I would say its just one of their wierd little things they do. I have quite a few of them in a large school and they are always doing something new and different. I wouldnt be worried about it.

Well its begun... Being the impulse buyer i tend to be, and a very enabling, and encouraging girlfriend, When i visited a new shop i walked out with a small bichir, jack dempsey, and red terror. So far everyone is getting long, and not even bothering wither the tiger barbs or anyone in the tank.

Hey everyone. ive been fishkeeping for a long time now and im planning the stocking for my 110 gallon tank way ahead of time. The tank is 5 feet long, 2 feet tall and 18 inches wide. Im looking for suggestions for new world/american cichlids. I have a list that i would like to see in the tank (...

Whats in those instructions is exactly what i did with my 4 coconuts. It works great. just be sure to boil the coconuts long enough.

So i spent some extra time at the cafe jotting down some stocking ideas that might work a little better based on the advice i was given and id like to find out if you guys think its acceptable. Im asking because ive never kept angels, or tetras before and i would really like this setup to run as...

Wow i had no idea that they would get that bad! That is one angry fish! Has anyone ever tried keeping rams with angels and tetras?

Are the redtails really that bad? I have one right now in my tank with tiger barbs, corys, and siamese algea eaters. I see him chase some of the barbs around once in a while but thats all really.

Hey guys, Im looking into downsizing my tank but i want to have a good plan for if i do. Im looking at downsizing to something like a 50-60 gallon tank. Would you guys expect this stocking to be ok. 1 Redtail shark 1 Ropefish 1 African Butterfly 1 Bristlenose Pleco 1 Small syno cat ( Dont...

Hey everyone! So my girlfriend has had an aquarium set up for almost a year now and she is starting to have problems with it. it is a 20 gallon tank, and i have her setup with enough filtration for a 70 gallon tank. Her temperature is perfect, and the tank has been fully cycled for a long time...

Of course! Right when i think of posting mine!

If you do not trust any stands you can purchase, which lets be honest, are not built as strong as they should be, try building your own. You can customize the stand to look the way you want it to, and have a stand stronger than anything you could purchase. The internet is your friend in this...

That is the issue im running into trying to figure this out. I was hoping to go for money saving and thats why i wanted to do electricity free. But then i would need more plants for filtration, wich would require more lighting.

So if i where to run this tank with some good lighting, and a small air pump, would you have any suggestions for stocking the tank, and for plants that would do better aiding in the filtration?
