I always put a little bowl or container filled with the old substrate in the back corner of the tank for a few weeks if your worried about bacteria or ammonia spikes(don't know if it really helps but I rest a little easier!).. I was also thinking you could maybe put sand over the gravel if your...

Hi Everyone! I have one gold gourami and one blue gourami. They were both in my 30 gallon tank but I moved them to my 10 gallon with 6 kuhli loaches because the convict I had in the 30 was bullying everyone. While in the 10 gallon, they both started hiding at the bottom of the tank. More so the...

Hi, I believe its a synodontis robertsi. Someone may correct me though.

Okay thanks :good:

Thanks for replying so quickly! :) I had considered that and I figured thats what I'd have to do. However, the only thing with that is will the 30 gallon be fine without a filter for a few days/week? I really can wait I just want to change the substrate and arrange it differently which would...

Hi :) I just have a quick question.. I tried researching but wasn't satisfied with what I found. I recently got a 75 gallon up and done cycling, I want to move all the fish I have in my 30 gallon to it but if there are no fish how long will my filter bacteria survive? The 30 gallon is...

The one on my left is the one I was talking about, colors all faded, theres some haze and the lines were never crisp to begin with :/ I still love it. The one on the right I got a few years ago!

Haha thank you! Don't worry I have one on my foot that was my first, I was young and my uncle who is not a professional did it. I shall post some pictures of it in a bit. It does have personal meaning though, I would never get it retouched since my uncle did it. I'm most proud of the mermaids :)

Thank you!! :blush:

Hi guys! This is my mermaid tattoo. My sign is gemini so I wanted two women. It also means eternal life ones alive and ones dead. Plus, I love it! This was after the first session. This is the second session, I have one more to go. Hope you guys like it :)

I just got done washing play sand! I mixed mine with fluorite black sand for plants so I didn't have to spend so much. I have it in all of my tanks and I love it. You just have to wash it a lot. I usually rinse it for a while and then mist on top of it to see if the water stays clear, then...

Thanks :) I definitely agree on the bubbles, I think I'm going to try something like that. I wasn't sure if I liked it in there.

Thanks for the reply! I really like that idea. I'll post another picture once I figure out what I'm going to do. I just got most of the taller plants so hopefully everything starts growing good and filling in. Anyone else have any other ideas to consider?

Hi, I was hoping someone could suggest how I can move this stuff around. I did like it but I feel like it looks cluttered. I was going for sand being higher on one side with more stuff, sloping lower with and more open. I still need to get the light so I have some makeshift ones right now. It...

+1 for cleaning your tank! I think its some type of synodontis catfish for sure but I'm not sure which one.

Ok I was just trying to help, I had a hard time finding any full setups online that were close enough for pickup only.

I figured when I was looking for my 30 gallon that if I buy it off of craigslist or ebay or something chances are it doesn't come with a heater, filter and a light. I ended up getting a 29 gallon from walmart. It was about $100 and came as a kit with a light filter and heater. They have them at...

I think I got it. I want to do 4-6 German Blue Rams, 10 Marbled Hatchetfish, and 15-20 zebra danios. Anyone have any comments? I just wanna make sure everyone gets along.

Hi I wanna see what you guys think and what you would do.. I have a 75 gallon tank. x1 bristlenose pleco x2 pictus catfish x1 featherfin synodontis x1 ropefish Their all super mellow. option#1- I could do a shoal of clown loaches because I've fallen in love with them, and just upgrade when...

Yes you are right lol, I would have included you although your post didn't show up until after I posted mine. I agree with you didn't mean to leave you out! :D

What onidrase said is completely right. I just wanted to add an experience I had that taught me about temperature fluctuation. When I got my first tank it was already set up (I moved into an upstairs apartment and they didn't want to move it) and it had a heater that was set to about 80...

I was given my first 30 gallon tank by my brother. I was freaking out because he was like yeah just change the filter every once in a while. I knew it wasn't that easy especially because he has had a lot of fish die. Then I went and bought a whole bunch of fish and after buying them I found this...

This is my cat Zazu :)

A shoal of marble or silver hatchetfish! I think they're a little different and beautiful to look at. :)

Your welcome :) Yeah, I've read that they don't get along well at all. You could just google it and do some farther research if your set on having more than one. But I just read a thread that said they bought 3 BGKs twice and one killed the other two both times. I dunno, its a chance you'd...

Hi, First of all, I would advise you get a 55-75 gallon tank or bigger. They can grow up to 2 feet long and have a rigid back to where they cant bend well so they need a tank big enough for them to comfortably turn around in. I have an aquaclear 110 filter on my 75 gallon tank. Also they are...

Convicts are beautiful but are horrible, I would advise you didn't. Even the females. I got a male and a female and they both just pick on all the other tank mates and each other. The female is in a 75 gallon tank and still feels the need to pick on everyone. I had to put the male in my 10...

Winn 8-)

I know! I feel so bad but I ended up getting him by accident a few months ago before I knew they should be in groups. I hope to be getting at least 5 more pandas and 6 julis, as I've fallen in love with the lil cuties.

Thanks for the reply :) I have a gold gourami and a blue one. I wasn't sure if the gold one should go into the 75 gallon or not.. Also could I add anything else to the 75 gallon? Everythings still pretty small and I feel it wont be much to look at and everyone mostly hides during the day. Any...

Hi, I need to figure out how to split all of my fish up so that they are all happy. I want to list all the fish i currently have and see what everyone thinks about where to put them, or which to find new homes for. I have two 30 USG tanks one 10 USG that will probably become a QT tank, and I'm...

Awe, well it will be one more thing to look forward to when you get back! :hey: Safe travels!

I'm thinking blue! A darker blue though, black would also look good. I think the blue would make your wood stand out more, as well as the plants and fish. The black would make the fish and plants awesome but the wood may blend in more.. Just my thoughts! Either would be nice, just give it a...

:lol: Haha he was so busted. Beautiful destructive fishes. I love the featherfin too!

:kana: I can feel it this time! Your getting so close lol don't give upp. :fish:

I really hope all goes well! :nod:

Nooo youu dont! :lol:

It was supposed to be a trick! I like pointless games :D

Hi all, I have a ghost knife fish and he is about 4 inches long so far. I'm getting a 75 gallon tank within the week and i was wondering if anyone has had experience with larger knife fish, as i'm concerned about stocking. He pretty much stays to himself but seems to be getting more aggressive...

Come on everyone, this is dumb. Don't you have better things to be doing? ahm..I win.. :angel:
