ok thanks

Ok my silver dollar has a spot on his back fin. It looks almost as if a piece of black gravel, or like a (small black snail shell of some sort) is stuck to his fin. He doesn't seem to be bother him, but I was wondering what this was and how to fix it (If possible). My other silver dollars and...

Hi, I live in Kentucky, USA. And I have been to a lot of LPS around my town and cannot find anything besides a veil tailed betta. I really want to get a couple imbellis one's for my community tank. I was wondering if anyone knew of a reasonable place I can go to get them. Or if there is...

Well the way fishless cylcing works as far as I know is that you add a certain amount of ammonia (depending on tank size), and do this on a daily basis I believe untill you start to show 0ppm ammonia, 0ppm nitrIte, and around 20 or so ppm nitrate. Once you have that you have cycled your tank...

I wouldn't, I would wait till the treatment is over.

I've had mine almost a year and he seems that same as he always has, Just a little bigger and his fins are a lot longer than when I got him. So I'm not sure either maybe when they hit the 2.5-3 year mark because they usually don't live longer than that I believe.

:( that's sad, are you getting another one?

You should get one of those invisible fences and he can wear a collar and when he trys to jump out it'll give him a little shock lol. But seriously that is the only idea i have, maybe some small piece of glass or something you can replace the plastic film with?

That's awesome, I have a solid black one and all he does is try to mate with my female one lol. I need to get him another g/f so she can have some rest I spose. But to be on topic, I've never heard of this thing you are discribing about your fry. I would wait a while and see what happenes.

Yeah I would love that tank, I could never get it in my room. Man $150 for all that, that's a deal in a half. GL with you new tank ^_^

That's a mighty fine fish tank you got there. I like that plant you got there behind the little bridge.

that's a mighty fine number of fry you got there, I only got one but It makes him/her easier to name lol.

I was looking into it and discovered that they do not make such a thing at least on the internet. So I got to thinking about it and I think i'm going to get a ACDC power inverter and a car battery, all in all it's cost like $90 (Maybe cheaper i have to check the volts and such to amke sure it'll...

Mine is named Carl the Crimson Wonder, and my girlfriend calls him Clifford the little red fish...... He responds to both.

I haven't, I am thinking about getting some though. When the power went out the other day. I put a ton of blankets over my tank. It stayed at about 71 for a day then the next morning it was at 60. And they said the power could be out as long as 15 days, so I don't even know if my power is going...

I'm so jealous, I wish I could have Discus but do the the lasck of room and funds that's a far off dream. Very very nice looking fish though.

You must live near me (or the east side of the country) I'm going throught the same problem my tank got down to about 60 but my power is back on. I hope your fish do ok, and you get your power on soon :)

Fiirst off congratz on getting a betta, he is definatley a VT betta. as far as the whole way he is acting part of it of course is the stress of a new enviroment. I would suggest maybe keeping the lights off that seems to help fish settle in. Also even though you have a large tank, with betta...

I recently had a crisis with a huge power outage where I live. The power was out about a day and a half and it may still go out. (so far I am lucky all my fish have survied :) I was wondering if there were battery operated heaters for fish tanks and battery operated airation pumps for fish...

Not that I have seen I imagine that the other one's (If there were any) didn't make it.... So I was reading about fry cages and such and I have a pretty large one and since it's just one do you all think it would be fine in there untill I can release him into the tank?

I was going to work this morning and I was looking in my tank and low and behold I had a baby molly. I put it in a fry net for now (since I wasn't prepared for babies yet :P) But I'm just so happy that he survived the day without it :0. I know it's not hard to get mollys to mate, but I'm just so...

Yeah it was just stress, and I was the one who bagged him so I made sure to be delicate as possible. He's fine now and swimming with the others. Thanks for you help :)

So I added 3 new silver dollars to my tank about 20 min ago. I set them in the water for about 30 min and I know they are healthly because I personally took care of them at work for the last 5 months. My tank water is 0 ppm amonia 0 nitrite 10 nitrate. The other 3 silver dollars I have (2 I just...

Yeah 75 would be the minimum but it is fine, I love oscars as well. Unfortuately I don't have a large enough tank :(. But good luck with your's

They should I've not known Cory's to not be intermixable. I know you can get some panda's or paletus (I think I spell that wrong) they go good togeather.

Yeah I have to say as far as real plants, I'm just trying to keep my fish alive right now, With real plants I would probably have to change the substrate, the lights Etc, and I can't afford them either :P

Seems a bit over stocked, But not badly I would say. For the most part it seems fine but the pleco will probably get large and mean, so moving him out might be a neccesity later on. Also I believe that the giant danios are agressive as well. For the most part the guppy fry would be the most...

Fake that way I won't have to worry about lighting for my plants.

Ah, true so yeah light is just a benefit for us I spose, Lights off after 9 from now on lol.

Yeah Personally I would aviod them all togeather, But if you have a large enough tank to assure you get a variety of males and females, it's best to get 6 or so if you're really into them.

Yeah but usually those fish don't have eyes, because they live in total darkness.

Ok, I knew it would cut down on the alge I just was making sure that they would be ok to "sleep" with the light on. But yeah i'll turn it off at night cause i'm sure they would be more happy that way :). thanks

What are you water perameters (ph, ammonia, nitire etc), and which kind of molly is it? How long have you had the molly? and how long have you had the tank set up?

Just wondering, I know that fish don't sleep the same way people do, because they have to move to keep water flowing through their gills. I've heard they do go into a resting state. I was wondering should I turn off my tank lights at night so that it is easier for my fish to rest? Or is it a...

I just wanted to add (Though I think Laurafrog did a excellent job of explaining it.) That One reason most people think that betta's like small tanks is because that is what they see them in. Most LFS can't afford to put a betta in a tank the size it needs, therefore they put them in a smaller...

If I were doing a community I would put in an angle, If it was aggresive I would get a Firemouth. That's just me :)

Other than weakness is she showing any symptoms? Are there and spots or any other signs of illness?

I got a 40 gal and a 3 gal, In the 3 gal i got a betta fish (Avy pic) and in the 40 so far I got 4 zebra danios, 2 lyretail mollies, and a angle fish. I plan on putting another angle fish, 2 maybe 3 sliver dollars, 5 cherry barbs, and maybe some other things I'm not sure.

I had an epic fail a few weeks ago, Almost all my fish died due to a certain medicine I put in there. But on the bright side my tank is born again. I'm up to 7 fish now and they are thriving in there. I'm still learning on stocking but I'm slowly adding. I'm so happy that my tank is finally...

I've had my betta only 7 months and he at work for about a week before i bought him, He's still young but i've heard 3 years is like max. So nice job hope he stays alive for you for a long time.
