Ok so tonight I went to Petco and bought my fishies. 3 Tiger barbs who are schooling, I presume 2 have paired off, I will have to purchase another one at Petco, 3 silver mollies who are very small along with 2 gold gouramies who are even smaller. I asked the idiots when they fed them and they...

No man, you print out the sheets take them in store. Even with shipping its still cheaper than petco in store.

They do it, it's just a hidden thing. They are actually happy that their customers do that. Since they are pretty much better than Petco

Than you have diatom, I am not experiance with thatrtype of algae but I am sure some one on here is.

Ok cool, ya you can buy the Aquarium pharmectuticals test kit for 15 bucks instead of the instore price. Petco doesn;t do this which goes to shame. What type of ex. filter do you have, can?

Intresting, but if a fish gets highly stressed out and doesnt die, how long will it take for it to recover?

Nice looking tank man!

I know for a fact Petco sells a pretty good electric Vac priced at 25 bucks.

Give it a few hard squeezes whilst swishing it around. This will get that gunky slime off.

Wouldn't she/he been able to save the fish by dipping the food into those vitamin gels?

The largest I have seen has been 3 inches. I can't find substantial info on them

What's the name of that Tetra disease where it can affect a Tetra and kill other fish in the process? Is it a rare or common disease?

It is fungus, that cotton thing you see is layer of bacteria growing

If you could remember I said Hagen redesigned some of the aspects in the motors? I bought a 300 1.5 years ago and it makes a constant ghrizzing noise. I contacted hagen and they told me the impeller must be bent a bit, I took it out and nope perfectly straight and level.

Spice is right, two years ago I got a small shock. Since than I tape up the remaining sockets and put a splash guard for extra protection. Also in relation to your issue, why not just read the instruction booklet? I mean that's why they are made mate, so you can learn to use the product...

Well what color is it, this comes from either Diatoms which are brown or green which is well regular algae

Ugh I hate those breeder tanks. Last november 2004 my platy had about 50 kids. I put them all in a breeder and they got harrased by all the other fish in the tank. So a few weeks later she got pregnant again and I put the kids in a 2.2 G Aquatic Garden Aqurium with a sponge. Thy grew up nice.

That link doesn't work :S

He did that on purpose. I think it is uniqe, but man do you have some cloudy water.

Dreworz, what type of filter are you planning on running, tell me what aquarium your going to use and what city you reside in. If you live in the US and are near a petsmart print out a filter or any of their items than go to the store. They do price checks and you can save almost 50 per cent...

Telee, can you please explain to me what shocking the tank means? Does it/will it disturb bacteria cultres in the water? even though there isn't many bacteria in the water that are free-flowing.

Looks like a saltwater tank to me. Since it seems there is LR in the middle with and airstone. Otherwise I would love to have that, but I don't think my parents would like the water bill :lol:

Oh, if that is your goal I find Barbs specifically tiger and green tiger somewhat aggressive. They are niqe fish I bet you would enjoy them

If you happen to look at my 20 Gallon fish list, I was wondering what other fishies I could put in. I've got my tank setup with nice coves and gravel/sand designs. With some nice silk plants that look very real. I am a good barb fan since I enjoy watching their feeding habits.

Your tank would be a perfect live bearer with cories tank

That doesn't sound very aggressive. But keep in mind angel fish are amazonian, you may ahve some trouble with the loach vs. angel.

I wouldn't recomend it. I would try natural ways such as bogwood or peat. Even a seasonal experiance aquarist would not touch it with meds.

What are your water parameters right now? Ammonia , nitrite, nirate, ph , temp When was the last time you changed water?

Teelie, from what you said does that mean that a placebo will work for humans? I mean there have been studies done on humans and other mamals in which a placebo type drug was admistrated to the patient in which to make them believe it would be a cure for the problem they had? I see where you...

Dre, You could do like a fake silk plant amazon looking bio, with a school of 10 tetras.

Ok let me redo my reply. Dre, It would not such a wise decision on your part to include those fish in your tank. First of all an Albino shark needs a minimum of 50 US Gallons. Anything under will not suffice. The shark will grow to a maximum size of 6 inches. Those black tetras will become...

Dre you can do that if you want some nice yummy treats for the shark LOL

No link, that just my person thought. But it really applys to full body fish

No I have a pair of Tiger oscars in my 74 gallon. I know that in a few more months they will be too large for my tank. Either I will have to upgrade or give them to a better home. From what I have read around, a lot of people recommend 115 gallons minumum for oscars.

A lot of people on generators that run on diesal

So your saying wild ones can handle salt?

I see, intresting. I bought the puffer for cheap at 4 bucks. I know an lfs run by a good asian man in Panorama city. Sold me the puffer oscars and 2 malawi cichs. for 24 bucks. All of which were healthy

Here revised spelling See you have a 30 gallon tank. Each Cory needs what 25 gallons? So if you get 5 their gallon usage would be 150 gallons plus the need for the other fish. That would mean you would have to use a 350 GPH filter. And if your substrate is going to be more than 1 - 1.5 inches...

So if BOX A advises to put one rounded teaspoon for every 5 US Gallons you would wan't to put a half teaspoon?

A lot as in, well depends. It's hard to explain- See You have a 30 gallon tank. Each cory needs what 25 gallons? So if you get 5 their gallon usage would be 150 gallons plus the need for the other fish. That would mean you would have to use a 350 GPH filter. And if your substrate is going to be...
