Here's a photo of them open

Yup I just registered on Canreef. Waiting for my account to be approved.

Just started my first reef tank and was given some corals as a gift.

Problem is he doesn't remember what types they are lol.

Can anyone help me ID these?

Anyone have any idea what type of snail this is and if they are bad?

Forgot to mention I do have a spare light fixture that holds 24" bulbs I can use as well....

Help needed!!

33 gallon tank

Light fixture I have currently holds a Life-Glo 2 30" 25 watt bulb

I need more light for my plants to grow!!

I'm having a hard time finding 30" bulbs though. Even Hagen website doesn't show any 30" bulbs

Anyone know of any anywhere in Calgary?

Thanks

Can anyone identify this plant?

Thanks!!

I am new to planted tanks.

I don't even know half the plants in my tank! They were just recommended to me for my setup

Any recommendations or tips??

Fish are...

2 guppys

1 Betta

1 koi angel

2 black mollies

4 yo yo loaches

6 harlequin rasboras

1 rainbow shark

Howdy folks!

New to aquatic plants.

Have always been interested in the natural look.

Have done a lot of reserch but one quetion still remains unanswered....

I move in about 1.5 months. Will have a new 75 gallon when I move in.

But in the meantime I would like to see if I can even keep plants alive! I was thinking of growing some in a smaller tank, say 20 - 30g. If succesful, can I just transfer to the plants/substrate to the 75g the first day I set it up?? or will they die during the cycle period like fish do?

Thanks!!

Haven't actually bought any fish yet. Tank is still cycling

ok 1 last question...

I was planning on using an aquaclear 70 and 30 on each side of the aquarium.

I was told by a LFS that I should use the aquaclear 70 and an aquaclear 50 powerhead instead.

I thought tangs don't like water flow.....

Can anyone clarify or make suggestions?

Going to get the equipment today!

I kinda of figured the Front wouldn't work. Thought I would try though

More Petricolas - got it!

The Mrs will be unhappy if I don't go with Daffodils lol. It was the one fish that she wanted

no plans on breeding at all and cross-breeding would be bad. How would I get around this? 1 fish of each peacock species? all females??

Any other types that anyone can recommened that would be suitable?

Thanks for advice so far!

Wandering over to the cichlid world from community and was hoping I could get some of you to critique my stocking list as well as filtration.

Fluval Osaka 70 G tank

1 Aquaclear 70 and 1 Aquaclear 30

2 x Daffodil Brichardi

2 x Sunshine Peacock

2 x Ruby Red Peacock

2 x Black Calvus

2 x Electric Yellow

2 x Bristlenose Plecos

2 x Synodontis Petricola

1 x Frontosa

Thanks a bunch!!!

My cousin recently set-up a new tank and after looking at it I realized that the fish do not mix very well in the size of tank he has.

He says the guy at the store said it was fine so he is going to take the "professionals" word for it.

I need the professionals on AA to prove me right!! We have a little bet going and hoping you guys win it for me!

29 gallon long

1 Red Jewel

1 Blue Acara

2 Kribensis

1 Firemouth

1 Bristlenose

Thoughts on the mix and tank?

Thoughts on what to do?

For those who use the Aquaclear filters, which inserts do you use with it?

I have heard of people who use just the sponge while others use sponge, carbon and another form of media.

Any tips?

It would be for a community tank

Not sure how to describe this so I will do my best...

Tank stock...

3 keyholes, 1 gold ram, 2 zebra danios, 1 BN pleco

Story...

My fiance wanted to take the danios out because they kept chasing the other fish.

It took her 2 days and numerous attempts each day to get them out.

After she got them out, all 3 keyholes went into hiding for 2 full days.

1 came out looking normal while the other 2 came out with their tails AND fins clamped together into a point. If you think of a tack, the top is the fish and the pointy part is their tail!!

The also lost their color.

Now they have a hard time swimming without their fins flared out.

Before she decided to take the danios out, the keyholes were doing just fine.

Any ideas as to what is going on?

EDIT: I have since taken ALL fish out of her tank and put them in mine in case of poor water quality. She wasn't very good at looking after her tank! They have been in my tank for 2 days now and swimming around as much as they can

Just got back from Riverfront over the weekend. They have 4 different types of Apistos in stock...

Orange Flash, double reds, wild agassizis and some other type for $18.99 each!

Nice looking Apistos too!!

Not sure where to post this....

I've seen people asking about Apistos so thought I would share...

I was at Pisces Pets last night and they had......

A bunch of female Apistogramma Cacatuides. $30 each

A ton of Apistogramma Eunotos. GORGEOUS orange/red coloring on the fins all the way around it's body. $40 each

I can't justify paying that much for Apistogrammas, considering I got double red cacatuides at Golds a few months ago for $15 each!

But maybe someone will want these :thumbs:

Hi all... just wanted to bug you with another one of these "tank stocking" threads..

29 gallons

3 Wild Apistogramma Agassizi - 1m , 2f

4 Harlequin Rasboras

2 Julie Cories

1 Bristlenose Pleco

That's about it.

Too much? Too little? Other recommendations?

Thanks for your help!

I did get that PM.. Sorry didn't have time to reply.

Those parents won't take the babies out swimming until after 2-3 days of hatching. You will see them this weekend!

Are these the ones you got from me?

As you saw in my tank, I left the babies from the first batch in with the parents. They ended up protecting those little guys along with any new fry. They made fantastic parents!!

Looking to attend.

Is this open to the public or members only?

Could use some new stock

New to Dwarf cichlids, so thought I would post some pics. Any comments, suggestions or criticism about the tank and fish welcomed!

25 gallon with a trio of Double Red Cacatuoides, a pair of German blue rams, a BN pleco and 3 zebra danios

Also, the female apistos have laid eggs 4 times and as of yet no fry. Could this be because of the tankmates??

Hiya,

Need some advice...

5 days ago I bought a pair of Kribs (Pelvicachromis pulcher)...

From the moment I put them into the tank, the female keeps "attacking" the male.

Here's what happens all the time...

1) Male comes out into the open to feed, swim or whatever and the female chases it away.

2) Female spots male in hiding spot and chases it. In some situations, the male stays put and the female seems to "headbutt" it about 8 times until the male takes off

Is this an unusually aggressive female? Should I get rid of it?

The tank is a well planted 20g with lots of rocks. Tankmates are 3 danios and 2 upside down catfish

Thanks in advance!

Ok rams r doing great for me. Beautiful fish

Now instead of starting a new thread i figured i'd just continue in this one.

My Kribs r starting to outgrow the 10g, so i'm moving them to a 20g with an albino bristlnose. Any other cichlids i can add in with them? Keyholes, blue/red rams, etc..?

Edit: 2 kribs, 1m/1f

U the one off beyond??
