you need black substrate asap

Now you need some new substrate.

While at Meijers I saw a very helpless Black Moor in a tank full of dead plecostomi (sp?). Anyways I felt really bad as he was malnurished and on his way out. I took pity on the little feller and impulsively bought him. Got him home set up a quarentine tank, within a day he developed fin rot...

I don't have a GH/KH test kit. Should I get one? That depends on what your tap levels are. When you go to Preuss they do free water testing, first ask them, as they are very knowledgeable. But I would get a kit of either of them are 0, just to monitor them if you start adding minerals to...

I was wondering if there is any benefit of having a canister filter on a 20 gallon tank? I got the canister for $20 which is an amazing deal, so I can either re-sell it or use it. Any suggestions? Also could you just have a canister filter on a 55 gallon, in case I wanted to upgrade ; )

20 Long. My fish love the daily water changes. I dont think there is anything wrong with only having 2 cories. Yes in the wild they do shoal, but most fish are not brought in from the wild and can adapt to many different conditions (black moor cold water issue for example). From my experience...

So my tank may be a little overstocked but all fish are happy and very active. I also perform daily 25% water changes. Heres the stock: 4 - Harlequin Rasboras 4- Golden Platies 2- Emerald green cories 2- Cacatoo (Dwarf chiclid pair) 1- Baby black moor The moor I saw at Meijers, everything...

How bad is it to have rotting wood or soft wood in your tank?

I found a cool looking peice of wood from a local park. I dont know what type of wood it is and had some rotten spots on it. I chipped away all of the rotten wood, and have since boiled and baked it numerous times. It seems to be a softer wood and should sink with time. When I found it, the...

Why are two of my five rasborras all black with a gold head? They are at least 1/2 year old shouldn't they have filled in with color?

I dont have any ammonia to add any other suggestions?

Im treating my tank for parasites right now so i took out the carbon, that has been in the filter for a few weeks now. I set it in a bucket full of tank water will this keep the bacteria alive? For how long?

Paradise fish/Dwarf chiclids are your best bet.

20 Long filtration is OK, biowheel made fo up to 20 gallons. Its a little over crowded but im getting rid of 2 cories, so the bottom will be free for the rams. I was thinking of getting a sponge filter too, would that help? UPDATE one of the rams is pooping white....I know this is a sign of...

I have been having problems with my Bolivian Rams. They do not eat, are turning dark, and losing weight rapidly. They also sometimes will scratch their gills on the substrate, and are usually breathing very heavily. There are no external signs of illness, which is why im thinking its an...
