I’m switching to saltwater?

admin — Thu, 03 May 2012 04:58:40 +0000

I’ve been keeping freshwater fish for about 4 years now, and I’m finally going to try to keep a saltwater tank. I’m going to be buying a 90 gallon tank and am thinking about getting one yellow head moray eel to go in it. I’ve read that these are very hardy fish. Do you think a 90 gallon is big enough? I don’t plan on putting any other fish in it besides the eel, although someone told me that cleaner shrimp make great tankmates for morays.

Any advice or suggestions would be great.

Using black sand as a substrate?

admin — Wed, 18 Apr 2012 22:56:11 +0000

I have a ten gallon tank that currently has some blue standard aqarium gravel. It is freshwater, but I would still like to change the substrate to black sand. So how would I go about that? It is the home to a male betta, 3 cory cats and two ghost shrimp. Would I have to catch them and toss them in a bucket with the tank water and then scrape out all the gravel and add the black sand? Would my tank have to recycle even if I used the same filter and plants/decoration?

Also would it be okay to just get black play-sand and rinse it in a pillow case and then soak it for a week?
Okay, I can get the aqarium sand, but were would I keep my fish for two weeks?
Okay are you sure I don’t have to recylce? I know a lot of people don’t know what they are talking about, but I trust you as you usally give awsome advice. I am going to check around on some various fish forums just in case(:
Ooo I like the idea of having the gravel on the bottom and covering it with sand(: But eventually I might get a khulie loach or two and I think they would be surprised when they went to burrow…

why is my established – 10 gal freshwater tank cloudy?

admin — Fri, 18 Nov 2011 04:40:44 +0000

I have an established 10 gallon tank. I’ve had it about a year.
Lately, like the past week, the water seems to be more cloudy than usual. I did a 3 gal change this am and tonight the nitrate/nitrite and other things are all in range.

The only thing different is that w/i the last month I noticed a sudden appearance of a bunch of baby malaysian trumpet snails.

Could that be why the water is cloudy?

Also, I’ve lost about 3 fish over the last 3 months. I suspected ich or velvet and treated with that teatree oil fish med.

Currently I have two zebras, two platys, a female betta, 4 ghost shrimp and about 500 teeny tiny baby malaysian trumpet snails.

One potted plant. put in a new filter today.

The other new thing is TetraMin Tropical Crisps. Or maybe it is the freeze-dried bloodworms….

any thoughts on what could be causing the cloudy water?
