thats cool, i hope he stays with the corys even after he gets bigger than them... i have a preference to a certain fish store by my house, but they dont have the emeralds, so i have to go to petco to get em, and sadly petco isnt a good place to get fish... i think that 'could' be why i am...

yeah, like they said, they're really prone to a "mysterious" bacterial infection that they now just call Dwarf Gourami Disease... its partially because most of the D G's are bred and raised on farms, and they have plenty of antibiotics readily available on the farms, and now they dont, so they...

thats beautiful broseph... just need some taller plants and your good to go

well i got a four pack of filters (the kind you put together) and i didnt put the carbon in, i did a 40% water change, and i put in some medicine thats supposed to fight ich without raising water temperature (normally your supposed to do the 84F)... so i done did got muh fax strate lol thanks...

so im fairly new to fishkeeping... had my current fish in my 10gal for a few days, and my betta for a few weeks... but does this look like ICH?

hahaha i was thinking the same thing... i have been on wikipedia several times looking at tetra and recognized the list... anyway, when on wiki, even though the upfront list of tetra doesnt have columbianus, if you specifically go to the hyphessobrycon genus area, it has it in that list (and...

ok, well i just got done with my second interview and online survey for a managerial position at Claire's... so if all goes well (and im praying it does, so everybody wish me luck), then in a few months il upgrade to a 29g (then i can get a gold and blue gourami, i love gouramis, just dont like...

hmm... ok... but i read that the brochis splendens only gets to about 3.1 inches... i figured like two of thems little dudes would do fine... and im not saying that il never upgrage, il just see where things go from here... but im thinking il probably just get some like white skirt tetra... or...

thats really cool, i wouldnt've guessed (though i did think about the fact that Tyrone is bigger than other cory's lol)... anywho... so i plan to take the dwarf gouramis back, for one, because im a paranoid person, and now it just seems like its a waiting game to see them die... not cool... and...

wow... i just bought 1 dwarf flame, and 1 dwarf neon blue yesterday... i thought they were perfect, but this forums is really making me nervous... :blink: i dont want these kinds of issues.... just reading it makes me sad... but i dont know where to get the colisa labiosus or colisa...

thank you guys for the advice... and thanks tigerlotus for the support about the doctor... it was scary... BUT i scratched all my old ideas... i had a long talk with the petstore people... and after alot of conisderation and thought, i took back the two otto's (one died once he got to the...

well its not that the fish go fast, i didnt know they came in fresh that day, the reason i went in was, i found something thats been worrying me for the past like month and a half, so i finally went to the doctor yesterday, he checked it out, had me get and ultrasound, and it turns out its...

i have a 10g and a 1/2g... i dont believe molly's are brackish though... its possible that they could do both, but ive never heard that before... since they often go with tetras, ADF's, Guppies, Shrimp, Platys, Pleco's etc. its all good though... how come your tank has been cycling for so long...

well im sad to say, first, my female silver molly died... i noticed when i got her that one of her side fins wasnt moving, and a red spot grew on it, and she eventually just started laying on her side at the bottom, so i put her in her own bowl of fresh clean dechlorinated water... and within...

alright... well next time i wont float it, but il do the little bits of aquarium water in the bag at a time thing.... so il be careful... and hey sorry bout the thread name... just never considered that bad language, but if you do, then im cool with that, il be a good boy :D

well ok... i understand the month thing, like with bettas... but i dont thing little one inch ottos could do that... the longest id let JB go without food is like three days (and thats only if he's like constipated... i feed him everyday)... its just that when theres nothing to stick to and suck...

i thought otto's were supposed to be constantly sucking green? like always... well i didnt know what to do, so i went to get some cucumber, but it was old and mushy since we're not big cucumber eaters... but we love salad, so i a nice dark green lettuce leaf on a fork and dropped it in... il go...

so today i got my first few fish (other than JB my betta ive had for a while), 1 male dalmation lyretail molly, 1 female silver molly, and 2 otocinclus... my question, or problem is, i put a sinking waffer in for the otto's, but they can't seem to find it, they just stay on the sides instead of...

