Hi all,

I have a 55 gallon freshwater aquarium thats moderately planted. Problem is that I have great trouble keeping plants alive (the fish are doing great)--the leaves start turning brown no matter how much fertilizer or iron supplements i add. I have 2 aquaglow 15 watt lights turned on in a 12 hour light cyle. I suspect that's not enough light since i heard its supposed to be 2 watts per gallon, so i need over a 100 watts of light? Since my aquarium hood (from an Allglass 55 gallon aquarium kit) can only handle these smaller tube lights, do i need to get another hood in order to keep these plans? thanks very much.

I have no idea what it is and how to complete it. I'm doing it for a fish tank and it Petco Care Sheets and i have no idea what they are talking about. Sites that people recommended me didnt help. what are the stages in completing it? What do you need to buy for it? How long does it take with special equipment? How long will it take for a two gallon tank? What are the specific steps to do it and make sure it is complete and ready to add fish? What do you need to get to get the readings they say that should be read? do you take it into the pet store and they do a water test on it? will it take 6-7 weeks for a little two gallon tank? what do you need to buy to get rid of ammonia? please help!!!!!!!!!!

He is the coolest thing I ever saw! seems very hyper and mucho in love with the loach. I have never seen one before and wonder if i could find him a girlfriend. I have named him Dave.
He shares a tank with a mated pair of angels, a butterfly fish, & his loachy bum chum. he may not actually be a he, but how do I tell?
It is a 2 ft ish tank so loads of room for more fishies.
Suggestions on a postcard please?...

When I came home from work she was not on the counter to greet me. So I looked for her and found her behind the T.V stand dead. It looked like she was comfortably laying down. There was blood coming from her snout. I don't understand what happened...

She was healthy, young, happy, loving. She was less than two years old! I'm so upset. I feel like this is all my fault. She has a 'sister' and I could tell she's upset. I don't know what to do to help her out. They are the same age.

The boy ran around the back of our tent into our campsite? Our dog is 1 year old and neutered. How can I stop him before he is forced to be put down if he does it again or to the wrong person who will demand it.

I have 6 tetras (4 neons and 2 black neons) and I've recently discovered they're probably not going to school together. As it stands my neons don't even school (they've been together for roughly 2 weeks). Is this because their group is too small, because my tank is too small (10 gallons) or because the temperature is set at 88 to kill an Ich infection?
How can I encourage schooling, given that the supplier of my fish wont accept the black neons back and I have nowhere else to put them. My neons and black neons also occasionally show aggressive behaviour, though never towards the guppies, I expect this is normal and they're establishing a pecking order, but is it? Also, i have 4 guppies in my tank so would adding 2 more neons be overstocking? I also have a small 5 gallon fry tank which I'm raising my fry in until they're big enough to either switch with my community tank or give away.
Any help would be much appreciated.

ok i have 5 frogs and a toad. The toad and 4 of the frogs are big enough to eat pinkie mice(and seem to love them) but i hear people say don't more than once a week they are high in fat. Here is my problem, i hate adding artificial stuff to my pets diet IE dusting powers, they don't seem to care for the Dusted crickets much, and Pinkies provide more nutrition than crickets. Has anyone had a frog/toad that was purely pinkie fed? and if so how was his health?Side note i breed mice so i have a good supply of pinkies.
