BAM!!! Still trying to play with the hardscape, but this looks 10000000 tines better than before. Everyone is eating a nice meal of fish flakes… apparently, the move was more traumatic for me than it was them. I had one fish flop on the floor for about a minute before I realized he was missing…...

Howdy everyone! I am trying to get my 29 gallon tall tank hardscaped and am just struggling with what to put where. I have some small plants that will go in eventually, but does anyone have ideas on this rock situation. I’m trying to cover a black bubbler and my air hose. I’m planning on a fish...

I hope to graduate medical school in 7 years, so I may have a Koi pond budget in 15 years :p It's in the "if I win the lottery" category of projects (along with a reptile room, a fish room, a HUGE marine aquarium, a discus tank, and a pea puffer tank).

The tank passed the leak test. Whoop woop! NearMeBettas I’m not quite sure what type of fancy goldfish I’ll get, but I’m excited. Definitely not something that gets huge, although I dream of a koi pond one day.

I’m so excited! All the old black gravel is out, new sand arrives today. The tank has been scrubbed top to bottom with vinegar water. Black background is painted on!!! So excited.

I’m redoing my 29 gallon tall! It has been a community tank since 2014, but almost every fish from then has passed on. I’m going to convert it to a Goldie tank, but first it needs a makeover! Here is the before pic halfway into draining. I had already removed rocks. The plan is to paint a black...

Hi everyone! I have a 29 gallon tank that I'd love to stock with 2 fancy goldfish. I have an aquaclear 70 on the tank, so I don't expect filtration to be an issue. I would like to have it moderately planted, but I won't be heartbroken if the goldies decide to chop the plants down. My main...

Apistos and hatchet fish are awesome!!!

Axolotls are super cool! Unfortunately, I can’t get my water cool enough for them.

Hi Everyone, I have a 29 gallon tall tank that I'm itching to stock... I have had community tanks in the past, but I'm looking for some unique fish. The tank has an aquaclear 70 in filtration, and will be moderately planted. I have always loved angelfish, kribs, cories, german blue rams, pea...

Water perams (exact)? Pics of the tanks? As I think about it, a larger tank usually means more décor. Could the bettas be scraping themselves accidentally? What's the filtration like? One thing to consider may be your water source... I've found bettas to do better with a certain PH. I'm also...

Honestly it depends on the strength of the filter. If I'm understanding correctly, you want to but the sponge so that it covers the intake completely. I really don't think you should have too much of an issue. I would just make sure to watch your nitrates. If they get too high, do a WC. (why am...

I know there are a few exceptions to the "south American" theme, but would this stocking work out? (In my head it does, but it can't hurt to double check...) If so, I'm thinking about a temp of 82ish and a ph of 6 something. 2 German Blue Rams (with lots of caves and open swimming space with...

And I just finished the makeover. I think some before/after pics are in order. Before: After: Hopefully y’a can tell which is which! ps. the after has two rocks on the bottom which will cover the heater. I just need the temp reading atm. It also needs plants, but I’m waiting for the tank to...

So, here’s the finished product!!! I do still need to decide to add driftwood or not, but the rock is done. Picture the two rocks on the very bottom covering the heater... atm, I need the temp reading.

Thank you, I just finished washing gravel!!! So. Much. Filth.

So, the tank is drained, fish are out, and gravel is cleaned... throwing in some prime and letting them chill in a ten gallon tub until the AM.

That’s a cool idea!

Thank you! The three spot is my oldest gal, and she’s such a weirdo! BBS, and bloodworms are her día irte things to eat. In terms of the tetras, I’d love to get a micro school, but I’d rather have one large school of danios than two small ish schools... just a stylistic choice. I’ve had...

I love that look as well. I used to have super tall wisteria growing on that half of the tank, but it was recently torn out because it was a JUNGLE!!! I could always do double driftwood... I’ve just got to be on the lookout for the right pjefe... (I’m super picky with it. My last piece lasted...
