Thanks for the pics! Keep them coming if you have them. Darkentity, can you ship me some of that sand?

I'm getting ready to set up a 55gal aquarium. I want to go with sand, but I'm not sure what kind. I've searched google and the forum. If possible, I'd like the members to post different pics of aquariums with different types of sand so I can compare. If you have experience with the different...

This will not help you now, but in the future. I have a small plastic cup that I use to thaw frozen food in. I mix the food with some water, and let it sit for a few minutes. Once the food is warm, I gently sink the cup below the water level. My clown loachs, RTBS, and some of the tetras(The...

I currently have 4 clown loaches. They are very sociable, and they are out playing all of the time. They have a lot of shelter among the rocks and plastic plants. They do nap alot during the day, but if they hear me in the room, they wake up and start to look for the food. Mine will eat...

That's norml behaviour. Many fish will change color when reacting to stress.

I have no experienve with the Lee's. I like the Python. I have had some other products from Lee's and they were nice. I can't imagine it would be a bad product. let us know.

With proper maintence, and water changes, you should be ok. If you increase the bioload, you will want to upgrade.

I had some together, and never had problems.

I have a RTBS with my silver dollars. It would occasionally graze on the silver dollars. It never seemed to bother the other fish, and it looked like some would let him. Others would just swim away. It never seems to cause any problems. As was mentioned above, RTBS' can have very different...

Mine get along fine. The clowns do at times seem to bother the RTBs, but he just swims away. It looks like they try to play with him, and he'll have nothing to do with them.

I have some silver dollars and clown loachs in the tank. I'll give it a day or two, and remove it if they still look stressed. Thanks for all of the help.

The two biggest ones are just a bit smaller than a soda can. If they keep growing, I'm going to have to move them. Around here, they are pretty common. Are they rare in England?

I change mine when they go out.

In your original post, you said that when you do not feed them the green water goes away. Clearly the overfeeding is the problem. If you told your doctor your hand only hurt when you made a fist, the doctor would tell you to stop making a fist.

That makes sense, and leads me to my next question. Is it possible to have too much light? The tank almost glows, and the fish seem very spooked. Should I ditch the actinic?

I'm not growing any plants. How would it hurt plants?

Thank you.

I purchased a used 55 gal aquariium. The previous owner used it for saltwater, but I have it set up for fresh. I received a bunch of other things with the tank, including a few extra flouresent bulbs. The light strip is a two bulb setup, and i'm using a standard aquarium bulb. Two of the tubes...

Clown!

I have 5 medium ones in a 55 gallon tank. I have three differnt variety's, and I'm not sure what they are. Notice in the bottom picture, two fish have a red spot behind thier eye. I do enjoy them! The pictures aren't the best, as the fish are very quick, and hard to photograph.

I've lost mine for as long as 6 month's. I also had one that lived under the UGF plate. To this day, I have no ideaa how he got there, if was able to get out, what he ate.

I have a RTBS with what appears to be an air bubble on his eye. It doesn't seem to be bothering him, and he doesn't appear to be distressed. Should I worry, and is there anything I can do?

To further reduce aggresion, try adding two or more at a time. If there is any aggression, it will be spread out to all the fish instead of just one.

Mine click all the time. Mine also seem to wrestle like you have described. It seems harmless.

With that bio load, I'd recommend at least 25% every 2/3 of a day. Maybe more!

I'm not sure about "Down Under" but in the states, we can buy cheap glass hoods for about $20.00. Besides the fish jumping, water evaporation is really bad with out a hood.

Picture this. Your swimming around a giant tank. Your scooped out along with fifty of your friends. Your put on an airplane(the cargo hold, not the comfy cabin), then onto a UPS or Mail truck. You arrive at new tank at the pet store. You float around for awhile, and the bag is cut open and you...

I'm sure fish eat them in the wild.

What happens when I try to buy a fish that I know I can properly house, and the shop owner disagrees?

corn flakes.

Tropic crisps, that sounds like a cerael. Are you sure it's fish food?

Come to the USA. You would be shocked at the wastefulness(is that a word?) of this country.

A lfs has some adult cl's. They are about 8-10 inches. I noticed one of them was very dark, almost black. It looked like two shades of black. Is this normal? what causes it if not? Is it a color variation, or from stress etc?

How big do these teacup rays get?

The fish selection was more volumne than variety. I was most impressed y the large display tanks. The dry goods, filters, and other supplies were also well represented.

Where are the fish??????

Has anyone ever seen a wild caught betta? Do they have the long fins, and bright colors? I've always thought the ones in the store were breed that way. I've heard that there is a wild variety of angelfish that is different than the typical ones in the store. Are bettas the same? Edit, After...

It should read "Tips on Keeping Goldfish in a Bowl" .....DON'T!!!!!

I didn't take any pics, but if you go to the link and click on the "store Tour" button, there are some prety good pictures. The store in Cleveland looks like a lot of the pictures. At the time I was more worried about drying my shoe and pants, than taking pics!
