last night my daughter came and got me and said i had gourami fry. they are in my 210. i can't believe it. the tank is 29" deep and i had seen my gold male had been building bubble nests for several weeks, but was not even sure my blue was female. i have hundreds of babies. :wub: is it...

rule of thumb is 1" of fish(adult size) per US gallon. you need a minimum of 3 of any schooling fish. if you plant the tank well, after you have become familiar with your setup and if you do regular maintenance, you can usually stock a little heavier than this. good luck and hope i have...

i have tanks on every available surface in the house. desks, end tables, kitchen counter, 2 tv stands, dressers, and one very odd looking table with eagles as legs given to me by a friend. i only have 3 on store bought stands. but make sure the ENTIRE frame is supported evenly. use a level...

gee, i can't even get my dogs to sit still for santa hats. your discus must be very well trained :rofl:

insulate the tanks and run airstones with your battery pack. it will last longer that way.

our pet smart is actually very good. rarely see dead fish and most of the employees seem to know what they are talking about. now pets plus is a different story. i couldn't even see the fish in half their tanks last time i was in there.

sounds like you are almost there. you are adding ammonia daily right? if so keep it up and a couple more days should do the trick.

i lost power for 31 hours this summer with a hurricane. the only problem i had was in my angel tank, it is my most heavily stocked. i had a car battery adapter that i ran my filter for about 1/2 hour a couple of times on that tank when they started looking bad and i didn't lose anything. of...

when i got my 210 in august i set it up and started cycling (fishless) about a week later i got a shipment of plants which i planted to help the cycle along. a few days later there was a tiny little fry swimming around in the the 210. he stayed there till cycled, then i moved him before...

if that is a 20 yard container, then i would say it is a grown man. they are about 5' deep. now if i can just figure out filtration, i think i found a fish tank i have room for :lol: hubby just said there was no other spot IN the house to fit another one :angel: :angel: :angel:

i have 3 panda cories, they are absolutly adorable :wub: i wish now i had waited and gotten 3 more pandas for that tank instead of going with 3 pepper. and i think the pandas stay a little smaller. i know mine are the smallest cories i have.

many people fast their fish on a regular basis. it is supposed to be good for them. they also will keep their tank cleaner if they get hungry once in a while and start grazing on algea etc.

i have a theme going in my angel tank, the angel fish are, angel, spike, fred, gunn, wesley, & cordilia. and the rainbows in with them are buffy, zander, giles, willough, tara and anja. then the turquoise rainbow, lorne, is still in the 210. one of these days i will catch him and move him to...
