will post pics when I get a chance, I promise. These little guys are already showing much better color than they were just a few hours ago in the store, where they looked straight silver with red...

Im not positive but I think I had read somewhere that copper is dangerous for many fish as well. Happy to hear that you retrieved your animals safe and sound as well.

Went out looking for Java moss and came home with more fish, couldn't help myself. I have been looking at these little guys for 2 weeks now, went with my friend- who kicked it off by buying some...

Not yet :( , I went out today looking for java moss or spawning mops for them but no dice. They are still courting like mad though, so I have hope yet. Got other goodies though, new thread about...

Thank you, and happy Fathers Day!!

Been trying to get pictures, but they move when I approach the tank with the camera. I suppose they aren't ready to start their career as Spawn Stars.

Thanks yall! @sandz- the color is where it at!!
@Lady Hobbs- thank you for that, I didnt figure that actual fish made much more than the equivalent to a few drops of straight...

what about going to a farm feed place or similar, and getting a large dosing syringe, fill it with your BW/water mix and "shooting" it at mid water level closer the tetras? My, aren't fish owners...

I learned the hard way, until I finally figured out that patience prevails :(. Many people here, myself included, are happy to have you here and will always offer helpful knowledge to the best of...

I use frozen bloodworm cubes for my fish, I get a cup and I fill it with tank water (as not to use tap water with chlorine) to thaw them and then dump it in to spread it out, they sink rather rapidly...

Thank you for your candor, it is really appreciated.
I am looking for crushed coral, but might just go with sand. I have a bunch of slate to stack and will find some other stones as well.
My...

My first tank was a 30 something gallon semi hex, nice tank- wish I never gave it away. I still have my 2nd tank which is a 55- agreed, it's a pain to gussy up. I now have my 150g and I am in love...

ok, will look into these options a bit further, there are 2 stores a few towns over that I would trust enough to consult with about african cichlids. The one here in town are chowder heads. The other...

I think it is just because something about the other fish is triggering him to get nippy. If no one is beating him up and he isn't beating them up I would think things are ok. Watch him eat and see...

Since I got my 150 gallon going and moved my fish over to it, I have been running my 55g to keep the cycle going by feeding my pet bacteria a few drops of ammonia every few days. I have upped the pH...

Jungle dolphins, sounds pretty rare to me. Strange place to find a dolphin.

Soak the tail in peppermint mouthwash overnight. then let it dry. you are going to need to split the skin on the underside of the tail to remove the bone and meat, then scrape the inside of the skin...

My first anostomus hated my angelfish, this current one has taken liberty to strip the scales off of a dime sized section of scales from my severum, he was constantly biting at him and chasing him...

BWAHAAAAAHAHAAA, Thats funny. Thx HB!
I'm glad to see that they are apparently happy as well. I may try to find something for them to lay in, then I may use a drilled piece of acrylic to wall off...

Looks as though my pair of Boesemani's are beginning to court. Yesterday and today they have been going to the same spot in my tank, aligning themselves in the same direction, rubbing faces and...

I have a red spot gold severum along with an angel, they get along fine for the most part. The Sev makes an occasional (very short) lunge at the angel just to let him know that he is not in the mood...

I can't see your feeding schedule messing them up that bad. In the wild fish have to put effort into eating, sometimes food is scarce. But I usually feed my fish within a window of a few hours...

Welcome to the new adventure!

you arent going to need the support at all. normal load ratings in the middle of a 12 foot span with 2x8 16" on center are usually between 25 to 50 per sq INCH. Your 55gal has a foot print of about...

I didn't get rid of him tho, He is in the overhead 20 gallon, by himself. I put vinyl window screen over the return pipe to the 150. It was a nightmare trying to catch him I had to make an acrylic...
