:welcome: Welcome :beer:

Made from a background from an exo terra terrarium. In the process of making a home made one but what a mess the Styrofoam makes!!!!!!

Standard tank sizes http://alysta.com/books/fishtank.htm

thank you for the reply, the tank and stand are brand new only 2 weeks old , now this !!!!! I would agree get rid of the MDF stand once it starts to expand it will place uneven pressure on you tank and you will loose the stand and tank (probably no fish yet only 2 weeks old)

Tank up and running cycling with ammonia

To keep my tank cool I mounted two computer cpu fans in the canopy run them with a 9v power adapter, took a cheep Styrofoam cooler cut a hole in the top so my canister filter will fit in it filled the cooler with freezer packs, extras in the freezer and changed them out as needed. Seem to work.

Almost done picking up gravel tomorrow. Styrofoam background sure makes a mess building one!! Filter and heater behind back ground

Piced up this at Home Building Center

Ya, you are right it is actualy 12" oops! Here is it with a start of the stand.

Found some galss and thought I would give this a try

Well you are in the right place. Welcome

With the socolofi that’s what I figured happened (1 disppeared and 2 got beat up) The catfish will be moved to a separate tank this weekend. What is the proper medication for this, need something very generic as the LFS has a limited supply of fish stuff (they only carry Hagen products for example). From what I have read on the web (Learned to read about 10 sites and then try to figure it out) it is not contagious. But if there is a product that works exceptionally well I will have it flown in. I to think how may tanks I would end up with if I lived in Calgary again (might be something like you list of tanks, are they all up and running water chages must be a full day event). For the Yellowes I do leave them in the tank to spit and let the other fish eat the babies. Ya sound cruel but that’s nature and is better than splash, flush, and swirl. I still end up with 4 to 5 with each brood must be too many hiding places for them.

I have a Feather Fin Catfish with Hole in head and lateral line disease (he's also FAT) got him given to me about a year ago I am wondering if the scars holes go away he has been this way since I got him and did not expect him to live this long!! tried to up load a picture but having some issues with that there is a picture posted in my album. (hum got the picture to post)

The banded Leporinus are doing well with the others (every one still has their fins). Purchaed them from LF thought they looked cool, got them home them did some research on them. Oops did not know they would get so big. (lerned my lesson to find out about them first befor purchasing). They only fight with each other, and not very often. The socolofi are pretty aggressive but only to each other had 6 of them now down to 3 I think I started out with 4 males and one female. The female has been holding 3 times now but not little ones. The loaches are holding their own, read that they were compatable with cichlids (second lesson every one on the internet is an expert just ask them). Actualy do not get bothered by any of the other fish. At feeding time they rule the tank. The problem I have now is with the Electric Yellows, boy do the breed a lot!!!! Trying to get rid of a few of them. The Sailfin Catfish was given to me May 07 has hole in head lateral line Diseases, still has holes have not gotten any worse since I got it, eats well and is quite active. Synodontis Angelicus are they black or brown? I have a 54g bow front corner tank. Will be setting up a 33g next month or so once I get it shipped up.

oops link already posted
