Open Question: How to get fish off of live food?

I bought 3 juvinile peacock bass from my local fish store. They are in a 55 gallon alone right now. I have had them for about 3 weeks now and all they eat is live feeder guppies. How do I get them to eat frozen or dry food? (yes people I have a big enough tank for them it's a 500 gallon acrylic tank). more

Open Question: My aquarium customization is working. Feedback?

My girlfriend and I posted a question earlier about this idea i had. Check out the question before giving feed back. http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AvJA94glp.RVSrklvkaXbe4jzKIX;_ylv=3?qid=20100607224335AAt4fnw We ran to home depot/lowes and picked up a few things. We picked up plastic trim that was L shaped and used them as brackets. (Someone suggested it in my last question) We found aquarium safe silicone (100% silicone, no mold/mildew resistant chemicals added) and we glued the brackets in place. It has dried for 3-4 hours and its not going ANYWHERE! I put all of my weight into my arm and pushed on one of the brackets and it wont budge. We then got a 8''x10'' sheet of acrylic and placed it in the brackets. It's completely solid. Here are some pictures of it. NOTE that it is not finished., We just filled it up for the pictures and to see how level we made it. We have the filter and bubble stone all figured out. Any cool things i could throw in there to really bring out its appearance. We want more of a natural look and not with the cheap bright plastic chests and stuff. There is about 6.5g of water in the tank space so we are planning on getting 3-4 red clawed crabs, a few platys or tetras, and some corys. http://tinypic.com/r/3483uhw/6 http://tinypic.com/r/2lnzift/6 Sorry for bad lighting =\The two picture links at the bottom should work =\ more

Voting Question: Aquarium lighting for a 40 gallon?

I ordered a 40 gallon acrylic tank which will be used for a tropical planted community tank. At this moment, I do not have a clue on the lighting systems for aquarium since I am totally new to this. The dimension of the tank is 36" x 15" x 16" as in the specification. I bought two packs of total 10 seeds of aquarium plants. One package listed - Hybird Aponogeton Bulbs (Hey, now I start thinking maybe this "Hybird Aponogeton Bulb" is one same plant? I thought it was 3 different types at first) The other one - Nymphaea Lilly Bulbs I also plan to buy - Java Fern x2 Wisteria x2 Water Sprite x2 Hornwort The aquarium tank specification said - include a 24" UL listed fluorescent light fixture (bulb not included) Some reviews said the tank I ordered will come with a broken cover. So my questions would be, what do I do with the lighting system? (as for I have no clue what to buy, or even how the lighting system will fit with the hood/cover) Direct links to what I need to buy please. (just a bulb? I hope!) And I need to know if the lighting system itself is a hood or it fits into the hood lol...since I saw all the expensive (in the hundreds of dollars) lighting system looks like a hood/cover themselves. Since I am totally new to this, please understand my confusion. Please keep the cost low while keep the sufficient lighting for both the plants growth and overall aquarium appearance purposes. I already spent way more than I should and I haven't even ordered any fish yet. :)The tank I ordered is a Seaclear 40 gallon tank http://www.petsmart.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2753079 more

Hey Yahoo Answers! I currently have a 10 gallon acrylic aquarium with two brackish puffers in the tank. It is a very planted aquarium with lots of space. However, I placed a "red lobster" (regular crawfish) in the tank, and now the puffers are picking on the crawfish and visa versa.

Resolved Question: Fish tank: Do i get a new tank or swap my fish?

I have a 'Baby Bio Ord' which i think hold 15 ltrs of water anf i have 2 fantail goldfish - 1 which is no biger than a small childs fist and the other appears to be slightly bigger. I also have 1 plecostomus (pleccy/catfish) I woke up this morning to find a tank full of eggs for the first time having had all three fish for nearly two years. Recently my partner and i figured we may need a bigger fish tank - but we don't have the room! hence why we bought the bio orb - its basically an acrylic stylish bowl. We've talked about giving them away and having small fish --- which seem pointless to look at, we talked about getting a new tank ---but can't afford it also we dont really have the space. Plus, since having this orb we're amazed at how easy it is to clean. Other tanks i had in the past as a child you'd have to scoop out the gravel etc. But this one is so easy!! I feel terrible for even thinking of giving them to my nan who has a pond or seeing if the pet shop will do a swap..especially as they have surprised me with eggs today. Fact is we still like having fish! What do we do? We're worried they're getting too big.I bought the orb from pets world then about 1-2 weeks after setting it up the guy said to come back to get fish.... he then sold me ...''''the none fish expect'''' 2 fan tailed gold fish. As for the pleccy I grew up with my dad having them in the house. We had a hot and cold tank - and had pleccy's in both, not said it is ok or that i'm right but they sem to do ok in either - or did for us. The guy in the pet store again didnt seem to stress any problems to us. He helps keep the tank clean. more

Resolved Question: What fish tank should I buy as a present for my husband who used to keep tropical fish?

