    Ciclid Caves

    Naturalcreations.com has some but they're not the ones your talkiing about. I was looking for fish on the web the other day and seen the ones your asking about but I can't remember where. The coconut caves work well, I have 2 in my 29 gallon and it only took a few hours to make them, boiling...

    Biotodoma Cupido

    Thanks tree. I live in Florida so everything is either farm raised or bought from a breeder or at least that's what my LFS owner tells me. One of my gold rams has gotten really aggressive so I'm having second thoughts on the cupido. It's a community tank with Rasboras, panda corries, neons and 2...

    Biotodoma Cupido

    I was hoping they'd be ok together. My LFS said it would be ok but I wanted to hear what others had to say. Trying to make an informed choice. They look like big rams that's what caught my eye.

    Biotodoma Cupido

    I'm thinking of getting 1 of these for my 29 gallon. How's their temperment? Will one be ok with a couple gold rams? I already do 1-2 water changes a week for the rams. That being said will that be ok for a cupido? Tank stats are Temp=80 PH=7.2 Nitrate=5-10 (closer to 5) Ammonia and nitrite are...

    Adding A 2nd Filter?

    I'll give it a shot. Your advise is always good! I use small micro pellets and I count how many I put in every day. I'll cut it in half. Thanks for the help. I'm going to add the second filter also. I'll do both to make sure my fish are ok.

    Adding A 2nd Filter?

    I'm going to be adding a 2nd filter to my planted 29. It currently has a biowheel 150, the box says for use up to a 30 gallon tank. I'm going to be adding another just like it. Will it have any effect on my cycled tank? I don't want to cause a mini cycle. It's cheaper fo me to buy a 2nd filter...

    Black Sand

    That's the same stuff I got. It's CaribSea Super Naturals aquarium gravel. Tahitian moon.

    Black Sand

    I've got a black substrate that is very similar to sand. It's extremely fine black shiney gravel. I can't remember the name but as soon as I get home I'll post it. It's about 2 months old and hasn't faded like the black gravel in my bigger tank. I'm in the U.S. though.

    Picky Ram

    You get those at the grocery store betta? I'm in Florida. I'll go get some for sure. I didn't know it helps with parasites or I would already be doing it.

    Picky Ram

    Yeah I figured out the problem. I have to drop food in and walk around the corner where he cant see me. I peek around the corner and he eats fine when I'm not in the room. Goofy fish!

    Chipped Tank!

    Its the old one moose. Sorry I didn't see that before. It hasn't gotten any worse but it's in the lower half.

    Newbie Question

    My LFS is the same way. I got a 1 hour lecture on overfeeding my first trip in. Before they will sell you a fish that needs a mature tank the owner will ask everything about your tank. The more expensive the fish the more he asks. The best part is there is not 1 dog, cat, bird, or reptile in the...

    Chipped Tank!

    Thanks, looks like I've got some work to do.

    Chipped Tank!

    Ive got an idea of what to do. Buy a big enough container to hold the plants, driftwood and granite. Net the fish and put them in a bucket. ( I don't want to but I think I have to). I'll have the new tank with black sand rinsed and ready to go before messing with the existing one. Empty out the...

    Chipped Tank!

    If it wasn't for bad luck I'd have none. While cleaning my tank I bumped a peice of granite I had leaning on another to make a cave and wouldn't you know it hit the side and chipped the glass. It's a 29 gallon planted with 12 small fish. It's filtered with a bio wheel and was fishless cycled...
