    New 55g Tank

    Updates: 5 thick lip gouramis, 2 golden dojo loaches, 3 pictus catfish, a banjo cat, and a Rafael cat. Growing bacopa, added a moon lighting system, running a penguin 350 for filtration system. I dismissed Cichlids not because I don't find them interesting but because I wanted a more community...

    My new 55gal freshwater

    Perimeters are mostly good, I used a little bit of cycled tank water/sand as well as a bacteria supplement. It's been running for I think a couple weeks now. I also did a water change today. Thanks for the comments guys. BTW, I have a gravel vacuum, but does anyone know of another way to clean...

    What's up with my apple snail??

    I moved I'm into another tank and he's fine now. I think that it was in fact the nitrates. I have since done a water change.

    What's up with my apple snail??

    I have a golden mystery snail, and I noticed that he was like, off balance almost. And then earlier he had like "fallen over". I think he might not have enough calcium, but I don't have any calcium test things. And I've read that they will sometimes eat part of their shell if its thin or...

    New 55g Tank

    Well I'm kind of interested in maybe a group of pictus catfish. I'm also interested in dojo loaches and clown loaches. I'm not really sure which fish are compatible with the pictus, because I've heard that they are venomous. I'm also interested in Gouramis. I don't know. If you all have an...

    New 55g Tank

    So I'm getting a free 55 gallon tank from a friend and I'm super excited about it. However, I don't really know what kind of fish I want to fill it with. I want freshwater, something other than chiclids, something with personality, maybe something not too hard too keep but at the same time not...

    You can also get a bacteria supplement. Some people don't like doing that because if you wait long enough, the bacteria will naturally form. I am not really that patient so when I'm cycling I usually use Stability by Seachem. It cycled my tank really quickly and safely. It was done in only a...

    What's up with my Corydora?

    One of my Cory's goes from being pretty chill and looking for food, to swimming really fast against the side of the tank and then right back to being chill. I've heard that it's normal, but the other Corys in my tank don't do this nearly as much. Anybody know?

    Sean's 20 gallon

    I can add more tank pictures later but I just cleaned and since its sand its all a little cloudy. They are exactly what you think, just the Tupperware containers filled with fish tank rock. I don't actually add fertilizers. When I first started it and my tank was cycling I added a Kelp based...

    Sean's 20 gallon

    My 20 gallon tank has 5 golden white cloud minnows, 3 albino corydoras, a golden mystery snail, a ghost shrimp, and my favorite, a Banjo Catfish. It's also set up with an aquaponics bio-filter that I've made myself. Lighting comes from my grow light, and I clean any detritus with a net to the...
