Thanks for responding - I would definitely do fishless cycling... I can't really imaine doing it with fish... I get way to emotional when my fish die, lol.

I haven't had to cycle a tank in over...

Hi everyone!

I used to post on here constantly and then life got in the way, but I am back with new questions. ;) I used to have a 55 gallon planted community tank but I am moving to a hi-rise...

thanks guys,

the gourami and molly have been together for months now (seriously like 5 months, lol) and I've had no problems.

the fish that WERE in there (that have been removed) were a few...

*BUMP*

please, anyone? I can provide more info. if the name I gave for what is broken is wrong or something....

I have a dwarf powder blue gourami who was unfortunately housed with a bunch of fish who were dumped on me.

I was unable to rehome the unwanted fish for about 2-3 weeks so the gourami had to live...

there are tons of little snails everywhere... trust me I've tried getting them out but I always miss one and then there's 10 more. :( I'm at my breaking point. :(

As some of you know, I had a bunch of fish dumped on me a few months ago (grrrr). I *FINALLY* got them all out today. However, I had to remove ALL of my decorations and plants (living) so get them...

I definitely like that... and I like that he doesn't need a "family", ahah. I love my neon school but it gets so expensive to have to constantly up your #'s! ;)

oh wow the red tail black shark is so striking looking! Does it need a school or is it happy being the only one of its kind?

by the way, how many of these would be overkill on a 55gallon? I have an aquaclear 70 on there already, but my canister filter stopped working so I was thinking about picking up one, or two more...

thank you, thank you. :)

Honestly, I am just sick of my cories dying. It makes me really sad. :(

It's not like they are dying frequently but I just hate it when they do die... and my current cories have had finnage...

can anyone post a link to the aquaclear 70 for sale? It's not coming up with I type "aquaclear 70"... I guess since it's not listed as such! :p

Okay, so as some of you know, I had about 12 fish forced upon me last Thursday... well because of that, two of MY (favorite) fish have now died.

Because of this, I am not total rethinking my...

I came home today and my favorite fish Tubbs was suctioned by the filter (HOB so it's not like she was stuck, but her lips were stuck). I turned the power off and got her out.

Her lips are...

So if I wanted to keep the tiger barb, would I have room for 5 more? With the specs I listed before? I'd really like to keep him, but I don't want to overstock my tank...

would you donate any of the other fish (excluding the mollies, neons, albinos and gourami as they were mine to start with?)


I am thinking about donating the julii as well just because they are...

Okay so as some of you remember from my other post, I had a guy dump several fish into my 55gal on Thursday.


The biggest red flag I was told was the tiger barb that was added because he may...

I have black tahitian moon sand as the substrate in my 55 gal.

I loves the black surface look and I thought sand would be cool so that is why I initially chose it.

My tank has been up and...

The mollies are my favorite actually. :( They've been in my tank since early on and seem to be thriving...


I have read about the slightly brackish water but I have also read they are fine in...

Thank you for all the great advice (as always) everyone.

I guess I will call around today and see if someone will take the lone barb. Luckily the fish all seem to be in great health. So...

Luckily my boyfriend likes the looks of these new fish. I personally am not impressed! I want my diamond tetras darnit!

The one he likes the best is the tiger barb of course. Agh. No idea what...

Okay so if I bump my schools up to 6 each I'd have:
6 albino cories
6 spotted cories
6 zebra danios
6 red eye tetras
3 balloon mollies
1 regular molly
1 powder blue dwarf gourami

Okay so I haven't been posting much because my 55gallon has been incredibly understocked and has been doing great!

Well, tonight I am home and some of my boyfriends friends came over to visit him...

I wondered if this would be considered soliciting but I figured since I'm not selling anything and I'm not even touching the money it would be okay? If not though, like I said please just let me...
