This may be a silly question since it is about a fish tank, but is there anything I can do to my tank to keep it from smelling like a fish tank? It seems like...
How large can a black angel fish get? I have an absolutely divine black angel that just keeps getting larger and larger every day. It is in with 2 golden...
I have a problem. My sucker fish have started eating my fishes food. And won't eat the algea any more. What should I do. I don't know what kind it is. It's...
I am thinking about getting 30 feeder goldfish to get them large enough where they would survive in my pond and waterfall. I would be putting them in a 55...
Could be what some stores refer to as a "common pleco". They get to be about 18" or so and they do get lazy about "cleaning" as they get older. Mine is 6...
I have a 20gal fedder tank and my feeders are constantly getting sucked into then stuck to the filter tube that hangs into the tank. What can I do about that?...
Do more frequent 25% PWC's (partial water changes). Vacuum your gravel better and do more frequent filter maintenance. My blog has a long article on filter...
Most do need and eat regular foods. It could be a "Common Pleco". They are omnivores and need more than just algae to live. If you do not feed them ...
How big is your pond? Do you already have bigger fish in it? Some "feeder goldfish" live for well over 25 years. Many others die early deaths or are eaten. ...
I hope you have a BIG tank as angel fish get quite large in proper sized tanks. The betta and angels are not always suitable tank mates as bettas don't like...
Do you have a filter screen on the end of the tube? Healthy fish should never get stuck to the filter screen that is used to disburse the suction from the...
I don't know the sexes, but all 3 seem to get along fine. I have not had any "attitude" problems for the 2.5 months they have been together. The black one is...
I do have a filter screen, however I think the problem might be that I'm using the filter that came with my 55 gallon tank for my 20 gallon. I didn't need it...

Read that profile link in my previous reply. A 10G tank is no where near large enough for angelfish. Even the 30G would be cramped in a short time but it...
Using a 55G filter would probably be fine on a 20G feeder tank. Filter companies are notorious for overrating their filters to try and sell them at a higher...
Can you take some pictures and post them to the groups photo album. It would be easier to tell if we could see the damage. Some can be fixed and others...
Hi Lenny, It's only a ten gallon and luckily was setting up a 20 gallon at the time and tranferred the water and filter so the fish are fine. Sorry, I can't...
Though it has been a long time since I have seen domestic get large as they should, but the angel fish may grow to 8" long, sans tail, and 10-12" high, from...
OK. Sounds like a pretty big crack. It will eventually spread even longer and fail completely. I think you would have to replace that glass pane. Not an...
When you buy feeders, you take your chances. Some may not even survive the trip home. Others will die hours, days, weeks later. The 55 may serve well as a...
Thanks Lenny, I did post a couple of weeks ago to our Freecycle for an aquarium but received no response. That was right after you kind folks explained to me...
Thanks, Steve. So, since they are in a 10 gal. tank and the only other I have is 30 gal. should I give them to someone with a larger tank, or will the size of...

I know that I only use tubing that is rated for drinking water use (potable water). If someone is using less than that, then there could be issues. I know a...
