Ideas For Aquarium Stand Made From Chip Board?

I recently bought a stand and it is made from 4X4′s and covered with chip board (Doors and sides) to support a 55 gallon tank.
Any ideas what I could do to cover the chip board to make it look very nice? …I do NOT want to paint it because painting chip board just looks like crap.
Thank you.

Q&A: My new black moor fish is lying on its side near the bottom, breathing, but hardly moving. What’s wrong?

Question by indipina: My new black moor fish is lying on its side near the bottom, breathing, but hardly moving. What’s wrong?
I bought a five gallon tank last week (with filter, no heater) & “cycled” the tank…put in some stress-zyme, stress-coat, 1 tsp of aquarium salt & a pinch of fish flakes. I just bought him yesterday along with another black moor. The other one is doing fine…he’s eating & pooping well. Any idea what’s wrong with the other one & how I can help fix the problem? Much appreciated!

sounds like hes got fin rot. keep an eye on the other one. you should have let your tank sit for 28 days before adding to it.it might have also eaten too much they can die from this

10 Gallon Fish Tank Setup?

Ok so i’m thinking about upgrading to a 10 gallon aquarium and i’m wondering if i have all the supplies that i need besides the tank and some gravel. I currently have a 2 gallon tank with a couple guppies and a 1 gallon bowl with some small feeder guppies in it (and yes i know they are too small, i get that evry time i ask a question similar to this…) Anyways all of the suppies that i have are listed below:
Undergravel filter fit for about a 2 or 3 gallon tank w/ air pump
elite mini a-130 filter ok for 5-6 gallon tank
air pump fit for a 10 gallon tank
small air stone
small “cave” (in the shape of a shark)
2 fake plants: one very small and the other decent sized (6 or seven inches tall)
A fake coral type thing of decor
aqua safe
extra tubing
aquarium salt
Do i have everything that i need besides the tank, gravel, and a hood?
Also, can i put my bigger guppies in with the feeder guppies or not?
Thanks for the help.

My Mum Don’t Feed Me Properly:/?

well I’m still here living and I know there’s starving African kids who are in more need than me, But look I’m living in the UK and we have standards we need to meet otherwise she’d be classed as an unfit mother, mothers in africa can’t help it, she can?! she’s spend alot on her catalogue’s and her and my step dad earn well over 35k between them, they seem to put it into holidays and other things they go to the maldives once a year, well for starters I never get the necessities I all ways seem to get junk which I dont want, theres never bread or milk on the house, and when there is its my step dads little pint of it which is for his tea, I don’t get one drop I’m not allowed it she says because I drink too much of it? :S when I know I don’t! theres never bread, fruit, anything proper and basic like I’d have to cook myself a horrible smart price curry microwave curry which I hate! I’m sick of it, for the last 5 days the cupboards have been empty, the freezer contains about 30 fish fingers and today I’ve woken up had a glass of water and 5 fish fingers for breakfast/lunch, then didn’t eat again until 8pm because I was hoping my mum would come home with some food as she’s been out the house since 9am…then I ate another 7 fish fingers..she still isnt home and her phones switched off, and I’m expecting to wake up having to cook a microwave meal for breakfast, I wouldnt mind some cereal or toast or something! like a normal person in this country would have? I live in a council house but she has no love for me what so ever. I’ve tryed explaining this but she never lets me finish by turning the table on me:S arghhhh! seems like I’m not getting any nutrients or whatever inside me? is this some sort of neglect because it bloody seems it!

How Do I Clean A Fish Decoration Without Using Soap?

I have a ship that has some green discoloration on the cloth part which it seems to be algae. I want to clean it because it may be poisonous to my betta fish and I can’t use soap because it is recommended not to soap inside the tank. It may leak soap residue into to the water and harm the fish.
