Pet Forum / Aquaria / Freshwater / November 2003

A few day's ago I posted about sick Mollies and Guppy's.  Thank you
for your generous replies and suggestions.  Since then, I took a water
sample to Pet Smart and found that the Nitrate level was 200 where the
max should be no more than 20.  Changed out half the water and added

We went to the reptile and amphibian show in Atlanta this weekend, and we
found more than we expected.... We came back with lots of supplies, for my
wife's lizards and frogs, but we also came back with Molly... A russian
tortoise.  She's darling, and quite explorative... She'll ...

Hi, I was wondering how many fish i could fit in my 29 gallon high
tank. I am not a novice but am not an expert. Thanks for any replies.

I have set up a 45gl tank for about 2 months now, and cycled the tank with a
few cherry barbs, I then started adding a few of the following, mollies,
platys, guppies, neon tetras, pl*co, and a betta with couple of female
bettas.

Yesterday I bought one of those filters without a heater for £160 WITHOUT a
heater. am I being ripped off? and can I buy a heater separate for those
filters?
Cheers, Mat

Hey, i have a 29 gallon aquarium that will have tetras, gouramis, a
pleco, a redtailed black shark, and possibly a corydora. What
non-fish(like a frog or a turtle) could i get that would not have my
fish for lunch and also not need to leave the water?

I recently purchased four African Dwarf Frogs.  I put two of the
little guys in my one gallon filtered tank with my Betta.  One of the
frogs almost immediately floated to the top (well, after an hour) and
he has been there ever since.  I purchased (per various pet store

My 60 gal. indoor aquarium has always been clear and the water has
checked good.  4 day's ago one of my male Black Molly's started
swimming with his head up and fins moving very fast.  Just noticed
that a male guppy has exactly the same symptoms.  All the fish have

I can't seem to find any fish store that carries (or even heard of)
"Crossocheilus siamensis" in Southern California (Orange County) area.
Does anyone here know where I can locate one?
Thanks,

I know this topic has been discussed before, but I'm very new at this and
would like to know what I can do and not do with my aquarium. After all,
advice that's good for one particular tank may not be as good for another.
I recently got one of those Nutrafin Natural Plant System CO2 ...

I've been contemplating adding a UV sterilizer to my 75 G. freshwater tank.
The prices aren't that expensive if it would be a positive addition.
I'm primarily considering it for 2 reasons:  overall improvement of fish
health and assistance in the fight against algae.

My tank is still cycling and all I have left include:
2 Guppies (male & female)
1 baby guppy
1 Pleco

I have had a H.O.T. Magnum Filter in operation on my 30-gallon tropical fish
aquarium for over two years.  Recently the Bio-wheel stopped turning.  I
cleaned the filter, etc., but it still won't turn.  Does anyone have any
suggestions as to what should be done?  Replace the ...

Hey, hello all. Can guppies mix with non-livebearers?
Thanks

atmospheric air  (air we breathe)? It has to do with an air-space at the top of
my D.I.Y. CO2 setup. I dont know if I should vent it or ignore it T.I.A. to any
