I have 4 longear sunfish and a sand bass. The bass is still a little skittish if you walk up to the tank, but it's getting better. The sunfish on the other hand are like puppies. They've all been in the tank for about a month or less, but the biggest sunfish already takes worms from my fingers...

I've been thinking about adding CO2 to one of my tanks (to start) and one of the options talked about on the Buce Plant video is the Aquario NEO kit. It's inexpensive and low-tech (utilizes a chemical reaction to generate CO2, but doesn't use a regulator or solenoid). I figure at $30-$40 it...

I set up a 20g QT tank in my laundry room.

Almost 6 months later:

Here are my three current goldfish in their 125g. This is Midnight: This is Dreamsicle: This one doesn’t have a name yet: Their home:

Thank you, it’s just something I had kind of pictured in my head. I will post more pictures as everything progresses. I now need to find the prettiest goldfish which means stalking all of the local fish shops. The live plants are an experiment, but hopefully everything is tough enough to survive.

I bought this setup just over two years ago and finally made room for it. After kicking around several ideas on what to put in it we decided to keep it fairly basic and go with goldfish, especially since the other goldfish tank was borderline too small. How many fancy goldfish would you put in...

Platies, white cloud mountain minnows, and certain danios should be ok with goldfish.

I have a large angel, 6 serpae tetras, and 6 black skirt tetras in the 55g.

I do love pictus catfish.

So a few months ago I lucked into a 125g tank, stand, and lights for a heck of a deal from someone who was downsizing. I originally was going to put some type of pong fish in it since my wife's grandmother has a pond stocked with bass, blue gill, and some type of catfish. We kicked around the...

I used play sand in my 55g and it's going on 2 years without issues. I do highly recommend washing play sand really well before adding it to the tank or else it will be very cloudy for a while. And by really well, I mean agitate it well after you think its clear because there will be more silt...

I wasn't really sure. When it came out of the pond it didn't show much color or pattern, but when I release it yesterday it had some.

I think it’s a green sunfish. Yes. My wife’s grandmother has a stocked pond on her property. We also caught some smallmouth bass. I’ll release this one in a day or two.
