Yeah but I tried something to test this: I put a few of the gouramis and angels in a new, uncycled tank (a day old). No orange tint. The other guys in the proper tanks have them. Lol this is a bit fun to observe but I wanna make sure this is normal. :)

Greeting all. I've noticed that the inside eyes of my fish (on the top part) have like an orange tint in them. My fish are only gouramis and angelfish. Strange actually. Water quality is spot on. Another thing; in my other tanks, only the gouramis and angelfish have them. Every other fish does not.

Hey guys. My neighbor has a crowntail betta in a small tank. I know those guys grow to only be about 3 inches but his is 6 inches! Is that even possible?

Haha true! :D Thanks! He's quite a handful to care for. :P

Nooooooooooo! I'd never eat my babies! XD

They aren't "native" to the Philippines but the can be found naturally here. I've been eating some since I was a kid. :D

Thanks! It doesn't dry up in England? Not even once? Wow A Flowerhorn!?!?!?! Strange that he'd end up in a swamp! There are lots of fish stores nearby but I can't imagine the staff just throwing them away.

BulubaBulubaBuluba!!!! XD

New resident rescued from birds this time! Got him yesterday but I forgot to upload a pic of him. I have no idea what it is. At first I thought it was some sort of tilapia, but now I'm not so sure. I put him in my third rescue tank (wow right? ) since he is very aggressive. :P Strangely, the...

Nah, he's not that long. Probably half of my arm. He's in a separate tank since he gives a pretty nasty bite. When I first found him, he nipped my finger a bit!

Finally got him! Bad quality cause I couldn't focus the camera. The guy's movements were quick!

Nice fish! Is the tilapia behaved and not digging up the sand? Mine is being a constant nuisance. :D

Well, here's the lake/swamp pic. It rained a little so there's a bit of water now. There's still a lot of dry parts though. Sorry for the bad quality. I couldn't get close enough since I was wearing sneakers instead of boots. I'll get better ones tomorrow. ;) I rescued an eel today. It's kinda...

Lol sure! :D I'll post it tomorrow since it's already night time here and I can't see a Darn thing out there right now. Thanks! Hehe maybe one day, you'll find some treasure when you're bored. :D

Lol thanks! True, I'll need more tanks. I have a 35 gallon tank right now that's not being used. After I cycle it, it rescue time! Well the lake here is more like a stagnant swamp then a crystal-clear lake since it gets most of its water by the surrounding, natural lakes nearby when it rains...

I got quite bored today (too much extra time on my hands! XD) and decided to rummage about in the attic for something interesting. To my surprise, I found a 30 gallon tank! I don't really know how long or how it got up there (probably one of my dad's old ones that he didn't mention to me) so I...

Yep. I've had such moments like this. There was this one time (quite recently actually) in my fish keeping life that really made me want to bash my aquariums. I had this big exterior filter (the one where the powerhead is in the water and the filter box is on top outside) on the top of my tank...

Hey guys! I'm restocking one of my tanks with new fish. As of now, only 1 gourami, 1 angelfish, and 1 bronze pleco. It's quite bland and lonely so I was wondering what kind of fish would be compatible with them. If possible, I'd like them to be a rather big size. Maybe around 5 inches up. Oh...

Phew! That's good to hear. For a second there, I thought it would be harmful. Yes, the carbon is in the filter and not in the tank itself. At least now, I found a better solution in removing the mod color instead of waiting for the water to evaporate and slowly replacing the lost water with...

After a successful treatment of ich, all my fish are now well and I am now going to remove the green med stuff. They said active carbon removes this. How long does it take? I'm using a small bag of it in a 35 gal tank. I'm worried that it might take to long and "de-cycle" my tank. Sorry if the...

Anybody familiar or used this medicine before? I thought it might be good since it's cheap and treats ich well (according to my fishy expert friend). Unfortunately, it makes the water green. Just wanted to get some solid info on it. Also, just out of curiosity, is there any way to remove the...

Well I've been keeping angels on their own for years now and they've been doing quite well without any other angel mate or group. In fact, they're quite happy actually! I've read around a lot and asked many experts and they said that it's ok to have an angelfish kept alone. Of course, it would...

Thanks for the replies guys! My tank's around 50 gallons (I think) so it should grow quite big. :D I think my angel might be a scalere or an altum. It looks similar to both. :)

I bought an angelfish yesterday. It's a white one with black, vertical stripes. Right now, he's only around 2-3 inches high. I forgot to ask the pet store if this is the variety of angels that grow to a small size only or grow to a big size. Any way to tell if he's a pygmy angel or a normal...

Basically, stunting in fish is when it stops growing physically (I imagine quite painfully). Stunting can lead to death or a shortened lifespan. As for what Snakeskins eat, they eat almost anything. :) Flakes, bloodworms, pellets, peas, etc. It isn't hard to feed them. Tank mates...

Well, I'm no expert on fish but I do know a lot about them. After all, I've owned countless ones. :D They really are fantastic creatures! They are, in general, very peaceful. They often mind their own business and stay clear of any other squabbles. Of course, you may end up with a ruffian but...

Been a while seen I was here. Anyway, I bought myself my 3rd and newest aquarium. It's a 35 gallon tank that will house 2 Angelfish and a Snakeskin gourami (maybe 1 more depending on how they "like" the tank). Right now tho, I can't seem to think up some creative ideas for the tank setup...

It's got lots of plants :lol:. Hopefully that'll work. I'll update regularly.

Well I changed my current filter to one that does not produce a strong current and things are looking fine for now. I never thought it would be the gouramis :blink:. They're very peaceful most of the time :good:. Normally, I wouldn't risk compatibility issues like that but if I remove the betta...

I have a 35 gallon tank with only 3 fish inside: 1 angelfish and 2 sankeskin gouramis. My cousin gave me his betta that was in poor living conditions (he literally lived in a large jar!). I put him in my 35 gallon tank and things looked promising. For a few minutes, he wasn't attacking anybody...

My snakeskin gourami has a slightly bloated stomach. The bloating's not that severe. In fact, it's only noticeable upon closer inspection. He's a male so I don't suspect pregnancy. Nothing seems to be wrong with him. He swims fine, no "pinecone scales", he's very active, eats fine, and his feces...

Yeah I guess that's the only solution left. Shame though. It'll be sad to see him alone like that. :-(

Hmm good idea. But I'm just worried that he'll get them too. He already attacked my Plecos before.

I was thinking more along the lines of a semi-tough fish so that he'll be strong enough to not get murdered by my opaline but at the same time, peaceful enough so that he won't cause too much chaos. XD

So what type of bully fish would be good? I think a flowerhorn would be too much. My friend's flowerhorn was big so he ate his 5 inch tinfoil barb tank mate.

I tried that before. He killed one :crazy: and after trying to mate with the other, he nearly killed her as well. :sad:

My cute, little opaline gourami has now grown to an amazing 5 inch adult. Trouble is, now that he's an adult, he's become overly aggressive. He attacks any fish I have to death. He lives in a 55 gallon aquarium with 2 angels, a snakeskin gourami, a pleco, a small bala shark and some tetras. All...

Yeah I'm looking to buy a new 55 gallon ASAP. How long could they possibly live in the 15 gallon?

Our family went out of the city for a day to visit some relatives. When I got back, my 55 gallon aquarium had no water left and all the fish were floundering about! :unsure: Many of the fish didn't make it (I don't know how long they were out of water) but the ones that did I put in my backup...

Haha cool! :lol: Haven't seen any setup that combines lunacy with awesomeness!! :good: :hyper:
