Bad DAy.. shark died. i think it needed salt in the water. stupid store told me they didn't. the F8s are fine though and I need to get rid of the arrowana but no one wants to buy it off me. should I give it away? or wait it out? its pretty small now. but it will probably grow bigger later. also i br...

are you sure that picture isn't manipulated somehow? i was told they get to about 20 inches... also i now dont have any of my dwarf puffers left in the tank... im guessing one of the fish ate them.. the goldfish are returned now. so I have a silvertip shark. it wasnt the columbian that i thought and...

i was told by the seller its ok for a 75 gallon and it shouldnt grow bigger than the tank its in

hey unfortunately i can only return the columbian catfish and the goldfish. the arrow i bought off someone not a store.. what do you suggest doing then if i had to keep the arrow?

My friend let me run it in her tank since last week. she also gave me some of her gravel in a pouch to let me put in my tank.. My green filter is pretty big I'm pretty sure it can handle the job. on it it says watt 20 tp and typ 2217. So what should I do about the goldfish? Should i return them to t...

hey. so i've setup my old 75 gallon tank last week. I'm running my green can filter on it. Its been a week already so i added a small silver arowana that i bought off someone, 4 goldfish and columbian catfish (I think). I also added my f8 and dps in there. I'm planning to get a bigger puffer as the ...

Hi, a little update. Since I stopped feeding the puffers food soaked in clove oil, they have been swimming around more and being more active. I'm going to setup my 75 gallon this weekend and begin cycling it. Also, i've left the 2 f8 in the 5.5 and the 2 dps in 1 2.5 and the other 2 in a 2.5. I do w...

Ya I guess I could setup my 75 gallon. But from everywhere i read about cycling it takes soo long unless I buy some of the products which some people say it doesnt work.. in the mean time I will water change 2twice a day in the morning and at night until i setup my 75. hope they survive..

Yeah i just did like a 90 % water change. I hope they will survive. I have a 2.5 gallon right now I guess ill throw the 4 dp in there and keep the 2 f8 in the 5.5 gal. Could I just do massive water changes everyday until the tank cycles? I have an empty 75 gallon but i dont know if I should set it a...

crap, really? I thought the person said clove oil.. yeah i will try to get some marine salt. by the way whats the difference. Also I was told me the petstore that I could keep them in a 5.5 gallon cause they are small? I will bring my water to get it tested at the store tomorrow. i read that article...

oh i also forgot to mention, someone told me that soaking their food in clove oil will help their immune system so before i drop the snails in i soak them in some clove oil.

Hello I have 2 figure 8 puffer and 5 dwarf puffers in a 5.5 gallon tank and they seem to be dying. the f8s are not swimming just lying there at the bottom and the dwarf ones float around up top. i did put alot of aquarium salt like the store told me to for them. i started off with 5 dwarfs but one w...
