Thanks!! that sounds good that is the route i was going. i was wondering where could one purchase the frozen bloodworms?

Im starting to stock my community tank and was thinking what is the best way to feed, since i have a variety of fish who feed differently. I figured it has to be a better way then having a different...

ok i added a lil ammonia to my tank last night to get it to about 2ppm and i just checked my tank my results were ammonia- approx. 1ppm nitrites-0 and nitrates-20ppm. whats going on with my nitrites?

i use an API liquid test kit and i have used this kit since the beginning of the cycle and it has never given me any problems. I recently added about five gallons of water to the tank just due to...

Will do! That would work out good, as i definitely am a fan of some of the platy morphs ive seen. Are platies fish that need to have a group of about six too? thanks for all your help and...

yeah i figured clowns would outgrow the tank eventually, but i figured for the time being they would be ok. but if its a trade off between the loaches and the cories then bye bye loaches cause i love...

yeah its a 40 breeder tank. Man thanks for the advice, good stuff. Yeah i had that same concern about the loach, would clown loaches work? I think i would rather have some black mollies over the...
