Sorry about taking so long to get measurements. Gallons: length x width x height 55: 48” x 12” x 20.5” 34: 36 x 18 x 13 20: 24 x 12.5 x 16 10: 20 x 10.5 x 12.5 20 SW: 30 x 12.5 x 12.5 (would prefer to keep this as sw fish qt if possible) My concern with the cory was more that it’s definitely...

Hello, I was hoping to get some advice on tank stocking, or at least bounce around some ideas. No one in my life cares about fish and I have about 5 different ideas of what I want to do. Currents tanks/occupants: 75g SW DT: 1 sunrise dottyback + small CUC + 2 SPS corals 20g SW invert QT: 4 LPS...

We have not gone looking at models yet. I was hoping to possibly get suggestions on what would work best with my fish in mind prior to looking at softeners. I figure its probably easier to know what not to get going in than to try to correct it for my fish afterwards.

After my boyfriend gets his tax return back, we will be buying a whole house water softener. After a year of watching house plants die and buying cut flowers only to have them die within a day, we believe that our well water needs serious adjusting. My biggest concern with getting one is...

Do you have any suggestions for how to do so? I was hoping to net it and put it in a breeding box, but it was too fast and smart for me to get. These were the best I could get during feeding, and I'm pretty sure the only camera that I have is the one on my phone.

A few weeks ago I purchased a pair of rainbowfish (store only had 2 of the type), hoping to find out what they were and buy more. Long story short, I got a lesson on the value of quarantine, and am now ready to buy the rest of the school for my remaining rainbowfish. Would anyone happen to be...

Hello, I am coming to the end of treating for ich and have some white on a neon that doesn't look like ich. The white part sticks up a little bit off the fish, I can't tell if it's just injury from rubbing the rocks or if I brought home another problem. Ammonia: 0 Nitrite: 0 Nitrate: 5-10 Temp...

I am on a well. I retested looking at it vertically and got 18 from the tap, 19 from the tank. I think the 23 may have been from not rinsing out the pipette I use to transfer the water into the tube; I use the same pipette for my fw and sw tests, I had thought my last sampling was from the fw.

Finally had the test come in....and it took 23 drops for the water to change color. The chart only goes up to 12 drops, but was rising at 1 drop= 1 dH, so mine is 23? Can fish even thrive in water that hard?

The guppy passed last night, was completely unbloated when I found him. Is there anything I can do to treat the probable parasite problem in the tank or just wait to see if I can get a better picture if a different fish gets it?

Unfortunately, the day after I took the pictures the white thing was mostly gone. There's a tiny bit still attached, but it's barely discernible from the scales. He has been hanging out on the gravel, hiding under leaves but does come out for food. I noticed today while trying to get a picture...

Would it be advantageous to order a liquid test online? I figured the 18 was useless without units, and thank you for the conversion and help.

Hello, I noticed a few days ago that one of my guppies was bloated and thought along the top looked like it was pineconing slightly, so I thought it had dropsy. Yesterday I noticed that he has a white string coming out from his side. NH3: 0 NO2: 0 NO3: 40 at water change usually Temp: 76F...

Not sure if it's of value or not, but I tried Petsmart again and they gave me a total hardness of 150ppm. Turns out my water also has 0.25 NH3

Sorry about taking forever, the boyfriend has been avoiding going to the pet store. Something about looking at every fish even if we aren't getting one. Petsmart did not have a GH test or anything to test the water. When my bf got our water tested at an actual testing place they said the...

The tank is 47.5" x 11.5" x 20" (tall). I will have to wait until this weekend to pick up a test for the hardness, I'm on a well. I figured the clown loaches were a long shot, couldn't recall if they needed a 4ft or 6 ft tank. Would the hillstream loaches be happy if I put a powerhead in the...

Hi guys, I was hoping to get some help with stocking and scaping my new tank. I am upgrading from a 34 gallon long to a 55 gallon long. I genuinely have no concept of how many fish/what fish I can have in a tank together and have it be something nice to look at. I am planning on having the...

Thank you for the recommendations.  I'll grab a couple more cories and either black or white skirt tetras.  The Glofish are actually from my dad buying my mom random fish before her guppie population took off - since she was then overstocked I took the 3 Glofish that she had to help her make...

Hello,   A few weeks after moving I lost a decent sized fish from my tank, which in truth didn't necessarily belong there, and now I'm missing having more fish swimming around in my tank.   34 Gallon long (36" x 18" x 12") Current stocking: 1 Clown Pleco 1 BN Pleco 1 Albino BN Pleco 4 Cories 3...

If the peas don't work I would try using Epsom salts.  You want to start at 1 tsp/10 gal and slowly work it up to 3 tsp/10 gal. I usually upped it whenever I had to top off my tank (dissolving another tsp into the gallon I was adding,), Just keep track of what you have in there since the salt...

I'm not sure which brand of LED airstone you're getting (and this doesn't answer your question at all), but I got a Marineland one that is more of an air tube with blue and white LEDs and it does not make a curtain nor do the lights light up the tank well and I've actually had a few of the...

Wow, that's a nice looking black moor, I'd love to get one to throw in with my pair of red-capped orandas (yours is lovely btw).

My mom has had ghosts in with her kuhlis and mollies since December, so I'd say those two fish are safe with shrimp (someone previously said they weren't or were not sure if they were).

I love the red and white one, always been partial to red and white fish.  May I ask, what is the adorable creature in the second and fourth pictures?

  Definitely don't do 3 tsp/10 gal every day as that would increase the salt level beyond what your fish can handle.  You want to have in total 1 tsp/10 gal the first day, 2 tsp/10 gal the second day, and 3 tsp/ gal the third day.  So if you're just adding it as a top-off you'd want to put in 1...

I have a critter that has horrible swim bladder problems (re deep-bodied goldfish).  Personally I've found that when I get to the point that you're at I generally add epsom salts (check to make sure no fragrances, just 100% magnesium sulfate) to the water.  You'll want to start at 1 tsp/10 gal...

It is, my family actually used a horse trough heater in our pond this year.

Good, I was hoping they would accept algae wafers.  I guess what I was asking is can they be kept singly or are they a fish that is better kept in groups of some number?
