Iv had a few people tell me you can't keep more than 1 eel together, I'm planning g on getting a zig zag and a peacock for my 75 so will I run into problems? I have 2 large pieces of driftwood for plenty of hiding places and a sandy substrate.

I have a 75 setup and I plan on getting 1 senegal bichir 1 peacock eel and 1 zig zag eel, I was gonna get a small school of clown loaches and just trade then out when they got big but my LFS had 2 roughly 6 inch channel cats. I do a lot of fishing and channels are what I love catching so could I...

Today I noticed that my biggest platy has almost all of his tail missing and I'm not sure what could have done it, I have around a 2 inch opaline female gourami and 2 small rose lines that have been in there for almost a week and a small around 1 inch striped raphael catfish that I put in 2 days...

Every now and then us fish keepers luck up on "to good to be true" deals. What's some great deal that you guys have lucked up on?

Any suggestions for stocking a 90 gallon freshwater ? I'm open for ideas. Also, feel free to post some pictures of your aquascape job/decor setup.

Has anyone ever used HTH Pool Filter Sand? How'd it work? Any problems?

I'm planning on filling my 55 gallon tank up tomorrow after a quick trip to LFS, I already have prime to make my tap water safe, but I'll be picking up a master test kit, api quick start, stress coat, and ammo lock. I plan on using quick start to start my cycle until I get a few baby tetras from...

Does adding bacteria to your non cycled aquarium cycle it? Or is its sole purpose to add it when you add fish to give the existing bacteria a chance to catch up? Is it a bad idea to add it to speed up cycling?

I just ordered the tetra whisper 100 for my 55 gallon, my plan is to use it on a 60 gal sponge filter and a 4 inch air disk. The easiest place for me to put the pump is on the floor on my stand so I'll have roughly 6 ft of tubing going up the back and down into the tank for each piece. Is this...

I have a 55 gallon tank in the works and can't decide of which type of catfish I want. The hoplo really stood out to me because it's a more active catfish but it gets a decent size of 8 inches or so. The porthole also caught my attention because they stay smaller but how active are they...

Ok, been a while since I have been on here or even posted. I got out of the hobby but now I am jumping back in head first.. So I am about to purchase a 375 gallon tank and going to set it up freshwater. Took a while to find the right tank because of the way my house is set up I didn't exactly...

I am getting ready to set up a new aquarium and wanted people opinions on what exotic fish i can legally have in Cali. I currently have an 80 gallon with fahaka puffer, african chiclids, and a balla shark. I was hoping to get something along the lines of Piranhas but was disappointed to find out...

Hi guys, i am looking for a predatory eel that lives in freshwater unlike the freshwater moray eel. Any species you guys know? Help will be appreciated! :D Thanks!

Hello all, My father and I are building a pond, which is 10 ft in length, 3 ft deep, 4 ft wide. We are currently in the planning stage but we have the area it will be in. We plan for 1 foot of the pond to be in ground and 2 feet of it above ground. We are trying to keep it as cheap as possible...

Ok my buddy is getting rid of a lot of fish equipment and he is willing to cut me a deal on his ro unit and 3 channel doser as well. As i am just getting into the larger tanks and attempting to step out of the complete amateur department, would these be worth it to have for my Freshwater tank...

Hey guys I am actually resealing a 265 right now in order to setup for my future dovii's. I did have a few questions on if my filtration is going to be able to support this big tank though. This is my first big tank so I would love a few pointers. Filters are: 2x Sun sun 304b 525gph with 9v...

Has anyone considered increasing your filter surface area by installing media of some kind in your overflow? I just setup my new aquarium and feel that the space is wasted. I measured out about 4 gallons in each overflow box. Seems like I could put a couple of gallons of 10ppm sponge in there...

Hi all. I was wondering what everyone thinks about an algae background? I'm sick of looking at this blue painted background (already applied upon purchase) and so I thought instead of cleaning the Algae on the back glass I will just let it grow out and look natural. Anyone think it would look...
