So Im guessing bad idea?

Eh.. I think I'll just protest from the sidelines. Walmart doesn't pay enough for this material. :rofl: I agree 100% with you on the synos/catfish versus plecos. too cute!

I dont think that the main ray grew back, but it does stand up straight and go towards his body every now and then. :/ Idk That is so cute. I love that fish can do that. :D Yeah I don't know. i get my picture done there so I check on them whenever I am there. Still sad though that they really...

Ever since I can remember my mom has wanted to get a backyard pond. She wants something really simple with running water and live plants. A lot of things have happened to her this year and I really want to make an epic pond for her, and since I have never made a pond before I was wondering if...

Wow I haven't been on in a long time. If anyone is still following this I'll give another update. :D Leckles is not shy anymore. He loves his tank-mates (kuhlis, Rosy barbs, and tiger barbs) and his cave that I created for him inspired by Dieses' caves. He is still camera shy. He waits for me...

HIS DORSAL FIN IS GOING TO GROW BACK!!!!! It is so huge already, it still looks slightly awkward and in an "L" shape rather than a triangle. I can't get pictures, he is still really shy. I only see him briefly before I turn on my lamp to wake up the other fishies and maybe twice other than...

Oh, I tied dit down with a rubber band. I guess I forgot to mention that... Is that okay? I'm using FloraPride by Tetra products. When Elodea turns brown, I know I have to remove it, but is simply cutting it with scissors at the base okay?

So I got this plant labeled Anubias barteri, which I dont think is lying, I couldn't really find a place to put it in my tank when I bought a new cave for my Syno to hide in during the day. i read that it will attach itself to rocks and drift wood, so I forced an attachment. Has anyone done this...

yeah they are red. I can see how they look yellow in the pictures. I'll have to find a way to get a picture of that without blinding him. His eyes are super reflective, so that may be where the yellow tint is coming from.

So agreed. A little TLC goes a long way.

What about Carbon Filters? I have a hang on the side filter that has a sponge-like filter and carbon filter. Tetra-Whisper for 20-30 gallon tanks. And what are ceramic rings?

REALLY? They threw him in the trash can? Thats terrible. They are in for the money, not the pets or the happiness of the customers. Honestly if I ran a pet store, heck, if I even was the guy at walmart who sold me Leckles, and a fish of mine was dying and some kid wanted to /try/ to save it, I...

What I have done in the past with my filters is just change them when they look dirty or if they weren't that bad I would just wash them off, but after hearing that beneficial bacteria lives in the filter, I was wondering, when do you think the best time to change a filter is. I've been looking...

Yeah My roommate and I are keeping an eye out for other fish that need a home to survive in momentary. I got lucky with leckles that he can /somewhat/ survive in my tank even though he supposedly can't live with Tiger barbs. (They dont even pay attention to him, they do their own thing. his...

He is officially moved in to my main tank and has found a new home away from the tiger barbs. :D He does come out though to play. Thanks Everyone for their help with this little guy.

Lol this is great news guys. I have just always called them momma and papa cause they are always cuddling and I have always thought of them as rulers of the tank as they get to pick their favorite spot before all the others. . So it is great that their names work with them (even if it isn't...

These are my two Kuhli Loaches that I had before I bought the other three. I was just randomally taking pictures of them while they were chilling in the bag and today I was going through my fish pictures on my laptop (rather than my phone) and realized that one of them is really fat. (Full of...

As Promised... These pictures were taken right after a partial water change, so as you can see, Leckles is a bit grumpy and not very photogenic. This is his other side. All I ever post is the bad side. And this one really shows off his dorsal fin. These are before and after pictures...

yeah I'll post a picture as soon as I can. He is starting to grow his little front fin and his dorsal fin now has no white and a little clear fin that seems to be growing back. I'm so excited. I'll be sure to get a picture of him showing off his new body parts. Those guys are so cute. :drool...

