55 gallon aquarium plants and fish?

By on Tuesday, February 16th, 2010 | 4 Comments

I’m planning on buying a 55 gallon tank next weekend. It’s going to have live plants and driftwood. I am going to get Java fern, Java moss, Anubias, Anacharis, and Wisteria. If I used all those plant types, about how many of each should I get to have a moderately planted aquarium?

I know for sure that I am going to have 3-4 catfish and would love some angelfish. How would you suggest to stock the rest of the tank? Obviously I am going to have a tropical aquarium and would prefer smaller fish versus larger fish.

Help with sick Goldfish & Velvet?

By on Tuesday, February 16th, 2010 | 2 Comments

I have 2, 3 year old goldfish, one is 6″ & other 3″ they live in a 5 gallon aquarium with carbon filter. Tank set up for 3 years, 25% – 50% water changes with gravel vacuum every 2 wks. Little one started getting sick off & on about 3 months ago. Treated once for fungus & another time for parasitic infestation. Began after I started buying live plants from PetSmart for them to eat. They LOVE it.
Now both fish have developed sickness, believe its Velvet. Tank & fish are completely covered with fuzzy white film & tiny white specks. Blood streaked tail fins, blotches of red all over their body, lethargic, but still eat & at times dart all over. PH is 7.2.
Used coppersafe, 50% vacuum change after day 2, added more coppersafe, Stresscoat & water conditioner Also treated for fungus & parasitic. After 6 days & no carbon filter, still very sick.
Did complete water change, no gravel, & fish are sitting in a bucket while I wait for the water to cycle. We are on a well. What do I do next?

Cricket breeding/raising?

By on Tuesday, February 16th, 2010 | 1 Comment

I want to start a “cricket farm” in a regular 20 gallon aquarium with mesh top. obviously, I just want the basics. right now, I buy crickets. I feed them fluker orange cube, keep them in a small plastic reptile tank with egg cartons and usually the same substrate I use for my lizards (currently ground eng walnut shells).
what do I need to add/change what I am doing now so I can have a long time supply of crickets?

THANKS

Can you fix an aquarium filter that stopped working?

By on Tuesday, February 16th, 2010 | 2 Comments

I have a 10 gallon Whisper 2-10i aquarium filter. I unplugged because I was moving the tank. I plugged back in and it just suddenly stopped working (it wont fire up or make any noises). I plugged something else into that same outlet and it worked so it’s not the outlet. I tried replacing the cartridge and that didnt work either. Is it fixable? I don’t want to go out and spend $24.99 on a new one. Thanks for your help.
