Killifish are so beautiful, but I would be very sad if they died every year....is this true for the species you suggested?

Perfect! I think I know what I'm going to get now. 3 Honey Gourami's (2 female, 1 male) They will be my centerpiece fish. 5 Cory Cats 6 Rummy Nose Tetra's 6 Harlequin Rasbora 3 Platy's OR Angle Fish, Cory Cats, Platy's, maybe bleeding heart tetra's.... Ah the combinations are endless!

OK, I've already asked this question about Angle Fish, so now I have run into conflicting info about Killifish, Rasbora's, Barbs, and Dwarf Gourami's. I am getting a 60 gallon bowfront aquarium in January, so I am doing all my research ahead of time so that I get it right....hopefully...

Hey Everyone, My husband has agreed that I can have the aquarium of my dreams for my birthday! Yeah! It will be a 60 gallon bowfront aquarium that comes with it's own stand and hood. I'm going to get an undergravel filter along with a biowheel. I'll use a black substrate, with natural wood...

Anglefish in one and a figure 8 puffer in the other!

Thanks for the info!

Great information....thanks!

Copied this from one of Sir Minions posts. The question was what is a good habitat and tank mates for a dp. Dwarf puffer: Well filtered fresh water Sand lots of plants Depending on tank size, other dwarf puffers, bristlenose plecs, perhaps otos One per 5 gallons Small invertibrates

Does anyone have any information on how to properly disinfect a tank after a fish has died of internal parasites? I recently bought two puffers from an LFS and they never ate and eventually died. The concensus among people on the forum as well as my local lfs is that they had parasites. I...

Nope, difinately would not get angle fish in a 15 gall. They require at least a 30 gallon tank since they get to be about 6 inches when they grow up and they need plenty of space to swim. They are also semi-aggressive fish so they might eat somebody else while you're not looking. (or while you...

Hey does anyone know how long Betta's live? My best friend and her mother in law both had betta's that died when they were about 4, but they kept them in tall narrow vases with plants. They would do a 100% water change every two weeks. I keep mine in a 5 gallon tank with a filter, heater...

Could it be poeye? If so, you treat with an antibiotic. Can usually find at pet stores. www.angelfire.com/ma3/fishforumdisease

They don't have them at my local petco or petsmart, but a couple of my local aquarium stores/pet shops have them. Some places call them sea monkeys. Hope this helps.

Does anyone have any experience buying fish online? I am thinking of getting a 20 gallon community tank, but my local lfs have very limited species of fish and I was wanting some that I had seen on a website. Rumynose tetras....very cute...

Hi Everyone, I just wanted to thank everyone for their advice and kind wishes for my little puffer babies. The last one finally passed away this weekend. :rip: I think that they must have been sick when I brought them home from the LFS because I never saw them eat.....EVER. I tried every...
