well, yea, all the guppies ive been looking at cost about that price. And yea I understand its store credit most of the time. I do have a couple of shops I will present too and see if buying would be the option, or store credits. I mean, there are things I could use for the tanks. And does...

Just started reading a little bit and although they all sell for about 4.99 or so online, Blue Cobra Guppy (Poecilia reticulata) is one i am possibly looking at. I have a 37usG tall that would be great with the right set up and plants. Any body have any input by all means, please put in...

Good point, thank you, yea I will look more into them. I was actually thinking either a Tropheus Dubosi now, or Morii, if not one of them, maybe even Julidochromis dickfeldi Dark Blue ooorrrr Julidochromis dickfeldi

How many would I comfortably fit in a 37 us gal tall?

I'll look into the convicts some more, and start some on the guppies as well. My friend works at a petco, and told me some cobra guppies would be ideal, and turn a pretty penny for a side deal.

Honestly, I use it in ALL of my tanks, and my tanks are pretty stable most of the time. I use the Special Blend, The Water Conditioner (Heavy Metal Detox), and Nite out II for ammonia and nitrite detoxing. I use so many becuase my tap water shoots around in ammonia levels, and the Aqueon is...

I didn't specify before but I have Tang Cichlids, and the lava looked okay, and i think i have like 2 peices of lace rock. but i will look more into slate, and like i was saying for plants, from what i understand everywhere, my fish don't like particular plants, and wont eat them. Hopefully...

Thanks, yea, that is totally cool, also, how is the tank/crab(s)?

Okay, so I currently have 4 different tanks, 80g, 37g, 10g, 4g. I want to combine them into my 80g cichlid tank(should be fine so far), and then set up my 37 as a breeder tank and planted. I don't need help with plants yet, i need to decide which fish I want to breed. Anyways, I love the Lake...

Should just be cloudy water..if no flow from the filter check for sand in the pump. I've noticed my 4g and 10g both sucked in sand almost immediately. Filter sponge helps significantly and helps trap more crap for the crabs and others to munch on. (Depending of filter sponge and filter, may...

Would any particular rock be better for the cichlids? Any anubias? I think im going to buy a bunch of lava and stack it on the back side of mine, let it set its coarse that way. but slate/granite which is better? i did already check out the local landscape yards.rock for about .25c/lb

I haven't notice much higher electric bill. BE EXTREMELY CAREFUL putting the top on, you DO NOT want to bend the tubing on the inside, where your water flows. Mine currently stopped filtering the water through; the system and sorta "cooked" it as for I didn't check on it for a week. I just...

Yes, lots lots more reading to do. I won the tank at a fair, I already have 2 other tropical tanks, but this tank is basically what is left from after the fair and transport. Sand is getting put in, withing the next few weeks, i have it, just need the time off from work. As for the fish and...

All I can think of is to keep a close eye on them the next couple of days, and work with about 10-15% water changes in the mean time. If all else fails, i recommend a "general cure" for illness at the LFS or apparently petsmart has it as well. Dr Foster & smiths has it online as well.

I was using a Tetra Flourish for my plants, havent done hairgrass yet, but will be experimenting with and moss in coming month. The right substrate helps and so does co2, i have heard a lot on diy, and i actually think im going to try these "diy" style ones online on amazon, that are predone...

Stupid question, but did you already have it cycled? forget to add dechlorinator?

Sorry, not used to forums or really much of all the different foods. What is "NLS" and when you say huge boon, you mean that the shrimp may overpopulate since as they mature protein wont be as important? Thank You.

Currently they get a every other day feeding of pellets, flake (w/ krill and other nutrients in it), and then waffer tabs almost daily, to every other day, to even out the algae grazers and plecos. I was also told by another poster about not feeding them the pellets any more for the protein may...

My friend over at the local Petco told me that the "Ghost shrimp" would NOT be sufficient to feed to my Tang. cichlids. On the other had, Live Aquaria has some and it is the only one that states they can be used as feeders as well as cleaners. Does this hold true for the few cichlids I have...

I tried doing a count of the fish that i know of in there, and I will recount when i redo the tank with the new sand, so far I have: Tropheus Duboisi - about 5 Young Frontosa - 2 Tropheus Moorii - 2 Neolamprologus Cylindricus - about 4-5 Neolamprologus Pulcher Daffodil - 4 More Fish to ID...

