That is correct doc7. It's just an aid. Like it was stated earlier, nothing replaces experience when it comes to compatibility of fish due to mouth size, aggression, etc. This is just a visual way to look at water stat compatibility.

Rogue4Fish; I have no idea what it is like. Over the last little while, I have been learning more about keeping fish. When looking into fish that I like, I decided to make this simple little excel spreadsheet and graph because I got confused and tired of comparing numerical stats. Once the...

here are the screen shots. I'm also toying with the idea of making one using macros to track tank parameters via control chart to let people know if their tank is acting up before it gets out of control. I'm just starting it for mine. I work with stats all day long and I see that fish keeping...

I've used several sources for information. The program its self actually requires a lot of the information to be input by hand. I will show some screen shots to gauge interest and then go if there are favorable reviews I will upload it to a file share site. More or less the program (more of a...

I have developed an excel file that I'd like to share with the forum. It's a compatibility/stocking aid Unfortunately I'm not allowed to upload an excel file to the boards.... Can a moderator or someone help?

I'm actually not a fan of it either...... don't have the heart to move it yet.... The otto loves to hide in there. I will be looking for a nice cave like structure that looks more realistic. I may just wind up making one from pvc pipe and rocks.

They do get bloodworms, but not as a staple. All my fish are fed a small amount of flake twice a day, enough that they eat it all quickly and very little if any makes it to the bottom of the tank. As for the bloodworms, twice a week they get a treat that is either an algae tablet, dried...

Thanks!!! I'm still worried (hopefully without cause) about those two swords.

I inherited a 55 gal tank through an unfortunate loss of a family member about 3 years ago. I knew absolutely nothing about fish, so I just fed the 6 angels, 3 plecos, 1 Otto and 1 white skirt tetra. Everything was fine until I introduced 3 clown loaches to the tank. I believe the loaches...

I am far from an expert, but just looking at it I'd possibly do some research on "dropsy" from what I've read it's rare in clown loaches, but I saw a thread on another forum where the fish looked similar to yours. Best of luck!!! Darryl

Thanks for the information FreedomFighter. I do like keeping fish already (had the tank for about 1.5 years) but was getting sick of looking at the angels and the plecos.... Wanted some variety so I picked up the mollies. Was debating getting some clown loaches also, but am putting that on...

Hi everyone. This being my first post, I'll do a quick intro. Name is Darryl age 42 got into fish through a relative unfortunately passing away. That's the short story. I have a 55 gal tank, no live plants. 8 angels (few years old) 3 plecos (4 if you include the surviving offspring) 3 black...