I'm really sorry about your loss. ):

Nice :D 65 is def. bigger than 29, which is what I have. I'll probably upgrade within three to four years to around a 55-75 gallon. I've read that these guys can live up to 20 years. Do you think that will be enough time before he gets too big. I would really hate it if I had to give him to a...

What size tank do you keep yours in? Heck, if your guys can handle oscars, I don't see why Leckles cant handle a few tiger barbs when he has caves. I'll also keep an eye on him to make sure that he is okay.

Oh wow! Thanks on the common name. When he jumped out of my tank my roommate said he didnt squeak and I knew that he did. +1 for me!! I'm finding very mixed information on the featherfin. Anyone know possible reasons as to why I cant place him into my main tank? I've read things from... -are...

+1 :rofl:

Agreed on the freakiest weather is in California. Where I live, we've been known to have rain, sunshine, and hail all in the same day and it is not an unusual experience. Got to love the valley, desert, mountain, beach state. I think the only thing we don't have is a rain forest. Anyways...

It is a good thing. We all love our babies. OH!!! and dont freak out if he does that thing floating too. Do the smell check however. My lps said that snails do that for fun floating from the top to the bottom shaped like that. Something about buoyancy when they are in that shape.

Yeah I know it is really high. That is why I am doing daily partial water changes (75%-ish). I hope that he will be okay with the Barbs, he is a fish that is "Okay to be with Chicilds" -Which I do believe, but just not in Walmart without any hiding places. ( I have four caves in my main tank)...

When I had an apple snail he would do that forever. I would poke and prod him so much when I was worried about him staying like that all day. But he always turned out fine. I think yours is just having a little siesta after eating. :nod:

well in all the "upper class" designer stores, they always have a betta vase or two, and they always look so neat as a child. So I can see where one would want to replicate the set-up.

My first tank was a one gallon tank which I put a fiddler crab, a African frog, an apple snail, and a guppy. First, the guppy died. So then I got a betta. That lasted for a little while. Then my snail died, and while fetching him out of the tank, my fiddler crab escaped. Thinking that he...

yeah, it is sad when pet stores dont know about the fish which they are selling, then they are telling their customers incorrect information which kills all their fishy friends. really sad and frustrating when as a customer you have to correct the fish store. Well just an update. Leckles is...

This was very helpful for determining what fish can go with a betta, seeing that he is the fish which you already have. http://www.fishforums.net/index.php?/topic/382234-betta-fish-compatibility/

wow that list was long. I didn't get through all of it. The picture that I posted earlier is the closest picture I have found that looks like him. Cited here http://markuswahl.com/mediawiki/index.php/Akvaristik I almost went to walmart again just to ask the guy there what fish I had bought...

No he doesn't have the main ray. When we got him and were looking on the internet for what sort of fish he was we doubted that he was a Synodontis because they have dorsal fins and Leckles doesnt. It looks like the other fish just decided to start nipping at him and that was the spot where they...

Okay, body part injury. That makes sense that he will not grow it back. Still sad to see the little guy scarred. He seems happier now though. I dont know what sort of fish he is. I'll go make a post in the catfish section asking for an ID.

I don't think Leckles is a BN Pleco. I thought he was a Synodontis. Was I wrong? we were just looking at pictures on the internet for something that looked like him.

So he should look more or less like that, correct? AS you can tell, Leckles only has a hump. I hope he can re grow it. Glad that your kitty did. I'm adding Melafix, so I'm hoping that takes care of infection. I have a 29 Gal with 6 tiger barbs and 1 rosy barbs. I've been having some unknown...

yeah about that... I'm unsure. I have a tank, but it has barbs in it and I dont know how they will take to a disabled fish that can't swim too well. Right now I am honsetly thinking of getting a new tank where I can put community fish in that wont try to eat him, or maybe just even get him a...

Yeah I love his puppy eyes. Everytime I walk into the room, he swims up next to the glass and and follows me with his eyes no matter where in the room I go. The pink spot is where the other fish were eating him from. He also has only one front fin and the other is very chewed up, almost less...

I know in the pictures he looks rather unlively, but he usually swims all over the tank he is in.
