My 36G freshwater...

[beason]

i have a 55gal, with an angle, and about 12 other fish. i have a black, red fin shark, and had an albino one but it jumped out!

the black shark was about 7 bux, and the albino was more like 14.

Do something stupid like I did. My buddy had a bunch of baby black convict cichlids, and he gave me two. Not realizing just how aggressive they were, I put them in with my community fish in a 10g, while I prepared to get a larger tank for them. After one day, a fish that was larger than the convicts was gone. A couple days later, I was missing the other EIGHT fish that were already in the tank. About a week after, I had one convict left that was growing fast, and I moved him into a 55g, where he lived a long, happy, live food eating life.

Also never get red bellied newts. Took me months to figure out where they had dried up at.

The filter stopped... I have to go to petco today to get a new one lol.

 

[grgbulldog]

That sounds dandy. What kind you gettin? I have an aquaclear 50 on my 20 and it works wonders. Lets just say tank never gets foggy.

 

[flm_savage]

[grgbulldog]

Search mantis shrimp on youtube. Look a that insanity.

 

[h8z2luze]

New breed of "cat fish" discovered in El Paso, TX by amateur fish keeper:

Something tells me I am gonna have problems with this one...


BTW--Brandon: This is my 30 gallon aquarium. I am running two AquaClear filters on it, one 30 and one 50. I have a fairly high bio-load what with having a 12" Pleco in there. That equates to filtering 300 GPH (Max Output--106 nominal) if you trust Hagen's specs. Hope you got a big one!!!

 

[grgbulldog]

That is awsome. Better put a lock on that hood.

 

[h8z2luze]

Its a 20-50 gallon one.

I have the same problem with loaches. One day one will just vanish. Damn things--why would you want to jump outta the tank???

Which kind of loach? I've had khulies for about 3 weeks now and have seen them out of the gravel fully maybe twice, but I do see teir talespoke out sometimes.

I like clown loaches. Great to keep snails at bay. People that are not in the know consider snails to be a bad thing, but actually they are a sign of a good fish enjoyment. If you don't have snails something is wrong! So, since the snails become a problem REAL quick, I keep two clown loaches around at all times. They don't burrow in the gravel like khulies and are quite active swimmers. And, they love playing with my red tail...

 

[h8z2luze]

I have 2 khulis they are cool. When they come out lol. Your right about the snails. I have a crap load in my tank but they arent hurting anything lol.

 

[grgbulldog]

I never introduced snails into my tank, and i made sure all my plants were snailless. I did not want a snail infestation. I most likely would have gotten a clown loach if they didnt get like 8 inches long. They're cool though. I really want to go saltwater now.

 

[RC Addict]

I want to go back to salt too, but I am not home enough to do the maintenance.

 

[h8z2luze]

They are a ton of maintenance and money. It sucks lol.

 

[RC Addict]

I figure $5,000 to set up what I want. Of course the most expensive parts are the live rock and live sand, followed by inverts and corals, tank and equipment, and finally the fish. Well, I have a 55 so that cuts that expense...

 

[h8z2luze]

ya when I did salt I got my 55G for free and I still spent about 2 grand on setup and didnt get very much LR lol
