Well it's definitely good to know this, because I really wanted to use this wood, and I have cleaned it with hot water, gave a scrub down just for extra measure and it's going to be the basis in my 50G cube, which is going to be planted, when I finish my 50-breeder cichlid tank. I purchased...

I've got a 50G Cube that I would like to set up planted. I don't wont to introduce fish for a while because I would like to be able to firmly establish my plants without constantly pestering my fish and it also gives me time to research and save up for stock that I want to have. . . Anyway, what...

Let's get some experience's and factual know-how here. . . What's the worry level (of lets say transfered parasites and such things we all worry about bringing into our tanks) for putting drift wood into one's tank, that is not from the store, but is found on the beach and cleaned at home, when...

My boyfriend and I have housed a male/female pair together in the same tank - granted it was a 65 hexagon so there is a lot more space, and it was planted so there was area and room for the female to hide if her counterpart became aggressive or something along those lines. Pardon my probably...

Alright well lets see, Im not a discus keeper, but I do like them so I read a lot about them. I know people say that you should give 10 gallons per discus. I know you'd have to get rid of the BGK, as far as other fish people have had success keeping discus and angels, the tetra should be fine...

Okay, so this just sprang into my head and I don't really know how to figure it out - mind you I AM NOT going to do this to my tank but I was just thinking about it and I'm not sure so here's the question; Does a pH lowering chemicals that you use in your fish tank do the same thing that a...

Oh, no worries :) I wasn't offended. I actually bought another piece of Texas Holy Rock today and then I also bought dither fish to sort of make the atmosphere in there happier (Zebra Danios) and then I bought a BlueBerry Peacock. The guy I talked to at the local pet store has raised and bred...

Alrighty, well thats okay. I wasn't too worried about it, I just wanted to make sure that I didn't end up getting told one thing and then putting the fish in my tank only to find something terrible happen. I appreciate it! Thanks!

Here are some pictures, pardon the lack of a background on the tank, I would like to put a black background on it so that you don't have to look through and see the wood panel wall behind it but that will come in time. Also, I would have taken a picture of the Dafodill Brichardi that was in...

It is cycled actually. It's been cycling since mid-May (it was an early birthday present and so we started it cycling as early as possible). By just set up I mean we just got the decor in the tank set up and ready for fish, I wanted to have a small amount of decor already purchased, cleaned and...

I'm curious, can these two different lakes of cichlid fish live together in a tank? I was at the pet store and asked what cichlids could go together in this tank (besides just housing Tanganyika) and the guy in the aquarium area said it might be possible to house Malawi with them. Is this really...

Yay! I've gotten my first cichlid! I've finally gotten my tank set up the way I like, with the experienced help of my boyfriend (though he will admit he knows very little about african cichlids, and more about the tropical fish so it's a learning process for both of us) . We set up the decor...

Excitement! :yahoo:

I'm eagerly working on finishing the set up of my cichlid tank. I'm picking out the rocks right now, and have three large texas holy rock pieces to go in, but I also kept a hold of some flat rocks I found while one a vacation. They are what seems to be sand stone and I did the vinegar test only...

Alright, so I'm setting up a new 50G (Cube, so probably 49G actually) tank and before I actually get the ball rolling I wanted to research a broad range of community and peaceful fish to see what could be housed in there. I've compiled a small list and was researching through the fish. List...

There is not common average in quality and care between a single chain of aquarium hobby stores unfortunately. I'm glad to hear that you're concerned with the care and health of the Betta's in the store! :nod: Most people think that keeping this fish in small bowls and vases is alright and...
