I have one brown knife with my senegal and have no problems. Also, my bulldog plec was eaten by my senegal and it is only 6-7", so I would say that one is not a good idea. Pretty much a good rule of thumb, if it is too big to be eaten by the bichir and it is not aggressive towards the bichir...

You can also take the filter media from the new tank, place it in the filter of the cycled tank along with the cycled tank's media and the bacteria from the old media will seed the new media, but this will take a good week or two to get enough growth to do any good, so it might not really be any...

If you like the gravel well enough, that is what I would do. This hobby is expensive enough as is, might as well try to save a few $$$$ when you can.

Boil it then you won't have to worry about the snails or any other pesky things that may have hitched a ride.

I have two in a 65 gallon tank along with two suncats, two convicts and one brown knifw and they get along quite well. Remember, senegals get up to 12" so your current tank will be a very close fit for a full grown senegal. If you can possibly up-grade when the time comes, they make great fish...

Trying to find sources for VHO bulbs within the proper range for planted tanks.

Well, maybe not. Another reason for using two smaller heaters is not only incase one poops out you still have one keeping the water from getting too cool, but also the thermostat can malfunction and the heater can heat to it fullest capasity. So if you have a smaller heater, it can't heat the...

For future reference, you don't need to use ammonia to do a fishless cycle. I have used the shrimp method with great success. Simply put a RAW shrimp in the tank and as it decomposes, it will produce ammonia thus creating bacteria eventially cycling your tank. I would place the shrimp in a...

Bamboo Plant (Blyxa Japonica) is moderately tall and thin.

I have two ARO model AS-220 VHO light ballasts that I bought when I was going to start corals in my SW tank. The SW tank is gone, but I have these ballasts and was wondering if they had any use on my upcoming 75 gallon planted tank? I guess what I am asking, is can these ballasts power NO or HO...
