what kind of plants are those, long stalks / big canopy?

Red Tiger Lotus (Nymphaea zenkeri 'Red')

I meant the green ones though

Those would Vals

The long Grass looking one I think is Vallisneria

The leafy green one at the top looks likea type of Java Fern.

Oh those, the long green grass is some sort of vallisneria, never really got the name of it. I've had Vallisneria too and they're not exactly the same. The green things are java fern "windelov"

:ahwow:

I remember back when I signed up for BCA, it asked me where I found the site from and one of the options was RS.

becasue the owner was a member of RS and he posts quite frequently in this thread. :fullofwin:

Old owner :p

I sold site.

Still Admin though. And apparently Xilley is a bit of a trouble maker on BCA :p

anyone here use acrylic tanks or is glass the way to go?

anyone looking for some silvertip bristle nose plecos?
Ive got LOTS ranging from 1-2"
Shoot me a pm if interested and we can work out a deal depending on how many you want.
Still too young to sex atm.

Great sized plecos that max out at ~5"

Is anyone from here breeding CRS? Chrystal red shrimp or Blacks?

Had my 35gallon glass tank crack on me while I was at work ... dozens of towels later and a quick drive to rent a shop vac from Safeway plus 2 days of running multiple fans over the carpet ... yeah ... :( ... thinking about acrylic now ... :pokerface:

2 year old, 140G, Mostly Tangs, with 2 Clownfish, 1 Trigger, soft corals, purple lobster, 3 sea cucumbers, snails (a lot of them).

The foxface pictured in here died a short while ago.

by any chance does anyone here have a 55 gal tank they're looking to get rid of??

Anyone interested in a 71 gallon tank, stand, lid, lights package?

I guess you could say I'm a fish hobbyist. I catch them, then eat them.

I have a 50 gal tank set up with black stand and glass lids in near perfect condition, if anyones interested pm me.

its a 3 feet 50 gallon.

So I'm in a bit of a dilemma right now. I moved into a new place and the previous owner left an aquarium here with a bunch of live fish still in it (not sure what they are, but it's a fresh water tank). The tank is down about 1/3 water and apparently the pump hasn't been run in weeks. From the sounds of it, the fish haven't been fed in a while too. Luckily in some of my storage boxes I had some fish feed from when I had a bunch of Betta fish, so I've started feeding them that stuff. Surprisingly the live plants look healthy, there's virtually no algae on the glass, and the rocks look pretty clean.

However, would it be worthwhile buying a new pump and other stuff in order to keep these fish alive? Also, how would I go about refilling the tank with that much water while keeping the water quality livable? I don't have a big enough bowl or spare tank to dump the fish into while doing cleaning the main tank... not to mention I've no idea what's required to clean a large(ish) tank. I'm used to Betta fish, where I could literally dump them into a pint glass for the 10 minutes it took to refresh their water. :lol

Suggestions? What should I buy?

I'd say keep it if the tank and stand looks good.
You Can always trade the current fish into a store and get some of your liking.

As for water change, you'll want one of these. Go to a home plumbing store and get an adapter that'll fit your current sink tap. No more carrying buckets and never a spill.
Amazon.com: 25 Foot - Python No Spill Clean and Fill Aquarium Maintenance System: Pet Supplies
You can always get the "tap/switch connector locally and go to Home Depot to buy the hose for the length you need.

Good luck

Pics so we can give better advice. ww

Shitty someone just left their tank, but good in a sense for you. lol

I think we'd need more info on the setup (or pics) to help you out. Is there currently a heater and filter running?

Need to get filtration and heating in asap or the fish will likely die (if they're tropical).

Water change, prime + python.

Nothing else needed.

yeah lomac u should post some pics... with detailed pics of the diff types of plants and diff types of fish inside of course.

I'm thinking of starting a crystal red shrimp tank... maybe.
