Our go to fish store in the Cleveland area is Blue Fish Aquariums on Mayfield Road near Lyndhurst! They have very friendly employees and a great fish selection in salt and freshwater. They have a good variety of supplies, decorations, and plants as well!

We use the Ziss Bio Bubble filter from Aquarium Coop in our 29gal planted tank, which is similar to what you are interested in. It does a good job of adding air and some filtration. I would ideally like to add a sponge filter but running on this, the tank does just fine!
-
That is a great set up! Thank you so much for the detailed response of how to do it! Once my next hatch is ready, this is what I am going to do! I do not have micron food but I do have some first bites, would that be okay?
-
this may be a silly question but... when you harvest the BBS by having them gather to a light source and then drain them, there is always some that are still floating around. I feel bad sending them down the drain, is there a way to keep them alive to feed later or grow into adults?

our zen tank has cardinal tetras and endler guppies. very peaceful and nice to watch. waiting to get a pea puffer or two in there. We will be removing the guppies once we get the puffer
-
what are your parameters? what chemicals did you put in the tank? Im sorry to hear your fry didn't make it! It's so hard to see the little babies struggle!
-
Hi! it is so fun to have live bearers! It's so great to wake up and see more babies and watch them grow! Enjoy! 🙂

Thank you for the advice! Would you start with 1 TBSP per gallon?

We have had this betta (Cinnabar) for about a month now. 6 days ago we noticed his eye was cloudy and swollen. We immediately moved him to a hospital tank from the community tank (with mollies and Glow tetras). We have been treating with maracyn for 5 days now (recommended directions) and I has not improved or declined. Should we continue the treatment or see if medicating with salt would work better? the tank parameters are GH- 100, KH-120, pH-7.1, and NO2 and NO3- 0, water temperature- 78F. This is the first time we have experienced this and would appreciate any advice! Thanks!!

This looks so good! what kind of paper did you use? how do you attach it to the back of the aquarium? I hate trying to apply those sticky ones!
-
I will give these a try! How do you keep other fish from eating them so they can get a chance? I have never seen them get interested during a feeding time

does anyone have a recommendation for 2 Butterfly Hillstream Loaches? We bought Hikari Algea Wafers for them and they are not interested. We tried hiding it from the other fish (mollies and glow tetras) and they didn't eat it. Im just afraid tank algae is not enough. One of them is hiding in the same place and rarely moves from that spot, I was thinking maybe he isn't feeling well from not eating? They are both tiny (1-1.5inches) We feed out other fish: Extreme Krill Flakes, TetraMin Tropical Granules, New Life Spectrum Thera-A, Hikari Micro Pellets and BBS.

Oh that's awesome!!! we were looking for a fish club! I have visited Aquatica-- so awesome!! we got some neat endler guppies and cardinal tetras there! We visit Blue Fish in lyndhurst a lot, but love to visit other stores! thank you for your advice!!
-
Thank you so much! I will definitely be checking these out soon!
-
im also in the Cleveland area and newer to the hobby, what fish stores do you recommend?
-
This is Cinnabar. I thought I had a picture after he was settled into his tank!
-
The only other fish in the tank are 2 mollies. the tetras seem to be more of the tank bosses. The 4 tetras are very happy currently, but listening to Cory he recommends 5 at least. I think maybe only buying 1 is what stressed this fish out enough. I will do my research on black skirt tetras too. Thank you for your insight and help!
-
I just wonder how it made it so far with eating to grow up and now it almost acts like it doesn't know how. Thank you so much for your advice though. Do you think the other 4 tetras will be happy enough in a small group?

We Got 2 glow tetras about 2 months ago and have slowly been adding to the school. We bought 3 more a month after the first two. They were blue, green, and purple. While in the quarantine tank, the purple one was being very shy and not eating. Never saw her eat for a week. The purple tetra only survived one week. The other two made it into our main tank. They are doing well, so we bought another purple tetra. This tetra is doing the same thing. We quarantined with the med trio and moved her to the main tank after 3 days thinking she was scared being alone. In the main tank she doesn’t school with the other 4 tetras and still won’t eat. We have tried live brine shrimp, thera A food, nano pellets and freeze dried brine shrimp. Any suggestions on getting her to eat and get back to normal?
-
I think that was just the picture. He is swimming around and acting normal and eating. Maybe treat again in 2 weeks with paracleanse? We are doing water changes frequently because we treated with salt for ich. gh-60 kh-80 ph-7.5 no2/no3- around zero water temp- 76 no live plants (yet) but we have an airstone and bio bubble filter
-
Thank you for your help! This is my first aquarium so i have a lot of questions! I was able to get a picture of it since it has some clear parts in it today. Is this still possibly internal parasites? Or what else could be causing this? We did feed fresh brine shrimp last night.

My molly fish had white stringy poop and I treated the entire tank with Fritz Paracleanse. I just finished a week long treatment and now the Molly has green normal consistency poop. We feed them Thera A food and freeze dried brine shrimp occasionally. There is brown diatom algae that they eat in the tank as well. What is causing the poop to be green? Should I be concerned? Is it from the medication? The Molly is in a 29 gallon tank with 1 other Molly and 5 glow tetras.
