At first he wanted to name her "P" but I said please pick a different name :p

"6" picked out and named by a 3yo because "Pinky went to the garden " :) The lighting is unflattering. She's blue with some yellow highlights.

Thanks Fishfur....this is as I expected. I guess i was hoping someone would say "yes. This is common because....." :oops:

My common pleco died this week. It was very sudden. He seemed fine/normal...swimming , eating, cleaning the glass.... one morning I found him arching backwards. I thought he was stuck under the driftwood so I moved it and repositioned him. By the time I came home from work that evening he had...

So I usually clean this tank every 3 weeks doing a 30% wc and some vacuuming of the gravel. When i siphon off 10g and then do the 30% wc I'm able to get under the rocks and decos. It's a tall tank and I found that was the best way. And then I add back the 10 I siphoned. I didn't clean the...

2 weeks ago I did what I call a deep clean on my 36g. Not the 1st time. I do about every 6m. I siphoned off 10g. Vacuumed out 7.5g...added back the siphoned 10g...added 10g of dechlorinated tap water to the correct temperature. Now...my plants are all melting. :( any insights would be greatly...

Haven't been here for awhile but I've perused some great info here. So I'm back with a new fish and questions. Brought Pinkie (named by my 2yo grandson...lol) home to a long standing 5g tank with 2 nerites. In testing the water my parameters are wnl but the GH which reads 180 on the test...

She IS gorgeous! I think you're giving me the nudge I need. I do have a 10g quarantine tank which is where all 3 are atm Here's Yin. It was Yin and Yang but I lost Yang. and I have to say I THINK she's a Guppy. I got some random fry from PC and they were in a mixed fish tank.

I am leaning more and more to this. 4 fish are too many for a 5g. I can easily rehome the molly into one of my other tanks. my Guppy (f) has to stay here since I have mollies in all other tanks. But the bumblebee catfish....any thoughts on his homing? Leave him in 5g? Or move to 75g ...

Well....tomorrow was 6 days ago. I dumped the tank today and started to visualize a new look. Which led me to thinking about new fish. And thinking how I've wanted a Betta. Which led me to research. I live by the domino affect. I've had a bumblebee catfish in this 5g along with a molly and a...

Recently acquired Disney so I've revisited the marvel universe to catch up on what I couldn't watch earlier this year :)

I've relocated the fish and tomorrow I'll be dumping the tank. It's the only tank I didn't do a redo recently so I guess it's time. The light that broke isn't part of my tank. It's just a clip on I use so I can have extra light when changing my tanks. Guess I gotta go shopping for that too. Thanks

Full redo? Do you mean my plants and driftwood too? I REALLY love what I have here :(

Worst thing in my fishing experience, except when I found my fish on the floor. And she was alive and still is ... so, yes, this would be the worst. I was refilling my 5g after doing a maintenance change and out of the blue the light bulb in a lamp above exploded. And of course the majority of...

Lately I've been noticing a nerite hitching a ride on another. I've had nerites for several years and maybe it's always happened but I just seem to be noticing it. Is this normal or indicative of a problem?

Thanks for your thoughts cause y'know....these are my babies

I was netting a few fish to move from 1 tank to another. I have them in a container for acclimation to the new tank. I looked over and was missing a fish and there it was on the floor. I scooped it up and put it back into the container. It fell maybe 3.5 feet and landed on a textured rug....one...

Researching further on my newest addition..... maybe this wasn't such a great idea. Now everything I'm reading says I should have 4-5 of these fish together. I didn't see that when I did a quickie look up in the store b4 I took the fish. My plan is/ was to put it in my 36g with mollies and...

Went to the store yesterday to pick up a larger net so I could move my pleco to his new home. Someone was giving away fish :rolleyes: Meet Cat....a 2yo upside-down catfish. :p

I've been watching like every single Marvel for like the last 6m. Taking a break with Grey's Anatomy. Not sure if I'll ever get back to Marvel, at least I need a longer break
