I c...thanks pal

LOL~ I don't think the UGF will hamper the plants' roots growth when you use screens, isn't it? vacuuming the surface of the gravel do remove the BB's, but not all but hey BB's don't only grow in filter medias, they do grow on the other parts of the tank as well.

I agree that the finer the gravel, it will ristrict flow. But still finer gravel have larger surface areas compare to larger gravels and this is an advantage for the growth of benificial bacteria. finer gravel is also suitable for planted tank to provide grip of the plants' roots. However a...

It depends on how your filter is build. However bear in mind that turning off the filter would mean that there won't be any water flow in the filter, and that all your benificial bacteria will suffocate and die, and then it will cause another problem. But then again, it will take about an hour...

put screens between the filter and the sand. even though if you are using 2 different material, 1 larger gravels, and 1 fine gravel, its advisable to saparate them with screens. the mesh size of the screen depends on how fine your gravels. you need a mesh size that is smaller than your average...

LOL i used vinegar to lower my pH. and baking soda to increase pH.

It's a juvenile isn't it? Looks like Lates calcarifer (baramundi) to me.

well I don't really know what type of blue sponge you are reffering, but anyway, to get those beneficial bacteria in to it is easy. If you already have a filter media with beneficial bacteria, yes, you can put it side by side with the new media. Ofcourse you can't simply replace it, you will...

Honestly speaking, throughout my fish keeping experience, I had never done any cycle or such thing before. It is through this forum that I came across many people are talking about cycling the tank. All I know, before this if I want to start a marine tank, I need to cycle it 1st but never in...

carbon is usually for removing water odour and colour. there are alot type of filter media out in the market. here's my guideline when choosing filter media... - when choosing a filter media, we need to consider the surface area. - the higher/more surface area will provide more space for for...

Wow! so many problems at 1 time...I used to have goldfish with swimming disorder...mostly is due to feeding problem.

approx 47 gal us? i c. thanks But I have kept oscar in the tank before. He died coz of electrical shock. I don't know how the wire break out of the power head. But funny, my pleco didn't die...amaze

Yup, Flower Horn Cichlid...is it popular in the west?

Ooo...that's the measurement for 55 gal? I'm not quite sure...sorry. Then whats the volume of 34 x 18 x 18?

yup neons are ok too. in fact most fish get along well with pleco. it's the pleco that won't bother other fish. however just make sure that the pleco don't get too big till he can eat small fish Oh~boy, I'm having bad internet connection hope I can send this thru

yup, betta is ok with pleco. but in my opinion, the tank gonna be dull isn't it?

ancestor probably from America, but Flower Horn is from Malaysia. Anyway, is Flower Horn popular in the West?

LOL...salt is just for treatment, small ammount won't harm corrys. Corrys have good amour.

Welcome and Good Luck with your fish tank, it's really a nice 1

Pregnant, but what stage I'm not so sure. But as far as I can see, she is not ready to deliver

Oopsss, I didn't know bout that, sorry. Thanks for updating me rdd1952.

Nice Tank, Weldone :good: You were saying that the CO2 bubbles are staying in the water longer because it attaches to plant leaves, and could this coz problem to your plant? Correct me if I'm wrong. I don't think there will be any problems.

If you can't find the leak when the tank is fill with water, then you have to empty the tank, dry it (the outside of the tank) and start filling it slowly, while checking for the leaking spot. If you fill too little water, you'll probably can't find the leak spot coz, the pressure is too low...

Great to hear that you are not letting the fish go...cheers :good:

You have to start all over again, I mean remove the water and start searching for the leak. If your tank is filled with water, it would be immposible to search for the leak if it is the underside of the tank. So start over again. Dry off your tank then refill the tank a little at a time, until...

i c, actually i m not good in estimating how big a tank based on gallon/liters. I'm better when i know the length of the tank. I think 55 gallon is a large tank about 3ft in length? correct me if I m wrong. If I'm correct, yes you can put oscar in it

LOL hahaha...so you really plan to keep convict species heh? So tell me, is oscar also named under convict? if it is, I might probably able to imagine what other fish are also named under convict.

best kept in large groups flower horn comes from? malaysia japan africa america

Since your tank is empty...only 1 fish. I suggest that you add more fish. Oh~come on, the molly is lonely. Try add in:- - surface level fish such as guppies - mid level fish such as tetras (neon preferred) - bottom level fish such as corrys Then your tank will look more occupied.

What do you mean by convict species?

How Wonderful your intentions. But like you said, you probably can't save all of them, an maybe some will die, why bother doin it? Anyway if you are planning to save the bettas in the store, you should need a large tank to keep them. the tank should also be planted to give some shadding and...

Hey Jodielee54, Just wanna ask why did you purchase the pleco the first place? :huh: If you're looking for a fish to eat the algae on walls of your fish tank, pleco is not suitable in a small tank. The Chinese algae eater is a better choice. You did mentioned earlier that all your fish died...

Go to this forum, I've post a reply about feeding http://www.fishforums.net/index.php?showtopic=187181

Yes do immediate water change to dilute the ammonia level. Just do as mention above. Another tips, you can add salt (aquarium salt recommended) into your tank while you are doing water change. Add about 2-3 ppm of salt. This will reduce stress for your fish while you are doing water change. If...

Which part of the air tubing that have the slime on? the part of the tube that is soak in the water or expose to the air? How long have you been cycling the tank? Through your description I assume that it is expose to the air. And I guess it is dirt, from the water.

Tetras are schooling fish...so it's a good idea you increas their population. But then again you need to consider the ammount of fish u have in the tank. I guess the reason your fish is being bitten is because their coloration is obvious. Try increasing their population...they are schooling...

Hi pezant :) , I think first of all it is important to know what fish you are keeping? :huh: Well the basic guideline to feeding fish is to feed them twice a day as much as they can consume in about 4 to 5 minutes. However as I said, it's important to know what fish you are keeping. Coz...

I've been keeping fish for many years now, I can't remember if I've named any. :lol: I think naming your fish can be fun heh? ^_^

I think before I start off, I would like to say Hello to all TFF members. :lol: I hope I can share my fish keeping experience with you all here. B) Good day everyone :good:
