well, don't want to name every one, but here are the animals: 12 boer goats 76 chickens 5 dogs 6 cats 3 horses

most of the botia genus get really big (like 3'). they will live in coldwater. but can stay in a small tank for a while.

if you want to get rid of the snails buy some botia, they will devour them.

ok, that could very well be the problem, i like sand, but if it is a fine grain, then it could put a film into the water. when you stir it does it release a film? maybe stronger filtration. or a finer grained sand.

what is your substrate? how many gallons per filtration ratio?

http://www.aquahobby.com/gallery/e_kuhli.php here is some info.

how big are they?

hmmm, are they the only fish in there? it could still be a terratory thing, have you moved anything around in the tank recently? new aquascaping?

what size tank is it? they are probably just establishing terratory. nothing to worry about.

if a fish is continuisly pulled backwards, it can't move its gills in and out wich pump the oxygen through the body. so therefore if you would pull it backwards for longer than any fisherman would, then it would drown. p.s. that is very cruel.

severum might get sorta aggressive to the angel, keep your eye on them and see what happens.

aptasia will live with about anything, those darn things won't die!!

won't work here either! :(

that looks ok, make sure that the sand is fairly course, as it will be better all around

probably worms, just buy some wormer and heavily worm him.

naturally guppies and tetras appear in large groups of about 50 or more. well naturally you can't replicate that in your tanks, but they do feel more secure in a group of 6 or more as a generall rule.

hope this helps!!!!!!!!

BIOTOPE AQUARIA -- Updated December.7.2004 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A biotope aquaria is an aquarium that is set-up to simulate a natural habitat. The fish, plants, water chemistry, and furnishings are similar to those that can be found...

PLANT CARE Live aquarium plants are a worthwhile addition to the fish tank. In a well planted tank, the fish have better colors, live a more natural life, and appear more comfortable than in an unplanted tank. Though they need more care than plastic replicas, live plants can be kept with few...

do you want to do a biotope or anything like that, those are the best. if you wanted a planted biotope w/ cories, do amazon. as for the plant/sand idea. get a large grain sand, trust me from experience. add flourite underneath the sand for nourishment. about a 1" layer of flourite w/ a 1"...

me tooo, then you can have DISCUS !!!!!!!!!

sounds like swimmbladder to me to. it is not contageous, but if your fish get it, give them a mild salt bath, and feed them frozen or live foods. this should solve the problem.

yeah :lol:

yes, brine shrimp = sea monkeys probably buy a better and cheaper kit at you LFS, just look for artemia, or brine shrimp. good luck!

aggressive loaches: tiger loach and fire loach would fit in w/ aggressive fish. aggressive fish: severums convicts oscars (not w/ loaches) terrors my personal favorite would be severums they are beautiful!!!

oh, p.s. some good tankmates as listed above are: convicts jack dempseys terrors oscars about any fish that is the same size as the sev. none of these will work well unless they are about the same size

SEVERUMS WITH TETRAS?!? I have to disagree! severums are very aggressive fish, and shouldn't go with any small fish like tetras. "patti_n_jojo" you need to be more careful about the advice you give!

in my experience, rams like to be in groups of 6 or more, solitary, or in a pair. 40 gallon would be plenty big enough, that combination should be fine. hatchetfish like to be in large groups also, along with neons. you just got a bunch of schoolers! good luck. p.s. you might want to put...

well ccg, personally i'd fill it with discus, but thats just me. you said you were on a tight budget so i wouldn't suggest discus, as they will cost you a pretty penny. you said you had a tank full of barbs, do you want more smaller aggressive fish, will this be a discplay tank, what kind of...

i have found botia macracanthus and synodontis multipunctatus to be the best snail eaters ever! they shouldn't bother your corys. good luck.

that looks like it would work ok. how big are the gouramis? don't put him in if they are to big, it will cause trouble. i know some on here will say not to. but as i had said before do some trials with him and see if he does ok with them. if he doesn't just take him out.

i do beg to differ. i know bettas in the wild are solitary fish, but i've had plenty of bettas in with other fish. (female bettas, guppies, tetras, catfish, angels) and they did fine. Now as said before, all bettas are different, but don't throw the idea out completely. do some trials. see...

???Pictures??? :D

as "lateral line" said, almost any fish will school. they need plenty of area, some of those fish are: >tetras (any kind) >barbs (almost any, usually the smaller ones) >cichilds (angelfish, discus, africans,hatchetfish, etc.) >guppies (about the only schooling livebearer i can think of lol)...

don't know about painting the sides, but maybe a plecostomus?

Well, about the runners, that is usually a sign your plant is healthy. the shedding of the leaves.... almost all plants (I know about swords for sure) shed their leaves once a year and regrow new ones, this might be what it is. Don't worry, i don't think that if it is sending out runners...

RIP :rip:

hey ya'll, newbie here, forums looks good. My favorite fish is discus. have 12 tanks, 5 planted. have a herd of boer goats, 76 chickens, 3 horses, 4 dogs, 2 cats, and ofcourse, lots of fish, discus, angelfish, rams, some tetras, but mainly discus. -tyler
