https://amzn.to/2nDoAcn - Florida Gar are considered monster fish and need serious filtration. Get yourself a Sunsun Canister Filter OR maybe two of them. They are great budget line filters. Here is a link:

Question so I adopted some yellow labs. I have a over stocked 55 gal. I had about 12-15 fish in it. But all the sudden these labs started breeding so I just hopped mature take its course and it never and not I have probably close to 100 yellow labs talking over my tank. I posted them online for free locally and none one wants them. I don’t know what to do and I don’t want to up grade my tank because I can’t afford it. But they took over and now all you see is yellow. Like what can I do? I am in northern Alberta. We don’t have a local store that will take them either.
Do you have lots of plants? If so I just hover the gravel vac just above or resting on top of it gently using a bucket and not a python. Or I remove the vac and just used the tube. Once a month After a vac I would use a fork and rake any part of my tank that is not planted.
do you have corydoras or loaches. Anything to mess up your sand? Depending on size you can also get a wavemaker and put in pointing towards your substrate in such an angle that it pushes debris towards intake. I leave it on all the time in one tank. In my smaller one I turn it on after feeding for 30 minutes. I just bought this 30 Gallon to give my daughter a bigger tank, she currently has a 10 gallon. Right now she has 4 guppies, 3 other small fish, 2 baby bettas, 1 snail and a pleco. Can she have anymore fish once i get this 30 Gallon going?
Help! Why isn’t my Eleocharis parvula and wisteria taking? I’ve had them since the 11th. All of my wisteria started melting pretty much right away so I pulled the one good piece out and I’ve been letting it float in hopes that it will sprout roots then I can replant it but it’s still melting. What about the parvula? It was doing really well and I just noticed it looking like this today. Fluval stratum and I dose weekly with Thrive.
Well ichx is in please let it help this ich, temps and salts didnt and so far been lucky only lost 2 fish prior treatment they didnt even show signs, and then lost 1 during treatment but was real bad off. One tank seemed clear but seen possible dot so still continung treatmemt other hit hard fast so hope can save before anymore are lost and so far seems my other two tanks are still clear but monitoring closely dang LFS with sick fish whats bad when get money and find a deal I will have a quarantine tank moving forward.
Dealing with ich also. I went and got a 10g tank with light,filter,and heater for 60$. But saw some with cheaper filters for 35$. Will quarantine sick fish and new Fish in there from now on. Yeah I've got 2 female convicts in my 75 and it really wasn't fair to the other fish. They'd claim half the tank and beat the hell out of anyone that crossed over. I got sick of as all the nipped fins and such. He's a great looking fish though and i'm glad he's doing well in there.
And it begins... my journey to a planted aquarium. I’m having to do this in stages, so I’ve cycled the tank (29 gallon) and moved my Betta back out of my busy 90 gallon, and have added 4 Cory’s. The rock looking thing is a resin piece I had previously. I’ll keep it and see how it works out.
My next purchase at the end of the week will be the light strip (currently just have an LED desk lamp on it) and then I’ll start, hopefully, adding plants the next week. There are no plantings in it yet. The green you see is reflection from old tank backing... I hate seeing a wall through the back glass. I’ll decide later what I want back there. And the resin piece has a few little artificial plants on it. Which I’m ok with. So... suggestions on plants? This will be a low tech tank, so nothing requiring CO2 injection...
Looking for advice for my 7yr olds 10 gal tank. He recently lost his betta fish after almost 3 yrs and is looking at something with a bit more movement. Right now we've narrowed it down to platys or guppies and he keeps asking for some kind of bottom dweller (dwarf cories maybe??) but I do not want to overstock the tank, and he understands to a point. Any input as far as how many fish of those types, if possible I can put in there would he helpful. Please be kind, he will be reading these replies with me. He also has his mind set on either guppies or platy and I already know about how prolific platies are with breeding.
My 7 year old daughter has a 10 gallon tank as well. We have 4 guppies, 1 snail, 2 baby female bettas and 3 other small fish i really don't remember what they are called but her tank is pretty active. I'll take a video to share.
