Hmm those are cool but I have yet to see them locally. Are these guys brackish or fresh water?

I decided to nix my feeder breeding setup (felt bad for the fish) and instead I cleaned up the tank real good - barebottom now- and hooked it up to a 20 gallon sump I had running on a 125g which is already cycled. Question is, what to put in it?? I'd like to try something new- definitely not...

Man oh man you got a troublemaker on you hands haha. Hes looks great btw! I like the plants in the tank, they add a bit of greenery. I had added some fakes to my setup as well to see if I could get away with real ones later on and so far what I've noticed is that they like to rip or move...

Green terrors are not fast growers Or maybe frontosas

My apologies, as I mentioned before it was not my intention to be rude to you. I am happy you're enjoying your fish and after learning more about the backstory it makes sense. I was just making an observation from an outsiders perspective. Without any details and the amount of similar posts , it...

Please excuse me as this may sound rude, but are you just trying to plug this place in Miami for some reason? Affiliated? Which nothing wrong with that, I've seen the store and you got yourself some lovely discus but spamming the board with pics and plugs is a little silly. And again I may be...

It's not that they wont tolerate it, but that it is not an ideal setup for them at all. I guess it all depends on how you want to keep them, but you should know by doing so you'll be shortening their lifespan considerably. Higher temps makes their metabolism go faster and in the long term...

I dont think those frogs will handle those temps very well, and they will definitely eat your betta and the tetras. Loaches might be ok. Another thing to consider is that betta will not survive for long in temperatures higher than 84 long term. Same with the cardinal tetras. I could be wrong...

Also that tool looks just like one of those swiffer things. I wonder if I can mod a dollar store one with a green scrubber sponge.. hmmm

Dang that tool looks great but it's a tad pricey. I like duanes diy solution, might give it a go tonight as I have all the parts already! I've never bothered with my back panels before but I'll admit I've been obsessing over this tank lately so I'm trying to keep it as clean as I can. That...

So I've been having a heck of a time trying to clean my back glass panel in my tank as there are certain spots I just cant reach and I was wondering if anyone had any tips or tools to make this easier. I have some stubborn algae spots that have to be manhandled haha. The tank is a 6ft long and...

+1 this. If I were to do another tank this is pretty much what I'd do. I'd go with another 125 gallon with lots of plants. Big school of cories Angels A school of tetras And no plecos. - instead I would do a few siamese algae eaters. (Not SA or CA but FAR less bio load, very active, and they...

I had totally forgotten about those! That's AMD excellent option as well. Thank you

Changed a few things over the last few weeks. Got some rocks from a garden store, added an fx6 with sponges and got some silver dollars Everything looking great so far.

Good question, also sounds like this might be good bio media if so. I tried to look online but I couldn't find anything larger than a softball

Ahhh something like that would be great, I did not know they came in larger sizes like that.

I tried this once, but the problem I had is that I found myself battling with my fish because they would keep digging pits until they exposed the egg crate. I lost that battle... lol

I was wondering if anyone knows of a type of rock that's a little lighter in weight (much like lava rock) that can be used for hardscaping? I've been wanting to get a larger sized river rock type of stone but the ones I've seen are super heavy, and I dont think I'd be comfortable resting on my...

I cant offer much advice as I'm not very familiar with this species, but that is a beautiful tank! You have some really nice looking fish! What kind of filtration setup/ water change routine do you have if you don't mind me asking? Also, do you use an RO system at all? I've always wanted to...

Thank you for the comments, its always helpful to consider all angles. So I decided to run all 3 filters for a few days and I was amazed at how clear the water was. Looks like the sponge is a lot better at trapping the small particulates than any other filter I've had. With that said, I did...