Yea, I am going to have to look into it all as the time progresses with them. Now im having the problem of heat ive noticed, my small nano 4gal is going over 80F now, and my 75 is at about 82, and thermo is set to 73F ish...any suggestions, the house is about 82+F, do the cooling fans petco used...

Im going to be looking up more about these fish today, but wondering if you or anybody else knows stocking for the tropheus moorii and frontosa..i only have 2 left all the ailments, and would like to replace any if possible..also will aggression become a problem if they were all there first?

Also, I thought of this as I was trying to take pictures this evening, what sort of lighting is good. Right now i have a 48" Coralife with t5 antic and t5 10,000k but my tank is still really dark. Are the bubbles making too thick a layer for the light to travel, and maybe even the color of the...

Unfortunately I don't have another home for them. My 37gal will be terrorized and my other tanks are too small. and same goes for the plecos, no tanks big enough for them atm. I mainly moved my pleco out of my 37 due to the amount of poop that was his all over the tank all the time. I may...

Possibly moving in September...mehh, I hate moving tanks..

I have had great luck with "E.M. Erythromycin" for tail rot and mouth rot and it worked great, I just didn't see it in the medicines i don't think, by API. :lol: :good:

Yea, we shall see. As time progresses too of course i will be adding a lot more rock to the tank.. As a matter of fact if i remember properly when they had the tank set up, they had a very high mountain of lava rock which i may go back over to doing again, or ocean rock, if i can find any not...

Thanks for helping identify some of those guys, I will try getting some more pix of the other guys, hopefully I'll have some tubing soon to set up my new filter system. I thought the tropheus moorii were that when i looked them up but colors varied differently so wasn't sure. Unfortunately I'm...

Okay, so I'll start feeding them all more often with the tabs daily/nightly. My LFS said i may have been over feeding them, becuase i did have a fungus of the body erroding away, so i stopped that and everything is fine now, and ive been steady with everyother day, with occasional extra another...

Okay, so I currently have them on an every other day feeding schedual and will continue with the flakes and veggie tabs. I will still continue to use what is left of my pellets and when they run up, no more, i also soak the pellets and tabs a little bit first, ive read the pellets can expand if...

I actually have one of these guys with a common pleco in a 4' tank, they both are fine. I havent noticed too much growth in the few months I have had him, but maybe because they are in a herbivore cichlid tank.. But very cool fish, my current lighting is coralife 10000k and blue antic, want to...

I haven't heard much on lava rock not working out in regular tropical. Most petstores around here sell forms of lava rock for the tanks. As for the rooting of the plants, I myself have not run into any issues with sand as substrate for plants to grow. And either I add microblift formulated...

Wondering if you could update on the tanks.. It has been a while but did all work well? Did you find an effective medicine?

Here is the little buddy with one eye I found. I happened to walk by at the right time last night to see him on the bottom of the tank getting picked at, so I moved him to my 37gal tropical, and my shark started picking on him by this morning, so i quickly started my 10gal i was saving as a...

The USB fans actually work pretty well, even if they don't seem too. I work at an office supply store in U.S. and we use them on older laptops that run constantly and also my brother did something and ALL of his cooling settings were turned off somehow, and the only thing to keep it alive while...

If you check out my "posts" i have a few pix in there to check out! TY +>

HELP! haha HELP! haha HELP! haha Lemon Pleco (I think) Common Pleco Tank Setup as of Yesterday, Re arranged some things to bring aggression down this morning, but won't have a picture until tomorrow night, ill try tonight though.

I can work on the pictures, probably tomorrow night, I tried using my professional camera and it failed, so I will have to get my phone out and shoot some more. And the Tangs seem fine so far, the Plecos seem to be acting pretty normal as well(well known LFS said they should be fine with them)...

I'll have pictures available later in the evening my time, since my tank is extremely hard getting pix from during the day

Here is a picture of the current set up. Minus the canister filter hanging in on the right of the photo. The 2 rocks in the middle and one on far right were all found(on my road trip to Kansas) and bleached before use in this tank, the other 2 on the left were randoms from a pet shop. I'll...
