Sorry it took me so long to stick my .02 in. The wife is in the hospital, and I've been a bit busy. Get away from the big chain stores...they seldom know or...
The lace seems to be a Synodontis eupterus or Sailfin syno. The dorsal and tail are the tipoff. The first few spines are elongated and are a sight to behold...
Synodontis have evolved in a cichlid dominated habitat. Most of them get quite large, as they come from hige habitats, and as a defensive mechanism. They do...

HI , I bought an albino cory 2 months ago. he seems to be a loner and doesnt mingle with the other 3 cory's I have,but he's doing great and has a funny...
I have 3 corys from petsmart, they are peppered, spotted and green. those 3 hide together in the corner, I rarely see them. I just got an albino, and he is the...
Re: the algae on the glass.......this is caused by nutrient rich water, and a good light source. Cut one or the other and the algae vanishes. Cut down on...
ots strange, because I had another tank in the same spot, for 2 yrs and never had this algae. I upgraded from a 29 gallon to a 55 ghallon, and after 2 months I...
I would keep an eye on your angels in the tank with the other fish. They can get aggressive and pick at the fins of the other fish. I lost a 15" Snow King...
you know, I had a medium sz pleco a few months ago, and he dided mysteriously. I only had 2 adult and 2 baby angels then. never seen them bother any fish, but...
I have no salt in the aquarium. or at least nothing added. I had a pleco years ago with no problems at all. so dont know what happened to the one several...
We never saw the angels pick on the others either but they were the only ones in the tank that can get a mean streak if they felt like it. :( We did get rid of...
yeah, they are probably doing things when I dont see them. the angels are the main reason I got the tank, so I wont be getting rid of them I have 6 angels, 4...
The ones I finally got rid of were from my own spawning Angels but I couldn't let them kill off more of my fish. :( Though I love seeing them in large groups...

Chinese algae eaters are not chinese and they don't eat algae. They are pretty much worthless, unless you like cigar shaped fish as big as your thumb that get...
well I am not sure I am going to like this chinese algae eater then. I have a featherfin catfish that is 6 inches and dont need any thing else big in the tank....
Hello. I'm new to the group. I have about 4 dojo loaches in my 55 gallon tank. They have been in there for about a month. I have noticed one of my loachs isn't...
They live on the bottom. So they are the first ones to notice if there is something there. I would bet on two things.........The others are picking on him a...

Hi Mrs Fazi. They like sand , but it may be tough to keep clean. Food particles etc will get caught in it and stagnate quickly, so make sure you clean it well...
Hi Shannon, The barbel erosion could very well be due to the gravel you were using. Sand is a much better option. There is a glacial sand (rounded edges)...
What water temp do corydoras prefer---on the cooler or warmer side? My water seemed very warm but the thermometer didn't register it was that warm, so I bought...
I just have corydoras in my tank (23). I'm going to a bigger tank to accommodate them all. What middle fish would be good? I want a few middle fish that...
Thats great! Congrats. 80-82F is a good temp to breed them at. They will also do fine for normal living at 72F. Some cories have been found spawning in the...
It depends on what you want to keep. Many livebearers will do fine with cories. I always liked a school of 6each  of three or 4 nice tetras. It depends on...
Thanks for your reply. After dropping the temp from 80 to 72, the next day I found loads of eggs on the glass like I've never seen before. They must like the...
Anyone else have a foam on the surface problem? Someone suggested it was too much protein in the water. I have a lot of those little snails and it seems...
