wow, ive never once heard this explanation... but if its true that explains a lot. thanks :good:

20 gallon long this light... http://www.amazon.com/Aqualight-High-Output-Light-Fixture/dp/B002P9R2GO dose with liquid fertilizer (seachem flourish) no carbon as of now, i'm still waiting for the diffuser to come in the mail and i change the water once a week, about 25% my long term goal is...

it is a complete mystery to me why my plants never seem to do well. i recently bought an expensive t5 light and i've been adding 'flourish' fertilizer for a while now but still nearly every leaf in the tank has yellow or brown tips that is probably a sign of whats to come. one thing came to...

is that a 2.5 gallon tank from petsmart? whats up with those things, the lids are air tight! what pet expert could have possibly designed that? i have two of them and i have to resort to keeping them lidless because of that ridiculous design.

is there any way to sex them when they're young? being that he'll be the only cichlid in the tank i want to make sure i get a male that'll grow large and colorful. what are signs of healthy hardy juvenile male jack dempseys?

thank you wills. the tank would be 55 us gallons. after caring for a smaler community tank for a couple of years now i really want something that would be very low maintenance. I don't want to deal with breeding, aggression problems, sick fish, territory issues, or plants. lol but i would...

im moving into a new apartment soon and i want to get myself a 55 gallon tank. when i do im thinking about putting nothing in it but one small jack dempsey (about 3-4 inches) and about 8 giant danios. in a well decorated tank with no other competing fish to cause stress, do you think this...

i always advise against pairs or trios of gouramis. i love em, but they dont pal around the way cichlids do. it'll just be a lot of chasing and harassing, especially during mating. i have a trio in a 20 gallon tank right now. if i could do it over, i'd just have one male.

will they kill eachother? probably not. but they will fight alot. i dont think its worth the unnecessary stress.

ah, bummer. theres only one lfs around me that carries dwarf cichlids and most of the time they only have kribs. but i don't want to deal with aggression so i guess i'll have to find bolivian rams. i also read somewhere that festivums stay at 4 inches but i guess that was bad information...

20g long planted this is what i have now... 3 dwarf gouramis (1 male, 2 female) 7 white cloud minnows 3 corys 2 otos and i'd like to add 1 kribensis 1 bolivian ram and maybe a festivum any thoughts would be appreciated

is t5 lighting a significant improvement from traditional lights? my plants aren't thriving the way i thought they would.

i think they're awesome being that they get pretty big and are relatively peaceful. i've only seen them in stores one or two times though.
