Aquarium owners please enter

I perfer sand but gravel is a good start. put some danios in there to start the biological filtration.









$300 for a 45gal tank??? :smh:

:) I had money to burn, and I did not want to spend it at the casino.. besides its great corner piece in the game room.
 
Just coped a 75g aquarium complete with stand, canopy and t5 lights for $225 on Craigslist. Guy I bought it from needed to make room for his new 220g tank. Not sure yet if im going fresh or salt yet but im leaning toward a planted freshwater setup.
 
How often do you clean your tank? I'm running a 20gal w/ 5 neon tetra and 2 zebra danios for a week now

UPDATE: 5 neon tetra and 1 Zebra danio. The other danio either got eaten or sucked into the filter. No where to be found :smh:
 
anyone have clown loaches?
do they really need to be kept in a shoal of 5 or more?



I've had a few of them most I had at once were 2. I can't seem to keep them alive longer than a yr. Very funny fish to watch when you have more than one.

Preciate it, i want to do a ling tank,but don't have the room,so i went tall instead,maybe when i get these deadbeat tenants out my basement ...
 
Noice. I've kinda lost interest in my fish. I have 2 75gals and a 40gal. plus other empty tanks. I could've hooked you up with a 55gal setup with blue sand all you need is the fish.
 
I have a new setup myself,55gal freshwater soon to be a mbuna tank.Been cycling for almost a month and in October I'll add some fish,not sure what with what

Had two small pleco's and they killed two of my loaches and eventually died themselves.

I have no patients and no one told me ITS A MUST with a SW setup:angry::angry::angry::angry::angry:
 
thanx...

was lookin' into startin' my own saltwater tank...

was jus watchin' some videos...on youtube...all last week...
 
had to drain all the water out my tank in order to move it so i could have new carpet put in. damn fish died when i had to refill it and set it back up. thinking about switching up and doing something different this time. Prolly gonna get a couple Oscars, Bala Sharks, and get a common snapping turtle. This will be my first time trying a snapper, but a friend of mine has one in his tank.....shit looks nice.

Man my mom always kept gold fish, till the day my dad came home drunk and squeezed one and his fuckin eye popped out. He lived but his eyes were big.

She didn't want a tank after that. Later we got her a set up but then her health got bad and the fish died.

We always had pets growin up, dogs, cats, birds and fish. My dad a straight hoe ass hater on them.

I only keep dogs now, but I want a bird.

I may give a tank a try.
 
this is my tank about two weeks ago, right before all the fish died.
right now i have nothing in it.....:(

both of my turtles died after about 3 weeks
i dont know why. just came home one day and they were dead.
 
Did you test you water in the tank?

yeah,....i tested the ph, temp, all that.
the only thing i had to change was their diet, because they just would not eat
the turtle food that was purchased at Petsmart. so i switched up and started feeding
them red wrigglers instead....and they ate those voraciously. i think i'll wait on getting another one.
right now i just have 4 oscars in it and a plecostomus in it.
