Good luck to you fishkeeping can be a lot of fun.!!!! Aaron is cute, Are you trying to keep him single or are you going to get a female?

I like how the article said they are "status symbol" That will make me feel better next time I spend $ at the LFS.

I thought it would just be cool to see what everyone thought but after reading all the posts. I think we all would get more grief if we weren't so good at hiding our addiction!!!!! We sound like wolves waiting to pounce on the first person that "gets us" lololol At least we all have TFF...

Atlanta is a tough town on fish keepers.

I like sand but every now and again I get an algea green tint to my gravel. What do you do with the sand to clean it ? I just turn over the gravel, does that work for sand? It always seemed that it would stay greeny.

I wanted to do this as a poll but I couldn't figure it out. Who gives you the most headach about your fish habit a. hubby /wife/or whoever you are dating b kids c sister/bro/ mom/ dad d co workers/friends e inlaws F other For me it tends to be E any time I talk about starting a new tank or...

I bought a chuck of drift wood screwed to some slate at my LFS(I cleaned it before putting it in the tank). things were fine but I looked today and it has a white slime. I scraped it as best I could but I just looked and its still there. What could it be ?? Stac

Okay I don't see a problem with the auction however I do think adding ADULT size might help. But As someone said if you are buying this fish at that price you should have a clue! I hope

Ok I have a 20 high and it was fully stocked things were great then.....mass ick death lost all my fish. I was really upset as this was my 1st major loss in a long time. I have had fish my whole life, and had 9 monthes earlier made the jump to more $$$$ fish . So there I was looking at my 3...

Ok I just bought 2 1m 1f guppies for my daughters 5 gallon. It is a new set up. I also put in an otto. Now I'm not new to this fish keeping thing. I seeded the tank with a filter sponge from my tank a handful of gravel from my tank and declored the water, temp fine and when I check the water...

[sucked in becuase the current becuase mine have done that a couple of times but they have been saved becuase they have been strong enough to swim out themselves! Where did they get sucked up?? the in take is on the bottom. the area that they might be able to go into is water flowing into the...

Ok I took a better look at this filter but I don't get it.... do you "cycle" your tank every time you change the cartridge? I didn't see where any sponge or wheel or anything stays in the fitler when you change to a new cartidge. Oh why couldn't marineland just make the bigger eclipes with coll...

Ok My kids have talked me into letting them have a tank in their room. I didn't want to go crazy. So I found a 5 gallon plastic tank (brightly colored ) kit, it comes with an whisper in tank filter. I don't know anything about this type of filter, I use biowheel in my big tanks. I wanted to...

I think its great that you have someone looking out for fish over there. I had a problem with a LFS here and I called a good LFS to find out where to call to report them and was told that there really isn't a group that looks out for fish here in the US.

I'm not into fish suffering but if our fish weren't in our tanks they would be eating other fish. So to me its more of a natural thing than cruel. I guess you can argue that the feeders can't "get away" but to me it seems like there are other things that would be more cruel. Sir aren't you in...

If you do use it for your tropical tank does the tank get all cloudy when you use the gravel vac? I like to " Play" around with the decor and sometimes swoosh the bottom to make small particles waterborne. I am going to setup another tank and I was thinking about sand but I wasn't sure about...

I bet your glad you didn't find them and buy a whole bunch only to run into the "UK Fish Police" on your way out the door!!!!! That would really be a, "you live and learn" situation. :rofl: S

Ok I get it different strokes for different folks. It still drives me crazy but I'll stop b***hing about the decor. But I will still be pissy about the lack of hiding areas for the fish as well as the lack of light for 80 %of the day and night. I do however compliment those of you that use...

My friend is really into fish and like my hubby his wife isn't really into it. So it is nice that he got back into the hobby. Until the other day I had not seen his 46 up and running. I had only been able to talk fish combo and filter ETC. So anyway I get to see his tank and ....... Walk into...

Ok Here it goes. All winter all I could do was sit and stare at my tanks and fuss over every little detail. Never missed by a day for a water change actually had to hold myself off from doing them. Water testing, feeding , cleaning, research, TFFing, and countless trips to the LF just to see...

I thought she was going to video you or something or was that someone other than her?

Okay I know this isn't a fish post but so many people have been involved with Littlefishies Marineland job I thought it would be okay. I went to Marineland today with my son and his friend. And saw the "JEster " She did a really good job :kana: and trust me the turn out today was bad so she...

I know that 10 is small but with that said I talked to a few people on TFF that agreed that if I stayed right on top of things it would be okay. I have a bunch of plants in the back, area in front to swim a bit of current and a couple "cave" for each. I keep Ph right where it should be no...

SW = Saltwater . Don't worry I didn't have a clue about all the letters for quite bit when I joined. People forget that others aren't in the know so to speak.

thanks I'll have to check that site out and maybe get her to as well. I think I said in another post that I thought I might do this setup as well. What are your thoughts on me running this then setting up the " big tank" (I don't have one at present but am working on getting one ) and moving...

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Ok here is my run down. 2 m and F Ram in with 4 tetra (ember) and 1 otto cat. in my 10 gal ( I know its on the small side but I stay on top of water changes and such and there is a ton of space to hide and swim) Fish added 2month ago. Ok things were really going well. Both rams were healthy...

Boy I like Cichlids to but with a tank and the setup your going to do I'd go SW !!! Good luck though Cichlids are fun to keep they remind me of a puppy !!!

Where should we sit for the show. Who do I brag you up? I also getting the season pass so we will...

If you make it here you should check it out its in Tonawanda. They put ads in some of the aquatic mag, and I think they have a thread in the NY section. At fist I thought they were lacking in Customer service but soon found out that they just are a bit annoyed ans the " can I put a school of...

I don't think she is going to pass so hopefully MY research will help her not make any huge mistakes but in SW even little ones are huge so who knows ??? I guess the filter thing is a hurdle for my coming from FW. To me its Tank = Filter hanging on back no exception !!!!

Okay so you don't think he jumped even though this nice group of people told it could, and has happened before so what do you want us to say?? "I think it displaced its cells and swam through the glass ( you know glass is a liquid of sort)" Sorry to sound annoyed but what do you want us to...

No she had boyfriend that had a tank but that was years ago. She wants a nemo tank. I just read a post with someone doing the same thing, she was going to add table salt! For a sec I thought it might be her but she didn't want a puffer.lol Why don't people do the reaserch I mean its not like...

Ok really confused 1st what will the clown use for shelter ? I thought with out an anemone they would be stressed? 2nd How would a biowheel add to a nitrate problem? (the LFs said you could use one ) and if you clean it all the time wouldn't you loose your biological filter? 3rd if you nix the...

Took the words right out of my mouth !!!!!!

Hi My friend wants to setup a tank for her 3yr old and asked some question of me cuz she knows I'm setting up a reef tank next yr and am in the research stage. Bet you can guess what she wants with a 3 yr old in the mix in a 20 long Drum roll 2 clown fish aka nemo ( I know eye roll)...

Whats a little LR between family. :rofl: Add more to your tank and 2 yrs will just fly by. :D But honest here if I set up a 100 gal; with say 90 lb of LR and I buy a mandarian that will take freeze/dried food can I add him the second my tank is stable. Or are they not hardy enough to go in as...

As far as ph goes I have a 10 that has rams in it and before I add water I match the ph to my tank. But the main tank it isn't a prob but what about declor. the water still comes from tap right?
