Hello all, I have a tank with 2 Male Dwarf Gouramis and 4 Serpea Tetras. The tank has two large live plants and plenty of large rocks to hide out under. The two male gouramis are constantly fighting, but they seem pretty healthy so I'm not too worried about them. My question to everyone is: Can...

Just curious if anyone has experience with ADFs... are they fun? can you stick your hand in the tank and play with them, or do they like to be left alone? i read that they can live realllllly long, and get up to...3 inches? well i guess i thought i'd just bring up this topic and have some fun...

I'm going to set up a new tank. I would like a fish with character and interesting behavior. I am quite experienced and would be glad to hear your opinions. Thanks in advance, Spokes1976

Drat, dang, and lots of punctuation. Night before last, I was admiring our Balas. How they've grown, how healthy they look. Skipped morning fish feeding while hurrying to get myself to another appointment. Last evening, one Bala swimming around still looking quite healthy and happy, though quite...

i've seen what is called living rock submersed in a tub which is generally used for an outdoor pond at the LFS. what exactly is this living rock? does it grow plants or what? i just tried searching it on google and all i got was religious web sites and stuff like that

While vacationing at a spring in Florida, I found a wild minnow (or small fish) that was black with gold spots. I would like to find some for sale. Anyone know what it might be? They were slender, about one inch, and swam with the other minnows which might have been "mosquito...

Sorry for the crosspost. I was wondering if anyone had any pictures of tank disasters. Things like cracks in the glass, water all over the floor, etc. Feel free to email me or post links in the groups. Thanks a bunch! -Nitesbane

I purchased a trio of adorable little Otos today. I have heard they can be quite delicate, so I would love any suggestions on how to keep them healthy & happy. They are currently residing in a sparsely planted 50 gal tank with 3 clown loaches, 1 spotted raphael catfish, 4 red wagtail platies & a...

Some time ago there was a request for an identification of a catfish. I can't find the post, but I'm hoping somebody might remember it, or recognize it from the description. It's a catfish which has a body that looks like a banjo from underneath when sucking on to the glass. The area of the body...

Hello, My Eheim 2222 filter is broken! And I need to replace the impeller. I had to go overseas on urgent business for two months and I (repeatedly) told my friends who were housesitting my house to top up the water in the two fish tanks. They only did it for one tank. Grrrr!!!!! When I came...

I have a royal blue discus and I only noticed tonight large holes in his head .... Initially it didn't look like the hole in the head disease I faced a couple of years ago... I thought he had a fight with another of my newly introduced discus. But now I realised the bad pronostic and I am quite...

After 4 weeks, ammonia levels have finally stayed at 0 for a few days now, without doing water changes. Nitrites were at 0, until now -- they're hovering around .25. Is that normal? Should I expect nitrites also to be at 0, and continuing to change the water until that happens? I have found it...

Last night I came home from a long day at work and the only thing on my mind was sitting down in front of my fish tank and relaxing for an hour or two. I walk into the room with the tank and all I hear is this loud electrical whirring noise. I glanced over at the filter and noticed that the...

I have a 35 gallon tank with about 6 or so different types of fish along with 3 neon tetras one of which looks pregnant. What is the proper way to take care of a pregnant fish and how long is gestation? Do I have to move it to a small 10 gallon tank? or will they live staying were they...

Can anyone advise as to the suitability of putting a betta in a tank together with Zebra Danios and Neon Tetras? I'd quite like one but don't want anyone to get killed! Thanks.
