    We would like to switch to a 20 gallon tank (see siggy for current tank). How do we go about this? Do we do the same thing as we did for the 10 gal, cycling and all? Could we put some of the rocks and the filter (it is a 30 gal wheel filter) from our current tank in the 20 gal to speed the...

    Okay, so I go to the tank this afternoon to feed the 2 platies we bought on Friday. What do I see? 2 babies! What do I need to do for the babies? The are alive, and swimming up at the top of the tank, near the heater. Any special food we need to get? I guess now we need to hold off on...

    How to change water

    How do I go about changing the water in the tank? I got 2 small red platies to help finish cycling the tank (I have been testing the water, and it seems to be right on target with the directions on the box), but need to know how to change the water, and how often. And how much. Thanks so much...
