I need urgent help on this one. I noticed what seemed to be dust on my entire tank hood and filter top, including all over the canister of food that was sitting on the back of the hood. I took a wet towel and wiped it off and much as I can when I noticed the specks were moving! It seems to be...

I need some help with one of my corys. I've noticed above his mouth there seems to be something that looks as if he has grazed off his skin. HE also seems to be itching it by rubbing it against the gravel at times. I can't explain too well so I took some pics. Please help me by letting me know...

I found this lamp on a website the other day. Just thought I'd share with all my other crazy-about-bettas friends. http://www.lampsplus.com/Products/Table-La...9/page_6/49704/

I recently (about 2 weeks ago) purchased a Penguin Biowheel 200 Filter (Marineland) to replace my Aquaclear 50 but I have been experiencing a problem. At times all the water would empty from the filter and it would be making this clicking noise, I guess because its empty. After about a minute...

Hey guys, I have a 20g high stocked with about 7 corys and 3 livebearers. Right now (and for the past year) I'm running an Aqua Clear 50 Power Filter but it has started to leak somehow. I need to buy a new filter but I was thinking....is there a better filter that I can buy, like maybe another...

Albino cory cats- Yes Platies- Yes swordtails- Yes pleco- yes neon tetra- no fancy guppies- no endlers- No female betta- NO

I have one of my boys is the 20g listed in my signature, he chased and flared at the other fish for a little (he wasnt used to having other fish swim by him), then he settled and kept to himself. He's been there for over a week now...no problems.

E for Endlers!

How do you get the fish in and out of this jar?

I added one of my bettas to my community tank yesterday and watched for a while. The tank's occupants are swords, platys & corys. The betta would chase after any of the fish that swam by him and flare at them (even the corys). I figured it was because he was accustomed to being alone. He doesnt...

I agree...I did that once and the betta was very happy:

I do a major clean about once every three months. Take everything out except the gravel and fish (sometimes I take the fish out too, about twice a year).

Here's my 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland.

I have a 20g community and I need to get rid of one of my little betta tanks, so I was thinking of putting the betta in the community tank but he usually eats Bio-Gold pellets and I am wondering how will I feed him that with all the other fish around. :/

Add some Stress Coat to replace whatever slime he's lost...along with the little salt.

My bettas (infact all my fish) love them!

Does anyone here have a betta in a community tank? I was wondering how do you feed the betta?

Does anyone use Hikari Sinking Carnivore Pellets to feed corys? I know its made for Carnivorous bottom feeders which I dont really think corys are (I could be wrong). Any experiences/ advice about feeding my 7 corys (3 Albino, 3 Sterbai & 1 Bronze) this product?

I've had my first bunch of guppy and molly fry about a year ago. I kept them all and raised them. After that bunch, whenever I find fry (usually within a week after they're born) I feed them to my bettas. I know its cruel but I dont have room to raise them, besides, I'm trying to get rid of my...

I am so sorry I didnt realize it was so big..thought it was the same size as the other one... :crazy:

He's cute...looks like my eldest boy Midnite:

Here are some pics of my boys in their homes: In this image you can see the 2 aquaviews and the 2.5g mini-bow. I've since changed the gravel in the aquaviews to blue marbles and the gravel in the 2.5 to river rocks. This is what the 2.5g looks like with the river rocks but its not divided...

I have 8: 5 Crowntails: Starlite, Strabrite, Frosty, Sunshine & Flash 3 Veiltails: Rusty, Rufus & Midnite No plans on getting more...dont have enough time to take care of them by myself.

I'm seriously considering switching my blue gravel to black Tahitian Moon sand. Does anyone with corys have that in their tank as substrate? Any good or bad experiences? My corys are my favorite fish and I want to do my research before making such a big change for them. The other fish might not...

I usually do mine about 25% once a week or sometimes when I'm lazy I do a 50% once every two weeks.

I was thinking maybe 1 inch depth so maybe one 20lb bag. I hope it looks good because right now hubby doesnt want me to switch the gravel, he says I'll probably mess up the tank. I dont want him to be right.

I only named my 8 betta boys.

I guess I'm thinking of switching to sand for a more natural look and since I have 7 corys, they should love it. PS. I get bored easily and like changing around things in the tank.

Just to get an idea what the black sand will look like:

I just read the pinned topic about changing from gravel to sand and I was just wondering...I have a 20g high tank, how many lbs of sand would I need to buy? And do you think Tahitian Moon Black Sand or Moonlight White Aquarium Sand would look better in my tank? I've attached a current picture of...

I've been feeding Live Tubifex worms to both my community tank and my bettas for months now and thankfully they never got any disease. I think it depends on where you buy the worms from and how they cultured them. I buy my worms from a small lfs where the guy keeps them in a container with...

I'm not sure what their growth rate is but that particular one has been in the tank for almost a year...she started out the size of the albinos you see there. She was the only oen to survive my cory deaths I had at the beginning of summer. I could find the sterbais together alot but I rarely...

fish_newbie that 5g hex looks nice....too bad its empty now.

I feed twice a day...in the mornings about 8:30 and evenings about 8:00.

I have a 1 gallon tank with a betta in it on my desk at work...the picture isnt that clear because I took it using my crummy camera phone.

Thanks. They're fake...I really dont have enough time to dedicate to real plants. They dont stress the fish out at all. The corys love picking at them.

Home Alone & Bored...took a few pics of my 20g community tank...what do you guys think?

Do you guys have pictures of your very first tank? I was browsing thru my old pics and found mine and thought it would be interesting to see all of your beginners tanks...Please post. Very First Setup (10g): After re-arranging and adding new plants: Edit: I dont have this tank up and...

Just did a waterchange and noticed all my corys are together so I decided to get some group shots since they're all usually at different corners of the tank: :wub:

I once used a pretzel jar to house a betta..held almost 1.5g... I also use a square strainer to rinse gravel.
