Last night my Oscars laid eggs which I've been dreading as they sharing there tank with other fish to my surprise they don't seem overly protective I've a 5x2x2 foot tank and they seem happy to just keep other fish out of the foot or so of the end of the tank where the eggs are. I think they...

I usually just wash bog wood then add but I've never add a pice this size before just smaller ones which leach tannins but not as much I must admit though I do like the look. The first Oscars that I ever saw were over 10 inch long and in tanning stand water at first I thought that they were...

Thanks and I can't wait to add it I'm thinking of just washing it and adding it to tank and let the tanning stain the water as I've got Oscars and spotted silver dollars in that tank and it would be a more natural look for there tank but not quite sure what do you think.

Your first problem is the tank is not cycled as fishmanphil said. Your second problem is the tank is not big enough to keep 3 angels in. Your third problem tiger barbs need to be in shoals of at least 6 and are notorious for nipping fins. The live bearers would be ok if you had cycled your...

I had heard that to that's why I posted to see if any one else knows whether it correct or just a myth cos there so many myths that go round, and that just a small selection of what I collected some don't have any markings I just collected them cos they nice and flat and I may in the future get...

I used a thin but strong knife and slowly went along the edge of compartment and prized it a part it is stuck with adhesive so have to be firm but just slowly work your way along and it should come lose that's how I did mine but if you don't want it falling off every time you take the lid off...

I've just got a quick question about some stones I got from the beach over the weekend, they have got patterns running through them and I was wondering if there is a way of testing to see if there safe to put into my aquarium. I was thinking that cos I got them off the beach and they well wave...
