thats an odd mixture for sure..... a bala shark can grow almost as long as your tank!!!

good job....i have found some great deals on used tanks over the years.....some of them i have had for over 15 years!

you need to do A LOT of reading before you purchase any fish.... an arowanna can grow to 18-24 inches depending on the type....i had a red one that grew about 16 inches clown loaches also get way too big for your tank

at least 2 weeks.....4 weeks if you can

great strategy.....wait till one dies to correct the problem :whistle:

they are not doing it by choice.....fish are not that smart, they don't know enough to stay out of that current remove the powerhead....there is no need for it anyway....just use an air pump to power your under gravel filter...it will be just as effective, but it won't turn your tank into a...

if your going to put a submersible pump in the tank, then why not just put a filter in the tank??? in a tank that small, all you need is a simple air powered sponge filter, they are cheap and last forever.....here is a random example...

i would say no..... if your tank is well maintained and cycled i would add two more tetras (of each kind)!!!

just like human males :yahoo:

sounds great..... i never understood why people pay outrageous prices at the pet stores for wood and rocks to put in their tanks.....if you look hard enough outside, you can find those items for free

im not sure, but i would just leave it alone, its harmless, let nature take its course here, either it will die off by itself, or your fish will peck at it

i use a 50 foot python and the suction at the tank is very strong, i never really understood why people want to DIY with the python, just buy one....if you consider all the use you get out of them over the years, they are well worth the money..... i have had mine for 25 YEARS!!....i bought it...

not sure....but that is a lot of discus for that size tank

its normal and part of the cycling process.....it will clear up on its own, do NOT change any water or clean your filter, just leave it alone....read up on the cycling process

i would never recommend a red tail shark in an otherwise community type aquarium, it will be nothing but trouble

the clear ones are alive....the white ones are dead sometimes i pick the white ones off if i can do so easily without disturbing the other eggs, if you leave them they can kill other eggs they are touching.....i use tweezers

not sure where you got that from....i have bred them in 18 inch deep tanks for years....unless you consider that to be deep

breed discus or angelfish....i can help ya :friends:

how long have you had this tank running? how long have you had all the fish? what have you done in the past 2 weeks to the tank / maintanance?

cucumber and celery are like eating water.....they have zero nutritional value, a lot of supermodels will eat celery and cucumber all day long because it keeps them full but doesn't make them gain any weight because its zero calories, if anything it will make them lose weight

my experience breeding discus..... its very common for them to lay eggs on filter tubes, or even on vertical heaters, very occassinallyy even just the side of the aquarium itself, if discus lay eggs and there are OTHER discus in the tank, the eggs will never get to the point of hatching, they...

that is probably true.... its not really good for any electrical appliance to go on and off every couple of mins

500w in a 60 gal? holy crap....i only use 300w in my 100 gallon tanks!

i generally like to use two lower powered heaters in my tanks as opposed to one higher powered one, my reasoning is, if one heater fails completely, the water will not cool down as quickly because the other heater will compensate slightly....and on the other hand, if one of them sticks in the...

Could you please sex my honey gourami again? i never sexed your honey gourami.....would never do such a thing with a fish :rofl:

hopefully :hyper:

i would do some major water changes over the next week and see if it starts to clear up.....maybe 40-50% every day

what are the other tank mates?...all discus?

suck on the output tube until you literally get water in your mouth, and no, i am not kidding.....its the easiest way, havn't we all tasted a bit of fish water at one time or another over the years? :fish:

people are all different shapes and sizes....some are tall, some are short, some are fat, some are skinny, some grow quickly, some grow slowly, etc etc every human is different, and every fish is different....don't force nature, just enjoy it

not really.....thats kind of like asking does it matter which pump i pull up to at the gas station to fill my car....its all coming from the same source i wouldn't

get rid of the algae eater before he starts terrorizing your other fish....those things get aggressive.....get 2 more platties

try to avoid the tank being in direct sunlight, however if its only for an hour or so per day, its not much of an issue

technically, every fish kept in an aquarium is stressed....does that mean we should stop keeping them all??

to fight off ich i would be changing about 50% every day, add more salt after changing the water.....you are also not changing enough water in general, if your only going to do weekly water changes, you should be doing at least 50% you dont have to vaccuum gravel at every water change, only...

i didn't read the whole post, all i will say is "fin nipping" would be very uncommon in a tank that size with the fish you have, your water conditions are most likely the culprit

is salt the only thing your treating them with? and more importantly.....how often are you doing water changes?....and how much water?

1 - if your changing the substrate for looks, then go for it, other then that leave it, substrate has beneficial bacteria in it which is good for the tank, substrate never "goes bad" 2 - definitely remove them 3 - no....as long as the bacteria in your filter are not killed....to prevent this...

personally i just flush em.... if they are too big to flush, i put them in a zip lock bag and put them in my freezer so they dont stink, then throw them in the garbage on garbage day

describe your tank better....what kind of filter do you have?....substrate?....plants?...etc PS...I never use ANY cleaning products in my tanks....just water
