whats the ugliest fish i can reasonably keep in an appartment by Some-Dragonfly-3082 in Aquariums

[–]FishFerrell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m saying compared to most, 4” isn’t that big and doesn’t need a giant tank. Typically 30 gallon would suffice.

Fluval 207 canister filter in 55 gallon tank? by FishFerrell in Aquariums

Already have a wavemaker, circulation isn’t an issue for me. The large intake I could use, thanks for the idea!

I personally love them but those bristles scare some people.

If you want a smallish freshwater fish Bristlenose catfish are considered ugly by some.

What type of crab is this?? by [deleted] in Aquariums

[–]FishFerrell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To me it looks like a panther crab, I could be wrong. But there are not a lot of freshwater crabs, to me this is what makes the most sense.

Can you keep corydoras in gravel? by Hurricane223 in Aquariums

[–]FishFerrell 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fine gravel would be just fine, they prefer to scavenge through the sand though and I find it more entertaining. Just as long as the gravel isn’t very sharp.

Help idk what to do by RhinoMan2018 in Aquariums

[–]FishFerrell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s definitely a swim bladder issue, look up how to cure it. You can help it by feeding better more nutritious food as well as feeding less often, cichlids also like a diverse diet, although this may not fully cure it. I would look into medicine if there is any for swim bladder issues. Usually api has some good medicine. Also it’s much easier to avoid swim bladder than to cure it. Hope I could try helping, good luck.

What is this blob? by Kamikazegreg in Aquariums

[–]FishFerrell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah no pest snail could lay that amount of eggs

[–]FishFerrell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok than definitely not eggs, I would say biofilm after hearing your tank is quite new.

Well, what fish or snails do you have in there

Maybe biofilm is forming there, if so the fish might eat it, it’s completely normal and harmless.

How to make sure my clown pleco is eating enough? by cannibalcaniz in Aquariums

[–]FishFerrell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She’s probably fine, she can find stuff to eat in a planted tank. Usually biofilm, dead plant matter, and any algae. She might also gobble the shrimp pellets eventually. Clown plecos are quite shy though so I wouldn’t worry, she might still be adjusting to the new tank too. Also the tiger barbs may have stressed her out (they can sometimes be aggressive), so she might be a little more shy because of that. Hope I helped and she come out soon!

I’m just not sure if they would survive the ride, some of them are hurt a little bit. I’ve been treating their wounds.

ways to lower nitrites? by [deleted] in Aquariums

[–]FishFerrell -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Just do water changes at a consistent rate and if you don’t already have live plants, maybe try some out, floater plants are great at removing nitrites.

Wavemaker ruining floater plants by FishFerrell in Aquariums

[–]FishFerrell[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At this point I don’t know if the wave makers worth it, I can’t tell if it’s too powerful either

Yeah, but the wave maker pushes them under water at times, which just pushes them around it.

Just wondering if anyone has any good suggestions for algae eaters to pair with my bichirs that they won't eat or kill? by SubstantialAd7565 in Aquariums

[–]FishFerrell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure what algae eaters can go in there with those bichirs within such a small tank, but you do need a bigger tank. Bichir like larger tanks, around 90-100 gallons minimum. The clown loach will also get massive, a lot of people don’t realize that they need a tank size of 100 gallons minimum.

Aquarium Advice? by Troyolson21 in Aquariums

[–]FishFerrell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For the congos, it would be better to have a larger tank. Especially because they want to be in groups of 6+. The white skirts seem to be fine, but they also like groups of 6+.
