I just bought a pair of Black Mollies for my 55 gallon community tank. The other fish in the tank are Angels, Tetras (Serpa, Columbian, Emporer) swords and catfish. I was always under the impression that Mollies are midwater and bottom of the tank fish. For some reason these mollies stay right...

On all of my tanks I have Pool Filter Sand as a substrate. I'm happy with the PFS since it's easy to clean, looks good, inexpensive ($10 for 50 lbs), and the fish seem to like it. BUT................ I'm thinking about getting a 30 gallon long (30L x 12W x 16H) and using it mostly for tetras...

I'm plannin g on setting up another 55 gallon (4 foot long) community tank. The substrate will be sand and it will have plants (fake) and rocks. Besides the catfish(cories and bristlenose) I plan on having some angels,a small school of serpae and 3 smaller clown loaches. I want some livebearers...

It looks like the test kits are still within the dates. The Syno (Eupterusa) has been in there for about 3 years, since I had Africans in there before it was a community tank. There are 10 or 12 Serpae in the tank, but olnly one was dead. No, my Scot friends are not "fish people"

Yes, they are extremely playful and that's why I hope it's not them, since I really don't want to get rid of them. The readings on an API test kit were 0 ppm (on both test). I have a very dear friend that lives near you in Glenrothers Fife

I wasn't sure if this should be ion this forum or the EMERGENCY forum In the last few days I've found a few of my fish in the 55 gallon tank d.ead. They were 3 Angels (body size about a 1/2 $ size or slightly larger) and a Serpae Tetra. The only fish that I have noticed having aggressive...

I have a 55 gallon tank(4 feet long) with Angels, Serpae, swordtails (for live food), loaches(Yoyo &Clown) and a school of small albino corys. The tank has a sand substrate with rocks and some (fake) plants. I'm thinking of add 2 Kribs to the tank. Would they "fit in" with the other fish?

I have Whisper hob filters in all of my tanks. Up until recently I was able to buy the LARGE size bio bags (unassembled) at a national retailer for $9 for 12 bags. The local stores would honor the on line price that this national retailer showed on line. All of a sudden, BOOM, the price on...

OK, I've been strongly advised by members of this forum, among others, that I can not put 2 blue rams in my 20 gallon high that already has 2 good sized gold rams and a large Angel and a pleco in it. I wouldn't even think of putting the 2 blue rams in my African tank. That leaves my other 55...

I'm having a problem in one of my 55 gallon tanks. The original inhabitants of the tank were 6 Angel fish (approx 1/2$ size, not including fins), 3 clown loaches, 2 yo yo loaches,1 small cory, 1 syno,1 pleco, and 2 Labeo crythrurus( black shark with ALL fins being red Since I wanted 'live food'...

One of my tanks is a 20 gallon high (23" wide,12" deep, and 16" high), planted with small, low FAKE plants. In the tank is a mature angel, 2 Gold Rams, 1 smaller albino bushynose catfish. I wanted to add 2 Blue Rams, but have been advised against that. Since the tank looks empty (but peacefull)...

Thanks for the replies............... Curiosity101.....The water stats are good. The tank has been set up for 3 years. I had it as an African and about 2-[3 monthsd ago changed it over to a South American (Angel) tank arobinson1984..........The black sharks are the ones with ALL of the fins in...

One of my tanks, a 55 gallon has 2 medium size3d Angels, 6 smaller sizede angels, 2 clown loaches,2 syno catfish and 2 smaller sized black sharks with red fins, NOT the aggressive ones. I wanted to add some live bearers in order to supply the angels with live food and decided on brick red...

I have a 20 gallon high tank that I'm using for Angels and rams. I currently have one mature size (large) Angel and two Gold rams in thev tank. I want to put two "blue" rams in the tank with the above fish. The oinly other fish in there is a 3 inch bushy nose albino catfish. Would adding the 2...

Faythee, the measurements are 24 inches accross by 14 1/2 inches high by 12 inches front top back. I was thinking of using Rams or apistos which would add some color to the tank which has a sand substrate and possibly add some fake plants. It's a shame to "give it up" as a trade, since I...
