Oh, ok. Got it. "I'd get rid of everything but the bps.." - See, I can't do that. I don't have anyone who will take any of my fish. "how big are all the fish now? maybe you could get away with a temp set up (though not recommended) if their sizes aren't too bad." - the BP's are only about 4...

Hello. I was just wondering... I have a 50gal tank with 3 BP's, a sliver dollar, a Angelfish and a cherry barb [all still very small]. But I was wondering what other cichlids would go good with these fish before I add to the tank, ect.? Thanks, -Nik

I'm not one to say something like this - (mostly since I'm still a bit "green" when it comes to fish, but I've done alot of research online and have tons of books) - but I guessing that this is a troll post? No offence if I am wrong but I've delt with plenty of trolls when it comes to fourms...

jayjay - Thanks for the info. I'm still not 100% sure what I want to do, but I still think that I might want a Blood Parrot(s) in the future. Can I ask another question? As I said before, I only have a 50g tank... I wouldn't be able to get another tank (55g as you said) so would a 50g be...

Hello again, As I was saying a while back I have a 20gal tank (with a few tropicals) and a 50gal (with some goldfish) and then my 5gal (with a really small comet goldfish I "saved"). Anyways, my goldfish tank (50gal) is totally crashing... and fast. I was wondering if anyone could give me...

I’m not sure where to post this, but here it goes. To start off, I have a total of four tanks – A 3gal (empty at the moment, used to house a few “feeder fishâ€, Comets), a 5gal (has only one Betta in it), an 20gal (two Fancy Goldfish, yeah, I know. A 20gal is to small for them, that’s...

My family and my 'roommates' think that I have gone crazy now. I got my 20gal that was almost done cycling and I get a 5gal as well and am starting the cycle all over again... and now I have 2 tanks... oy. Yup, I've really gone fish crazy pretty quickly. lol :) QUICK QUESTION: About the new...

"On behalf of my idiot petsmart associates, i apologize for any inconvenience they may have caused you" - Truthfully I thought they seemed pretty helpful. But really after what everyone here as told me here, idk. "Clown Loaches grow way to big for a small tank like that. They can be in a...

"If you have any bog wood then this will be the culprit!" - I don't have any DogWood. But thanks anyways. UPDATE: I took the water to be tessted and they said that I'm pretty much cycled but to wait for a week or so before adding anymore fish to the tank. Not to add that the smell I was...

UPDATE: Yesterday I took the clown loach up to PetSmart and the manager agreed to take the fish back. That's a good thing for the fish :) So that all taken care of now. This morning I woke up and gave the fish I had some food and noticed that the tank no long smelled! Tomorrow I'm going to go...

I really hope your right about that. I'm just getting a little upset with since I got this tank how many mistake I've already made. I hope once I get passed the cycle and stocking isssues everything will go nicely. I am so gonna stick around this place and pray you guys can help me get...

Here are some cute desktops I made of my two cats Louie and Max. Louie's the orange one (2 and a half years) Max is the black and white one. I kind of work with graphic design on and off. So, if you like my artwork and want me to make you a desktop/banner/avatar of your pet(s) just fill this...

"I heard if you do a fish cycle ethe water will smell. Is that ture?" - I'm new to fish and don't know a whole lot about them but I do know that I have been doing a fish cycle for atleast a week now and my tanks water has a pretty bad smell to it. idk if all fish cycled tanks have that smell at...

I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this since I'm not getting many replies, should it have been put in "Tropical Chit Chat"? Thanks snowyangel. That really helps. I'm still not sure if I am going to go though with my plan but I believe that it'd be best for the fish.

Just so everyone knows, I am going to go talk to the manager at PetSmart about taking the fish back this afternoon when I'm on my break. I'll be sure to let you know the out come. Lets not get anyone upset about this, I didn't know that a clown loach need such a big tank and how big one gets...

Alright. I'll see what I can do about that.

Hi, as I was saying in my other topic I am new to fish and have a lot of questions. I have a friend who has a nice size tank that he's had up and running for years, I was thinking about maybe giving him the fish I already have in my tank since I'm worried that my tank is going down and having...

I understand that you are concerned about my fish. Like I said, I'm going to try and take him back to the store tomorrow, but I'm not sure what to do if they say no (and they told me no on the phone, but I thought I'd talk to the manager in person). Tomorrow is the soonest I can talk to the...

I aleady have been using the Stress Zyam stuff... "You will not get rid of the smell or the milky/funny water until your tank cycled. Hang in there, it will take a few weeks." - Lovely. A few weeks. I know that I can try to deal with the smell for a few weeks but I'm not so sure if my...

"I thought you needed a much bigger tank than you have to house clown loach?" - Thats weird, since a friend of mine had a 10gals with 2 clwon loaches and a few other small fish and they lived for like 2 and a half years but he had to take the tank down when he moved and the fish didn't survive...

Uh... they checked for ammonia and said that it was slighty high but not to bad. After reading and reseaching a little more I'd starting to think that the tank isn't cycled... like I said, I'm new to this. "What size is the tank?" - 20gals "What kind of fish do you have?" - 1 Bleeding Heart...

I already had the water tested yesterday... they said that it was perfectly fine. So I idk. Anyways, I ended up doing the 10% water change as PetSmart told me to... I think I ended up taking out about 20% since somehow I dropped the little hose thingy and water went EVERYWHERE in my living...

Nope. All my fish are there. There was a dead one a few days ago but I got him out right away... I'm gonna do the water change that the petstore said to and see what happens...

I guess that sounds about right... like I said though, the tanks only been up for 5 days at the most... No, I don't have my water stats right now, I'd have to go search my house to see if I can find that paper that I wrote some info down on but I think I left it in the car (of all places) but...

Hello all! I'm new to the forum and REALLY new to fish keeping. I am hoping that this forum will be able to help me though my mistakes and help me get a healthy fish tank. Thought I should stop in a say 'hi' to everyone. Hope to see you around the board! -Nikki

Hello! Please remember, I'm new here and really new at fish keeping. I know that I should have researched a lot more then I did before I started, but well, I got a little ahead of myself... I know that I made the biggest mistake in fish keeping - adding fish within the first 48 hours... :X...
