joshua, In most filters the cartridge runs the same direction as the back of the tank,like in whisper power filters. If the liberty 100 is the same as the bigger models, the catride runs crosswise, or from the front of the filter to the back, so the cartridge may actually be not as...

maybe they are afraid of swimming of the edge :D like sailers were afraid of sailing of the edge of the world in the old days.

I have seven rummynose in my tank too. they are definitely cool little fish, by far my favorite tetras.

I try to save 50% of the old water. My water seems to have a high ph when it comes out of the faucet, but the water in my tank seems to have a lower ph. Don't know why, may be the driftwood. Anyway, I know the fish like the water they are in so I try to save half of it because of the ph and...

I have an eheim liberty. It works good. I got mine over 1 year ago and can't complain. I can't really say it is better than other brands, but it is just as good. I also got mine because of the price, it was on sale and i could not pass it up. I like the design, the way the filter...

could be... hmmm. i don't know. is the temp ok? the fry are so small you most likely can't see if there is some fungus or something on them.. I would put an adult in the tank for a few weeks and see how it does. if it gets white spots or something on it you know there is ich or something...

Skip the lettuce, it has very little nutritional value. If you are worried about your pleco getting enough vegie matter get some algae waffers. If you are feeding your fish a quality flake food your pleco will also eat that and you could put in algae wafers for a treat. Also, some species of...

I agree with missyintx 99. Sounds like it is timefor another tank! If that is just not an option than go SA. trying something new is the best way to learn about different species and can also be challenging, and that is what keeps people interested in the hobby. When it stops being...

Definitely corys. They won't harass the other fish, are peaceful, are great at finding food. Most species stay small and there are so many different species there is one to please everyone. They are also very active durring the day and add movement and personality to the aquarium. Best to...

I have had an ecco for over a year.. everyday I wish I had gotten the classic.

Aquaclear costs a little less, but I have been very pleased with the Marineland filters. Had a penguin that worked great. Now, I am getting a hang on the back style filter for a 75 gallon tank. I was going to get an Emperor 400, but, tetratec now has a filter called the tetra tec pf 500 with...

I have an Eheim Ecco canister filter. I don't care much for the Ecco model but would not hesitate to try an older design or the new professional II models. The flow rate on the ecco seems a bit slow and if I don't clean it out every three or four weeks the flow rate really drops off. Also...

thanks to all for the advice. I am knew to this forum and just discovered that several other members had the same question on other posts. sorry. I had one botia, lfs called it a tiger botia, was just over an inch long when i got it and took it back to the lfs yesterday as it was...

looks like a great selection of fish. The sight of hatchet fish swimming with pencilfish will definitely draw attention as the two are so opposite! I am in the process of converting my 75 gal aqaurium into an amazon theme also. If you are going to put angel fish in with neon tetras be sure to...

I have a 75 gal aguarium being taken over by snais that are cylinder shaped and reproduce like rabbits. I am going to tear the tank down and set up with sand and live plants. The fish are going to be placed in another aquarium. Before redoing the tank I want to kill the snails as they are on...
