So I recently bought a figure-eight and leopard puffer and need to start a pond snail tank. I had an empty 10 gal and my LFS gave me 5 snails to start it up. I saw no progress for 8 days until I saw...

That guys BGK looks pretty cool. (It's mine)

Mine used to eat the Standard Sinking pellets. Just be sure to break up the pellet to 'bite size' pieces. If you had loaches or catfish they will 'suck' on them so breaking them up isn't a...

I've never had my Peacocks breed, but I do know that they do better in groups and like to hang out together.

That's what I use. Try adding Cucumbers every once in a while. I also feed my bottom dwellers live blackworms from my LFS and my pleco eats that up too.

I've had my eels do that as well, sometimes they look impaled to fake plants. My waters around 78.

I thought that too at firsts, but it really doesn't seem like as an attack. I'll try and do more research and I'm thinking I might just move him to be safe.

He just sucks his back like he is on the side of the glass. Few seconds, until ropefish swims away.

There's a huge peice of driftwood in the tank, I used to have slightly high phbut it helps buffer it. The pleco hits the cucumber almost immediately, amd eats a bunch of black worms when I feed...

I do think I do feed him regularly with algae wafers as well as the occasional cucumber. But he also actively eats the black worms I feed them as well. Is this a normal thing? I will try and get it...

I have a couple of tanks and have discussed exchanging the pleco if it becomes aggressive or too big to a LFS, so I do have means of re-homing him.

Ok, I know eels have a slimy skin surface, and have heard of Pleco's sucking on Discus fish, but my pleco starts sucking on my eels back and then the Ropefish starts swimming away slowly. He doesn't...

I thought the same thing. Did you see the episode where they had a 5 gal freshwater and they put a tv frame around it?
They stocked it with an iridescent shark, 2 bala sharks, and 2 albino sharks. ...

This is my favorite bottom dweller.

you won't see them that often, but can get to a good size.

AquaCats, I'll try that thanks, would probably look better than a two by four on top of my tank too.

I've got a 120 gal. Stocking below.
1 Black Ghost Knife
1 senegal bichir
1 African Feather fin
1 zebra, goldon dojo, weather loach
1 common pleco
1 Striped Raphael Catfish
5 Angel Fish

So I found a rope fish at my LFS, instantly bought him (i've been looking for one for forever and the price was GREAT). I had a 3" gap between my HOB filter and light that I was going to buy a plank...

Some LFS will allow an 'exchange' process, where they tank larger fish and then swap out a smaller one. I would start asking around if there is any place you could do this if he isn't a dwarf or...

That sounds like Ich to me. If you could post a picture of the fish with white spots we could accurately make a diagnosis.
Can you explain the "I am treating the tank with 29 degree water" part?
...

there are products out there to lower your ph. But what I would do is also test your tap water (or where ever you are getting your water from) in attempts to find out why its so high.

+1 to a bubblier of some kind. I would use http://www.petco.com/product/110201/Petco-Bucket.aspx
if it were me, I'm always afraid of using buckets because I never know what was in there before.

I like the eels and different fish. They are real shy and timid, once i got mine in the tank it'll bury but it will surface when it feels comfortable. But I do have other fish that are faster and...

I think that list would be overstocked in a 200 gal tank. You seem to be asking the same question and getting the same reply, no mater how you ask of say it; I think it's overstocked and not fair to...

^ guy feels like an idiot...

Could you post a picture of some of your eels. I think I have seen mine get skinny lately, I know they are the last ones to eat so to speak, and was wondering if I could compare the width. I'm...
