Where did you get that instrument?

Yes, I have diffuser in front of the supply water Seems to work well. monitoring every time I view the tank.

Hi I just set up my co2. I want to know if I have the diffuser in the right place. My supply is located in back of diffuser. Let me know your thoughts.

Thanks I never had a problem with the liquid co2 I use. But I wonder if using the liquid co2 was the reason my dwarf rams keep dieing. I buy them and within a month or two die. All the other fish are fine. Tomorrow I clean tanks. So I'll get rid of the algae and see what happens. This tank has...

I never heard of liquid co2 being hazardous to fish. You have a point on lights. Sun comes up and then goes down 8-12 hours later. I use fertilizer recommoned by the manufacture. I bet I dose too much. The floating plants are growing like weeds.

I keep reading that co2 keeps algae under control. My tanks do not have any injected co2.But, they to receive liquid co2 once when I do a water change and another 3-5 days before another change usually 7-10 days. All tanks are heavy planted and have floating plants. The plants are growing well...

Swordtail

I need a male swordfish. I bought a trio a week ago and the male lasted 3 days. So I have two females. The GCCA would have swaps that I would go to and know I am buying fish that were tank raised. Of course those have been cancelled. So now I stumped. I thought about buying from the fish stores...

Very interesting. I have the food for deworm the fish. Is the time of the year have anything to do with spawning? I read about having the water a couple of degrees cooler than normal.

Can a person condition Blue Eye Rainbows with freeze dried brine or blood worms? How about live bearers?

Test strips are good in a pinch. But invest in a liquid test kit. $30. that will tell you exactly what the water range is.

About 7 fish that are not even a quarter inch long.

Yes liquid test kit.

This is a quarantine tank. Just to make sure fish are healthy. They will be going into a larger tank at some time.

6 inches? I had a common place grow to 8 inches. Not in this tank. Dwarfs do not grow this long.

The Rainbows are are about an inch and a half. They are not the large Rainbows that I have in other tanks. I have had DBNP spawn in this tank.

You are talking about Plecos. Not Bristol nose which are dwarf. Only around 3 inches fully grown. I can believe stress. The plants should have helped him adjust.

Hi I have a problem. I bought a trio of swordfish one male two females. Females took to the tank right away. The male hid in the plants. I saw him swimming the first and second day. The third day found him dead. The tank has a pair of Rainbows, a few guppies and a Bristol nose place. it is a 10...

Stress Zyme for algae control? I never heard of this. I thought it was for slime coat for fish.

Hi How can I submit photos for the fish photo contest? I see the thread but nowhere to enter. Thanks

I'm having a problem with my male Millinium Rainbow. The female passed a few months ago The Millennium was a very peaceful fish. Up till the female was lost. Now he is a sort of bully. I have another tank with a male and female millennium but smaller than the bully. If I put him into the smaller...

Hi I have had Albino Plecos. spawn and raised the young. So I would like to try Blue Eye Lemon Plecos this year. L144A. Anyone have any info on breeding this beauty? They are expensive at Live Aquaria. $50 each.

I am wondering if the plastic is leaching into the water.

I believe the tank hasn't fully cycled. If fish die after a water change that would mean either you are not using a chlorine rid or tank water not cycled. Which you are using I recommend buying a refrigerated bottle of water cycle. that jump starts the cycle. Don't buy any fish. than buy an API...

Thanks.

Due to a health problem in our house I have to break down my fish tanks I might be able to put a couple back up in the future. Can I keep the sub straight or should I just by new? The canister filter material I will throw away and just replace

Want problems? Get tiger barbs for a community tank. I don't trust any fish that has "barb" in the name. I have read that other barbs are not aggressive. I'm not that trusting. How about some Cardinal Tetras. A school of 7 would be nice. Don't just buy less than 5.

One owner told be just buy the cheapest water conditioner. They are all the same that is what they use in there tanks.. It just took out chlorine. I didn't buy it. don't buy fish from him at all.

Don't rely on big box pet shops for information. I just go there to buy dog food and plant and fish food if I run out. I have listen to the employees tell customers how to "cycle" and when it is alright to buy fish. One employee said you can buy some now. Even though the tank isn't set up. When...

Just to be safe I would boil the river rock. Pollution and small critters my be living In the rock. Better to be safe than buy fish and have them die. Cardinal tetras are a bit more forgiving than neons. With their long fins Bettas have a problem with other fish nipping at them. I've kept them...

I've seen many on Youtube. I might try it. Thanks. Does it work good?

Hi. My gravel/water siphon broke after 10 years. Completely manual no pump to start the siphon. I need to buy a new one. So I'm looking at Amazon a Kasan,Python and a number of others. The Kason has a nice feature of changing the uptake hose size.. Plus it has a bulb starter. Python has the bulb...

How many fish and what kind are in the tank? How long has it been up? Don't over feed your fish. Skip a day or two every week. It won't hurt them at all. 3 gals every week isn't good enough. If the tank water is good I would do 8or 9 gals every week. But to bring the nitrates down 15 gals twice...

I like CaribSea sub straight. It helps cycle the tank. It also has good nutrients for plants. What kind of lighting comes with the tank. The first tank I bought was an all in one package. The light was a cheap LED. I could not grow a plant at all. I up graded to a florescent. Which grew plants...
