Hey, while I was at a pet store I saw some fish had the letters "lg" beside their name. eg. lg neon tetra instead of neon tetra. Does anyone know what this means? those fish with lg beside their name would cost significantly more than those without. just curious :blink:

I have red-eared sliders in there lol. The bug will just get munched up. dang it, I can't seem to find the bug now :crazy:

ya, to be honest, I don't have a net lol :blush: Come to think of it, I have a fully setup 75 gal and 10 gal aquarium yet I don't have a net! Maybe it's just my luck that I never had a fish die in my tank (unless I get something to eat it). I'm not exaggerating, all my fish have survived...

Thanks everyone! Now I can relax knowing it's not some mutated abomination from the depths of my aquarium :lol: How should i remove it? I don't have a net or anything. Is it safe to remove it by hand? eek...

OK, so I had this 10 gal aquarium for a long, long time. It is currently heavily planted with lots of guppies and fry. Also, it has been completely sealed with one of those aquarium hoods. I looked in today, and there was this strange insect-like creature sitting on one of my plants. I have no...

WOW thanks for the replies everyone! I guess I can't get a definite answer due to the variation of each house :sad: Just wondering, is it ok to put an aquarium in the basement? to answer the above post, the aquarium I want to buy has a stand 50 inches wide and 20 inches deep by the way...

thanks for the reply, did Ian H considered this? (just wondering)

Yes thank you for the link apparently I have to put it against a support wall, perpendicular to the floor joists? Anyone have a more concise version of that link? lol and also ive considered having it in the basement but the weak stair will collapse for sure lol =(

This is an uncommon question, but has anyone considered the aquarium's WEIGHT when buying it? Because I'm about to buy a 100gal aquarium but Im not sure if my house can support it. Im planning to put it on the first floor (wooden) of my semi-detached house, so will my floor get damaged over...

I have a few questions!!! have you ever factored in the WEIGHT of your aquarium? Because im about to buy a similar sized aquarium but a friend of mine said that his office (with clay floor) couldn't even support a fully filled 100gal aquarium. Where is your aquarium currently situated (home...

Status: bought Hi is there anyone getting rid of aquariums in Canada lol? Looking for preferably, 70 to 90 gallon aquarium with light fixture. I am willing to pay $200 for the aquarium and stand. I will pay more if you have accessories like filters, gravel etc. If you are close to...

Ok thanks for the replies! I went to Big Al's recently and saw that they had a 75gal aquarium for 120$, a matching glass hood for $110 so total $230 for the aquarium and hood. Another price was $430 for the 75gal aquarium + glass hood + wooden stand So I just wana ask, is this a good deal or...

Thanks people, lots of replies! In terms of classifieds,t he town I live in has a minuscule population, so there's hardly anything under the pet/supplies lol well, I guess I'll look in Craigslist..... Just wondering, can anyone provide an example of how much a tank should cost, or tell me...

Yes, I realized that filters and accessories will also be a large part of the budget but I'm, in a sense, taking one step at a time. I have seen reasonable filters, and for accessories, I'm keeping it cheap :hyper:

WOW $175 for 90 gal! The PetSmart near us sells a 40gal with limited equipments for $450 and a 70gal with stand but no equipment for $830!!! Anyways thanks for the replies

Hi, I have recently joined fish forums and have found this site to be extremely helpful and informational. After learning so much about the aquarium hobby, I decided to upgrade to a 40-70 gal tank. However, does anyone know any companies (online), that sells relatively cheap aquariums?? I live...
