Well, I spent a couple of years in Beaver Dam, but I live in Butler PA now.

If Kuhlis are "corkscrewing", they are very stressed and usually don't survive. If you see even one doing this that is in a tank with a bunch more at your LFS, DON'T BUY THEM! I learned this the hard way. I bought 12, and noticed that one was "corkscrewing" while the lady was removing them from...

Kuhli Loaches!

I have a pair of Golden Dojo Loaches that must have spawned, because I have what appears to be three very small Dojos in my UGF. Any suggestions on how to remove them? I was thinking about hooking up my python to the UGF tube and sucking them out. On a positive note, the area under the UGF is...

I have 3 of these-AKA Burmese Border Loaches or Polkadot Loaches-in my 55 gal aquarium with 4 Yoyo loaches, 10 Corys (6 Pandas, 2 Skunks and 2 Bronze) and many Kuhlis. They all go great together. I paid $15.99 each for mine at my favorite LFS, but they make up for their high prices for me with...

Does your old filter have a sponge or foam pad? If so just put that in the same tray as your Bio-Max. Don't rinse it. I just set up my 305 last weekend with Fluval pre-filter media on the bottom tray with filter floss over that. On the middle tray I put 2 units of Chemi-Pure covered with filter...

Good luck. I had to do a similar thing when I was a teenager, and it took me over 10 years to get back in the hobby. When you do get back into fishkeeping, you'll enjoy it even more than you do now :good:

I just set up a Fluval 305 on my 55 gal tank this past weekend. I had no such problems. I thoroughly washed each basket after filling. I filled the bottom basket completely full with Fluval pre filter and put filter floss over that. On the second basket I put 2 units of Chemi-Pure with filter...

:whistle:

Alot of people make the mistake of buying clown loaches. These fish get huge! I won't even put them in my 55 gal tank. Although pretty, there are much better alternatives, such as Yoyo, Zebra, and Burmese Border Loaches. These would be much more suitable as they usually max out at about 4...

That I don't know. The only places I can find it in the US is in major pet stores. I can't seem to get a link to work. Check out aquariumfish.com

I have a common problem with Serpae Tetras developing what I call "mouth rot". Their lips seem to rot away, giving them a big whole for their mouths, and they soon die after that. Anyone else have or seen this before? I would like to know so I can get this problem under control. Could it be a...

Happy Easter everyone! I hope the Easter Bunny delivers a Fluval 305 and a bunch of Kuhlis :whistle: Oh wait-it's Easter, not Christmas :hyper:

Any suggestions on how to get my powerhead to emit a steady stream of air? Lately, it just spurts out random bursts of air and it is very loud and annoying. I extended my UGF tube to get the powerhead closer to the surface. This worked well for a while, but not lately.

We're just finishing up from a brutally cold winter here in the eastern states, and old man winter isn't quite done with us yet. When I add water to my aquariums, I just use tap water (city water) at 80F. I keep a thermometer in a kitchen drawer next to the sink. I have it down to a science now...
