Oh yeah I saw a website somewhere that said breeding Siamese Algae Eaters was fairly profitable too and there were alot of breeders trying this out. How difficult would this be, and would it really make much money? Thanks again. -PR

How difficult would this be? I am up for the challenge of keeping their water parameters perfect and stuff. Im trying to find a way to cash in on the fish/aquatic plant business because its one of my favorite hobbies/pastimes, and I heard that the Discus is a very profitable fish to breed...

Since I like them both, I cant decide wether to sell fish or plants on ebay. How exactly do you grow aquatic plants? Cuttings, seeds, roots, what? I plan on growing the potted kind (they go for more $$$) and it seems like they would be easier to handle than bunched plants. What exactly would I...

Aw man, thats what it looks like? I got ripped off! Mine wasnt java moss at all either. It was kinda yellowish brown and didnt stick well at all. I only had it for about a month and it all fell apart and got sucked up into the filter. It was ugly too... I thought it looked kinda funny :lol...

What about that liquid co2 stuff thats in the droppers? Ive seen some on ebay. Does that work?

I have a couple areas of light coming into the tank, does this have any ill or beneficial effects? I figured it would probably be pretty good for the plants, and the fish seem to like sunbathing in it quite a bit. I havent had much algae growth from it, so Im guessing its not too bad? . The...

Oh, it looks small because that is just one hood out of two. The tank is 4 feet long and 13 inches wide. When I said I have 2 bio wheels, I mean I have 2 units that have 2 actual bio wheels a peice. :P Heres a pic with just one of them, I took that a couple days before I put the second unit...

Its 48" long X 21 inches high X 13 inches deep. I have a spot for another one under neath on that stand, so Im probably going to get another later on and ditch the 29 gallon. And thanks for the compliments. You think its nice now? Just wait until I get my 60 new plants in the mail next week...

Ive got 2-Penguin 330's on my 55 gallon and a 125 on my 29 gallon. They work great, but the only problem with mine is that my 125 got kind of gunked up and the bio wheel quit turning due to lack of flow. I had to take the unit out and clean everything out really good, and by this time the...

BTW what kind of fish is this in the top left? Its pretty :wub:

OOOO Wow! I want one!! But im afraid I might kill it with my bottom feeder bad luck :(

Geeze. I guess im just having bad luck. I came home from school today to see that my Bristlenose plec had died. I have such a horribly hard time getting bottom feeders to eat. I couldnt get my Goby Dragon to eat so he died, and I dropped an algae wafer into the tank right by the plec every night...

He was fine this morning, and I left for 20 mins then came back to see him floating at the top with a bent back. He didnt look sick at all, and hadnt been dead for long.Water parameters are fine. It wasnt the one who had been jumping either. I guess he was playing too rough? :-(

Ok I got the Raphael to eat last night. I just dropped in a few shrimp pellets when it was dark and he found them. Im still having trouble getting my plec to eat. He never comes near the bottom of the tank. He stays up in my big Swordplant most of the time. The Cichlids usually get ahold of the...

I noticed hes got a big cut and a few scales missing on his forehead. He hasnt done it since last night, maybe hes learned his lesson. :lol:

I guess ill bite... Heres me :D And me in chicken form :thumbs: :lol:

Yeah that stuff stained my rocks blue. I just left them in though. Doesnt bother me much.

They are giving him heck! Is there another type of plec that they will laev alone? His tail fin is really tatered. Poor thing stays hidden up in the plants all day.

He does it with the lights on or off,and nope I havent added anythign to the tank lately.

As we speak, one of my barbs keeps taking off full speed from the bottom of the tank then jumping out of the water. I can hear his head bumping on the hood. Ive already covered all the places he could jump out of the tank from. What would cause just one of them to do this? It doesnt look like...

How big do these get, and how long does it take them to reach full size? Anybody here keep them? I saw some on ebay one time that were 3-4" in diamter. Thats a big snail!

Ive been boiling zucchini for my fish lately. The Tiger Barbs , Gouramis, and Bala Sharks seem to like it really well. The Cichlids on the other hand dont really have much to do with it. The Blue Zebras will nibble on it a tad, but thats about it. How long should I leave the zucchini peices in...

Hows that? Arent mollies the same way?

Yeah Im keeping Africans, and I have used the crushed coral. Its been in there for a couple days and the PH hasnt changed much. How long is it supposed to take? And on the bogwood, it must be pretty old because I put in in a bucket of really hot water and then left it for about a week. Then when...

So do you just use your existing hood and switch bulbs out at night, or do you have a whole different one that you switch to?

Try adding about 5 Tiger Barbs in there with yours. That should calm him down some. Ive got a school of 6 and they havent bothered any of my other fish. I also have 2 Bala Sharks. I think they get about 7" long. Great fish. They make a cool clicking sound at night sometimes, and when they want...

My problem is exactly the opposite, I cant keep my Ph that high for my Cichlids. :lol: Try putting some driftwood in the tank. They have lots of nice peices on Ebay. Thats where I got both of mine.

Anyone know US site where I can get one of these?

Well nevermind I guess she wasnt pregnant. She stayed fat for a couple weeks but now she slowly thinned down, and there are no fry in sight! I guess she was just a little 'irregular' :lol: How long do the swords usually have to be before breeding?

Yeah ive heard of these moonglow lights. Where do they go? Does it replace the flouro light, or is it seperate and smaller?

My Rapael ate 3 shrimp pellets on the first day I got him, but now he wont eat anything. Even when I put the pellets right in front of him. He just hides all day. I also cant figure out how im going to get my Bristlenose to find these algae wafers. Any suggestions?

I already had a couple peices of limestone in the tank, and now I just added some crushed coral. Maybe that will help :thumbs:

Tonight I got a bristlenose plec, and striped raphael. Im going to keep the plec in my 29 gal. for awhile and let him clean up a bit then I will put him into the 55 gal. Im keeping the Rapael in the 29 and getting some Khuli Loaches later. I was going to get some tonight but the lady said she...

I have some Pennywort in my big tank and it grows FAST!!! Its about 4-5" taller than it was 2 weeks ago. Its hardy too, hasnt lost any leaves and no yellowing.

The "electric blue" ones turned out to be the cobalt blue zebras. I think my Peacocks are called "Grant's Peacock". They never said anything about the diet. I just got some Cichlid pellets and they seem to be eating those just fine. The fish are very small right now. Would it be possible to keep...

Im trying to keep my PH around 8.0, what are some tips? Where could I get some bicarbonate of soda or whatever its called? Should I use salt even though I have plants? It says wood will lower the PH. Ive got a really nice peice of driftwood for the tank, is there any way I can keep the PH up...

Yeah I would also like to know more about them. I saw them on www.aquariumfish.net and they look interesting.

I got this leaf zone stuff that I pour into my tank for my plants, but I was wondering if the carbon in my filters would just take it right back out of the water?

Well im not wondering if theyre going to get along or not (which they should, i talked to about 3 different people from 2 different LFS's about it) I was wondering more along the lines of if this was too many fish for the tank? I have found the names of 2 species. Theyre are Auratus and blue...

What could cause this? I just got a nice 4" long one the other day only to find him dried up on the floor the next morning. My other small plec did the same thing. Could it be my tiger barbs chasing them around. (Cuz we all know theyre such little angels :rolleyes: ) Im going to get a bigger...
