I believe the syno's will eat your other stock

my aquaclear 200 filter has been running for 5 years with the original media (sponge and bio) and impeller/shaft/motor. I haven't invested a penny in that filter in 5 years. I clean it every month or so and it still runs as smoothly and silently as new. I love Hagen products (Except the Fluval...

I believe yu could add more tetras depending on your shark, cories as well!

that thing sure is expensive... i've used Kent's nitrate sponge as media to remove nitrates. bacteria would colonise the media and remove nitrates. Not sure how well it worked though I've stopped though as I still need to do water changes weekly to remove all the waste on the bottom.

American Flag Fish will eat it. Males are stunning as well. They're killifish, scientific name is jordenella floridae i think they are small, about 1 inch long i put mine in a tank and didn't feed for 2-3 days. they'd eaten most of it. If you want alot, get only male and the rest females as...

i would add cories perhaps 4 or 5 peperred cories

there are hundreds of type of algea eaters many are too small and will be eaten by the oscar though. Youd need larger plecos probably

you need to introduce fish asap just letting food to rot will not be enough to keep a tank cycled. what i'd do is set up the tank without the filter. add the filter and go fish shopping immediately. stock to about 25% and add an extra 25% every week for a month, as long as all readings are...

i'd look at the ingredients trouts are more carnivourous i believe so there pellets would be mostly meat with little to no veggies. and watch out for the fat contents as well as they're cold water fish

the most silent air pump i bought was a rena. it was a bit more expensive but extremely silent operating. the filter did get clogged though and then it became noisy. i just do without air pumps now.

IMO, that filter alone will not be anough, giving about 2.5 tunrover rate an hour. if the stock in your signature is correct, the tank is lightly stocked though so it might do for now. However, I'd gor with a filter that will turnover your water at least 5 times an hour, meaning about 750lph...

Your tank is fully stocked and the new tank will be fully stocked as well. the oscar will reach 10cm within a few months, probably 1 or 2 tops. the bristlenose will most likely become fish food once the cichlids grow a little.

i would leave it as is, no room for endlers IMO don't mix assassin snails with apple snail as it will be killed.

fish don't need alot of food. if you feed every day, thye should be all right. they will get what they need. if the endlers are bloated, you mgiht actually be feeding too much, which is alot worse than underfeeding IMO.

i'd think heaters in most, if not every tank is a must though as not all fish like it the same temp heat the room to 76-77 but then some tanks will be warmer. i would also have to figure out a way to auto dechlor water as it is pumping in the tanks and have a sort of auto change feature where...

sounds to me this pet store is swapping out the more powerful heaters with cheaper ones and probably selling the heater afterward... if they won't give you what is yours, i'd refuse to buy from them

as long as the heaters have a thermostat, you'll be fine only issue is if one of the heaters thermostat goes berserk, you'll cook the fish. i'd say the 200 watt alone would be sufficient but run both if you wish!

how long will the move take? I've moved twice now. biggest i had to move were a 12 inch pleco and 13 inch oscar for the pleco, i put him in a big tupperware container filled halfway with water and a tight lid. the oscar was a lot more complicated. I put him in a a 5 gallon bucket filled 3/4. He...

if you rinse the bath properly before soaking it i'm pretty sure there won't be any soap residue left. as for tannins, i've soaked wood in plastic buckets and it didn't stain it. any stains left in the bathtub should be washable IMO if you don't want to risk it, put them in a garbage bin or...

how big is the tank?

if you get a deep sand bed, 3 inches or more, you rune the chance of getting anaerobic bacteria that will produce gas pockets in the sand if this gas is lethal to the fish if it accumulates and is released all at once. malaysian trumpet snails stir up the sand so prevent this from hapenning...

it will be hard to black the gaps the fish most are most likely staying there hiding and i'm pretty sure they can get out of it, otherwise they would've had a hard time getting in.

We drive economical cars now. Gas usually costs over a dollar a litre in canada now and lord knows we have to travel far to get anywhere! most compacts have 1.6l to 2.4l engines on topic, great ornate!

i'm pretty sure vinegar would be safe as somme people clean their tansk with it but i'm not sure how well turtles support it... perhaps get a new heater if it is stained.

agree with hole in the head there's a tpoic about it on the forums and is pretty common, especially with oscar fish

an oily film will sometimes appear in tanks, depending on the type of food you give. I have it in most of my tanks and believe the frozen foods i feed cause it. i also believe it is caused by some sort of protein but don't quote me on that it will diminish the oxygen exhange between the air and...

:hi: Cichlids are usually good parents, sometimes even becoming agressive while protecting them. I must ask though, do you have food available for the tiny ones like microworms or infusoria? if you have some sort of live vegetation, infusoria will live in the tank and the fry will feed of them...

i say the angels have eaten them, and will eat the rest as well shortly.

i have a tank with identical surface area. I put in 60 kilos i believe but 75 would've been better as a bit deeper bed makes it less probably you'll have open areas on the bottom. don't look at tank volume if you compare to another tank, look at surface area. you 112g is 6 sq. feet. compare...

nice dwarf community Only issue I see is the clowns, they'll outgrow the tank but should be fine for a few years in a 3 footer!

convicts to have a bump i believe... can't remember for sure

i bred convicts to feed my oscar a few years ago. it was a 20 gallon high species tank Went to the shop, saw i tank full of 1 inch convicts labelled at 4$ each. offerred the guy 3$ for six and he agreed since i told him someone probably just dumped them at the store and he didn't pay for them...

it'd be interesting to keep a full grown specimen in a pond. imagine having a 4 footer swimming around and having to throw 5 pounds of meat every week to feed it! That is one mean fish. I'd keep my hands out of the tank if I had one of those in it. lol

the oscar and angel will most likely enoy the new snails :)

i doubt the fertiliser would bother the cycling. unless something in there neutralises ammonia or nitrites, shouldn't be any issues!

Sometime yesterday evening, 2 of my rams spawned. I had noticed a pair had formed and were protecting a side of the tank. I left for the evening and when I cam back, they had dug out a pit and cleaned off a rock which was now full of tiny eggs. Having no way to feed them, I decided to let them...

i'd skip the larger cichlids, even the severum, as they'll most likely eat your smaller stock like mollies and danios. only exception would be more angels

guppies are funny fish, they enjoy strong current as long as they have somewhere to rest that filter should be just fine

what kind of cichlid are we talking about? most cichlids end up coming at the surface after a few days.

excellent the cylcing should be complete within a few days if you dose at 5ppm