ok, so next time i will fer sher do what you guys said... about the little bits of my water in the bag at a time... but hey, i ******* love my otto's... they are soo awesome, i want more... like several more... they remind me of tiny reef sharks, which are my favorite animal... hey on a side...

well i already knew the bag float was just for the temperature... the petstore's water was a several degrees higher than mine is, the only reason i had it float so long was cause i was watching a movie, but i was right next to em... but petstore's take care of their tanks, so why is it that...

so i just bought (other than my betta ive had for two weeks in his own tank) my first few fish; 1 male dalmation lyretail molly, 1 female silver molly, and 2 otto's... and i let the petstore bag float in my 10g for about 40 minutes, and then i put the fish in the tank... with the water they came...

JB comes out to look at my face, then bolts to the other side of the tank, does a quick 540, comes back, and does it again, like four times

ok everybody, so today i went out and i bought some new bigger plants and a colorful little vase with the broken look with holes in it, and i put JB in the 10 gallon, he seemed to be scared, but who wouldnt be... so i started watching Fantastic 4 Rise of the Silver Surfer, and i noticed about...

not so good, i believe he's constipated... so im gonna fast him til wednesday or thursday, then feed him a peice of shelled cooked pea... his bellies a little round, and last night he was leaning against the wall of the tank at the bottom, and he's not been pooping, so i think i over fed him a...

Gotta love Blue bettas :D... hey whats that red plant made of... it looks soft from the pics... could be wrong though...

If you mean JB, no he's not in it yet, im gonna put him in in about a week, and get the rest of the fish in about two weeks...

so if he sits at the bottom thats not good? cause in the half gallon he does that often, i thought it was just him chillin out... but yesterday he was pretty happy, actually yesterday for the first time, he wasnt scared of me when i came up, and when i opened the top of the lid he went straight...

hmm... 40% huh... ok... i was thinking like 20% but your all the ones with fish... so my filter is very basic (it was all together as a starter kit), so it doesnt have a knob or anything to change the water flow settings... so i dont know how much is too much, and how much is too little... but...

hmm... well like i said in my last one reply, the fish person, and some other fish sites said gourami's were good to go... but i trust you guys, so il check that out first, i dont want problems... but i thought about puting jb in the new one now, but the fish person said that since that filter...

well ive had JB for about five days now, and ive been feeding him biogold pellets... as for gouramis, you both said its a no no, but the fish person told me all the other ones i picked out would pick at the betta and hurt it, and if its too pretty then the betta would fight it, so she recomended...

check it out! look at my last reply, i got a ten gallon set up today... had some graduation money left (just graduated this last may to answer your not knowing how old i am :) )

Good News Everybody!! since even though i bought a betta just cause of the clerk, i actually came to like fish and aquariums, so i went today and got a ten gallon setup!!! are you's guys happy now? haha so im gonna let it run for like two weeks, then (and i forgot what you suggested...

ok sweet... thanks you guys... and i have an interview tomorrow, if i get the job i can upgrade the tank soon... i want a five gallon panoramic tank... oh and when i do get a bigger tank, can anyone name any other pretty freshwater fish that are somewhat low maintance that would get along with a...

hmm... well the days that i would feed him, how many times (each time = 3 pellets)... so far ive been feeding him twice a day since i got him, 3 pellets at a time... in the morning and at night, and every so often (like every other day) i give him a bloodworm or two...

OH one more question... since you all know your shtuffs... i am often one to go to sleep with the tv on... is the flashing light a problem... should i like do something to block out the flashing lights? :unsure:

well im looking for a job, and it won't be til i get one that i can upgrade the tank to a gallon or three... but i named him Jauffree... odd name, but whenever i name things i just give em the first name that comes to mind... i also call him JB, his full name is Jauffree Blue... haha i thought...

so i'm pretty much new to having fish as pets (well i had a couple goldfish like six years ago, but they died)... so the other day i went to a pet store to look at tarantulas, and the chich in the fish section was hott lol, and we talked for a while and i ended up buying a male crownfish betta...
