Ok thank you very much all for the responces. I will have to go buy some bleach and work on cleaning the tank later today :).

Just normal bleach I use for washing whites in the wash machine? How safe is this I don't want to have a bunch of dead fish when I start the tank after cycling due to not all the bleach getting out or is it pretty easy to clean out?

Hello, I aquiered a tank from a friend who neglected the tank so to speak. The tank has this white crust is the best I can desribe it. It's very tough to scrape off I am unsure how to clean this it is mostly on the glass where the light sits on top of the tank but it is in other places too...

Mine is suprisenly starting to come out more. Yesterday I caught him out've his cave during the day for a good half hour while i was watching, after that though he's been hiding hehe.

Dang I never knew haha. Yeah I will have to go to the fish shop soon then unless I can find myself a new tank. I really would like a bigger one cause I can't really do much with this tank it's too small I really would like to have a lot more fish. I just bought a home so we move in oct 1st so...

Ok thanks again I will have to keep a eye out in the local paper then probably so I will be able to pick up a large tank I figured it would be hard to ship something that big.

Ok thanks. I will look around. Is ebay a decent place to find good deals on larger tanks like that? I'm not sure about shipping wouldnt want it breaking or knowing if I can trust it before I see it. Thanks for all your help though appreciate it. For now I will get some more serpaes and...

I don't know what L=gallons? How many gallon tank would that be in the US?

How big of a tank do you recomend for keeping the fish I have then? I would like to upgrade anyways just not sure how big I need to go for my fish to be happy especially my pleco I dont want him to die.

Why should I take him back? He will get too big even in my tank? I thought fish grew to the size of their tank? I've had him for like 6 months now idk if they would take him back? I shouldn't have one you are saying? Doesn't my tank need one to keep the algae down?

Here is 2 bigger pictures I just took maybe you can see better what species it is. http://img117.imageshack.us/img117/4047/dsc02153il8.jpg http://img389.imageshack.us/img389/7311/dsc02146sj4.jpg

I posted pic above if you can tell me what species if it stays small or not. I also posted a pic of the serpaes if you can see how their fins look. Do you have any links to sites that tell larger tanks I would like to invest in a larger one but don't know any good sites to look at or what...

If the picture is too small let me know I just shrink it so it wouldnt get to big on this forum page. Here is a picture of the 4 serpae's

I am not sure let me go take pictures of them real quick i'll report back to this post in a few minutes with the pictures.

My pleco is the small one idk what it's called off hand. So if I get 6-8 serpaes that should calm down the fin nipping? Also will their fins grow back and not be so ragidy looking? One last question I should get more corys then? I think mine is pretty lonely he just sits around most of the...

my tank is too small for the fish I have in there? and how many serpaes should I get?

What does rehoming the pleco mean? What would be the max ammount of these guys I should put in here? I am willing to go buy some more I just don't know how many? The pleco is very small. I'd say maybe 4 inches?

My Serpae Tetras fins all look terrible because they are always going after each other nipping their fins. I have 4 of them and they always seem to be swimming togeather but go after each other all the time. I really would like to know what I can do if their fins will grow back if they stop...

I think the tank heats up to much in the day from the sunlight coming in from the window. Otherwise nothing has changed besides it being summer.

I don't bother my tank at all. I am gone at work for 12 hours a day and I feed them before I leave and when I come home. I also sit and watch them but that is it. I don't know what happened my gourami used to be so happy when I fed them she would come to the top and start eating now when I...

My gourami is the one that really freaks out, the tetras are kindve scared but come around once i am there a bit the cory is really chill haha he is never scared.

Would my fish tank being right next to a south window be a problem?? to much light?

here is a picture of a tank, the tank/window and how big the window is. I was just thinking maybe this has something to do with it even though the blindes are closed the light from it?? Any thoughts?

I will have to get some testing stuff from a fish store but I will post pictures of the tank in a minute let me go take some quick.

No I do not have anything to check any of the water parameters. I just tried to go take a picture of the fish but my gourmai was freaking out so bad swiming really fast into thing and is just stayed hiding behind the water heater I just stopped because I dont want the fish to go into shock or...

Any time I go to feed my fish, turn on/off the light or get close to the tank the fish just freak out and go nuts swimming really fast all over the tank and hiding. The gourami gets really freaked out I am scared something is wrong?? Here are the only fish I have in the tank: 1 Neon Gourami 4...

Ok i'll try posting in there thanks and by the way for your signature just go to www.imageshack.us and upload that picture and click the resize box and it will resize it smaller for you.

I hope so I dont know what is wrong with them. The gourami is so scared 24/7 I don't know what is going on??

Had the current fish in this tank for a good 4 months now.

I noticed when updating my profile here that it asks for my gender twice once twords the top and once twords the bottom. Not a big deal just thought I'd let you guys know to remove one of them :good:

Any time I go to feed my fish, turn on/off the light or get close to the tank the fish just freak out and go nuts swimming really fast all over the tank and hiding. Here are the only fish I have in the tank: 1 Neon Gourami 4 Serpae Tetras 1 Albino Cory Catfish 1 Plecostomus Any ideas what is...

Ok, It seems he only comes out when I am not in the room because as soon as I open the door and look at the tank I see him quickly swim from sucking on the side to under this little cave thing I have in there and when I watch my fish he never comes out. If he does come out during feeding time...

anyone? :blink:

Wow those are really cool! I never seen a blue tetra before. Did you get this at your lfs or from a private breader?

Well either she is pregnant or really fat :P. SOmetimes my tetras get like that when they pig out lol.

Ok i'll check those fish out. Any other suggestions and oh how much do those gourami's you just named go for usually at lfs's? I don't really have much money to spend. Also do those fish like to be alone or in pairs or what because I dont want my fishie beign all lonely :P

What kind've gourami? Would my tank be large enough for them to fit into or how big do they get? Any other suggestions?

I'm trying to think what I should get next to add to my tank. I've had the pleco in my tank forever but the tetras were just put in like 2 weeks ago or something like that and they have all been doing fine so I thought about getting a few more fish to add to the tank. I also have another 10...

Yes I have the common pleco too and he isn't growing at all. What are you feeding yours to make him grow huge? Please tell :P! lol
