Just out of curiosity could I add angels to this tank? How do they do in higher PH water? The more research I do on tank mates the smaller the options. From what I can tell my only option for good...

A cheap, ceramic filter only costs $20-$30 and it will get the pollution out. It's not as difficult as you've been led to believe. The pollution in rainwater isn't as bad as you've been led to...

So I ran off to the fish store and got a couple of the smallest brevis I could find. The two that I already had are definitely males. They're very territorial with each other. Anyway, I added the...

Well I wouldn't even consider using concrete if it wasn't for a cichlid tank. It should buffer the PH nicely. I was just a little concerned that it may create some other factor that I'm not aware...

I use a half gallon pitcher to fill my tank. I use one drop of prime per pitcher. I put the drop in the pitcher then I fill it up.

It's mostly river rocks with pockets of cold water inside that explode. When you boil them those pockets quickly turn to steam. The pressure of the steam trying to release causes the explosion. I...

And some neon tetras:

I also have a couple of these catfish. I can't remember...

And these are from my daughter's 26 gallon bowfront:

The one decent danio shot that I got:

So I picked up a Nikon D70 the other day and decided to try to grab some fish shots. I'm really new to photography so tips on lenses, getting fish to pose, etc would be appreciated. These were all...

Does this formation look better or should I go even higher? I think that I could build it up a bit more.

What negative side effects can I expect if I put some rocks and chunks of concrete from my backyard into my aquarium. It's going into a cichlid tank. I want to finish building up this aquascape but...

So I was at the thrift store yesterday and found this 2 gallon hex tank for $3. I then went to the pet store and picked up a small filter and heater for it.

Keep in mind that you went from a filter that's designed for a 30 gallon tank to a filter that's designed for a 70 gallon tank. I've got a 150 on my 26 gallon planted tank and it does the job as...

The shells will be added when I move my brevis from their 10g to the new tank. I'm still not even sure what sex they are. I don't plan on adding that many fish to this tank. As for the cave,...

I know that they'll probably outgrow the tank. By the time they outgrow this one I should have a tank that's more than big enough for them. I'll just move them again. The ultimate plan is to get a...

I recently set up a 44 gallon corner tank that just finished cycling. I already added a couple of plecos and would like some advice on how best to go about stocking it. I've heard that Tanganyika...

I'm thinking seriously about starting a saltwater tank. I'm also a homebrewer. Will my homebrewing hydrometer work for measuring saltwater salinity? Also, if I do get a refractometer will I be...

There are no fish in the tank. Thanks for the tip Hobbs. That was originally the plan but I haven't had a chance to get to the fish store. I just wanted to get it started. Will it eventually...

So a few days ago I set up a 44 gallon corner tank. I filled it up with water, turned everything on and then put in some fish food to start cycling it. The next morning the water was green. I...

How do I figure out for sure whether they're male or female? At first I had high hopes because they both had shells next to each other. Now one of them seems to have moved to the other side of the...

What would be good tank mates for them? It looks like I'm going to be upgrading their tank to a 20g high. I'll probably add a few more Brevis but I would like the tank to be a bit more interesting....

Well it looks like my tank is already cycled. A few days ago I tested the water and ammonia was 1.0, nitrites were 2-5.0 and nitrates were 20 ppm. I did a 50% water change and then checked the...

I always check thrift stores for aquariums and aquarium stuff. Just a few days ago I picked up a 26g bow front with a filter and hood for $25. After cleaning it up it looks brand new. It looks...

I'm pretty new to the aquarium hobby. I got into it because of an interest in aquaponics. I've been a gardener for years and aquaponics intrigues me. I figure I should start small and learn how to...

So a week ago I set up a 10g tank with two Brevis. I'm worried that they're losing some of their color and that their gills may be bleeding but I'm not sure. They always had dark spots on their...