It's my husband's 30th birthday next month and I hope to buy him an aquarium as he used to keep tropical fish tank, but hasn't for the last few years I know he'd like to start back up again. This way he can get the tank on his birthday and start cycling it as I would't know where to start. My question is, what tank should I get? I know he wouldn't expect a tank like his previous one (a metre long monster!) so I need something small and not cheap looking that will house some guppies (male/female) neon tetras and a cat fish so definitely not a big tank, just good quality. I know the likes of the fluval edge (which I really like) aren't great as they're too small, so what size would I need to keep the fish I know he'd like? I've been to a few independent stores, and petsathome etc, and they all seem to have quite similar tanks - some do look quite plastic-y and I don't like the biorbs because of the acrylic in them. Thank you for your advice! more

Resolved Question: Is it unhealthy for a Betta to flare up continually?

I just got him 2 weeks ago. He's in a 10 gallon tank with a heater,filter etc. But he seems to be flaring up all the time. Very rarely can I catch him fins relaxed. There's nothing around his tank that he should feel threatened by/that he has to threaten. He's the only fish in the tank(as he's very aggressive one) so I'm confused. Is he just seeing his reflection in the tank(it's not glass but that acrylic stuff I guess you call it). His tank is also an oval shape. And he'll even flare up at me(in the store this was the reason I picked him). I was just wondering if it's bad for him to flare up so much? What can I do to try and stop him from doing it so much?I haven't done anything to make him mad(that I know of anyway). I add Betta drops and I don't change his water(partially) but once a week. He's in a planted tank (real and fake) along with rocks/gravel,a little house for him to swim in and a bridge for him to swim under,over and rest on. more

Resolved Question: Can you help me get out of a seriously messed up tank with sick fish?

Ok, so let's start with the basics. I have an acrylic 12 gallon tank with a cory catfish, dalmation molly, and a sword tail. I've had the tank since August but the molly and sword tail have only been with me since late December. About a week ago I realized my tank had ick, and that it attacked my sword tail. Just while I was treating it though, I also realized these worm things hanging in it's rear end. Only now did I find out what that meant, he had Camillanus (the dreaded worm). And now he's wasting away because I don't know what to do and he won't eat a thing. My dalmation also has some issues. He has some fungus on his mouth and red velvet (all happening within the last week). My catfish hasn't shown signs of anything but you never know what could happen. So far I'm doing parasite meds for red velvet, ick, and parasites. But I'm not sure it's working. :( Help?! more

Resolved Question: Is my 72 gallon bow front aquarium tempered glass?

I got a 72 gallon bow front aquarium off craigslist, it is scratched but i will buy a glass scratch remover. and i want to install a over flow/ sump returns but there are a few set backs... i know the tank was built on May, 1998 as the stand has a stamp that said so and the stand went together with the tank. It is a 4' Long, 22" high, 18" deep bow front aquarium, it is glass not acrylic.I asked the lady is she knew the manufacturer she bought it from, but she said it was loo long ago and couldn't remember. There is a sicker on the bottom of the tank that says this... "THIS BOTTOM IS TEMPERED GLASS FOR STRENGTH AND RELIABILITY DO NOT DRILL" Now i know the bottom is tempered, but are the sides? Well i need to know if the back is tempered glass, because i want to drill it and add a overflow, and two returns. When i hit the glass with my hand, the bottom and the back sound different. The tempered glass is a deeper sound, and the back "not sure" glass is a higher sound. Also the glass looks just shy of about 1/4" thick, can i still drill it with a diamond drill bit? Thanks in advance.UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE!!! I found a site online and it said you could check if glass is tempered with an LCD screen. Tempered glass will make the screen appear to have lines, regular glass wont. well the bottom had lines, the front bow front had lines, and the back and sides did not have any lines, a nice gray screen. that's it. So this is getting ma a little more exited. What do you think. more

Resolved Question: Bio Balls, Green Plastic Toy Soldiers, or Plastic Bath Scrubbies for Wet Dry Filter Media?

I just bought a used 75G acrylic tank with a built in wet/dry system, but it didn't come with anything but the tank! I know wet/dry provides great filtration. I am doing a planted freshwater tank and I also know I should add a mechanical filter to pull out debris and decaying plant material, polish, etc,... but what do I put in all those mysterious chambers in this wet/dry system? I assume some sort of sponge material should go someplace, then I need what? Bio balls? I heard green plastic toy soldiers work well, but I think that must be just a charming aquaria myth. The man I bought the tank from said he just used plastic bath scrubbies from the dollar store. I am no stranger to aquaria. I have had tanks for over 30 years. But this is my first time at bat with wet/dry and it is on a tank with some crazy compartments on the back and it came with no instructions. Once I buy a pump and watch it go I'm sure I will figure it out. But I am wondering what media works best for you? And if you have any leads on instructions for a 75 g with a built in w/d filter, please hit me up. I have looked. I came up with squat. Thank you for your time. more
