I have a few fry(now mature guppies) that are more then enough in size to be moved to the adult tank, they are put in the adult tank and right away are chased down and pecked at. How do I prevent the adult fish from killing the newbie guppies. I have had several fry removed from the tank over...

It is noisy, but I noticed after a day or two, the noise seemed to blend with normal household noise, it passes.

I have my two tanks, and one or two fry are a few weeks away from making a new home in the bigger tank with the adults. My concern is how to bring them over.... My 10 gallon(fry tank) is a PH level of 7.0 and my 29 gallon(adult) is a PH level of 8.0..... How to do I bring them over and not...

Thats ok :)

They live with me, so I kinda feel like I tanken over the tank anyway :) They get all excited when new babies are born and they always after me to get them out.... The really odd thing about it all is, I had the 10 gallon for a year now, and have had fry born before, and in really poor water...

I am 33, and got into this guppy hobby simply wanting to buy a fish tank for my two young nieces. I had just a few guppies in a 10 gallon tank that someone gave me, but started to find myself looking at them more and more. After deciding that was not enough tank, I bought a 29 gallon tank for...

One of my first times on this board not even a month ago, I seen a video of a fry being born. I thought that was cool... And being I had a very pregnant guppy I waited patiently to get video of my own births, and it payed off..... The Guppy Birth Videos are no longer available on here, I do...

I would like to be informed before ICH becomes a problem for me. I have the 29 gallon tank with orniments and gravel and air stones and bio-wheel filter, when and if ICH enters my tank, I (already bought SUPER ICH PLUS) so I don't need to run to the store on find it is out of stock, I bought...

With the bio-wheel filter, can you just change the cartridge as ya go? Meaning, will the new cartridge just re-start the cycling? I have the Penguin bio-wheel 125 for my 29 gallon tank. Or will the bio-wheel hold sufficiant goods to keep the tank from going off course.

Thanks for the info, and I am glad i joined the forum, allot of the people on here seem well informed and I have come here to follow plenty advice. I do the draining currently by air hoses, and have no problems. I have seen a few people now mention primming with thier mouths, I couldn't do...

Thanks, I read that earlier, I was not fully understanding about the cartridges.... In the other reply to my post you mentioned rinsing the foam, as you see in the picture on my starting post on here, these can be rinsed correct? If so then great. But in the event I do need to buy a new...

I am using an Regent Aqua-Tech power filter and would like to know some info on the filter change (cartridge): Here is a pic of the cartridge so you can get a better Idea of which one I need to know about. Where do I put the cartridge a week before putting it back into the filter?, I read...

I seen one of them cup n hose syphoning (gravel cleaners) and guessed they were or are the best to clean the gravel, I wonder the same thing, are they a must or justa surface clean with the battery opperated vaccum i use to clean the sruface of the gravel of buildup.

I am about 3 weeks into my cycling on my 29 gallon tank, and I am wondering (when I am gonna add a new cartridge) about where in the tank I do place my new cartridge to get some growth on it. I am curious if just placing in the tank it will be disturbed by the fish in there. The current filter...

I seen some of them tiny lobsters, they are neon blue lobsters... Pj Pet Center (national store?) here in my area carries them. Not a thing in the tank when I seen them, but then again what store sets up tanks for fish they are selling.

I understand not to take away from the plants, but what about the build-up under the plants, is it ok to do as you said, just do a surface cleaning over the area where the plants are and (deep) clean the gravel else where? Or is it important to leave the buildup under the gravel as well over the...

This is my very first post, I have been viewing posts for the past bunch of weeks and now have my very first question to ask, and seeing most here are really knowledgeable, I figured this would be the best place to get my answer. I have yet to buy a gravel cleaner (the syphon tube, not battery...
