Hello! While cleaning the parts of my filter today, I think I discovered why my tank is so dirty. All the filter parts were clogged by white with a little green and black, almost skin like globs of...

Darn it, this is the 2nd time this week i've been wrong about somthing! I've got to get a new aquarium book. Anyways thanks for the advice. I will try java ferns. Were's the best place to get a plant...

That sound you hear is ten thousand gouramis reaching for the heaviest chunk of drift wood in their tank. Gourami power!

Thanks for the bacteria info! I do have a python that I use to vaccum the tank bottom, so I guess I should just keep vaccuming and try to lesson their food a bit? Thank You again!

Hello! I've had my 29 gallon set up for about 6 months. It is extreamly dirty. My filter is fine, none of the fish are sick, and I don't think I have been over feeding them(but just in case i'm going...

Hello everyone! I would like to start keeping live plants in my tank and need some advice. My tank is a 29 gallon with 3 harliquins, 2 platys, and 2 juli cories. What kinds of plants will work for...

Thanks for the replies. I am going to get some more cories soon. I didn't want get to many fish last time I went to the store so my filter could ajust to the bioload. Also thanks for the feeding...

Hello!:22:I have recently gotten 2 juli corys for my 29 gallon to keep the bottom clean and they seem to be doing great, except for one thing. The 2 corys seem to spend a lot of time swimming from...

You should probably chose just one. I don' think your tank is big enough for two territorial fish like that.(personly I recomend the gourami, there great fish).

Unfortunately I don't think its possible. An organism can only reproduce with another organism that shares its genes (the first name in its scientific name) and even then there are a whole lot of...

Welcome back to the hobby! Make sure to put a lot of caves in the tank too. Most of the sharks I've had will take over one cave and either defend it so well that the other fish will learn not to go...

Thanks for the replies. I think your right about it being a carp. I figured it was, but the orange-pink underside through me off a bit. I think you are thinking of the grass carp, but I am a little...

Hello!:22:I don't know if this is the best place to ask this, but I was wondering if any one can help me identifie a wild fish. I like to go boating at a large pond near my house. A couple of days...

Hello!:22:I'm helping a friend build a terrarium for his new red efts. I have the design and everything else down, except what they eat. The last time I built a terrarium was when I was little for a...

Hello!:22:I have two male platys in my 29 gallon tank. The larger male is always chasing the smaller one and the smaller one is now hiding constintly, so I am going to move one of them to my 10...

You should be able to have shrimp and cories together. I've had cories and snails at the same time (started with 2 snails, had 30 three days later) and they were fine. Also I agree with Danifins and...

I agree with RWaltman. Barbs are really cool fish. Not all of them are nippy. cherry barbs, chequered barbs, and(somewon correct me if i'm wrong)golden barbs aren't nippy. Rummy nosed tetras will...

Don't feel bad. People have to know this sort of thing. Currently hundreds of invasive speacies from nile monters and to nutria are destoying Floridas ecosystem and if people like you guys don't tell...

As a Biologist this the best post I have ever seen on this site. And to Shirl don't worry nature will stock your lake AND it is free. Just remember to enjoy florida when we still have it!

The clams might not work. The way clams eat is through filter feeding. They sit under the substate and suck up the food they need through a vaccum appendege. Somtimes they swim up from the bottom and...

Looks great! Can't whait to see the loaches! Keep us posted!

Hello!:22:Unforchenetly the tetras I had in my 29 gallon died of a ich so treated it, did a water change, and got 1 dwarf gourami and a school of 5 white cload minnows. Can a small school of thread...

I would put the guppys in the 10 gallon if you are going to breed them. If you put the guppys in the 10, you could put a small gourami in. Also I agree with Phil raise the number harliquens to 8 and...

Don't put dwarf frogs with fish! If you do you will have to target feed the frogs or the fish will steal there food. Do snails or shrimp instead.

Welcome to AC!!!:22:I agree with the andreahp. If you want alot of differant species I would use a ten gallon not a 5, But if you have to get a 5 gallon there are still plenty of great options. You...
