    Apisto white bump

    Sorry guys I could have sworn there was a fish illness forum but I can't find it >_< About a week ago I noticed that right in front of the dorsel fin of my Apisto there was a white mark that looked like a wound. I had a GBR that was being a real jerk to him and was put in a different tank so I...

    The cult of "DIY KING". Just bizarre.

    Not really sure why he has you so worked up, it's entertainment. No one ever said he was some aquarium expert. The guy has nice tanks and keeps a lot of fish that the average person doesn't have access to. Who wants to see another video of a guppy tank, or goldfish tank. If i want to see guppies...

    Fish really sick.

    Aww man I'm sorry to hear that. No trouble at all, we were all new and all made mistakes. I will guarantee you weren't the first to make this mistake and you most certainly won't be the last. As much as it stinks to have lost your fish, use it as a learning experience and try again once you are...

    72 Bow Front stocking / Angelfish

    Hmm I've never really looked into Gouramis and the pearls are actually a really nice looking fish. I'll start doing some research. Thanks for the suggestion. The water test was straight from the tank.

    72 Bow Front stocking / Angelfish

    Just took a sample and tested PH and hardness PH was 6.8 GH was 160 mg/L KH was 120 mg/L Obviously didn't have a chance to let the sample sit but I am hoping it is close enough.

    72 Bow Front stocking / Angelfish

    How what a beautiful tank, I really appreciate your help. I will definitely continue to research angelfish before I make a decision but you have helped immensely. If I was to decide against angels (and discus) would you have any other suggestions for a showpiece fish(s) for the tank. I would...

    72 Bow Front stocking / Angelfish

    Phewww :D I was thinking wow I thought this was a big tank. That makes me feel a little better, I have heard of people using 72 BF tanks for discus but the cost and pickiness of them has kind of made me think I will hold off. Learn some lessons with other fish that I don't have to drain my life...

    72 Bow Front stocking / Angelfish

    I had heard that about the plecos creating more waste then they are worth which is why I chose the otos figured they might be better. I might give them another go from another LFS and see if the results differ. So with a tank that is 48 long by 20ish tall is this not enough space to keep the...

    72 Bow Front stocking / Angelfish

    Thanks a ton for the help! Lots of great info. The tank is 48 W x (12 at the corners then bows to 16-17 in the middle) by 22" (I believe) deep. Sounds like I will hold off on more cichlids as the ones I have seem like they couldn't be happier. Would a birstlenose pleco do what I am looking...

    Fish really sick.

    Yup that will work great, change out some water and add in the aquasafe to the water after you add it to the tank.

    Fish really sick.

    If there is no water, you would just be adding him to the same problem but in a new tank, really really need dechlorinator. I would buy some dechlorinator and then take the ten minutes to do a water change before anything else. Even if it means taking a clean bowl and scooping out some water and...

    Fish really sick.

    I'm not an expert but I would think if his old tank is still setup and cycled I would be moving him back to it until the new one is setup properly. Better to be in a small tank than one with water that is toxic to him.

    Craigslist disaster :( Can this stand be saved?

    Currently the exchange is 1 CAD = 0.75 USD, Things definitely don't always follow the exchange up here unfortunately. Likely because they are just buying it from the US and have to pay to ship it to Canada and put it in their stores. A couple years back Target tried opening up stores up here and...

    Craigslist disaster :( Can this stand be saved?

    Hello everyone, It has been many many years since I have kept fish and I decided I wanted to give it a go again. I have never kept anything too crazy usually Betas and Tetras. After looking at my LFS I decided to jump on Craigslist and see what was available. I found what looked like a great...
