Thanks, I am sure I will do more than lurk now that I have a new wet-pet!

Welcome!

I haven't been that active on the forums since I don't have daily access to my tanks. I moved several years ago to a small apartment, and had brought my 30 and my 55 over to my mom's fish room at my parent's house as I don't have much space here. However, I was needing some aquatic action in...

hahah that is SO CUTE! cool concept too, and great colors! Awesome finnage - lol. I want to get a cowfish or puffer tat, but I might be going for a japanese koi just so I can have something HUGE on my lower back. Heck, I could do both I suppose.

Sword plants do well in my planted 30. I have a sand + gravel substrate and the standard lighting that came with the set up. The plants have been thriving and multipling for the last 3 years. I had trouble with some plants like java fern, but I blame that on not securing the plants to driftwood...

Another bichir lover here- I got two in my 55 and they are wicked fun to watch. I just have senegals and they are always active. The hand feed and have a ton of personality, if you could call it that! One is the bichir version of Homer Simpson (personality/intellect wise) and the other one takes...

Not sure if I should post here or in Marine, but I might as well stick with where I started. The kreisel tank design is incredible! I know it is a huge and imaginative stretch from where I am at now in the hobby (not to mention financially!) - BUT:headbang2: - I was wondering what kind of FW...

No, you could do major water changes every couple of days but as long as the coral is in the water it will leach minerals and the ph will eventually rise again. I would not use coral just because it is such a small amount of water to begin with. If it was in a 30 or even a 20 gallon one piece...

Hello and kudos for keeping the tank up and running!

Mmmkay, I think I am going to do some serious looking into the dwarf cichlid idea. I have experience with africans and convicts, so this might be a good thing. I am going to check out some lfs this saturday and will be on the lookout for sparkling gouramis, apistos and rams. Once I know what is...

No I can't say that I have. I sort of figured ALL cichlids were out due to the snails. Are they known to be nasty to inverts? I know that they are beautiful, but that it really all I know about them!:lipssealedsmilie:

The Sparkling Gourami actually sounds very cool. Hmmm, I am hoping they won't go a'pickin my snails. I should probably just add a couple more to the danio school and call it a full tank. There is always more time and soon to be more room for another upgrade, and on that note I might as well be...

Ask (as in bribe $ :wink:) your LFS if they have a tank you could keep them in until things get cycled. Explain to them your mistake, it is common and if they are kind enough they may do this for you. The other option is to return them until your tank is cycled. Hopefully the LFS will do money...

Okay, here is the deal. I have a 30 planted with a ton of swords, and it is home to five zebra danios, five cories, a rubber lip plec, and two smaller sized apple snails. I considered a firemouth but quickly excluded it due to the snails. I do not want a betta or gourami. Any other options for a...

True, I want a bearded dragon. I will have to wait on that one though, and it will likely be a looong wait.:wall: The next person wants a coffee.

beautiful fish! congrats on the brood:y220e:

skunk botia work wonders for cleaning out snails. They stay small (mine are four years old and just about two inches) and they are a blast to watch. I only have two but they follow my clowns and yoyos about, making a small school. They are the most active fish in my tank. I want to get at least...

Welcome! I love discus, so beautiful. What a killer set up- may I suggest some java fern or moss to cover the driftwood? That would grow beautifully. Either way, sweet tank! Awesome pics too, do you shoot with a canon? They turned out great. :cool-1:

Pseudotropheus socolofi aka Powder Blue? Also Mbuna. But- the tail does not look like p. socolofi...
