with the oil slick on top? :duh:

Now I know what you are all thinking "this has to be bad". Is this normal in anyway? Here is where I stand. - Ten gallon tank - Three decent sized fish (molly, angel, shark) Will be in a 40 gal soon, still small - One live plant (don't know the type and growing good) - I am using...

Thanks for the info, I was starting to become a little paranoid. :thm:

I have had my ten gallon tank for about one month now and I am seeing brown spots appearing on the inside of the tank. I have done water changes usually four times a a week, and my ammonia levels have been going down lately. How ever I never bought a p.h. test until today, when I tested the...

I thought the inch rule was something all aquarists lived by? Well, besides having fish that need more room to swim.

Okay- A Couple of you may remember my post two days ago about a ten gallon that was way to overstocked. I dedcided that I couldn't part ways with my angel & sailfin molly; however my red-tail shark I gotta get rid of right? Or atleast should. Anyways I got a GREAT deal on a 30 gallon...

Excellent! Thank you guys very much for the advice. I just got back from Earl May and they have the fish you recommended. So it looks like I won't have a problem getting what I need. How long does it take for a tetra or a dwarf gourami to reach it's max size? They sure looked awefully tiny at...

Oh yeah I forgot one thing, Would it be a good idea to keep what I have until the cycling is complete or slowly swap for the other fish. Example: take the angel back and get 3 tetras, then the following week take back the shark and get three more tetras and then finally get rid of the sailfin...

I was toying with the idea of getting 3 flame tetras, 3 neon tetras, and a dwarf gourami as the center piece. Does this sound like a good match up?

Would getting bottome feeders while in the early stages of cycling be a bad idea? Since they eat alg

:dance2: Thank-you for the advice, It seems like almost everyone new to aquariums makes a mistake with the fish purchase and then later read about how they won't work their tank. I will take your advice and return the angel, the shark will be a littler more difficult since I got him about 3...

I somehow knew the angel and shark were a bad idea, I was under the impression that they wouldn't grow more than another inch or so. Bummer, I liked the angel fish. Unfourtantly I have no money to upgrade my tank to a larger model at the moment, so I have to stay with what I got. What would be...

have been reading the threads to determine if I am on the right track. Here is where I am with my set-up, keep in mind I am a new fish lover and hope to get this right the first time. So, Set-up: I got a ten gallon tank about 1 wek ago, with filter, heater, tap water conditioner, Test...
