I need at least 4 - 6700k compact fluorescent 65w bulbs. They are $60 each! at Big Als here in Edmonton Canada. That is very expensive. Any good online suppliers? I cant seem to find any.. Thanks cheers newfish

Here is my pic I have labeled the unknow rainbowfish 1,2,3 and 4. The neon rainbow has a N on it, and the two platies are obvious. Thanks for anyone who can Identiy (and sex?) these 4 unknow rainbows. cheers

That is what is happening. They are all small about 3cm 1.25" bodies. One has no "mate". Should I be removing any fish for "fish humanity" reasons? All 5 have some fin tearing from fighting but nothing serious.

I have 20 1-2" rainbowfish in my 90g. I know I have 3 neons, 6 bosmaii, and 9 "unknown" that were just called rianbowfish at the store. Can someone help me identify the 9 unknowns? There is 9 of one or two species I cant tell if it is two species OR just different sex of one species. Person at...

I can raise 2 fry per gallon in my 10g and 20g and 55g.

Does anyone have experience with breeding these types? What can I expect? I’ve done some reading and most of what Ive read suggests that color varieties are based on only one gene (1:2:1 ratios), I find it hard to believe that other genes are not involved? I will add that this is this pairs...

It is time for a fresh water aquarist to go Marine! I was about to make my 21g into a nano marine reef.. When my brother “fish torturerâ€￾ called and said he has had enough of his 55g, 4 foot tank. I get it for free. Cost is an issue for me, but I will be tripling my salary in 2 months…I...

What Rainbowfish do you like for a 90g? I have a 90g to fill with: 5 Neon rainbows 5-6 UNDECIDED YET RAINBOWS 5 (Denisons Barbs, red line torpedo barb, Indian flasher barb) One 6â€￾ “Mr Friendlyâ€￾ rainbow shark What would you put in as the undecided? I don’t like red rainbows. Ideas?

I actually like the "same old clown fish rounte with gobys" but I am interested in suggestions that are out of the ordinary too.

Thanks ATM, I will read again all post pinned, I did about 1 yr ago too. I will not use the biowheel, understand the nitrate trap "theory" There is GREAT liverock at a new small store close to my house. I also just turned in discus there for $300 store credit.. What fish would you get for a...

Ok How about, Does this have a good chance of working in the 90g planted tank? (all fish "full grown"): 1 large scalare(I will consider that this fish should be in another tank...I think so...?) 5 Neon Rainbows (1 or 2 male) 6 other full grown rainbows (4") 5" Friendly rainbow shark 5 Denisons...

Cool fish BUT, I dont want one fish tanking up my whole "fish quota" Can I keep a large angel(scalare) with a group of rainbows that a small but will obviously grow...? Does this have a good chance of working in the tank 90g planted tank? (all fish "full grown"): 1 large scalare 5 Neon...

What would you put in it? That is THE question... Fish is my main question here, I need to research alot about non-fish life... Tank is: 21 gallon "euro" style 16" deep (top to bottom), 14" from font to back, 24" wide. Light is 2x 18w florescent, I will get new lights to allow a great reef...

I got rainbow fish today for $2 canadian each! wow cheep. The look great too, the store just had too many. I got 5 neons 4 fem 1 male, and 9 others that were unidtentified, I figured for $2 it was worth it and I will take any back(donate) that I want/need to much later. All new fish are 1" to 1...

Great suggestion! Those are very cool looking. Im not sure if Ive seen them for sale around here often, ill check. Thanks what is a lima? dont know that one...

My discus are not as boring as this reply...lol Im going to check out the stock at the stores today, fun fun! :drool: Barracuda sound neet....

very interesting suggestion! Ill do some research as I am ignorant of the fish you have described. :hyper:

OK I want to get this post back on track. When I say "big" I mean in comparison to tetras and stuff. I really like rainbow fish and I think Ill get some, perhaps I need suggestions for other interesting fish that can be compatible with rainbow fish. I love rummy nose are they to small to be...

obviously!

I dont know much about arows, but a 4 foot 90g is not big enough? Im suprised... Are they very active and like current and plants?

I should add, that I have a very gorgeous rainbow shark in my 55g that I would like to move to my 90g. So my new fish should be compatible with him. I could take him back to the store if I decide on fish that dont work with him. Also, I have a large scalare angel that I have nursed back to...

I strongly agree with this user's post.

I have had discus for about 8 months now, and I find them boring. I once had my 55g full of rainbow fish with a relatively strong current; they were very fun to watch. What would YOU put in a 90g planted tank? Im very excited to transform my tank. Cheers :hyper:

don't tolerate any levels of ammonia nitrite - Very true good circulation without too much current and two great filters will take care of this. Mechanical filtration is not required use bio filtration eg ceramics Nitrate. I keep nitrate between 5-7 and my plants grow great and discus are very...

I would get a Discus tank only when you feel you really know FW tanks. I have a 90g planted Discus tank. It does not require so much time as it does understanding and knowledge. Any critical thinking, science oriented person will find keeping these tanks easy. If you are more "right" brained I...

Any comments? This could be a cheep source of high protein for my discus.... Thanks

As can be seen in my signature, I have disucs. I plan to use about 40% city water and 60% ro water; should this be sufficiant "remineralization". I have city water KH = 90 GH = 180, with NO nasty stuff like nitrate etc....(Noncostal Canadian water is great...) I do add co2, I am wondering...

When the declorinators advertise "provides slime coat" is that a bunch of crap?

Simple question here...my total hardness ppm has gone from 190 to 8 via my 5 stage RO system. Do I still need to use dechlorinator?

Thanks for the replies, I have platy fry right now, not sure what to do with them. They are 3 days old... I anticipated that my discus might not be able to catch them. I do have a 55g with 5 young angels, perhaps I should feed the fry to them...

Are there any concerns or disadvantages to feeding my discus platy fry? My 6 small discus are in a 90g, they are from 4â€￾ to 2 3/4â€￾ big (10cm to 6.5cm) including fins. I currently feed flake, bloodworm, brine shrimp, and a few sinking disks… Thanks for your comments…

sorry error Thanks for the help! The fish appear to be fanning the eggs and are still spawning now. When you say "pull the spawn" do you mean remove only the eggs? or the parents too? I am pretty sure angels do not raise the fry like discus do, but Im not certain... Thanks...

The fish is dying now for sure, I have him so he can die alone in peace... Good news is my angels are breeding!

I have heard this IS important "with a minimum water depth of 16"." Would get a 29g, perfect for two discus..

I have 5 young angels in a 55g fw planted tank. Right now two of them are breeding, I can see eggs and both fish "hanging" out together. These fish are very small, much smaller than I thought Angels would/could breed. Their bodies are only 1 1/4 inches or about 3 cm; they are healthy and with...

I am wondering the same thing...If I put a clown loach in the tank for a few months, will it eat all the snails?, then I could take it back to the store?

I started up my first discus tank 4 months ago. I bought six 2-3 inch discus and all have been doing well, except one. This one has been on a bit of a hunger strike. I have seen this fish eat and not spit it out VERY rarely in the past month. In the past month the fish has got very thin. I would...

Do it yourself co2 via a 2 litre soda pop bottle. It is cheep. You plants will grow much better and look better with co2. There is an adhesive called "goop" use that, it works the best for sealing the tube in the bottle...you can find instrucions in the net everywhere. you can inject it with a...

Welcome to the forum! I am not an expert with Oscars but, the 55g seems VERY overstocked when all the fish grow up. And, the more fish in the tank the slower and smaller they will grow...
