I have two new adult discus fish. I brought them home in a styro box and one was experiencing some distress in box, lying on side, mostly. I acclimated, and put both fish in tank because things...

I just bought a Snakeskin Gourami. I asked some people at my LFS who are very knowledgeable before buying it. While I am acclimating it, I am doing some research. There are conflicts on two issues.

Does the Axolotl work well with the Goldfish?

My Golden Dojo Loach is floating. He is alive, if I stir him he will swim actively around, but he reverts pretty quickly to drifting at the top of the tank. He also seems to have some kind of sores....

I would check to make sure GE I is aquarium safe. I don't think it is. The level of "unsafety" might be so low it would never be a problem, but if you have problems with fish later it would be hard...

I have a Dwarf Gourami that has been doing well and healthy up until recently.

He appears to be a little sunken around the head, but he does not look terrible. He still eats, has always been a...

I would not do anything to your tank with the goal of reducing nitrates any further. Not that 0 is bad, it just isn't worth it if you are down to ten. Your fish are not bothered by 10 ppm Nitrates,...

My best tanks are 10 ppm Nitrates or lower. I'd call that a win and pat myself on the back if I were you.

How do you tell the difference between male and female dojos?

What kind of HOB?

The filter and the substrate were moved yesterday to the new tank, and if I put a fish in there tomorrow, I tend to think (not that I have lab results) that the bacteria that were filtering the 55...

No, I'm with you. Every tank I have is 100% + on the recommended size/volume. I just wasn't sure if anyone "stepped up" Oscars like I have some other fish.

Ugh, I submit. As Marie (Carrie Fisher) said to Sally (Meg Ryan) in When Harry Met Sally, "You're right, you're right, I know you're right."

No Oscar. He needs room to grow that I just can't give...

I love my Golden Dojo. He is hilarious in my Goldfish tanks. Do they like groups? I might have room for one or two more.

I have an aggressive Black Moor and an aggressive Ryukin. Would they work okay together? IOTW, are semi-aggressive Goldfish like semi-aggressive tropicals in that they work better together than if...

Sure looks like an Oscar. Kind of like the Albinos at one of my LFSs.

Why are spiral bulbs dangerous?

Thanks for the reply.

Oscars are kind of legendary, and I'm particularly interested in them because of their behavior. I have the kind of situation where I could raise a fish for a while in one...

Hmmm. How would I know if it's single?

Ha. Really, I had not thought of an Angelfish. I had three, then none, once, and felt like I had killed them, until I overheard at my LFS, "What's wrong with...

And by the way, an inch per month is one CRAZY growth rate. No wonder my LFS has several 10 inchers in its random turn-ins tank.

Thanks. Thing is, I'm looking for a fish to put in this particular tank in my office that has some "interactive" quality to it. Not looking to stock the 75 at this time.

The question really is...

A friend of mine kept an Oscar for about ten years, until its untimely death. He saw my 25 gallon tank in my office today, not yet stocked, and suggested maybe I think about putting a small Oscar in...

I didn't think to mention that the filter and substrate are from a fully-cycled tank, since I was just asking what fish might work well in that size.

Generator!

I have just put a tall 25 in my office, with an Aquaclear 70. I have a heater if I need it. The temp right now is around 68. I am not sure what the fluctuation is, but I don't believe that our...
