Honestly I'm not sure where they came from. My step dad had a TON of them. I'm supposing for some project he was doing and told me I could have as many as I wanted for my tank. He has a drum full of them still, so I can make a lot more. I really want to spread the word and maybe people will be...

Thank you ☺ they're real rock. I got them years ago and they passed the vinegar test. So I gave em a good wash and put em in my tank. They never leeched or seemed to affect my PH so I was happy with them. They are quite heavy, though.

Made these myself.. They're small for now as I didn't have a whole lot to work with. But after getting in touch with my crafty side, I'd like to make more. They're held together with Marineland sealant and it'' s pretty strong stuff. These rocks are much darker in the water with notes of orange...

No, no. The blood parrot and clowns would most definitely stay in the 90. I was talking about moving the tetras, gouramis and gbr (the tank mates i mentioned thag I got for the 90) to the smaller tank. But after some thought, that won't work because I think it'd be crowded with what it already...

Okay so.. This is crazy but.. I got tank mates in the 90. Community style- and everything looks great. However, after conversation with my girlfriend, she has decided that she'd rather use the 29g as the community tank and have this one as the cichlid/clown tank. (happy wife, happy life right...

How do you rule out the reliable ones? Ike, locally/family owned, maybe? & I'm assuming you mean stores like petsmart? Of course that'd be the next closest thing to me, I believe dang it. Maybe I should make a post and see if anyone knows of a reliable and reputable store within an hour or so of...

Well the main reason I ask for suggestions is because I am not familiar with all types of fish, or their temperaments, needs, etc. I haven't been keeping fish that long so I am only fairly familiar with the small amount I've kept & I like to learn about others and experiences with them.. I'm not...

Gracious.. My brain is on overload with all of this info you're throwing at me. All very good info, but definitely a lot. Now I feel even more confused on how to stock, lol. I feel more knowledgeable on the two above but I'm not sure if it aided in my choice or made it harder. They both seem to...

You have taught me so much in just 24 hours already. I am very thankful. I do test for Ph at the same time, although I did not know that about the natural fluctuation. Also didn't consider the co2 residing in tap water. All of this is very helpful and informative. Thank you.

I'm reading a lot of back and forth information about both angels and gouramis... A lot of people saying both species do best as a single or a single pair - although mating may cause more aggression. When reading about groups of either fish, there are a lot of people I'm seeing that don't advise...

That is another thing I was concerned about.. The Ph is certainly different. Last night, the Ph in the 20g bucket housing the fish looked to be about 6.4 and the main tank is a steady 7.2/7.3 Last night, I did a 50% water change in temporary "tank" with fresh conditioned water. Which I believe...
