i already did topped it off and plan to do a water change tomorrow, i took the pic yesterday (didnt have time to do it, 2nd weed of this semester) i guess one of the things i forgot to mention is that i cant really stand the sand anymore, and am considering changing to gravel. (the sand is...

im looking for stocking ideas for a 30 gallon established tank my tank measures 19"h 12"d 30"w has an aquaclear 70 filter on it, and a heater also contains live plants. contains: 9 phantom tetra 1 albino bristlenose pleco im thinking about adding another bristlenose pleco (maybe albino)...

thanks for the suggestions so far any other ideas would be great

im guesing by that you mean they have a lifespan of around 6 months? that would be interesting, how many would i keep at once in a tank that size?

thanks, they have grown quite a bit. and yeah im thinking more live plants, not sure which ones yet though

thats what i was thinking ive always really liked cichlids but never had a tank of them before

i currently have a 30 gallon tank with an aquaclear 70 on it (fully cycled tank) with some live plants. and has an adjustable heater anyways ive had it for probably close to a year and have recently lost interest. the only fish i have in it now is about 6-8 phanton tetra and an albino...

yeah fortunately i do have timers (picked em up at next to nothing at ikea lol) just wasnt sure how long to set them for really.

ive got a 30 gallon freshwater tank that has a sand bottom. well its a clean white sand, and basically over time it develops dark spots. (even though i vacuum it frequently) basically they are too heavy for the siphon to pick up, and if i run a fish net through the sand they are too small...

so i have a 10 gallon cycled tank that ive had for a few months, at some point i got a little lapse with water changes. anyways i have green algae all over the gravel (cleaned it off the glass) how many hours a day should i run my aquarium lighting ? (ive heard a lot of people say 8 or 12...

awesome this was exactly the kind of answer i was looking for! thanks a ton

Yes the tank has some live plants, I would say at least 5/6 months. Yes it has sand.

Look again I accidentally posted before UT was done and went back and re entered it And Ive had them for a few months and there is almost no aggression. 1 is albino and much smaller. Occasionally the larger one will move at it but the albino is much faster and just moves away. A lot of the...

So I have a cycled 30 gallon tank. 19" x 12" x 30". (19 inches is height) Aqua clear 70 filter Currently it contains: 2 bristle nose pleco 5 platy 1 dwarf flame gourami Fish I'm planning on adding: 10 black shirt tetra 6 panda cory Can I add anything else? Any suggestions? So what i'm...

this is what im thinking now: although i would have liked to add in something "special" like an apisto or ram.

is it me or wouldn't this be a bit understockeD? (especially since i have an overpowered filter)

I had to remove the angel fish because it was being too aggressive. I've had rams and one was aggressive (protective) for a day or so then relaxed.

okay so ive decided im moving my angelfish to another tank because its far too aggressive if i add any fish into the tank. so what should i put in to replace it ? current plan currently have: 3 fire platy 2 blue platy 2 bristlenose pleco 1 flame dwarf gourami planning on buying: 10...

I'm not sure what a widow is? Some variation of tetra?

i have driftwood in the tank currently, as well as an actual cave. (and natural + fake plants for cover)

so im thinking my stocking plan is: (fully stocked mind you) 1 Angel fish 3 fire platy 2 blue platy 2 bristlenose pleco 5 black phantom tetra 5 black skirt tetra 6 panda cory 1/2 blue ram + dwarf flame gourami ? does this sound alright? (would it be over/under/correctly stocked? ) and...

thanks for the feedback. how many panda cory should i prob get? and ive kept a dwarf gourami in this tank before and it had no problems with my angel. im thinking ill start with some of those, about a week or so later add in prob 6 of 1 type of tetra a week later 6 of the other type...

alright so ive returned from the fish stores. my favorites on appearance alone tetra: black phantom tetra max 2" . black skirt tetra max 2" cichlid turquoise jewel cichlid 4" electric yellow cichlid 5" assorted afrian cichlid 2-10" socolofi cichlid 5" they also has blue platy that...

i really like your suggestions. i think what im going to do today is go down to petco and my lfs, make a list of the cichlid & tetra variations i like the most and post them back for opponions.

well i would liek to have a smaller fish that school together. love anything with vivid or bright coloring. i love the look of cichlids ! those are what i probably like the most, however ive heard they are supposed to be species only because they are super aggressive? so maybe some mix or...

im planning on going by the fish store tomorrow so any other ideas would be appreciated

thanks but looking for more broad ideas. (and aproximate numbers of fish) basically something a bit more specific. thanks though

okay so i have an arleady cycled 30 gallon freshwater tank. has a 150 watt heater, and an aquaclear70 filter on it. (contains a few live plants as well) tank has a sand bottom. currently contains: 1 Angel fish 3 fire platy 2 bristlenose pleco team measures 30" Long" 19" high 12" deep so...

yeah it loooks like its growing on top of it

it has something fuzzy growing on its nose, i tested the water (api master test kit). and everytings as it should be. i have recently lost a few other fish out of the tank. (due to various causes). the other remaining fish show no signs of being unhealthy also wanted to add, i just...

i have an electric blue ram in a 35 gallon completely cycled tank. (api test kit verified) anyways ive had him for probably a few months now, and all of a sudden he seems to be gasping for air, staying at the bottom of the tank ,and when he tries to swim his balacne is off somewhat sideways...

so i have an aquaclear 70 filter on my 35 gallon tank thats fully cycled, im going to start up a 5 gallon tank using an aquaclear 20(mini) and i want to cycle its filter before the tank gets here. i can set the filter in the top of the 70 filter housing, but it sits about 1/2 in the water, 1/2...

i havent tried to baffle it yet but from what ive heard you just buy an extra filter and fit it to the part where the water leaves the filter and enters the water should be easy enough. i was thinking about getting some shrimp, are these okay to keep with betta?

yeah it looks pretty nice and its really cheeap although if your going to swap the filter id rather buy a 10 gallon + hood at petsmart for the same price $25. (have to buy light bulbs though) it cost a little more because you need more gravel and such.

yeah i bought a 50w heater for it, and im was planning on buying an aquaclear 20 for it as long as it fits. what kind of fish do you have in yours? if betta is the current too strong?

edit changed my mind can delete

just realized a 1 gallon glass bowl would cost me $20 so for $25 im going to buy this 5 gallon tank http://www.walmart.com/ip/Hawkeye-5-gal-Tank-Aquarium/14660258 (i know i could get a 10 gallon glass with hood for this price but i cant because of the size / weight) i know i can replace the...

yes both of them contain fish

Thanks. Also can you guys mention where they can be purchased. Ex lfs or like home depot
