I have a new cycled 50 gallon and am thinking about getting some angelfish. With so many different types that are so eye catching Im wondering if its ok to put a few different types in the same tank ie. albino with marble ect. I asked at the pet store but I was skeptical of their answers. They've steered me in the wrong direction a few times :grr: As well, I have two black finned sharks. One is about four inches, the other three. Just babies, on their way to getting bigger! Are they ok to put with the angels? I know they're very quick and might give them some stress. Has anybody ever had these two together?

Really? Thats some great info. I decided on a aquaclear 70, because of the ease of finding media for it, advice from others, as well as the success of the smaller one in my 25 gallon. Good to know about the plants, I LOVE live plants. I like to keep it as natural as possible. Thanks for all the tips everyone!!!!

Im planning on putting in plants, as well as a medium stocked tank. Not sure exactly what fish, but something like discus or angels. Something along those lines.

I recently bought a 50 gallon aquarium that came with a fluval 240 canister filter. Im cycling the tank now and am noticing the tank is slightly murky, and there are floaties on the top that have been swirling around for days now. Seems to me this isn't an effective way to filter the water. I put a new carbon filter bag in it, and it came with the sponges and the ammonia remover stones. My aquaclear 50 that I have in my 25 gallon seems to do a really good job. These are the only two I have ever worked with. I'm looking to hear some suggestions of good filters, before I go out and by a new one. If anyone has one they live by I'd love to hear about it.

Excellent site. Very informative. Looks like I just have to be patient and see if the level goes down. Its all part of the cycle! Thank you.

I just started my 15 gallon tank three weeks ago. To speed up the cycling process I added seven Danios as well as a wall of plants. I kept checking my Ammonia and Nitrite levels and they steadily went up and the ammonia level dropped right down (good thing, right?) However the Nitrite has hovered steadily at about 5.0 ppm for a week now. The water is very clear and the fish and plants all seem to be doing well. Im wondering if this is normal in the cycling process or should I do something to bring it down. Im quite new to this and would like to add new fish, but I can't until the level is down (I think). Any comments would be appreciated.

I recently discovered my Betta was covered in fungus. It seemed to happen overnight! I bought some fungus cure tablets made by Aquarium Pharmaceuticals, however by the time I got them home the little guy didn't make it. My problem is now that I had him in a 2 gallon tank with an aquatic frog (both were bought at the same time about a month ago). The frog seems fine, but Im wondering if I need to do anything else except change the water. Do I put the fungus tablets in the water as a precaution? Im quite new at this and have started a bigger 20 gallon tank. Nothing in it yet (its early in its cycle), but I'd like to know what to do if this happens in there. Any fungus advice would be appreciated!
