  1. Tried to introduced 10 of 30 Cherry Barbs to my established 90 gallon community tank with 2 large angelfish, 20 black neons, 15 X-ray tetras, 10 peppered Cory Cats, and several BN plecos... 

    My thought was with 10 they would school together and hold their own.  

    What really happened was there weren’t enough of them and they scattered as soon as they hit the tank... I can only assume since I feed a lot of red food (Xterme Krill and Hikari Vibra Bites) and their size the Angels started going after them one at a time and even the larger tetras did as well...

    The lesson is to only introduce bigger community fish and in larger schools as the Angels and the Tank are so big...

  2. Here is a question for the pros...

    what is the purpose of the blue only light on my led lights for my tanks?  They all have them but not sure when or why to use them... planted 90 gallon community tank with 4 black mollies, 20 black neon tetras, 2 black angels, 10 peppered cory’s, 2 black spotted bristlenose plecos + fry... 

    should I ever use the blue light or no?

  3. Will be out of town for 6 days.  I have a 30 gallon community tank with about 18 fish (neons, guppies, pelcos, etc..)

    I don’t want to use a feeder block, what do y’all think a great automatic feeder option is? 
     

    Thoughts on the Ani Mate Fish Feeder? 

  4. Have a pre filter sponge on my HOB, the last fry have been in the tank for about 3 weeks and 2 are left probably because of my gourami... I’m thinking of putting her in a breeder box to let the fry drop and not get eaten... I don’t want to put her in there that long.. is she close to giving birth? 

  5. Ok so we had fry and they are starting to look orange after a few weeks... now this platy looks pregnant and I’m assuming the black dots are eyes and her belly is getting square... is she pregnant and how long until she lets them out? Also fun fact I’ve had these guys for 3 months and honestly they both look like females.... life finds a way

  6. Hey Nerms,

    Scored (2) 90 gallon brand new tanks off Facebook marketplace...  Need to build them now but starting with one

    Look for the best shopping list through Aquarium Co-Op... Here is what i got so far for the first tank

    2x usb air pumps

    2x large sponge filters

    2x no clog air stones

    25ft tubing

    Filter Media

    Pre-filter sponges

    3x plant holders

    2x amazon sward

    1x scarlet temple

    1x easy root tabs

    Question, would yall change anything above? am I missing anything?

    I am going to need other items I cant get from the Co-Op like substrate (Black gravel), going with two HOB filters that honestly I will probably hot rod( I don't want a canister filter), and I have lights already.  Have chemicals but thinking I might order the fritz products to help start...thoughts?

     

     

     

     

     

  7. Scored on Facebook two brand new 90 gallon tanks.  I plan on heavy stocking community on one and an African Cichlids in the other.  Community tank will be planted and Cichlids hardscape.  Will be using the XL sponge filters with usb nano pumps, 2 per tank.  My question is would you go with two aquaclear 30-50 gallon filters or one aquaclear 110 filter??  Or would each tank be different??
