I don't know how I wrote 60 gallons, it's a 100 gallon tank with 90 gallons of filtration...

After some serious thought and research I've decided my centerpiece fish will be a striped Peacock Eel instead of a Ropefish. I still feel as though my tank may be over stocked. I have 90 gallons of filtration on my 60 gallon tank, along with a water pump and an air pump to be equipped with a bubble ...

Sooo it looks like I will be adding: 1 Ropefish 3-4 Angelfish 1 Ctenopoma (Leopard bush) and either 3 bright Rainbowfish( unsure which type) oooorrr a pair of Killifish?? What's everyone's thoughts? The complete list would be: 1 BGK 1 Tiger Barb 1 Pictus 1 Kennyi, 1 Lab cichlid 2 Gouramis 1 Ropefish ...

Alright so I have a better stocking list now of the 100 gallon community. Not getting rid of any fish, cichlid or gouramis. I know they would prefer different parameters but I've had both cichlids in the gourami tank for over a month now with absolutely no problems. They've adjusted to the water ...

So I have my 100 gallon aquarium set up and has been cycling for 4 weeks now with all water parameters measuring where they need to be. I have added some Dwarf Rainbowfish from my 50 gallon to the 100 gallon yesterday and will cycle for 2 weeks with those. After fully cycled and if the Dwarf ...

Hi there, after a ton of research I've decided against the Killifish, they are $30 out here for a single fish anyways(way too expensive) I have a much better stocking list now but still need suggestions for some middle-upper schooling fish to add colour and activity. 1 Black Ghost Knifefish 1 ...

Yeah I really, really love the way the Ropefish looks but it will just take up so much space for one fish. My partner is absolutely set on a Knifefish, so I will have to get one. I figured it'd be better to have 3 Dojo Loaches, 1 Knifefish. So the Rams are definitely staying, same with the Gourami ...

So I am getting a 100 gallon tank through an aquarist friend. I know I will have a sand substrate, with sturdy Anubis-like plants, quite a few caves. I want this tank to be a good mixture of colourful, community fish and interesting catfish and loaches for the bottom of the tank. I have a good idea ...

Okay dumb question....I do use carbon(on the suggestion of my LFS)....so what is "biomedia" that I should be using instead??

To be honest, I believe the cloudiness is my own fault. I was re-arranging my tank a few days ago and I had Java moss glued to my driftwood, well not thinking clearly I removed the entire piece of driftwood from the tank as I could not catch my Sun catfish...I left the driftwood out for 20 minutes ...

Update for my tank contents: 4 Kuhli loaches, 2 Lg pepper Corydoras, 2 Pictus catfish, 1 Kribensis, 3 Dwarf Gourami females, 1 Dwarf cross Neon Blue Gourami, 1 Dwarf Fire Gourami, 1 Opaline cross Blue Dot Gourami(4" full grown already)...I re-homed the Sun catfish recently and acquired the crossed ...

I totally missed Richard's question. I have to confirm the measurements but it's 36"x18"x19".

Okay so I wasn't able to get on here for awhile as my crap computer crashed. Sooooo, I finally found someone to take my Sun catfish and I traded him for a 4" Opaline cross Blue Dot Gourami(1 year old), he's very beautiful and healthy....but my problem is I read numerous times that Gouramis will dull ...

So I now have 2 Pictus catfish, 2 male Dwarf Gouramis, 3 female Dwarf Gouramis, a Kribensis(he's getting along well with everyone), 4 Kuhli loaches, 2 Lg Pepper Corydoras. I absolutely love my Gouramis, really wish I could put a Powder Blue in there, my LFS has some really vibrant ones :( But, after ...

Hmph, now I'm reading that the Killifish in general should be in a species tank without things like Gouramis :( guppies(DUH), and other colourful fish as they are holy terrors and like to nip fins hard and kill other fish. Damn, I really liked them too, but they are definitely not community fish and ...

So a reserved estimate would show that I have around 22'' of fish in my tank once my Pictus cats and my Kuhli loaches are full grown. (I did combine their inches and -2 as they are SO skinny and I highly doubt they will get large as they are over 6 months old) So I figure that I am definitely going ...

UPDATE: So my 50 gallon tank now contains 2 Pictus Catfish, 2 Dwarf Gouramis, 2 Large Pepper Corydoras, and a small Pleco(grows to 3''-4''). I am planning on adding 1 or 2 German Rams and probably 4 Dwarf Rainbowfish(1 male, 3 females). Is my tank fully stocked now? I would love to get 3 Kuhli ...

So I am taking it that no one has any other suggestions besides a Gourami, Rasbora Tetra and Giant Danios? I still don't know how many other fish I can put in the tank with 2-3 Pictus catfish....and Birchir..I don't feel like arguing about one comment I made beforehand...so I will just look at other ...

I never put anyone down, I was being blunt. I didn't want to have a huge back and forth conversation on Pictus catfish care, as I stated I have read and re-read the information on this site and many others. I do understand they like to be in bigger groups. I was and still am asking for suggestions ...

Anyone at all have good suggestions? Been reading all the other Pictus catfish posts and really I am only seeing the same 2 suggestions over and over and then big long conversations about catfish care.....I just need more then 2 fish suggestions for my tank! Jack dempsey cichlid? Blue Ram? Blue ...

Umm, I am looking for tank mate suggestions not a crash course on Pictus catfish. Trust me I have read everything this site has to say and many others have to say about the Pictus catfish. If you must know, I will be upgrading the tank and adding more Pictus later on...right now, I am looking for ...

Hi there, I was given the wrong info on the Sun catfish, was told a 6" maximum, I now know it's much larger then that. In all reality if the Sun gets bigger then 6" he will go back to fish store and I will trade for something else. I am getting 1 more Pictus catfish as I also didn't know they get ...

I have a new 50 gallon tank I am stocking with fish. I already have a baby Pictus Catfish(Columbian variety), baby Sun catfish and 2 full grown Tiger Barbs(outgrew the 20 gallon). I am wondering what other fish I can put in my tank, hoping for 3-4 inch ones and something kind of colourful and active ...
