In the paste I have run my 48 inch tank with only one filter on one side of the tank for different reasons, you just need to sift the gravel well or hover over sand to avoid a mess piling up. I cant see how a filter on the side of the tank yould be a problen at all. My concern would be finding...

There is a good chance that it will be fine, It is ideal to have more females then males and you could likely even add a 2 or 3 more females But i am hesitant to suggest that whithout knowing how many other fish you have.

It is possible to keep the shrimp without a filter, but its more work. You would need to carefull keep the amount of shrimp low, carefull clean, be carefull not to overfeed, The live plants will help,but you should have an air pump of some type no matter what, so it seems silly to me to...

Hi, welcome to fishlore, Im sorry that your first post is so upsetting! Can you pleas tell us- what fish did you have in the tank. What fish died. do you know your current Ph, Nitrite, Ammonia, Nitrate, Gh, and Temp. what do you mean exactly by "stabalizer" What were your filters clogged with...

no woories, thanks! A rubberlip should work, Plecos tend to be territorial, they squabble for food a territory at night whenno ones whatching. you may know - if you want to keep more then 1, have hollow decorations on both sides of the tank, keep live or silk plants and decorations to break up...

Thats great! I wasnt suggesting that you did not reasearch, I was just trouble shooting. I am also not a newby my old account got messed up, I have seen you on hear a lot, Like I said before, I was just listing some things that might help you or future readers. You learn somthing new every...

Very nice looking fish!, Im glad to hear that they are peacefull enough to leave the fry alone. I had to rehome my paradise gourami it was so aggressive!

The angelicus pleco is a smaller pleco that is more omnivorous then most if you are worried about the fish over eating on algae. But I dont think that overeating killed your pleco, please check your water chemistry to be sure it works for all fish in your tank. Please add real driftwood for...

You can try it out and see how it goes. But generally, you dont mix labrynth fish species, I would not risk it, even if the seem to be getting along you can not see all the simptoms of stress in animals, You may find out too late that the fish are squabbling at night, when they should be relaxing.

6 foot tall and wide and doble or triple that in length so that i could have a varity of discus and tons of loaches. Someone else would be taking care of the tank for sure!

For the size of that thing its actually overprised. You really could not know for absolute sure what stone it is, as one company buys the rocks in bulk, then another company buys them to creat the animal shape. You might consider a glass or ceramic animal instead

hillstream loaches would like the smooth areas of slate for the algae that it will grow, I used to have slate in my tank in 2 corners balanced on glass candle sticks, and my hillstream loaches could often be sceen squabbleing over the algae. How do you feel about snails, it might be a great...

Hi , nice to see you too! Somthing went wrong with my noroomforshoe account and i can not post anything when i sign into it, so i made this similar account and hoped someone might realise it was me! Thanks for recognizing me! I dont know much about cichlids either, I have kept a few of the...

is your tank freshwater? He looks like a blood parrot ciclid. Can you tell us the tank size, and fish size , and let us know if it is inches or centimeters? thanks! I think that it is important to identifi the species of your fish in order to know if you are careing for it corectly whith...

Your tank is gorgeos!, Im not sure if you need to remove the fish to make changes in this case, I am interested in what the answer is from somone who is more experianced with live plants.

the Jade snake would get my vote!

he looks like the ideal picture to me

My gues is that she just got spoiled, for lack of a better term. Shes ignoring the burger king food and holding out for the prime rib. You will likly need to just keep offering pellets untill she gets hungry enought to eat, or forget pellets and feed live and frozen. Good luck, I hope it works out!

Hi, your pictures are actually very good! You could try a phone tri pod and or a remote control for the shutter. I second the healthy food recomendation. I learned from a member on this sight that flake fooods are not ideal for any fish because they nutrition leaks into the water very fast...

I dont think you need to feel obligated to keep adding replacement fish. I know its easy to feel sad for the schooling shouling fish when the numbersstart to dwindle, but i think aquarium fish deal with it better since they learn that they are not at risk of predation. One time ages ago I had...
