When I add algae discs the will either sit & start growing things or get eaten. The back of the package on mine says that any uneaten portion should be removed within 12-24 hours.

It also depends on the suction of the downtube. Mine filters 150 gpm & I never have anything floating. Even when I have a casuality he gets stuck to the dowtube. I get alot of plant matter stuck to the tube & alot inside the filter on the pads. I always go overboard on filter though.

WOW I gotta get me some of those. Thanks Molly

I've never heard of Chain loaches. Do you have a link or a pic or another name for them?

What kind of loach, other the clown loaches will eat snails? I love Clowns but I have no luck with these guys. I've killed 3 sets now. Anything that might be a little more hearty & eat the snails would be more then welcome in my tank. :dunno:

I like the TetraTec models for that same reason. Keeps things nice & Clean. Internal Heater that you don't have to hang off the back thats heating the water as filtered.

My Tigers had a bad case of ich which went into fungus. I had heard to do the same--raise temp add salt & I used meds. the Oxygen got so low from that combo I almost suficated them. I added a air stone & pump. I got that a little late & unfortuently fungus got them one by one. :(

My LFS said that Nitromax boosts the fishs immune system. I don't know about cycling. They also sell out of it really quickly.

Would the Dwarf Chiclids by to agressive for the tank?

I put a new rock in the tank today. It's a fake with an Air tube inlet. It lets the air out right at the surface so it creates a lotmore surface area ie more oxy for the guys. They are a lot more active then before. I don't know wheather their more active cause the large new rock draws them up...

My buddies Pictus Cat lost a whisker either rubbing on a rock or bitten off by a Chiclid. It's growing back slowly. I don't know if this translates to your Cory but I would think it would grow back slowly.

Make Sure you check your water levels. my buddy put in a real nice piece of wood, it spiked his nitrites & amonias. It turned out to be a Lizard wood instead of Fish Wood. Fish got poisened. Good thing Cichlids are sturdy fish. Not one had any ill effects.

Good Luck & I hope you get farther along than I did.

Okay I must have a Mutant Clown or something. :alien: He has been in my tank for a little longer then a week now & he always feeds on top, usually swimming on his back while he sucks in as much food as he can. I have given the sinking pellets but those usualy sit & rot or sometimes eaten by my...

Thank you for understanding. I felt the exact same way. :/ I came home feeling bad that I could help the situation not that bad that I didn't get the job. I feel bad for all the animals in their that are not being looked after properly. They also showed me their containment area wear the kept...

**UPDATE** :( :sad: :( Now I now why the tanks in Petsmart are the way they are. I went in for my interview, 45 minutes later I left with a wealth of knowledge I wasn't sure I wanted. On to the reason they are so bad. I wanted to work in the Fish Dept. well the don't have a fish dept. they...

Long answer-I used it just now but as Fishy Breeder said that exact question was not asked & therefore did not come up on the search. Short answer--yes

I'm going with a Natural Theme. River Gravel / couple pieces of wood / a couple nice rocks / & plants. Tank has been up & running for about two months (after being cycled) I think some algae would be pretty nice. However I can't get it to grow on anything-not even the tank walls. Does anyone...

What kind of filter are you using? I always go over kill on my filter. Mine is supposed to be used on a 30 Gal, & I have rarely have stuff on the bottom.

I'm usually around 74 it's getting colder so I thought I ask you all. 70=21 72=22 74=23 76=24 78=25 80=26 Thanks aernympha, I keep forgetting thatit's a Wordly forum

My Buddy has a Pictus Cat in his Chiclid tank, does just fine, in fact the Pictus kinda picks on the Chiclids. :lol:

My Cories play in the current of bubbles, they seem to love swimming hard down & floating back up. It's really fun to watch.

Then I guess I won't get it either. But I gotta try. Atleast just to have clean tank with no dead fish floating or other fish eating other dead ones. I just can't stand it. I told the guy about the dead ones & he said "Yea I'll get to it" COME ON MAN. :angry: :grr: Thats when I went & asked...

I'm gonna see if I can get a Part-Time Job at PetSmart. Try to Improve conditions. I'll let you guys know what happens.

Okay this guy is just whacked out of his skull :blink: . He spins on his head at high speed around & around & around, untill he hits something in the tank. The he returns to normal swimming. It looks like a Bird flapping around. While it has high comedic value, I'm getting a little worried...

I don't really know but I do know where to look. http://www.liveaquaria.com/product/prod_Di...=21&pCatId=1172

Good article. I try to keep mine busy. My tank has 3 live plants (Wysteria, Amazon Sword, & tall something plant), a Rock Cave w/ mountains, a large branch with three off shoots, & and an air stone for them to play with. The gravel has alot of hills & valleys. I change locations of the Rock &...

Dont forget when you raise temp& add Chems, it lowers Oxygen intake, might want to add an airstone.

Sorry to hear about your Tetra. Mine had a Fungus infection as secnodary infection from Ich. I added and airstone & treated with usual chems for about week & 1/2. Three of my four lived. I lossed one. I am sorry to hear about your loss.

Here ya go-These don't look like mine. Mine are more silver & Black dots with black fins but you get the idea. http://www.liveaquaria.com/product/prod_Di...=21&pCatId=1176

The Julii's I got yesterday are definetly like their new surroundings. Both of them are playing in the bubble stream of the air stone.They swim hard down the bubble stream, then stop & float w/ the bubbles back up to the top. & they do it agin. They've been doing this for the past 1/2 hour...

I read this forum alot & i didn't know about it. I voted know & WOW you guys have some beautiful tanks & some georgous fish. Is there a spot for the new voting links or a Link or whats the deal? I'd vote & vote early & often. :shifty:

I am a fisherman. I catch fish for the Fun & to eat. I spend mondo amounts of money, just like fish tank. I eat alot of what I catch. What I don't eat does go back in the water. I always make sure to get them back into the water in the fastest amount of time possible. With some fish you have a...

Yea 24 was fun. I miss that.

Right next to your 10 gal w/ your Blue Whale right? :nod:

Would they get along or they pick on each other?

OK hook me up the heart monitor & get the crash cart ready, I am just way over the hill at 30 :/

Any idea which it this most recent Vol & Edition of Baensch Aquarium Atlas 1? Looking at amazon to buy & they have vol 3, 4, 1, & 5. I would buy 5 but there may be up to 8 by now. Or does it really matter which I get?

Does anyone know when he will grow his tail back? Thanks
