I'm having the same problem over yonder. Still can't log in :-(

Awesome piece of wood! I wish I had it! I think it looks great, make sure to keep us updated I can't wait to see what it ends up looking like. Not really sure about stocking though.

Thanks for that, I'll have a look! :good:

I see it too, but I think its an illusion of the eye. The left side has the bubbles and the right doesn't, also J4M13 may have been standing a tad to the left when the picture was taken, making it look like that. I could be off though!

Oh boy, its starting! :hyper: Mine hasn't grown much either so I'm guessing they grow pretty slow, I was just letting you know how big they can grow. Mine was fine too until I saw it chasing around my gold gourami one day, just a word of caution :good:

Hi :) Your tanks looking nice! The fish is a Crossocheilus aymonieri, or golden algae eater I believe. I would be careful as sometimes these fish can develop a taste for other fishes slime coat and will latch onto the side of them to suck it off. I had it happen. Try to make sure you putting...

Looks good! I love that piece of wood you have :good:

Where abouts are you located?

Hi :) Welcome to the forum! I've heard its hard to keep a small tank cycled. Its actually a lot easier keeping a larger tank. Also you'll be limmited as to what you can keep in that small of a tank. Maybe a betta or possibly just some shrimp and snails. A 5 gallon tank isn't really suitable for...

Hi, I would suggest against kribs. They tend to get very aggressive while breeding. You could have maybe just a pair of kribs in a 96l with nothing else. I'm not positive but your tank may be leaning towards overstocked as of right now, all of the fish you have are mid to top dwelling. Maybe...

Haha okay.. I'm convinced. I love that tank :drool:

Yes! I shall paint it black :hey: I'm moving to a new house shortly so I can do it then. I was worried about the wood getting lost with black but once I get the new LED lights I think it will look awesome. Thanks guys.

Cool! Welcome to the forum :)

Thank you :) I thought about painting it, after I already had it filled and up against the wall. I'm not sure what color to do though when I get the chance.

Hi, have a read about cycling your tank. Feel free to post any questions afterward. Welcome to the forum! :) cycling

:hi: Great to have you here!

Hi :) I think the BGK may get bulied with the oscar and silver dollars who may nip. Also once full grown, two oscars may compete for territory, even in a 400l tank. I would say pick your favorite over the oscars and the BGK and reconsider stocking then. Oscars can just get so aggressive while...

I feel it should be said, and heard for that matter. True the Mods are probably too proud, as they should be.

Well said. I may still be "new" but this forum is/was amazing, I have to say everyone is/was treated so well and I frequent this site multiple times a day just because everyone is so inviting and has fun with what their doing. Couldn't imagine life without all of them anymore. Everyone has...

Thank you! I'll check it out. :good:

:D Thanks, I'm in love with that piece of wood. I've been searching for java moss around here and I can't seem to find any, I need to look into ordering some.

So I moved some stuff around, added some wood. Please excuse the cucumber seeds. I need to invest in a camera.

Also another thing I needed to research. Its my dads glass and he thinks its tempered, but hes not sure. When he said he had glass though, I instantly thought aquarium! Thanks for that, I shall find out before getting into anything.

lol I think we all have those moments where we wonder. When my pugs in his cage and really wants out he grabs the bar with his little teeth and has his lips all up. While wimpering. Its the cutest, weirdest thing ever and I've yet to get a picture because he stops when you get close.

So, I'm thinking as long as your filters still had water in them to cover the media and sponges, your bacteria should be fine. You may have lost some, but not all. Without the filter running, you would loose about 10-20 percent of living bacteria every 24 hours. Changing so much water should be...

Thanks Oldman, I appreciate your thoughts. I plan on making it look more like show tank, possibly heavily planted. I'm not sure if I want to take that route, or go with something more show tank sized. I like the idea of dedicating a tank to a certain species. I've been contemplating a tall tank...

Ahaha! Great picture :hyper:

It is beautiful! I love it. I can't wait till my plants grow in :)

Exactly. So many species are happier together, in big groups. I keep trying to say I'm so obsessed with aquariums because its the most beautiful form of art I can create.

Right! I would love to have tanks in every room of the house. The boyfriend doesn't understand how different each tank can be. I'm slowly getting him into it :hey: I was so surprised getting a 75 gallon, I expected it to be huge but once its up it doesn't look that big and you can't really put...

Haha, I loved reading it! Your tanks all look beautiful :good: I see myself being the same way.

I was thinking, you just added new fish? Were they quarantined beforehand? I had two angels in my tank for months and introduced three more, the three I bought died within the day and then my original angels started swimming on their sides and then died within the next week.. Maybe the new fish...

Thanks for that, I didn't know they weren't fond of current. I have a spraybar in there right now.. I'll take it out today. Ph is around 7.5. The gold one is only skittish when I come around. I had a hard time taking a picture cause he kept swimming away! He didn't used to be like that.

I agree with Man of fish. Mine wasn't that bad but close. I used Jungle brand Ich treatment and started off with half a dose. Then the next day, as on the bottle, did a water change and dosed a little more. I did almost a full dose the third day and he started looking better. Then just did...

When I had clown loaches and the other fish in the tank had ich, I turned the temperature up they died within days and looked the way you described. Just had one in my 75 gallon and got a new heater the temp went up like 5 degrees and it died after having it forever.:sad: I left the...

Um so I when I first started fishkeeping my brother, who gave me the tank, was like you have to get clown loaches! They play dead! :hey: I was like Oh cool! So a new LFS just opened in my town and I went there. I told the guy I wanted clown loaches and ended up with one clown loach and one...

I'll try to post one tomorrow. Thanks for your help by the way. Now that I'm looking, the gold one has a pointed dorsal fin and the blue has a more rounded one.. Also the gold one is almost 5 inches, I've had him for about 6 months to a year and the blue is like almost 3 inches, and I've had...

Hi all :) I have some sheets of tempered glass and I was wondering if I make a tank, about 40-60 gallons, and make the dimensions around 4ft long 2-2 1/2ft wide and 1ft high, would it be a good idea? My plan would be to make a corydora tank so length and width would be more important than...

I think their possibly both male. If they are stressed, what could I do to make them more comfortable? :sad:
