Well, initially we were going to take a part of the sponge from the old filter and put it into the new one, it was quite a hassle to set up the 405 and whilst setting it up the fluval u3 has been sitting out of water. I'm assuming this will have killed the bacteria? I may go down to a local...

Hello, So as of last night we made some big changes. We bougth two large tanks from a lady, as terrariums. Turns out one of them is a 100 gallon aquarium. So we transferred over the new water we put into the old one to re-establish it, and filled up to about 5 inches under the top. We...

Well the move went well, although the tank was in the cold for maybe an hour and a half in my back seat. The rocks remained damp. We set it all up last night, filled it with water, then conditioner. I am assuming because we didnt condition the water before putting it in, all the gravel...

Well, I've put this off for quite awhile, but my girlfriends dad isnt quite following the right upkeep for our aquarium so we've decided to move it. We have given our fish away (Now that were more experienced we'd like to have fish that are a little more.. Interesting) We are going to drain...

My girlfriend took it out and said its just a rock.. Frogs musta dug it up. =( I was excited.

It wont hurt it if I touch it?

well, I was thinking we would take it out and put it in a cup or something, and give it a week to see if we've created some sort of monsterous betta frog!!!

Okay.. I was curious if anyone recognizes this.. We have bettas and dwarf frogs in this tank.. Too big for an egg for either of them. But all around it looks like an egg. Uploaded with ImageShack.us

I am at work atm, so I cant give you exact values. By regular water changes do you mean daily? Last time I checked it was kinda bad.

Well, my girlfriend and myself have gone through quite the journey with our fish tank. We are trying to do everything we can, and once again we need advice. At the start, we were very unfamiliar with our tank. We started out at a pet store, to look at puppies, only to find they didnt have any...

Yeah, I talked to my girlfriends mom, who bought the fish and they were barbs. I'm certain its a tiger barb. And well, It's no big deal. We didnt really want new Molly's, it was just unexpected to see these guys out on the hunt.

Yeah, I mean my girlfriend, and my self are very interested in breeding. But were not big fans of Molly's. They do seem like fairly strong fish though. Where we had fish before, and all but 3 died. The 2 Molly's and our Pleco. The new filter is working out much better though, our water is...

I keep forgetting to take the picture.. But for the most part, these fish have been fairly aggressive.. They basically hunted down the fry's... the day they were born these 6 guys were swimming around our plants, and snatched up anything that tried to swim out. I only managed to see 2. They...

I will take a picture and upload it when I get to my girlfriends house tonight, or better yet. I will ask her if she still has the recipt for them. They are fairly small though. One other question I did have. We have added 2 live plants to our aquarium, and purchased a comprehensive fertilizer...

From what I remember, We have 2 black female molly's (Zen, and Morgan) 4 Platys (Cheech, Chong, Danger, Rorscach) 6 School fish, I'm not quite sure what they are (My gf bought them while I was away) they are fairly small though (The Brigade) 1 Pleco (3.5") (Vince) The tank is about 40gallons...

Over the past 2 or so months, there was great debate about wether our molly was just fat, or pregnant, as our male molly died about a month ago. This morning, my girlfriend calls me to tell me that she had babies, and is now alot skinnier. From what she has seen, there was three swimming...

Well, I havent really heard from anyone for awhile on here so I thought I'd make an update. Things have been pretty.. Frustrating with our overall fish experience. At the moment, we only have 2 mollies, and a pleco left in our tank. No matter what we do, how far we go the Ammonia levels on...

No, we only have fake plants in there. Should we invest in some?

For the past 3 days we have done 25% water changes (Yesterday it was almost 50% because we were cleaning out the gravel) We noticed in some areas on the gravel there was some spiderweb looking stuff, what is that? Two more of our fish died yesterday, (Our oldest molly, and our new platy)...

So, today we did a 25% water change. I couldnt afford the Master Test Kit, so I bought a single ammonia indicator (LiveNH3) It says the ammonia level is at 0. Our mollys are still sitting at the top.

Well, Now I am truly concerned. I did not have any money to go out and get that kit, but I brought some with me today and I am going to go get it on my lunch break. Another of our Platy's died today. (The one who was lost in the house) If it is ammonia poisioning, (Most likely from what...

I wanted to add that our Betta seems to be doing pretty good. He has regained his color since moving him from the tank into his bowl, and he seems to be pretty happy with eating. He does lay on the bottom, and seems to struggle staying horizontal. Going vertical to eat and having to constantly...

Okay, I will head out and purchase one of these test kits as soon as possible. After I have done so, I will post the readings on here.

Hey, We took a sample of our water into PetSmart, and from what we saw and matched up, all the numbers were good. Nitrate or nitrite was at .5 Chlorine was at 0, everything was within the okay range. The only thing that was a little on the high end was the alkalinity. (Which comes naturally...

We have had the aquarium about a month. No, we do not have a test kit. I do have a PH indicator in the tank that says it is at 7.4. We did use conditioner on all the water we have used, and any water I have changed out. I also put a few drops directly into the tank before going home last night.

Hey, Recently my girlfriend and I have started to keep fish. We first started out with a Betta, which we kept in a 2.5 gallon bowl, and without much reading we figured he would be happier in a bigger tank. We found a 35 gallon tank for 30 bucks on a local selling website (Kijiji) and set it...
