    The plan

    Ok I have a 55gal tank heres the plan; two male A. Cacatuoides and maybe 3 or 4 females (whichever you think would be better), 8 black phantom tetras, 8 serpae tetras, perhaps a small school 4-6 killies, and about 6 cory cats in a very WELL planted tank. Ok by seeing this list are there any...

    Why is my Apisto gasping?

    Isnt having an airstone and a co2 system both kind of defeat the purpose of having a co2 system? The co2 would be disapated by the airstone wouldnt it?

    Scratches on glass

    I recently obtained a 55gal tank for free. After cleaning it out i discovered many scratches on the inside of the tank. I was wondering is there anything that is cheap and easy i could do to repair these scratches?

    Hey fellas

    I like eicello's idea but ive got another species in mind (sorry im so fickle i just love them all :D ). How about a viejita I or II ? Also do you think a school or shoal of killi's for the top strata would do pretty well with them? Looking at Aphyosemions, Nothobranchius, Rivulus, or...

    Having Alge Problems? Try these.

    Male Cac very dark

    Sorry to hear about the F0 female chap. If i had a male id send it to you for free just so you wouldnt have to get rid of her lol. But if giving her away is best for her health then its sounds like a good plan.

    Dwarfs on paper?

    Are there any really good books you guys would recomend for identifying and keeping dwarf cichlids? I have one it is a TFH book entitled Dwarf Cichlids: keeping & Breeding them in captivity by David E. Boruchowitz but it isnt very detailed and there arent alot of pictures that describe the...

    "angel ram"?

    Rams look better without genetic deformities driven by man. Nature makes the best looking things by itself and when we interfere with them it is just ugly. Anyways if a deformity like that occured in nature it would probably get eaten up by other fish anyways. Survival of the fittest and a fish...
