Yay!!! My two new super red calico bristlenoses are in!!!! They seem nice and feisty. I have a couple of pictures of one of them. So I thought I would share!! Enjoy!! Ps- they are about an inch long. This one wanted to be on the suction cup of my marineland heater. Lol.

Hello there! Please allow me to list my tank info before reading the rest so if you reply you know the up and up     36 Gallon freshwater tank.   Established bacteria colony/tank   Water parameters are all normal. I use test strips so I don't have EXACT numbers to share. I test every 3-5 days to...

A quick question ! I've noticed lots of people use terracotta pots for caves for plecos to get into My question is ? Could I use mugs if I buried them in the sand to disguise them ??

I recently moved across the country and I just set up a very nice forty gallon aquarium. I'm still waiting for the new tank to cycle and establish itself before SLOWLY adding fish one at a time to it.   Now here is the story. Before moving I donated my fish to a high end and family owned...

I bought this pleco but would like to know which type of Pleco it is. He/she's about 4-5 inches long. Thanks.

Ok, I don't think this is an emergency as of yet so I decided to post it here. Hopefully you can follow my story on Spots, my female bristlenose pleco. I believe she's about 2 years old now I think....almost 4 inches in length. She lives in a 20 gallon high tank with 3 glowlight tetras and 7...

I have recently purchased a Flowerhorn on line. It is about 2 inches long. I don't know what age he is, but I'm guessing about 2 months. I would like to know if I can put him in a tank with a 9 inch Pleco, which is about 8 months old.

Please help me. I have an emergency, I had a pleco and a guppy because I am cycling my 20G long tank. Long story short they both have ICH, I put them in a 5 gallon quarantine and the pleco died and the guppy I think will die. I'm not too worried about the fish, they are both doing REALLY bad. I...

Hey all. I have had a planted tank (20 gallon long) right now for about a month, it's a planted tank with a 150w fluval heater, quiet pro 20g filter, 1 CO2 diffuser and a co2 atomizer. I got a pleco about a couple weeks ago and for the first couple weeks he has been skiddish, always running from...

HI, :)   This is just an update on my tank to those who have replied to my recent topics.   I rehomed my Reedfish, I know he's happier with a bigger tank and 3 other Reeds to keep him company.   My keyhole has started showing signs of improvement. I treated her in the medical tank with a broad...

Hi all, yesterday I noticed typical ich symptoms (salt spots and cloudy eyes) and started treatment by raising the temp to 88 gradually (2 degrees per day) and adding ich guard. I have Proform-C which is a malachite green and formulin treatment. I'm not using hyposalinity because of using...

Hello all,   I've been lurking for a little while but have joined today to ask for help. My bristlenose pleco is about 6 years old and has developed a red cyst on his side (see photo). I've just noticed it as he tends to hide a lot, but I don't think it could have been there longer than 3 weeks...

Well with my new found love for aquariums i thought it best to share my little pals in a short clip on my planted tropical aquarium. Hope you like it :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ExS-nDH2BL4&feature=youtu.be

Hello Everyone!   Today I was wondering, would my 2 year old betta be ok in my tank? It is a 20gal with two female (red)swordtails, and a single common pleco. They are all peaceful enough in their tank and the conditions are stable, so would they be ok all together? I know that different bettas...

Should I boil it first? Freeze it first then thaw? Cut it in thin slices? How long should it be placed in the tank? *Zucchini Clueless* Seeking help from all Zucchini diet experts! hahaha Tks in advance!

I have a pretty large pleco. He is my favorite fish and he was sold to me as a royal pleco, but he looks a lot like a watermelon pleco. So i want to know if he is a spotted royal or a watermelon pleco. Either way I love him and he loves to eat wood off of my driftwood. I also offer algae wafers...

This is my very first tank. I bought it almost a year ago as an already established tank.  It is a 55gal. When I originally got it, it was WAY over loaded. Three cichlids, two oscars, and two plecos. Guy was just gonna dump the fish and sell the equipment if I hadn't of got it from him. I was...

Hi all,   The OH and I are 99% decided on a Juwel Trigon 190 for our living room, but that's about the only thing we've agreed on!    We've been talking about stocking options as we want to decide on this before we buy the aquarium.  Unfortunately we both want different things from the tank, so...
