As far as I know, no, there isn't.

That's a bit of an exaggerated metaphor, don't you think? :unsure: A dog in a cupboard is to a fish in a small drinking glass, which is a lot smaller than a 65 gallon tank.

Just to clarify: you don't NEED 18+ inches of height for angelfish. They're not going to drop dead. But it is ideal.

I do think it's acceptable to treat fish as "just fish or owned property." It's not ideal or the best possible situation, but... I don't think it's a crime. I treat my fish well because I want them to live as long as possible. I don't really have a preference as to how other people treat their...

Did I say anything about how I choose to take care of my fish? :unsure: I was simply explaining to him that in any hobby there is always such a dichotomy of people. In fact, I practice everything you stand for -- I don't overstock my tanks, I clean and do water changes frequently, and I take...

You have to realize where on the internet you are, lee k. The majority of people on this forum are fanatical and very stringent about the health and set-up of fish and the tanks they reside in. Just like in every hobby there are extremes of people -- those who get fish to look at them and care...

Are you saying you think they're robotic or something along those lines?

Right, but I was wondering for example if anyone had seen them and in what part of the lakes (farther out or close to the shore), so I could determine if I needed to bring a fishing boat.

For those of you who haven't heard of these: http://nas.er.usgs.gov/queries/FactSheet.asp?speciesID=1068 These "jellyfish" (while not technically jellies, they're the closest freshwater have) are fascinating me. I would love to have a small tank of these beautiful organisms. :drool: Has...

Would a male golden wonder killifish be compatible with a hatchet fish?

I have kept a dwarf gourami and a golden wonder killifish together before, and they didn't fight at all. However, a 10 gallon tank is WAY too small for a common pleco. They get 2 feet long and will quickly outgrow your tank.

He stopped swimming against the glass, but just now he violently attacked a plant. It wasn't moving or anything, he just attacked it. O_O Is this normal?

Hello, My blue dwarf gourami was introduced to my tank yesterday and was fine until a few minutes ago. I got home from work and the moment he saw me he started swimming frantically against the glass and has been doing that for almost 10 minutes now. He just goes up and down. He's not smashing...

Thank you WhatTheJack and Ghipsi, the ID is appreciated

Hello, I'll only have this angelfish for another day and I'd like to have it identified. I looked on the internet at numerous pictures and couldn't find any type of angelfish that quite matched what this one looks like. Take a look: I'm sorry for the picture quality. It's really blurry, but I...

I personally would not get fish from a tank with many dead/diseased fish, but that's a personal preference. Ideally, you should get your fish from healthy tanks.

Alright, if it's cruel then I will probably return the angelfish later today and get the others I was thinking of stocking. It's too bad, angelfish are gorgeous... but I don't want to use them just for aesthetic pleasure. Thanks, Synaesthesia

Wills, thanks for all of the advice. I appreciate it. I cycled it by adding ammonia to the tank. I also used some gravel and filter material from a friend's already established (clean and disease-free, of course) tank for faster bacteria growth. The problem is that for the next year I simply...

Thank you M.R Otter. I've been feeding them once a day because 3 times seemed excessive. Any more opinions on the stocking?

Hello everyone, I had small tanks when I was a child but have only just now started trying aquariums as an actual hobby. Basically, my question is whether the following fish will fit in a 15 gallon (approx. 57 liters) normal rectangular tank. It is moderately plant, has been cycled, and water...
