Im actually planning on picking up 4 of them on Saturday from a guy in Bellevue. I am starting to have second thought since I will be moving in about a month, so if you are interested, let me know and I can put you in touch with him.

great advice. thank you very much!

I thought about puffers, yes. I need to do more research in them though. A while back I had a small tank at work with 3 dwarfs in it, and they seemed to do well until I went out of town and my co-worker decided to put a ton of worms in for the weekend. the bacteria (i think) surge did them in...

Alright, I have been out of fish keeping for a while now, and I have decided to get a new tank (I gave away my last one when I moved). The catch is that I dont have a clue what to house in it. I want to keep it FW, and fairly easy to maintain (not realistic, but hey, its a dream). I also want to...

I've heard that angelfish are 'delicate'. is that true? btw, thanks for the red bellied idea, but my wife said that I could not get pirahnas... I wanted to get a couple, but she doesnt lke the idea of them... just like she wont let me get a pitbull becuase of the 'stereotype'. :*)

ok, thanks. Will a gravel cleaner get it out of the gravel? or is there a special way to do that?

will it just die off doing those few things?

my tank is probably... 8-10 months... and i bought the filter when i set it up... so its the same age. after i scrub it off, how can i keep it from regrowing? i do not have plants, no. :dunno: should I get some?

I had a Bio-wheel and it just gave up on me and died, so i had a build up of a brownish colored algae over the past few days... i did a 30% water changes yesterday and bought a new filter/heater/all in one unit and started running it yesterday afternoon... the water is still 'brownish' and i...

Ah, I see. Thank you! :D

I understand that this is a small tank, and I have a 10 gallon at home and I wish I had bigger (will get a big one after I move :) ) This is a tank on my desk at work, so a 10g is not realistic. btw: I have been wondering this for a while... what is a quid? relative to the US dollar I mean...

What about just a Male and Female guppy? If they have babies, I can take them home to protect them...
