Yes I can understand, but not even a bigger school of silver dollars for the time being, and once the arowana gets bigger I can see what I want to do.I don't want areas of the tank to look bare, and if the arowana is up top, the stngrays below, I feel like I need more fish in the middle. I will...

Hello everybody. I have a question regarding motoro stingray tankmates. I have three motoro stingrays in a 75 gallon bare bottom tank, with 3 silver dollars, and a 5-6 inch arowana. The stingrays average around 6 inches in diameter. I also have a 125 gallon tank, and I am going to move all of...

Oh, do you mean PH? Mine is 7.6, I guess you could say moderate, that's what comes out of my tap, and that's what's in both of my tanks.

My test kit does not have GH, why would I need to know that?

Ok, so I'll just buy a 6500k two-foot bulb to complement the 5000. So would you recommend the fertilizer or the tabs, I will just be using play sand most likely. Also, what about the plants like swords and java ferns that I cannot use the tabs for? I know you mentioned the fertilizer can cause...

ok, so can I do two 6500k's or just do one. Also, it says on the website based on three hours a day. Here's the link: https://www.homedepot.com/p/17-Watt-2-ft-Linear-T8-Fluorescent-Light-Bulb-Daylight-Deluxe-6500K-ALTO-431998/204384429 And by the way, I think I made a mistake and these are the...

Yes I know, but it's a sun sun powerhead and you can't turn it down. I might just take it off of the 75 completely and leave it the one on the 125 with the larger fish. Ok so can I just do water changes of 50% once a week on the big tank, and 30% on the 75 gallon? Can I put the tabs on every...

Ok, Byron so you use both the root tabs and the Flourish correct? I have two light fixtures, so I need two 2 foot bulbs. Also when you put the root tabs on the roots, you just put it into the play sand if that's what I go with, or do I need a layer of gravel? I can maybe get rid of the severums...

What about frozen sardines by Hikari from the freezer at fish stores? Does that work just as well? Also, I don't think you answered this yet, but if I have a Fluval Canister 306 and a 406 along with an Aqueon HOB 75 to filter the 125 gallon tank with the Arowana, the 3 stingrays which are far...

I'm not looking to get rid of my sand anymore, but thanks anyway

Ok, so the two T8 bulbs I have but the spectrum on them isn't enough? So can you send me a link of the light bulb with the spectrum, the root tabs and the fertilizer that you use? Also, I just am interested in relatively easy plants that require low light anyways. I also have 6 decent sized...

Oh wow, I like it. The light tubes I got are from home depot, so I probably need to change them. Can you show me what you use as a fertilizer for your plants? Also in a planted tank like that do you do the water change once a week or is that too much? So if I get another bag of play sand, and...

Ok, thanks. Is pool filter sand rougher than play sand or something? Because my LFS told me it may have rough edges, but I think I told them by accident I had pool filter sand. Also, I am talking about plants for another tank, a 75-gallon community tank I am going to move all the fish I...

So based on the link I gave above, do you think that bag of play sand could scratch the rays? If it is not, I guess I would have to get a strainer and scoop it out. Also, I am going to put sand into the 75-gallon tank and make it a planted tank. However, last time I did this all my plants died...

I actually have 3 corydoras in there at the moment, by the way, Colin I figured out the issue and I used Pimifix for it along with aquarium salt, it was some sort of a bacterial infection. I am doing a 7-day treatment, and then I'll be good to go. So back to what we were talking about, I had a...

Ok, yeah I have the tan version of play sand. Personally, by looking at it, I think it will work like I mentioned before I had a teacup stingray in there and it did fine. Also, another thing is like I don't understand what they mean when everyone says that there are sharp edges in the sand, I...

Hello everyone, So I have been wondering, is home depot play sand safe for stingrays? I have 3 Motoro rays in a 75-gallon tank bare bottom, and I am looking to move them over to my 125 gallon tank which has play sand I have had in there for over a year. It looks as though it is safe, and I once...

