My husband and I are going to be moving in the next couple of weeks. We have a 40 gallon freshwater tank. There are two angles, 3 corys, 2 bristlenose plecos, 7 shrimp, and about 12 platys. I have never had to move any tanks before so I have no idea what would be the best way to do it. Any...

Does anyone know at what age a male bristlenose will start growing bristles? I have two and there both about 4 to 5in in length form tip of nose to tail. Thanks.

whatever it was looked liked it was coming out of its gills.

I was feeding my fish some bloodworm's and one of the babies I have who is about an inch and a half long looked liked it peeded. It did it after she ate a bloodworm. It was pretty weird. Any thoughts??

sounds interesting where would I go about finding one of those?

Well my little guy didnt make it. Found him this morning. I've raised the temp though and the other one seems fine. I feed them a variety of food, frozen bloodworms, (thawed first) brine shrimp, and green algae.

Thanks a lot! Will a temp of 80 harm the other fish I have?

No abnormalities on the body. He looks completely normal. Water changes done once a mouth. I have a wet/dry filter. He doesn't look like he is gasping for air. He is swimming with his face kind of pointing up. Hes not really swimming either just kind of floating in one area.

The other fish are platys, bristlenose plecos, and ghost shrimp. I vaccuem out the bottom once a month cause I have a wet-dry filter. I feed once a day six days a week. Temp is at 77. No stringy feces.

Hi, I have a marble angelfish about 2in across and 3ins from top to bottom. I have had it for 6 months now and until today everything has been absolutely fine. When I came home today I noticed that he was just hanging out in the corner not swimming around like it usually does. When I dropped...

i like the idea of some kind of cloth over the bowl. Ill have to look into getting some kind of material before we get our next fish.

My betta was living in a 1 gallon fish bowl on our coffee table. He seemed very happy. He ate like a pig all the time and would flair at me whenever I came to the bowl. I woke up yesterday morning and found him laying on the carpet about 2 feet away from the table! He had jumped out, flopped a...

These are my girls. The light colored one is Daisey and the dark one is Minnie. There two months old.

Does anyone know anything about the carrying and raising of ghost shrimp. One of mine is currently carring eggs. There kind of green right now and there is a lot of them. Any advice would be great. Thanks

Yesterday, while I was setting up my new 40 gallon tank, I had put all my fish into certain bowls with the old tank water. I had my honey gourami in a large bowl with the water filled up about half way. While I was working I heard a splash and just assumed that the fish were ready to get out...

Does anyone know anything about wet/dry filters? I just got a 40 gallon tank that has one build into the back of it. I filled up the tank and plugged the power head in and it is running. I just dont know anything about them, like maintaing, the bio-balls, how often I need to change the mesh that...

Thanks everyone. My angels are with some platies and the honey gourami now and there has never been any problems. They good little fish. So thanks agian!! :good:

I might be purchasing a 40 gallon tank in the next day or two. Im a little concerned that I might have to many fish for it. I have a 20 gallon and a 10 gallon. So all together I have 2 angels, there about the size of a half doller, 9 platies, 2 corys, 1 honey gourami, and 1 bristlenose pleco. Oh...

So both of the baby pandas I had have died. I dont understand it. I know my water is fine as I have checked it and the lfs. Everyone else is perfect. They seemed fine the first two days and one the third day both times I woke up and they were dead. :sad:

I had a cycle because I changed the filter I was using. I had a tetra that was in the tank and I thought it took up to much space so I went back to the one that hangs on the back. I made sure that I put some of the old sponge in the new so that it would still have some bacteria. The tank is fine...

my panda didnt make it. It might have been the stress I dont know. I took him and a water sample to my lfs. They dont test with the strips but with the liquid drops. He said my water was just fine. I know it was cause I had just done a water change and tested it myself the day before I got him...

Not yet, hes with two peppered corys. They had so many that Im going back to get 2 or 3 more. They were only 5 dollers at one of my lfs. The other one carrys them but there so hugh and there 8 bucks there. I wanted to start with babies. I dont have sand just small peppels. They all seem to get...

that might be it but I just figured with all of them that at least one would be pregnant by now.

I only have one and its about 3 in long. And thanks too.

Has anyone else had trouble breeding platys? I have one male and four females in a 20 gallon tank and one male and three females in a ten gallon tank. Now I watch my fish every day and there has yet to be a sign on any breeding going on. Ive had all these platys for about 3 months now and no...

Those are really beautiful corys you got there. Congrats!!

So I got the Indian almond leafs in the mail the other day and but a piece in the 1 gallon bowl I have him in. I put a tiny dose of melafix and have been feeding him a high protein diet. I haven't noticed any changes yet but, its only been two days. So hopefully he will be getting better soon.

hope these one turn out better then the last

I know poor guy. Hes in with the rest of the corys now and there all getting along just fine. I had to float him and get him use to the water in my tank before I could throw him in.

Here is my new baby. I love him so much already

ha ha ha "A" for effort though. :good: Ive looked a long time for him. I think he might actually be a she. So I would like to find a male so they can spawn.

awesome thanks. Its been kind of tough finding information on him. Im going to spoil him the best I can that way he'll live a super long time. Hes one of the best fish Ive had to date.
