I went into a petstore yesterday and they had a rusty/copper colored betta. It kind of looked like there was a layer of paint, it was unreal looking. Probably because i've never seen or heard of on before. Plus, its body shape kind of looked like a large platy. If it's actually a betta, I might...

I'm getting a 55 gallon set up tomorrow for $75! It is such a steal! I'm very excited, but I'm having trouble deciding what to put in it. It's going to maybe be 4 months until I put fish in it, but I like to plan ahead :hyper: There are two fish I want to build it around - a peacock eel and a...

Thats awesome! I am only upgrading to my second tank. I have a 20g and movinf up to a 55g. Starting off slow:) What about two large schools of tetras - maybe 15 of each. Rummynose tetras and hmm.. Penguin tetras. For the middle. Then maybe like you said, a female betta or a larger species of...

What is with the deluded overstocking suggestions? This is the second time in a few days (last time it was 25cm Apollo Sharks as a better alternative to Tinfoil Sharks) that your suggestion is highly unsuitable (this time far too overstocked as Bosemani should reach ~12cm SL and their zippy...

I haven't even gotten the tank to cycle it yet, haha. I'm craigslist shopping at the moment, so right now I am just getting ideas :) There will be sand, but live plants.. I don't think so. Maybe some moss, but that's about it. I keep forgetting about those catfish! I wanted to get them, but...

I just dont want anything too common like platys, guppies, and mollies. They have to be able to get along nicely with my peacock eel :)

I don't know when. It could be this month and it could be two years from now, it's a long story. I was wondering, if I let it cycle, but I have to move, can I dump half of the water(or less)and filter media in buckets from menards and toss the rest? Will it mess with the cycle at all? It's a 50...

Thanks Neale! Its going to have sand instead of gravel anyway. recommendations? Softer the better? My local petstore can order about anything. I do have a budget, so nothing too outrageously pricey!

1) Do they do better in pairs? If so, would keeping two in a 55 gallon with other fish big enough? Im talking about for their whole lives. 2) What do they eat? Ive read up on this and it seems to be mixed. Im assuming it depends on what the eel will take. But what is a good diet for them? 3)...

My first tank is a 20 gallon that has been established for a few months now. 4 mollies, 6 neon tetras, and 2 mystery snails. I recently found out mollies are brackish and a 30 gal minimum is recommended for them. Anybody know if thats true? Anyway. My second tank is going to be something like...

If I put them in a 46 or 55 gallon tank, can I add other fish in with them? I haven't decide which tank I'm getting yet. Cories, tetras, and shrimps mainly. I'm talking about when the eel is full grown.
