I had 2 angels die in a week. What would cause that? I have live plants, good filtration and other semi and non aggressive specimens. So why would my angels die? Sent from my SCH-M828C using MonsterAquariaNetwork App

So I realize that the fresh water fire eel and stripped peacock eel are not true eels but what would be the harm in having both in a tank with bards and cichlids? And in a 55 gallon tank is it ok to have a saltwater eel in a reef set up with clowns, stars, and other colorful fish? Or would I run...

So I have maybe 4 ghost shrimp that are loaded with eggs. Should I separate them? Sent from my SCH-M828C using MonsterAquariaNetwork App

Well I boiled the drift wood and changed out the water and all is going back to normal. Even replanted my anacharis shoots. Now just waiting on my pond Lilly and onion bulbs to start peaking up through the substrate. Thank you all for your thoughts and insights. Sent from my SCH-M828C using...

yeah the one with the fish is the newer one... Everying this new in the tank... If the wood is leeching tannis will it clear up in a few days? I ask because I bought a bunch of glass shrimp and at least 5 of them had clutches of eggs and I don't want to disturb where they may have laid them...

I have some drift wood that I washed prior to placing it. And it is not so much muck but murk. The tank has been cycling for about a 4 days now prior to putting in the fish. The first pic is with the cloud the second is the day after I set it up. It is a 20g long so 30.7x13.7x12.7. Sent from...

So I just set up my tank with live plants and tan gravel. I let it run over night and the following morning the water was a murky orange. My Ph is at a 7.2 and my nitrates are low. I have several barbs and shrimp in it as well. What should I do to get rid of the orange murk? I already did a...

Oh wow. Those are big... what size tank are you putting them in? Sent from my SCH-M828C using MonsterAquariaNetwork App

Yep. Which is why there are over 1000 different types in Africa's great rift valley lakes. Sent from my SCH-M828C using MonsterAquariaNetwork App

Ok now i understand. Snakeheads = bad when released... note to self make sure purchased fish are not going to out grow the tank i put them in... and second not to self: tis better to flush and lost than to release and regret.

OK so I will admit I am no expert on fish but what is the issue with snakeheads? No I am not a save the fish person I am just curious about them. Sent from my SCH-M828C using MonsterAquariaNetwork App

I have to agree completely. Even the specialty shops have ppl just wanting to make a sale. I asked one about live planted setups Ans he looked at me like I had asked it in a foreign language. Thank you MFK's for all your help and insight. Sent from my SCH-M828C using MonsterAquariaNetwork App

So i have started making purchases for both of my new tanks. I am setting up a 55 gallon and a 20 gallon long tank. For the 55g it is going to be a saltwater tank and I am wondering as I prepare to purchase the light ficture: What kind of T5 should I aquire? and for the 20g freshwater that will...

I have seen that LEDs that do both day and night lighting not only save energy but also last longer than the T-5s. I am wanting to do a live plant only in my 20 gallon freshwater tank so is the LED light the better way to go rather than doing a long hallogen holding hood? And for my 55...

I have come to realize that no two tank heaters are alike... What is good for one size tank is not necessarily good for another. I am setting up a 55 gallon saltwater tank (mind you it is not even holding water yet.) And I have come to realize that a number of sites and pet stores differ on...

Fleshy thank you very much for the site recomendation... I am very please with what I have seen so far.

So if i use a spot light would i need to use 2 of them on either side of the tank? or on just one side?

I have been pricing some light holders for my saltwater tank setup and they are not cheap. I am wondering if i were to pick up 2 goose neck lamps what wattage of lightbulb should i use? Should i use white light or the new spiral bulbs? If all else fails should i, for the health of the tank...

I have been trying to figure out why my tank lights keep going out. The latest one to go out isn't even a month old. I turn the lights off at night and durning the hot parts of the day... What would be causing them to short out like this, and to make it more interesting, it is the right side...
