Wow, thanks for the detailed reply.   I'll give your suggestion a try probably in  a few weeks, after letting the filter re-establish itself.  I'm using a hang off the back with a bio-wheel, which really seems to work well.   Yes I was thinking of a dwarf gourami, sorry for not specifying.  I...

Hi,   As the title says I am looking for advice on transitioning my tank.   Currently I have a 25G tank with 1 platy and lots of java fern.  This tank has been setup and going for the past 6 years and originally had about 5 platys and 5 neon tetras.  Nothing too crazy but it looked nice...

The only other fish I have are 5 platties in a 10 gallon. I'm hoping to setup a larger tank soon, but I've been in the middle of moving/new job so I haven't had time to get things really going in the fish-keeping area. I'll see how things go. He seems to be eating flake food but what he...

Thanks, I think he just needs some time to get used to the new env. I might pick up some frozen stuff, however they come in such huge packs and I only have one betta. I guess I might as well think about getting a few more :).

Hi, All Sorry if this has been answered before but the search function is not working for me. I just got a new betta, on Monday afternoon. He is healthy, and alert. I don't see any visible problems. I have him in a 5 gallon tank, with no other fish. There is one fake plant and some...

My concern is less on how to deal with the equipment. I'm more worried how to deal with the fish.

Hi, I currently have a 10 gallon tank filled with 5 red-wag platties, and I have a few java ferns. The tank has been setup for over 3 years now and is very stable, I have not had any problems with it for about 2 years now. So now onto the problem I'm facing. I'm going to be starting a new...

Initially the cat didn't realize that there was anything in the fish tank. It took it about a week to realize that there were fish in there. Once that happened she started to paw at the fish whenever they would come to the front of the tank. Recently, she has figured out that her efforts are...

I'm sorry but being in Canada I have no access to Aqua One products, hence I do not have the instructions for you. I'm curious if you have tried contacting Aqua One and asking them if they would mail or potentially email you a copy of the instructions for the test kit. Another option would be...

Wow, that's a good deal, if it comes with a hood. I once got a free 15gal from a friend but it didn't come with a hood. I looked around and the cheapest I could find was around 50 CAD. There is always the option of making your own hood as well. For those wondering 1 CAD = 0.85 USD.

IMHO, if you have a friend that knows what he/she is doing or if you show your friend how to feed the fish that is the best option. If you don't, then the feeder is the next option but, I would test the feeder for at least a week before I trust it to feed my fish. I have heard stories both...

Greetings to all... I was just web-surfing and found a link to a hanging fish tank and I thought that I would share. Haning Fish Tank I just realy like this idea, though it is a bit expensive. What do you think?

To the best of my knowledge the Apple Snail will eat just about any kind of veggie. Mine takes lettuce, green beans, zucchini, cucumbers and algea pellets. If you want more info this site is really good http://www.applesnail.net/

Sorry, I cannot be of any help since I have no clue with respect to lighting but I thought I would mention that you should try posting in the hardware section of the froum they may be able to respond to your question. hardware forum

hmm... from what I have read you are looking to put a betta with some guppies, bettas don't get along very well with guppies. The cories should be okay, though it's always a question mark whith bettas. This is because some bettas are more agressive than others. For just starting out the...
