It's not that I'm not listening, I just don't stick hard core to the one inch of fish per gallon rule. This tank has a filter rated for a 40 gallon tank on it, and I monitor the water levels. I'm not trying to be rude either; however, you don't know the dynamic within my fish tank and...

Like I said the WCMM and Rasboras I have had for over four years, they used to have bigger groups but they are the last from their schools and so were condensed into the same tank when I came to college. They've gotten on fine in their current pairs for a long time and I haven't added more for...

Hello, I have a 10 gallon tank in my dorm and I want to add a little more interest. Most of the fish in it I have had for quite a few years and are a combination from several other tanks (which is why they are not in bigger groups). There are currently 2 harlequin rasboras, 2 white clouds...

I don't have any current pictures but I put a male in with her at least two months ago and I havn't seen any sign of her being pregnant. They live in my large community tank so it's possible that if she had had fry I wouldn't find them (Like I've only ever found one guppy fry) But she doesn't...

Thanks anyway BigbruiserAl. And Dipsy I'll think about that but I'd really like to try and make the land. If I can find a 20 long I will but that instead of a 10 btw.

Man my male guppys ALWAYS do this. I usually freak out a little bit and tell them to stop (what good that does lol) I just don't like the thought of fish touching me for some reason although I love them lol Brave little fellows they are.

Yes DarkGoby is right. I don't have big bucks so am looking for something that will do well in a smaller tank. I haven't settled on frogs and most deffinately not tree frogs, as there won't be a bunch of head space. I know I want something that swims and I already said I would tailor the tank to...

Well lets see I can get a 10 gallon tank for about $13 but I think a 20 long would be so much better. Does anyone have any idea where I can get or order one? For the filter I'm thinking this or I could shell out for the pre-decorated version. Here's a very basic plan (I'll talor it to fit what...

I think it looks good, they breed pretty prolifically lol I started with one female and now have a bunch!

I think I'd like a mix of both as I want the challange of making the water and land part. I will deffinately be checking out that webstie. Thanks for the quick replies.

Well while at the local pet store I saw two huge tadpoles so when I got home I googled lol and I found the amazing world of vivariums. I decide I must have one. I made a deal with my mom where if I don't get the new baby rat I was planning on and do extra chores in a month I can set one up! I'll...

Hmmm well I'll keep an eye on it but it seems pretty content to just hang out and munch algae so far. And prob a good thing I got rid of the other one then lol

I mean like the green stuff on that fin on the right and see how the base is red.

Well that's my best guess but I'm really not sure. I bought some T.C. Tetracycline by API just incase but I wanted to see what you guys thought.

Well I went to the local petstore today just to look around. I inquired about the snails in the freshwater tanks and the girl (who was still learning) called someone more informed and was told they were all mystery snails. BUT I found this little guy and am pretty sure it's a Nerite which is...

She looks pregnant to me :) And she's very pretty I love her blue fins. Lets see if other people agree about her being pregnant. But from what I've read if female guppies are with males then they're pregnant lol From your pic you can kinda see the darker gravid spot on the back of her belly that...

Yeah I used filter media from my big tank so It was pretty much instantly cycled. She'll be fine in the 10 gallon as the celestials are barely bigger than her lol Quite young themselves. I put her in there yesterday and she looks much happier :)

Absolutely adorable! In the second pic the one on the far left reminds me of a little baby bird for some reason lol

Well went out today to look for a special guy for my special little red wag girl. The nearest fish store was out of platys because they didn't get their shipment because of all the recent snow. So I drove 45 min further and found this little guy his stripes are great and his mickey mouse is...

Well my uncle has a bunch of goldfish in his stock tank. They're mostly orange with a few white or black ones. I'm not acctually sure how they survive in there as no one feeds them. A while ago I was out with my horse, Chayan, and she went to get a drink after I fed her. A bunch of the fish swam...

I curently have a single female guppy fry living in this breeder net. She's getting bigger now and I was wondering if she will be stunted if I leave her in this untill she's big enough for the other fish in the main tank not to eat her? Or should I put her in my newly set up 10 gallon with 6...

This seems like a stupid question but does what we enter have to be a fish? Like a shrimp for example?

I always see my little guys pecking at the airline tubing and decorations to get a little algae :)

Okay I'm talking about for my 37 gallon tank (Stocking is in my sig) I have 4 male guppy's and 1 female fry whos probablly about a month or two old. She is the daughter of one of my boys and a previous female. She'll eventually be put in the big tank when she's big enough. But I'd like to get a...

Last weekend I got three new bolivian rams. The male was a little on the skinny side but he's been eating good. I cam home tonight and he is acting very wierd. His face looks kind of sunken and he is just kinda floating with the flow of the water. Every once in a while he goes to the top and...

Haha yes a yank to the rest of the world but not it the states, I'm in Texas. I got my first marimo moss ball from petsmart or petco so next time I'm near one I'll probably pick one up.

Hmm I bet that would look cool but I don't know if I can bare to break it lol If i can find another one I'll try it though.

Okay the only reason I got the fish right away is because I remembered about some extra filter media in one of my filters that I put in here. So I got 6 baby Celestials, too small for me to sex but maybe someone else has a better eye. The substrate is Eco Complete Planted Aquarium Substrate, The...

Well yesterday I got 3 young rams. The person who works there and was knowledgable about them didn't work on weekends but a random customer gave me some of his insight. I researched before I got them and I'm pretty sure I have two different genders. They still havn't fully colored up in these...

Two of them already come right up front to eat and sometimes for no reason lol. :)

Thanks for everyones help I got 3 little Bolivian Rams yesterday :)

Well got the tank cleaned out tonight, and goin to the fish stores tomorrow to look for supplies :) The previous occupants Rose and River Now in their new home. The very dirty tank I now have to clean. Ohh lookie it's clean! And hey it holds water to, that'll be helpful :)

Thank you!

Birch I have two baby Bulldog Plecos : ) Hmmm alright I'll keep thinging about it and see what these coupla stores I'm going to in dallas have this weekend.

Alright sweet, that was another thing I was going to ask about lol

Well first off I hope this is the right section lol But anyway are Black kuhli loaches the same species as regular kuhli's. The stores around here only sell the black ones but I would like to get a few of each to vary it up. Thats another question do the two different colors get along and hang...

So all those plant's will do okay without enhanced substrate or tabs, but will I need to dose liquid ferts? Or is this really low tech lol

Sweet that'll save me quite a chunk of change, thanks for all your help. And shoot wish I was to lol. What's all this talk about root tabs? Should I look into these if I got with just regular gravel/sand instead of flourite etc.

Hmm so If I were to get some Bolivian Rams how many should I get? And what's the recomended ratio?

Alright cool, I'll look up those plants I havn't been able to get to the local store to see what they have but out of these two substrates which do you think is better? Substrate 1 Substrate 2
