Yes, I did this, removed everything that is not planted down. The plants were in the way, the plecos ran behind the plants.

That might work because I have a five-gallon tank. That is if I can fit it in with all the plants. It's worth a try. Thanks for the idea.

I have a 55-gallon community aquarium with a breeding pair of Plecos that I was not counting on. But now that I have this pair I want to catch them and all the babies. Not sure how many there are. I have a 29-gallon setup where I have already caught about six, and this is where they will all go...

Woodcocks dancing across the road

:hi:

:hi:

How in the world did you catch all of those. LOL I am having the same problem with BN Plecos. By total luck of the draw, I have a breeding pair in my 55-gallon community tank. Yesterday I did my best to catch as many as I could for re-homing into another tank. I got tired of trying. Plants etc...

Looks great, I like your background and aquascape setup. However, may I make suggestions for your next build. I always build my own stands and leave six inches to one side for a small shelve space. It comes in handy for pumps, food etc.

Welcome to the forum. New, used, given to me, or found on the side of the road. I always test my tanks outside in a safe area for at least 24 hours before bringing it in the house and filling it with water.

According to the scientist, the earth had been around for 4.5 billion years. There have been about five major extension-level events where 95% of all life that has ever lived on the planet are now long gone. The dinosaurs ruled the Earth for 165 million years. Homosapien has been on Earth for...

:hi: 74° F is on the low end for the Honey Gourami and the Harlequin Rasboras. 78° would be better for them. The BN Pleco will do alright at the higher temp.

SICCE makes four different sizes of canister filters in their Whale lineup the 150, 200, 350, 500. These canister filters are made in Italy which is a plus for those who are tired of Chinese-made filters, having said this it is more expensive. The small Whale 200 cost as much as the much bigger...

I measured the ammonia a second time and the color is either yellow 0 or a light tinge of green 0.25, hard to tell and depending on the light source. Nitrite is reading 0 and nitrate is 10. The nitrate surprised me reading so low when I expected at least 40 or more, due to how much ammonia had...

Some of you guys may remember that I make my own aqua soil and that in a new set up the soil becomes an ammonia factory with readings up to 8+. 8 is the highest color on the API Master Freshwater Test Kit, so who knows how high it actually is. Twice now in doing new tank setups with this...

Is there any way you can make room and get a 29-gallon tank? These are betters suited for you TBs.

Is this the fish you are calling the American Flag Fish? Link to image.

I have one of these 125-gallon plastic ponds that I bought at Lowes. I have yet to dig a spot to place it yet. Does that count?

Does this include only tanks that are currently set up and in use, or an empty and possibly future setups be included. In use 55+29+20 = 104 gallons or 393 liters. Empty 75+29+10+10+5 = 129 gallons or 488 liters Here is a link to a very handy little converter program if anyone wants it. It is...

I am sorry to read about your cracked and bleeding hands. I have always had a problem with oily skin, so much so I had acme really bad as a kid. Very embarrassing, for me as a teenager. But as I got older it all cleared up and my oily skin didn't bother me as much. So in my own way, I have had...

It is really easy to overstock a tank as small as a ten-gallon, so you need to be careful there. First, you should always consider your source water parameters and which fish are suitable for your water source. Second is water temperature, like where I live it gets really hot during the summer...

The only movie that actually terrified me was when I saw Sssssss (1973). I couldn't sleep alone for several nights after watching it. I had to sleep in the bed with Mom and Dad, and I was 20 years old. lol

I like marshmallow cream, but I see it is not on the list. I have to stop myself before I eat the entire jar.

Fish and other living things in my aquarium do at times show strange behavior. I have a mystery snail that from time to time plays dead. It sets upside down on the back of its shell for a short period of time then turns itself over and takes off crawling. It did this just a few minutes ago, but...

If you lived close to where I live, I could give you a bunch of baby Bristle Nose Plecoes.

Good luck, I have been trying to get an agree to button for a while now....lol.. :)

You're not upsetting anyone. By the way, I am a dinosaur, I am a T-Rex....lol

TFF is not going anywhere. If others can put up with me, they can put up with anything. lol.... :)

This Random Discussion thread always trips me up. I click on what I think is a new reply, then start typing to join in. Only to realize I am on page 105 which was seventy pages back. lol

@Fishmanic on a different topic, I still think we need an agree button to select. The Like button is ok but still doesn't fit for agreeing with someone.

Beautiful betta, I have come to really like bettas now that I finally have one. What size tank is Bounty in?

I have noticed a few times not many when a new person post for the first time and no one answers. This discourages them from posting again. That is why when a new person posts I try and answer their question. But if I can't, I welcome them to the forum and asks them to hang around because...

I agree with @AbbeysDad about plop and drop, shipped fish instead of drip acclimation. I have read about this before and it makes total sense, to get the fish out of the polluted bag of water as soon as possible. Only take the time that time that is needed to acclimate the fish in the bag to the...

Being new to betta keeping and upon reading articles about bubble nests, some say it is the sign of a healthy betta. While others say not to worry if a betta doesn't build bubble nests at all. Other articles say it depends on their personality, some build nests others don't. Mine does not build...

Well, that may be a big gamble for shrimp. From what I know these guys arrive very tiny and many don't live or even survive the trip. So that makes them expensive when a person orders 10 to get only five that survive and raise to maturity.

What is everyone's opinion of the hardiest shrimp that can be found in most local fish stores? I ask because I am thinking about doing a shrimp tank.

Me either.

Good idea I have a syringe I can use.

The water source used is from the Trinity River within two miles of my house. The water plant is right on the river. It is always possible that the water plant did something different to the water coming to my house. Something that caused the problems the last time I did a water change. I really...
