All right, we went out and got a heater and a thermometer. It's about 76 degrees already without the heater, so we won't turn it on unless it goes below that point. I've read that tiger barbs don't like it above 79... Anyway, I'll keep treating, and put in some aqua salt! What do you say, a...

We do have a filter. No worries about that. We have a penguin 100g/hr filter. We shall get a heater soon. This is my first real tank and with advice such as your's, I will only get better at it. And you say the stress stuff doesn't remove chlorine? It says it does. I hope it does...it's...

All right, I've been reading back through the ealier posts to see if any could help me. I've found a lot of great posts. You guys and gals are so very helpful! I just have a few questions. We have a ten gallon with three black mollies and two small tiger barbs. Last time we got mollies from...

All right. I posted before that I had two mollies and they had babies. We hadn't cycled the tank and the ammonia and nitrite got too high for them. They all died from some stress related fungus. We treated them. The babies died all pretty much at the same time, which was odd. That's not...

Don't you worry about it! We have a couple plants and a skull decoration for them to hide in. But so far, it has been the adults hiding out in the big plant and the fries hanging out in the corner of the tank. Heh! There seems to be consistently around...eleven or twelve. My husband said he...

Yay! We woke up this morning and had about fifteen molly fries! They are so very cute! We went and got an extra plant for them to hide in, but they don't seem too worried about their parents picking on them. My husband was so excited he even dared waking me up early... Heh! I wake up well...

Heh! In the instance of the skull bit, I was talking about my plecostomus. Inchworm had asked how he was doing. Sorry to confuse you there! I'll take a picture one of these days so I can finally know what Alfred is. Someday when I can steal my parents' digital camera for a day or two. Laurie

You'll be happy to know that Alfred is eating happily now. The ammonia in his tank is completely cycled. Not the nitrites yet, but we're working on it. Every other day we give him frozen blood worms which he loves, and then the every other day we give him frozen peas! He's a lot more active...

Mice? Mean? Hm, I must have an odd mouse then. She's never bitten and she's sweet as can be. Of course....she does like to riggle herself out of her cage but that's a whole different story. I love my mouse. She's all black and very loving! Guinea pigs are great too, but they weren't on...

It's not very good for looks, but what my grandmother does for the babies in her goldfish pond is she puts a mop head in there. A clean one, of course. It's like...sea weed...in a fresh water pond... Anyway, it works well for her hiding all of those little baby fish. She often as little...

Very beautiful cat! I'm jealous. We can't have any cats or dogs here. We're full up with pets though! I always do enjoy the sweet yet often aloof companionship of a cat. Cheers! :thumbs: Laurie

He's also happy as can be in with the mollies. I saw him out and about this morning, probably chasing the female molly from his skull. We got a skull decoration from PetSmart and he just loves it. Sticking to the underside of it all day. The mollies though, Bonnie (the female molly) in...

This is my husband and I on our wedding day, May 3, 2003. Having our first dance!

I gave Alfred an Algae and he pretty much ate the whole thing. This afternoon, with Anna's suggestion, I put in a couple frozen peas. Wow! He just attacked them! And he's still going at it... Thank you so much for your advice, everyone. I think he's going to be all right. My pea killing...

Heh! I also forgot to add that he/she has really long front fins. You know, the really decorative kind like angel fish have? I thought only gouramis have those? Anyway, I'll try to get my parents digital camera and take a picture one of these days. Thanks! He does a lot of what you said...

All right. The description of my gourami! None of the fish on that site really looked like him. He...or she because I don't really know what sex he is, looks most like the Thick Lipped gourami, but there are some big differences. Here's the link again, so you can look at that picture...

No, we're definitly not adding any more fish for a long while now. And we are saving up for a bigger tank. Although I think my husband tries to go nutta crazy. He wants oscars and wants to put so many things in with them... You know, that sort of thing. Don't worry, I'll try to keep him in...

All right, about two weeks ago, my friend, who was in a desperate plight, gave us his six gallon tank and the gourami Alfred. Well, I didn't know what he was at the time, but he gave us the food he had been feeding him, which was cichlid food and said that's what he ate. Well, I did a bit of...

Mwahahaha.... Check this out! http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...8&category=3212 No...they're not the same strips, but it comes all in one package! Laurie

Heh! I think it just means that you started the post, or you posted in it. The post I had started had a black dot on it too! Laurie

Heh. I posted about my african dwarf frog before but I'll do it under this relevant post. I had a weird one I think. I put a fancy goldfish in with him and he did nothing but attack the poor fish. We had to take the fish out and buy him a totally new tank. I then transfered my frog to a ten...

I had an african dwarf frog. Loved him a lot! He was alone in a big ten gallon tank for a while. I finally felt so bad for my poor Cedric that I bought him a pal. Cedric was a pretty big african dwarf frog...as far as they go anyway. I got the biggest I could find at the lfs. The lady...

Wow, I definetly needed that! Thank you so much. Too bad I didn't get to read that sooner, else I wouldn't have bout the mollies yet and cycled the tank. I didn't know anything about cycling tanks let alone anything else. Talk about a newbie! I did know, though, that plecos grow to be huge...

Great Dane for me! Actually, I've never had a dog, but I had a friend with a great dane and I absolutely loved him! Laurie

All right, I've got two tanks now. One with my Gourami, not sure what kind and a pleco, which are both roughly about four inches. They're in a six gallon tank. Now, I'm thinking that's a bit small for them. At first, Alfred, the Gourami poked at Chuck the pleco. Now, they just leave each...

Hm, let's see here... I've had a few bettas. Gandalf the White, a beautiful white betta like one pictured within the picture section. Forget who's he was. Temujin, after the born name of Genghis Khan. He was my favorite betta. Ares. Hm, yes, I do like warlike names... Especially for the...

Very beautiful! I had a white one like that. He died about a year ago for some reason... Some fungus or other that also got into my other betta's tank from cleaning... I was inexperienced. All right, I'm still inexperienced. Anyway, I named mine Gandalf the White! Laurie

Hi! My name is Laurie. My husband and I just recently got a fish together. Yay! Our first one! So, I thought I'd get on a couple boards to get advice from people who have had fish for longer. We're both 21. We've got two cockatiels, Holly and Marzipan, an older guinea pig, Matilda, and a...
