Bellatrix the Betta sounds awesome, and would fit her quite well. I vote for that one!

It sounds like things are moving in the right direction.

I can't imagine it would hurt.

Why not give it a head start. It will make you feel like you are doing something and it might get it prepped a little sooner, who knows.

Thanks!

So far, everyone seems ok, and I hope it will stay that way.

I think it must be ick.

I do not see any spots on her, but I noticed spots on the pair of Black Phantom Tetras.

I don't know where it came from.

The molly came into the tank this summer...

My molly is acting a little strange today. I noticed it looked quite energetic. It wasn't really swimming around, but sitting still wiggling a bunch. It almost looks like she is trying to do the...

If the spot on the test card is lighter than the liquid in the test tube, it will be very difficult to see the change in color from the white background (think about when you put on colored glasses...

The cycling is already done!

I started out in June with the 55 gallon I bought and changed water like a mad man for the first month.

There is an increased bioload with the bigger tank and...

I would like to see bigger groups of fewer kinds of fish. As a beginner, I ended up with a lot of things recommended or that caught my eye, I even had a friend leave town and leave her fish with me....

Having never kept fish before, I went out this spring and bought a 55 gallon aquarium thinking I would be set for life.

A week later, I was driving down the street and saw a 90 gallon tank sitting...

I am pretty sure that by the time I made the last post, there was no hope for the pictus. (At least I would like to believe that) The pleco came out of hiding a day later and was showing signs of...

Today I came to check the tank and the pictus had gone back downhill. All signs of ich are gone, but he was sluggishly swimming at the top of the tank.

I did a major water change, and he perked...

It would appear the rescued fish might have been carrying Ich. Two days after I added them, the pictus pims were behaving strangely. The next morning I noticed spots on them. I treated the tank,...

Bad news, today I discovered a dead danio stuck to the filter. The two danios I rescued had a pretty distinct look compared to mine. I can still see one of them, but I can't be sure until I can see...

I got everyone moved over today. I started by emptying half the water from the rescue aquarium and replacing it with water from the 55 gal. I was hoping this would help ready them for the move. I...

Currently in the 55 gal - 6 tiger barbs, 6 zebra danios, two pictus pims (about 5") and a common pleco (about 4").

From the rescue tank I will be moving - 2 zebra danios, 3 rasboras (harlequin?),...

Thanks-

There is no pleco, just the algae eater in the new tank. It just took a minute to identify it. Even if there are aggression issues with him, I should be able to house him more...

I think you nailed it right off with the Chinese Algae Eater. He is about 4 inches long right now. The Pleco in my 55 gal is about 3 inches. I also have two pictus pims between 4 and 5 inches in...

The rescued tank has a little filter hung on the back, the typical kind for an aquarium starter set. I about screamed and made her take the old filter out of the garbage can and give it with me to...

I was planning to change water a couple more times tonight and tomorrow to try to get the level down, being careful not to shake things up too much in the process.


My 55 gallon aquarium is just...

I am new to keeping fish having just started out last month (you can read my detailed intro here: http://www.aquaticcommunity.com/aquariumforum/showthread.php?t=80006 ).

A friend of mine is moving...

Yes Ma'am, everything is in a holding pattern for now. I will get those wafers for the pleco.

I had read all those links of yours before I created the account here, unfortunately not before...

Thanks for your reply,

When my vision of spending $100 dollars on a 29 gallon aquarium turned into the reality of $500 spent on the 55 gal, I stood in the store looking at the master kit, and I...

I was once asked to pet-sit some goldfish in a bowl while a friend went out of town for the weekend. They did not survive.

Last year I met someone who has a small aquarium, provides little to no...
