On another forum I am on a few people have them. Unless your able to have a 400 gallon stock tank within a year, let him go now. They remain wild no matter how much you work with them and many ahve thrashed about so much during feeding that they have shattered there tanks. They are very...

That is the most beautiful thing Ive ever seen

Yours et up is really good for your turtle. Congrats

If money is an object go witha large stock tank from a feed store. They are very durable, have a drain and many ahve lifetime warranttes

Im curious what you find out. I have a tankful of fish and 1 danio and onow one sword have the bent spine thing. Ive had them both a year and by their sizes I bet they were a year old at least so age may be a factor. TB scares me. The only disease that has been in my tank is Hex and...

I have 5 turtles and love them, spend lots every year to properly care for them. My smallest is a hatchling and my largest is a 18 month old 7 inch red belly, they other three are about 4 or 5 inches. I keep fish in their tanks, but knowing they will disappear eventually. The larger one...

I siliconed my suction cups to the tank. I think the pics are decieving the gravel rocks are the size of quarters. Do I still need bigger? Id like to put a few more plants and a piece of driftwood in, but have not as of yet

I have 1 RES and 1 YBS in a 90 gallon aquarium. For filtration I use a fluval 404 I have large river rocks on the bottom-buit not even a complete layer to keep it easy to clean. For now as my turtles are 4 and 3 inches they use a large zoomed floating dock but I will be building an above tank...

Thanks so much. I use the submersible whisper filters for my turtles and upgrading theres soon, so Ill have extras. I do plan on siliconing a piece of acrylic to separate the land and water. I read on another thread someone had green tree frogs in with them, do they do well (If I used a...

My son wants a firebelly toad. I am trying to set up an old 10 gallon for it, but I get conflicting info. Does the land area have to have dirt and moss substrate or can it be gravel? Which is easier? I saw one thread where they put substrate but used screen and bioballs to keep it in...

That is an internal filter, and from experience I have found that one will suck the babys up into the intake causing there death. A sponge filter is a small animal safe sponge with a tube going to it and an air rock in the tube. http://www.americanaquariumproducts.com/SpongeFilter.html...

My endlers start showing color about 4 to 6 weeks and their finnage starts at 6 to 8 weeks

Rams are shy. It seems to take on average 7 to 10 days for them to get comfortable. I bought 2 , males actually, a little more than 3 weeks ago. The more passive one still hides alot but comes out much miuch more now. The other tries to be the fastest to the food over my other fish. The...

Thanks. The tank is a 55 gallon. I hadnt changed annything but when doing water changes again I found my moneywort plants were melting, and not getting eaten after all, I believe that caused the nitrate increase. Everyone else still seems fine, even the german rams dont seem stressed...

I bought 3 zebra loaches a few weeks ago. I actually watched the same 3 for 3 weeks in this little LFS. I am positive its the same three as they put new ones in another tank at my asking and I was there daily. Finally I decided to take these guys home. Quaranteened for about 10 days and...

Im jealous. I have 2 lyretail swords who Ive been expecting to pop for 2 weeks now as the gravid spot haas been growing for atleast 5 weeks. Before I moved them they we showing all signs of ready to birth, now they are growing and eating, I sware I see stretch marks forming on one they are...

Ive been using peat for 3 weeks. It kinda counteracts the coquina in my tank which always raises the ph a point or two. I boiled the peat first and allowed to cool over night. Rinsed in distilled water and use a small amount in my 55. I dont use carbon unless I ahve meds, so I dont know...

I wanted a tank like that for that purpose. This is what Id do: a school of neons or cardinals a school of glo lite tetras school of red eyed tetras 3 to 5 rainbows plenty of live bearers to fill in some space ( personal choice swords or platies, or both) 12 corys (Id go with 6 of...

What do they look like, these black markings they got over night? Some species of silver dollar develop block spots and its completely normal. The first time mine got 2 over night (he's about 4 inches) I was a little worried, but through research I found several articles on this and its...

I have in a 20 gallon 5 zebras, 2 platys and 3 corys. Everyones happy. No ones ever jumped out or picked on each other its a great balance. These fish originally cycled my 55, but have now been in the 20 gallon for 4 months. Why dont you get 6 zebras and 5 cory cats to go with your platys...
