Oh it was a GREAT movie for sure... just the only analogy I could brew up at that time in the morning while sleepily working. :22:

Nitrite levels declined substantially! Keep an eye on them, and they should level out within the next day or two. Your nitrates are exactly where they wanted to be.

I just caught this thread and...

Not really a coldwater specialist here, but i'll take a shot.

I do know the bio-load of a goldfish is insane, their one of if not the messiest fish out there. Personally I view them as the Cows of...

Its the truth.... one minute you think their gone. The next you turn the light on and its SNAILS EVERYWHERE!

Even with constant "pruning" of the snails their still going to reproduce like rabbits...

Welcome to the AC :22:

In response to the boiling the sand... this is some peoples personal preferance. I personally have never gone as far as to boil it myself. But I do take a 5 gallon bucket fill it half full of sand...

Also take into effect the fact that you must pump water up to your tank. So for every 1ft of elevation you generally lose a decent chunk of the rated GPH.

Also the general rule of thumb for most...

Well with my experience in keeping corys, and all the reading I have done about them... They prefer to shoal with the same species, and will shy away from other species. Perhaps if introduced as...

A dozen of each? My god I would hate to see that tank if a couple pairs started to breed at the same time... it would be worse then Fight Club!

I'd suggest a pair of each because they both get...

Well I am a welcomed customer at my beloved little LFS I frequent... I am in there 1-2 times a week just to talk fish, and look at her new stock. So I just ask if I can get a deal cut on a bulk...

The one that is the main focus of the picture is a male. The other one in the picture of the pair is definately female. You can see the spines on the dorsal are shorter, and she is a bit smaller....

Sorry for totally taking this off topic. But doesn't the $20 membership fee, and the fact you must drive 4hours to get there negate the $20 you're going to save? Just seems economically wrong to...

I've kept a few different Africans before, but they were smaller sized Mbunas. Never have I seen anything like this in a Cichlid before, but these are also my first South Americans.

I know Oscars...

Good luck with your endeavors! Hopefully everything goes smoothly with it! :22:

Looks to me like a male... Not an expert on these guys, but from what I can tell and have read it is. The dorsal in a male will generally have longer spines from the 2nd through the 8th spine. They...

Thats fantastic! Yesterday during a water change they were nipping my hand up, and then one decided to swim under, and inside the gravel vac and was just swimming up and down the gravel vac while I...

Also agreed on the 75+ gallon tank. The smallest species averages 12-13" which in a 55 won't have enough room to turn around as an adult.

Welcome to the AC! :22:

Good luck with the nano reef! I love nano reef tanks, wish I had the extra money laying around to buy some live rock for my 20 and turn it into a nano reef. :18:

I spend a lot of free time reading random articles and what not about fish, its my 2nd hobby lol.

Enjoy your corys! Probably my 2nd favorite species of fish... close second to Puffers. :22:

Primafix is a great way to treat internal parasites. Its all natural so treating your whole tank isn't a problem if you don't have a hospital tank. Just a bit more expensive then treating a smaller...

Well that one brought a huge smile to my face... Never quite heard snails put that way, but I do prefer that analogy more then any other I have ever heard. thumbs2: :19:

Well this afternoon while watching some ESPN I glanced over at my 55 to see whats up in their world. I ended up watching the tank for 20minutes in amazement. One of the Juvenile ( 1.5" ) green...

First and foremost welcome to the AC!

Secondly... seahorses are very very hard to keep alive in aquariums, and generally die more often then not. I'm not a saltwater expert, but the marine world...

Lets try this on for size then... Another of the closer looking specimens. Rarely ever seen in my area for sale, infact only ever seen a small shoal before and at $8.99 each they were way too much...

The poison is only deadly if ingested, and will not release into the water like that. That dude never experienced it first hand and its just hear-say. I've kept 5 different species of puffer and have...
