What are some fish that are not too dificult to breed in a 55gallon tank? I don't want livebearers or convicts, what else would you suggest? Thanks

I have heard, and seen pictures, of Plecosmus getting 2-3 feet long and know that it will outgrow my 55 gallon eventually. My question is what other fish can I get that won't outgrow and will clean up my tank? Thanks

Hello, Another Option. I am looking at buying the 48" 4x65W Coralife LUNAR Aqualight Deluxe for my 55 gallon freshwater tank. I have 4 bulbs to choose from, HelloLights 55/65W 10,000K, HelloLights 55/65W Actinic 03, HelloLights 55/65W 50/50 10K/Act 3, or HelloLights 55/65W Blue 7,100K. I can...

I have a 55 gallon, 48" freshwater tank and I want to take the next step and get into plants in my tank. I am looking for recommendations of lighting systems to buy. I want one that sits an inch or two over the tank. I have been looking at the Glo T5 Double but wonder why it doesn't have any...

What kind of fish is the fishforums.net yellow one at the top left of the screen? Thanks

Why is the common plec. not made for tanks? Seems like perhaps I should get rid of the bigger, meaner Jack Dempsey. IF I do that maybe I can get a pair of small angels and a pair of pink kissing gourami's.

I have two Jack Dempseys in my 55 gallon with a large Plecosmus and am seeing what anyone would recommend I put in my tank to spice it up some. They are about 6 inches. Thanks

I am located in Tucson,AZ, is there a website that lists fish clubs in different areas?

I have the penguin 350 filter and was wondering if I could put it in the plastic containers that are in front of the filter pads? Thanks

I have 2 Jack Dempseys, 5-6", and three red bellied pacu, 4-5", in my 55 gallon tank. I am ready for some new fish and don't know what to do with these ones. My lfs said that they don't accept cichlids or pacu. I don't want for them to die so any suggestions on what to do with them? Thanks

I was curious as to what the process of buying fish online is? What is a good site? How are the fish shipped? What happens if they arrive dead? All those type of questions. Thanks

I figured that would be the common response. Any suggestions of an interesting fish to add?

I have a 55 gallon tank and want to add a couple red bellied pacu in it but am worried that they will eat my other fish. I have 2 Jack Dempseys that are 4 and 5 inches long, a 5 inch red finned shark, a 3-4 inch uside down catfish, an 8 inch plecosmus and an 8 inch eel. Do you think that the...

Has anyone had any experience with buying fish food in bulk that are in the bags from ebay? Any bad experiences? Develop parasites or something from the food? I was thinking of taking this route and just thought I would get a little input before I do. Thanks

Is there like a special carbon that I could change in the filter to get rid of the smell or anything? Does it just take time for the tank to establish and then the smell disappears? Thanks for any help

I just added all new water as I just got this tank this weekend.

I just set up a 55g tank and now my room smells like a pet store. Is there a way to get rid of it besides air fresheners? I opened the lid and it does smell in the water. Any suggestions?

I put new airstones on both of them. I also took off the split lines from the t-valve and air only comes out of one side at a time depending on which way I flip it around. Any more suggestions?

I did a little research and have discovered that it is a T-Valve. I didn't find anything as to why it isn't working. Any ideas? thanks

No, but it does look like it has two little nostrils above its mouth.

I have done that and still there is a problem. They base from the same line and then the 3 way nozzle attaches and splits the line into 2. This is where only one side is working. I hope that helps.

I do but I don't know how to upload them. I clicked the insert image icon above and it wants a website but I have the pics under my pics. How do I upload them?

I just bought a new tank and it came with an air pump that has this 3 point nozzle on it. One line goes from the pump and then two lines go from the other two points with airstones on them but only one of them works. Is there something I could be doing wrong? Thanks

I bought a 55 gallon tank and it came with some fish and I don't exactly know what they are. I need to know b/c I cant get them to eat and would like to know how to care for them. I have some pics but don't know how to upload them on here. One is Albino pinkish and almost looks like an oscar. ...

I am wondering if I would be able to fit a 55 gallon tank in the bank seat of a car? Does anyone know the length of a 55 gallon tank? Thanks

Can I try different meds? I mean can I do a parasite one and then a day or two later if not cured try a fungus one? Thanks

The fishes behaivior is fairly normal. It seems to be scared of me since it developed the spots. There are no red spots it is just some white flakes on the upper sides. It has lost its color and sits on the bottom alot. My temp is in the high 70's and it always hangs right around the heater...

I have two Jack Dempseys and only one has the white spots on it. One is 5" and the one with the spots is 3". I already treated for ick and it didn't clear the spots. I am guessing it is something else. Any ideas? The sick one doesn't show it color much anymore and is almost palish. You...

Once the eggs hatch.

I have a 20 gallon tall tank. My two convicts died about two months ago of what I thought was ick. I put in the ick tablets and they still died. I then emptied out the water and wiped the walls down with a rag. It sat empty for over a month. A couple of weeks ago I filled it back up. Let...

Thanx everyone, I didn't think they were good. About the shared water in tanks thing, doesn't petco and petsmart have it the same way or does it just seem that way? Thanks again

I am wondering if everyone trusts the fish at walmart. I ask this because they don't always look very healthy and the people in the fish center don't seem to know anything about them. So do you trust them?

I am going to give my convicts to the pet shop and want to put/try new fish.

I have a twenty gallon tall tank. I have had a pair of black convicts in it for over a year now and want to try a new fish. Any recommendations? I don't want something to difficult. I appreciate the help and did try searching.
