    Power Cut

    first of all, your tank seems overstoked, although i am not familiar with measurements of tanks in feet... Because of this, if the filter dies, the fish will dirty thier tank quicker than a normal tank, and the waste will produce more toxins. i talkede to a person at my LFS, and they said the...

    How Big Is Too Big

    I read that ADFs shouldn't really have too big of tanks, because they need to go up for air, but i'm now sure of the definition of big... I have a tengallon, which should be okay, as there is gravel (BTW i need to know if sand is okay for my ten gal tank [tankmates in profile]) about 1 inch...

    How Many Adfs In 2.5 Gal?

    cories eat algae wafers?? hmmm... i learn something new every day... anyway, i have a ADF, and he leaves a lot of his food to rot, which is very wasteful, and very bad for the tank specks... i would go for one or two providing you are willing to clean up after them regularly... also, stay away...

    Should I Be Worried?

    they were quarentined for a while, but that was when they were just added... maybe they were just determining pecking order... they have many hiding places, and he would go an peck at others in return so i'm not sure... they are fine now, and it looks like he is leading the school now...

    5 Gallon Stocking

    i baught a five gallon for my dorm, and so far it has been nothing but a disaster... I u[graded to a 10 gal, but still it's small... I would say go at least like 20 gallons, and keep the guppys (schools of them are awesome)... also, i would keep the 5 gal as a quarintine/ hospital tank... I wish...

    Best Tank Sseparation

    In my profile, i have my list- o- fish, which includes black skirts, corys, a CAE, and an ADF... I have a 5 gal and a 10 gal tank... the 5 gal has an internal filter, and my 10 gal has a power filter... i'm wondering if i should move the frog into it's own tank, so i can see it more and it's...

    I read that if you put a terracotta dish in the bottom, the frogs will go to it to eat... have any of you tried it?? does it work?? how do you cut up the food small enough for them??

    Feeding Adfs

    we don't have a bait store nearby, and in researching, i found that they could eat and like to eat tilapia, so i went to the grocery store to buy that, (a fish that a small town grocery store would have) and he seemed to like it... I also tried the baster idea, but this seems very difficult. I...

    Should I Be Worried?

    Catfish Id Confusion

    so should i just return the otto?? I have corydoras in a different tank, and the otto in with the black skirts. I shouldn't put the corys with the blackskirts even though they will get along because they will be overstocked... also because of the gravel, but i have that gravel in the other tank...

    Should I Be Worried?

    i have a ten gallon tank with four black skirts, a otto (i think) and a african dwarf frog... Three of the black skirts are ganging up and picking on the fourth... could they be male, and the other female?? are there other reasons they would pick on the other??

    yes i throw away the previous filter cartridge... i am not really sure how i would cut it in half... I use a tetra whisper one with activated carbon inside the filter packet. It shows that i can replace the carbon, but i cant put 1/2in the slot with a new one... Is it starting the whole ammonia...

    Hi, I have a problem with two different tanks... My five gallon was previously occupied by four corydoras, and two black skirt tetras. this was a happy healthy tank... I realized that was not fair to them however, because the tetras are schooling fish, and need more than two, and it was already...

    Wierd coloration

    I'm not sure what it is, but mine seems to have the same thing... I was told mine was an otto, but the head was never the right color... i was trying to see if it was a different species, but i can't find anything... anyway, the tank i baught it from had about twenty, and they all had yellow...
