Thanks Lisa. You sound very knowledgeable with plecos. I will take your advice and find some bogwood before getting any plecos. As far as the gold nuggets go, my cousin owns a tropical fish store and he has had a few gold nuggets in this one tank for a month or so. They look healthy and if i...

fishkiller_nomore--- Thanks, these are neat looking ones. Will have to consider. Chibi---- Why would you say that this is a repeat thread? I did infact place two posts at two different areas so i could get possible more responses. Luckily, i have gotten some help. Mike

Hi everyone, I wanted to obtain good advice for successfully keeping a pleco or two. I like the gold nuggets, clowns, and royals. Is bogwood a must? If so, does the wood change any water parameters? How long before a pleco should be introduced to a new tank? Ofcourse, the tank would be...

Thanks for the info. Your help makes the researching easier. Mike

Thanks. They look pretty cool. Mike

Hi everyone, I was wondering if there are any corys out there that are truely black and white. I am not meaning like the panda cory but like for example a real panda or zebra. Truely white and black. Happy holidays!!!!!! Thanks for the help, Mike

Wilder, Yes, I have seen them. I do like them but i was hoping to find something more white rather than biege with the jet black markings. Thanks for your suggestion, Mike

Hi everyone, I am a newbie. I am starting to get a list together of fish that i want for my aquarium. I was wondering if there is a cory catfish that is white and black. I'm not talking about ones like the bandit cory. I mean ones that are very white striped jet black(like a zebra or real...

Majjie, Thanks for your thoughts. No, i wasn't going to try to cycle the tank with angelfish. Maybe i will try the fishless cycle, since you didn't have a bad algae problem. Mike

Catxx, Yeah, i know this will happen eventually and i don't mind cleaning as necessary. I just didn't want to make a mess out of my tank right away if that is in fact what happens when a fishless cycle is done. What is your experience with fishless cycling? Was your tank flooded with algae or...

Hi everyone, I finally got my tank up and running. Need to cycle it yet. Can't wait to get this tank stocked with some kio angelfish. When and if i do a fishless cycle, how bad is the brown algae growth when using this method? My lfs suggests doing a cycle with fish slowly over lots of time...

Hi Everyone, I finally got my tank set up and filled with water. Now i need to decide whether to do a fishless cycle or cycle the tank with fish (slowly and carefully). My lfs had suggested to do a fish cycle. Just add a fish or two every other week or so while keeping an eye on my water...

ironman, Thanks for your help. I will remember this advice. Again thanks, Mike

Your response is interesting because I was told to use Arm and Hammer baking soda. I'm glad i asked. I think i will leave this water alone and just try to slowly introduce fish to this 6.4 ph. Thanks, Mike

Well no one replyed to this so i went out and bought the Lees ultimate gravel cleaning kit. Hopefully, it is just as good or better than the python no spill. Mike

Hi there, I pretty much purchased everything i need to get started setting this tank up. I need to buy my two 36" bulbs for the light fixtures. What kind of light bulbs should i get for angelfish? (Wattage and the type of lighting) I don't know if angelfish do better with certain lighting or...

Hi guys, I have well water which reads about 6.4 acidic. I was told from a lfs to just add a tablespoon of baking soda to my 135 gallon tank and that should make the ph nuetral. Does this sound right? :crazy: Thanks, Mike

Hi guys, Which one seems to be the best from actual experiences? They look basically the same but if ones not as good as the other, i'd like to know now before i buy one. Thanks, Mike

Hi guys, I RACE OFFROAD NITRO 1/8TH SCALE BUGGY AND TRUGGY. I ALSO RACE A DIRT OVAL NITRO SPRINT CAR. WHAT FUN THEY ARE!!!!!!! B) MIKE

Chris, Your point is well taken. I guess i will just have to keep robbing the egg sites. I really want a nice looking well landscaped tank with beautiful angelfish. It does sound like it may be a pain, hopefully it will be worth all the effort i'm willing to give. Question--- What is a Amazon...

Tolak, I visited the angelsplus site you suggested. Looks like a good place that i may try out. I want to look at aquabid also once i get closer to the time of purchasing. Can multiple kinds of angelfish be kept together okay? Kios, Marbles, Golds, etc. My guess would be that they can be mixed...

Thank you for your suggestion. Also, thank you for your interest in photos of my future fish. Right now i have an empty tank. I need to buy some more equipment and all the internal supplies. ( plants, gravel, fake driftwood etc). Buy a freshwater test kit, test my well water, cycle the tank ...

Tolak, Thank you for your suggestions. I just got done reading your article on breeding angelfish. You seem to be very knowledgable with angelfish. If you don't mind, i will look you up on here for help as more questions arise. So, you think my tank size and that amount of angelfish should be...

I am from Maryland in the US. My tank measures 24" deep 18" wide and 72" long. You scare me by saying you have had problems with the kio angelfish dying on you. I always loved angelfish and really wanted to set up a large tank with them. The kio colored ones are my favorite ones and hopefully i...

Thank you for your help. I already have my tank. 135 gallon. Is ten to twelve fish okay? :)

Hi everyone, I am new to this site. I am in the process of setting up my dream tank. I was wondering what water conditions and tank landscaping that i should acheive to make angelfish thrive. I want to get a bunch of high quality kio angelfish once my tank is ready. Is there a popular breeder i...

Thanks for your suggestions :) . I guess using windex on the outside of the tank should be fine since no water has been added yet. My next question is what uv sterlizer should i get for this tank? Can it be spliced in to one of the canister filters? Should it be connected to the in going...

Hi everyone, I am finally getting my dream tank set up. I have had this tank stored for a couple of years but never wanted to set it up until i had the room. Now i do. It is an Oceanic 135 gallan showtank with oak stank and canopy. My first question is what should i use to remove the factory...
