55 gallon aquarium will be my first. i think i have decided on 6 cardinal tetras, 6 glo-light tetras, 6 corydoras julii or aldolfoi or trilineatus (but likely the julii), 6 dwarf neon rainbow fish (melanotaenia praecox), and finally one of the smaller species of pleco (like a bristlenose). how does this sound?

I would really like to have a 55 gallon aquarium with Tanganyikan Shell Dwelling Cichlids occupying the sand, and a pair of Discus swimming in the middle. Water quality is not the problem, I can keep a clean tank, but is there a stable temperature they would both tolerate? Is there a water hardness they would both tolerate? I only want help from somebody who really knows what they are talking about. There should not be any aggression problems between the two because of the Shell Dwelllers' small size and their bottom dwelling habbits. Any knowledgable help would be great!

What are all the factors that could cloud up an aquarium?
And what is the best thing to do about it?
I am pretty satisfied with crystal clear, but is there anything that might work better?

I went to the pet shop today, and they had amazing angelfish similar to this one
http://www.geocities.com/shadowsoftherainforest/Angelfish.gif

Would paring that with a fish small fish be okay? On the tank, it said that the angelfish may get up to 6 inches. The other fish would MAYBE be 2 inches at most. The tanks are all marking with a letter, and if the tanks have the same letter, then those fish are potentially compatible. I'd definitely use that method to pick the other small fish.

I went to my local fish store and they told me real plants were much better for the fish than fake ones. So i bought the easiest ones to care for. I planted them in my aquarium and they were doing fine at first. Now they've all turned Yellow or brown and are dead except one of them ( i bought 5).

I use a weekly plant solution,
I keep my aquarium light on for exactly 10 hours a day,
and I keep my aquarium very clean.

Please help me before every one of my plants die!!!!

I got a new fish tank on sunday. I put two of my guppies in the tank yesterday to see if the water was safe for my other fish. Then today i put six more guppies in the tank and one of my males died right away. So i took them back out of the new tank and put them in a small bowl so more didnt die. Do you think i should get the water checked or do you think it was just bad timing. Maybe i hit it with the net when i caught him. I dont want to keep stressing my fish out so i dont know what to do? HELP!

Ok I have emailed MM on this but I'd like to get other sources of input. I'm planning out a new monster tank because I'm going to house Arowana with lower level cichlids. I got my prices for a 150 vs a 180 set up. Difference in pricing is about $200.00 which really means nothing to me overall. I just feel why pay for something if you really don't need it. Dimension on 150 is 72 x 18 x 28 and the 180 is 72 x 24 x 24. Arowana's do get to be big lengths, and this should be sufficient for that, but I'm worried about the turning radius. I can't go for a 210 or higher due to weight stability and transportation issues where I am at so it's a 180 or 150. What are my benefits outside of extra turning radius in a 180 if I elect to go with this vs the 150 which is about $200.00 lower in price for the set up.

Before tax, tank, stand, hooding and lighting are:

150 gallon set up : $754.00
180 gallon set up: $948.00

Best choice?

My betta eggs just hatched last night and for some reason the male isn't taking care of the fry. I read that he's supposed to help the babies whenever they fall to the ground and he'll help them back up but he's not doin' that. He's just sitting there... but, he's also constipated so is that why he's not taking care of them? Also, since he's not helping the babies back up, does that mean that they're gonna die? I already have quite a few that are just laying there at the bottom not doing anything. Are they dead? Please help!! Thanks

I have 8 beautiuful tanks from saltwater to freshwater. I have been asked by serveral people if I would set up and decorate a tank for their place. Because one is dealing with real plants, the price of the decoration, and labor, how would you charge someone and what would be a fair amount in your opinion?

I don't know what to tell them and it is a lot of work.

My female goldfish's eye was injured by the males in the tank a few months ago while they were attempting to spawn. It bulged for a day or so and then the swelling when down and the eye returned to normal. Except now when she turns in the light that same eye is very reflective, more so than the other. I'm aware goldfish can see in the dark and have eye shine but one out reflects the other. My question is...is she blind? Its not cloudy at all, and she's in perfect health. My water is fine ph 6.8 ammonia and nitrite are zero, and the nitrate is around 30 ppm. I change 75% of my water every 2 weeks. Had these 4 fish for over 3 years in the tank together. Anyone know exactly what's up with her eye? MM?