Do you have an email I can send it to, the videos when I put them on YouTube never have good quality

file:///var/folders/t5/k4xmqljs339dlw93wffs8scw0000gn/T/IMG_1493%202.mov I think I have the answer here, the fish has red gills and it just twitched in front of me, copy and paste that link.

Also, I did the thing you told me to do to test for Velvet, and there is nothing, except for on my congo tetras, which are greenish gold, to begin with. I think we can narrow it down to gill flukes, and if I am wrong it's not like I am treating with medication anyways. Forgot to tell you that...

OK, so can I use sand from home depot or Lowes? Also, let's assume its neither velvet or gill flukes, will the salt still take care of whatever it is. I am going to use API Salt. 50% on both tanks, and should I still turn the temperature up? Also, have you heard of this medication known as Prazi...

Well to answer the first question, I did not add sand because I was told it would be easier to clean with bare bottom, and that play sand and has sharp edges and can cut the stingray's bellies. I could always add it if I wanted to. Yeah, I am looking for a floating plant to get, I can find one...

Thanks you man you are very knowledgeable. However I still don’t think it’s velvet, I will try the salt, but will that affect the clown loaches? Does the salt have to be done with the water change, and my tank is already set at 80-82 so how much hotter does it need to be. Also, here is the...

here's the funny thing, I've been using the hose for the water change on both tanks and no issues. And I already told you, I checked for every single parasite, there is nothing on the fish, no velvet. Gill fungus I don't see anything either. I am going to post a video on youtube for you to see...

So, for a few weeks now I have been randomly losing fish one or two at a time constantly. I have a great deal of experience in the hobby, been doing it for almost 10 years, and I have a 125-gallon community tank that consists of platys, Roseline sharks, gold Severums, angelfish, tetras, danios...

Yes I agree, but money has to be factored in somewhere. Would you rather have your stingray die or your tetras. Neither, but if you had to pick one then it would be the tetras. We as hobbyists also have to understand that the more expensive fish unfortunately are the most important. We can say...

Ok two things. I've had the discus for 1 year actually, it's been a month since the death of my last teacup ray. I have 8 roseline barbs, never caused me problems with the other ray either. And the previous teacup ray only started to get bullied a few days in, before that it was eating, healthy...

the tank is 6 feet in length. Forgot to mention that I'm giving the clown loaches away, hence the reason I didn't mention them in my stock list. And by "Large" fish, I'm talking about fish that catch the eye, like roseline sharks. I'm not talking about fish like oscars lol. Fish that can coesist...

So this thread is going to be discussing freshwater stingrays in general. About a month ago I purchased a teacup stingray for my community tank with Discus, thinking they would get along. Contrary to popular beliefs, the discus nipped at the ray’s disc and killed it. A month layer, I’ve gotten a...

Ok so here's a brief picture of my tank from far away:

Ok, so I've seen many people keep rainbows with discus fine. I'm pretty sure that my LFS had them in a pH around 7.5. And these fish have been compatible together for half a year, it's just a problem with the own mini-society of the discus. The other fish have been living fine. I can check the...

Oh yeah and 1x Kribensis dwarf cichlid

ok sure. Ammonia- 0 ppm Nitrite- 0 ppm Nitrate- 20 ppm (Before I do my water change) PH- 7.0 (They are used to this) Hardness- Never tested this Fish: 1x Wild green discus, 2x cobalt discus, 1x Marlboro red, 1x snakeskin discus, 8x Roseline sharks, 6x clown loaches, 7x congo tetras, 20x...

Hello everyone, I’m new to the forums. So I’m gonna begin my first post with a bit of a bang. My Discus are driving me crazy. It all started in August after I got back from vacation, I found two of my 11 dead. I have a 125 gallon tank, discus, angelfish (Small), tetras, rainbows, clown loaches...
