fish stores probably will not take them, if they do, they won't give you anything for them, fish that size are simply too hard to sell, and will end up taking up tank space at the store forever, i would list them on kijiji, you would be lucky if you were able to give them away....they get a lot...

i normally just use my fingers to rub it off

all 3 of them COULD BE female, its actually not uncommon for 2 female angelfish to "mate", the eggs will just be unfertilized and die, but the females will still protect them the same way they normally would with a male, in my experience breeding angelfish, if the breeding pair are not in...

can't really say when you have no pictures, but it sounds like angelfish have laid eggs, angelfish normally lay eggs on a vertical surface like that, i have bred angelfish for many years, and its not uncommon for them to lay eggs on filter inlet tubes, or sometimes even on vertical heaters...

they wont harm anything....and dont bother trying, you will never get rid of them......unless you empty the tank and let everything dry out for a few weeks

agreed on the sponge filter..... i use these in my breeding / grow out tanks..... https://www.bigalspets.com/seapora-breeder-sponge-filters.html?sku=4461 they come in different sizes depending on your tank size....they are very effective, cheap, and they literally last forever....i have some...

oddly enough, and ironically.....generally speaking, getting advice from a fish store is a poor idea, most of the people working there only know how to scoop and bag fish, and clean the tanks, and were probably flipping burgers, or selling car stereos last week

there are no set cut and dry guidlines when it comes to water changes, too many different variables come into play, type of food, how much food, filtration, fish stocking, types of fish, how you maintain the tank, etc etc, having said that, from the tank you describe, IMO every other day is way...

I have bred angelfish and discus.....the most i ever changed on my grow out tanks was 50%-60% per day, but i have never used a drip system, my breeding/growout tanks are all bare bottom tanks with sponge air powered filters..... i have had about 200 babies or more in a 35 gallon tank till they...

thats the nice thing about a drip system, you can change the speed of it whenever you want to make it faster or slower....lets take a 50 gallon tank as an example, if you want to change 100% of the water every day, then you set the drip to drip in about 2 gallons every hour....so in 24 hours it...

there is no right or wrong, written in stone rule....as you can see right here, its all a matter of personal opinion, fishkeeping is a constant learning process, experiment and find out what works best.....every tank is different, i would feed tetramin OR omega one flakes as a regular staple...

i have bred and raised literally 10's of thousands of fish in my time......i have used both tetramin and omega one....in my opinion they are pretty much equal in quality....i never noticed any difference in raising my fish while feeding one or the other

most shops will always say to feed less.....thats because most beginners tend to over feed/ put far too much food in....i find less food more frequently is best for smaller fish like yours

sorry i wasnt reading properly.....i wouldn't even use or recommend the pellets for your fish their main diet should be a good quality flake food....like this.... http://www.tetra-fish.com/products/nutrition/tetramin-tropical-flakes.aspx feed that once or twice a day....everything else is...

if it was me would feed the prima once a day, then one of the other foods once a day....so two feedings in total per day.....all food should be consumed in 2-3 mins

start adding fish SLOWLY...two fish a week max, leave your filter alone and dont touch or clean it for at least 6 weeks

easy fix with a dab of krazy glue....they also sell those magnets cheap

i would suggest an automatic drip system if your changing water that frequently.....there are lots of videos on youtube to make them yourself.....here is just one example.....

i wouldnt use any old tank water.....only whats in the bags with the fish, other then that fill the tank with all new water.....make sure your filter media is in a bag of its own with old tank water and make sure the filter media never dries out

what type of light are you using on the tank? how many hours a day is it on? can you take pictures of the algae growth? it's possible the sun has nothing to do with it

can you not just cover the window where the direct light is coming from?.....that way the room will still be somewhat lit up, without the direct sunlight hitting the tank

it depends if the sunlight is directly on the tank or not....if it is, that will promote algae growth....if your just talking about sunlight generally lighting up the room, then its not an issue

yes i agree, arrogance and more importantly ignorance on your part, you are exactly the type of person i previously described in my post #5 in this thread, you are just uneducated and don't understand how the filter works, or how to take care of it, don't hate on a product when the...

uuummm....i dunno....maybe feed it, and take care of it? :whistle:

you getting too many fish, too quickly...... with a brand new tank you should be adding fish slowly.....maybe 2-3 a week at most and bettas and tetras dont mix very well

a 10 gallon tank is not suitable for any marine fish

Guppy fry Sexting?......you mean on their cell phones? :hyper:

good post.....i agree with everything you say.....just like you, i have a bunch of aquaclear filters and fill them with foam, they are great simple filters

i have been using eheim jaggers for years on all my tanks....reasonably priced and work well

im not sure exactly what it is your trying to ask? if it was me, i would just stuff it full of foam and/or bio balls

no that's not proof it's not working properly....that's proof that you don't know how to take care of your tank properly

any pleco can be aggressive at times.....but every fish has its own personality, just like people i had a gold nugget pleco that would go NUTS every time i fed my fish, he would chase ALL the other fish all over the tank, and the pleco was only half the size of the other fish.....and it was in...

it is not well known.....and if somebody tells you that, they are just uneducated on the subject like yourself..... Under gravel filters are very effective as long as they are maintained properly.....the problem is a lot of people don't understand how they work, so they don't know how to take...

why do you say that?

getting "blocky" is normal right before they are about to give birth

don't worry about breeding.....they are difficult to breed unless conditions are perfect.....and you are also very unlikely to get a breeding pair if your only buying 4 or 5.....so chances are they won't be breeding in your tank.....and even if they do they will probably eat the eggs anyway...

4 max

im assuming the 190 means 190 liters? if so, i would say 6 is too many.....4 would be plenty.....i used to breed discus....good money in it

looks like poop to me.....it will drop off sooner or later

i don't really see much out of the norm..... nice tank
