I'm not new but I can't seem to find anyother place to place this, Sorry. On tropical chit chat and other places I can't start a new topic, I'm not sure what the cause is if anyone could help I'd apprieciate the help. Also I'sm sorry if this was in the wrong area.

I have a 29 gallon that's been cleaned out with vinegar Saturday with the light and hood, the only things needed are a good H.O.B. filter and heater for the tank. I was told that aqua clear or bio-wheel were the 2 better ones, any suggestions.

When I got the tank it still had the big sticker on it saying it was bought as a 10 gallon fish aquarium, kind of like WAL-MART sells.

If I clean with bleach more than a 19:1 ratio and I let tank set for a few weeks will that be long enough to allow all the bleach to disperse out into the air? I just moved here in Pennsylvania and will probably set the tank up either this month or next, but I wanted to make sure to clean it...

That's a great idea, after soaking and rinsing the tank in clorox I'll set on top of the old stove on our back porch and let it set for 3-4 days like to mentioned, Thanks. I'd let it soak with bleach for many days but I have a 7 yr. old and 4 yr. old girl that like to put things in their mouth...

Dwarf platy's get about 1/2 inch long, I had 2 females and 2 panda cory's in one of my 5 gallons for months and they all got along very well.

I've made quit a few checks all over the tank and all the sealant seems to be in great order, who ever it was that had it took good care of it. I'm figuring that the bleach will kill anything that might cause any damage at all to the fish.

I just picked up a 10 gallon at a yard sale for $1.50 today and the lady told me it had had hamters in it in the past. I took it home and cleaned it out really good with vinegar and rinsed out numerous times, I plan on filling it up with bleach water today and letting it set for an hour or so...

I've seen where someone has used part of a plastic soda bottle and cut it to slow down the flow of filter currents anyone have any info on what topic or where it is here. Thanks.

I'm not sure what algae they eat, but the front of my tank has plenty of it on it, I think its greenish--I could check later. plus the tank is kind of bear with only one fish in there. The pygmy platy had young the other night and I'm thinking she had a decent lunch the last few days, sorry no...

My pygmy/dwaarf platy I guess had some or one baby tonight, found it swimming in the 5 gallon with the mom. There are or seems to be plenty of silk plants for it to hide in, just wondering is they are agressive at eating their live babies as are other live bearers? My 7 yr. old daughter saw it...

I have a 5 gallon tank cycled with a female platy, it's been cycling for about 7 weeks but I've heard that it's best to put them in a tank that's been going for 3-4 months. What are the chances that if I got one for my tank that it would have a chance to survive.

this is kind of off the subject just a little but I was wondering what a dwarf sunfish is and what they look like, I've seen alot of this kind of fish mentioned on forums but I don't know what dwarf ones are. I've caught the large ones out of lakes and ponds and I love to eat them but I'm...

I have a few favorite fish, my overall favorite fish is probably the clown loach-I'm amazed at how they act together and they are just a georgious fish. I think my 2nd favorite all time fish would have to be large sailfin mollies--nothing like seeing a handsome large male strut his stuff and...

I know I just replied, but if you are able to come across a walmart I noticed today that they have hex. 5 gallon setup for around 28.00 dollars with a bio-wheel filter. I was going to buy a couple 2.5 mini-bowls myself but for the extra few bucks I can get double the space for my betta, so for...
