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...
