Currently my 90 gallon is set-up as my Cichlid tank 5 different soon to be large ciclids. I will be moving the Ciclids to a 210 gallon tank and will have the 90 open for my leisure. I was thinking of getting some tropical fish as I would be able to have more then 5 fish in this tank. A Red...

Hi I recently started up a 90 gallon tank roughly 4 weeks ago. It has a 405 Fluval canister filter. When I go to remove the filter pads and clean them in water from the tank how do I do this? Do I just turn it off and open the top of the canister or will the water come out? Is there a way to...

So what else would you recommend? Im new to this so all the help is mucho appreciated. Thanks in advance

Hey there Boids-n-more. Im from Chandler AZ and was wondering where you found the 210 gallon. What Fish stores do you go to? The only one I found near here is Tropical Treasures. They had a max size of 90 gallons. Thanks in advance for your reply.

The filter I have is a Fluval 405 it pumps 340 GPH and seems to be good although Im kinda a newbie so it could actually be a terrible filter and I just dont know it. The tank though seems huge 18" deep fairly tall. With this type of filter would another Oscar or even a Jack Dempsey be ok?

Shameless bump.

Hi all, I have a 90 gallon tank that is currently housing community tropical fish. (Molly's, platys and 4 tetras.) I was thinking of moving these fish to a 29 gallon tank that I have in order to get an an Oscar. I was wondering with a 90 gallon tank what tankmates can I have with the Oscar that...

I was thinking of putting my black skirt tetras (4 of them) In with my Mollys and platys. Would they be good tank mates?

Hi all, Recently I moved 3 Mickey Mouse platys over to a 10 gallon tank and since doing this their eyes turned completely black. I dont remember them being black before but does anyone happen to know what this is??

Im new here and had a question concerning feeding fish. I was told at a pet store that you should feed fish once per 2 days. I have been feeding them 2X per day and think this may be causing a high amonia level. Please let me know and thanks in advance.

About 2 weeks ago I bought a 29 gallon US tank. I have since added in 3 mollys, 4 wagtail plattys, 3 Mickey mouse plattys and 1 Cory catfish. I have been feeding these fish twice a day (Is this too much?) My Ammonia levels have been super high the last few days up around 8 ppm. I have done a...

Im using a Mardel water testing kit for both all testing purposes. The Ammonia test strips have 3 different colored pads and on back of container shows color for amonia levels. Which pad am I supposed to be looking at when reading the levels? Also the other kit is a 5 in 1 test kit and the pads...

It is a bio wheel. Ya didnt realize that the bacteria stayed on the wheel itself. Was thinking that tank counted on bacteria on the filter itself.

Hi there, I am a very inexperienced person when it comes to fish. This past week I went out and got a 28 gallon aquarium and added fish. I didnt know about the fishless cycle thing until I read the post here. Currently I have 3 black mollies, 4 blackail orange platys, 3 mickey mouse platys and...
