need some advice guys... i need to split up my discus into two 4ft tanks currently have one tank and i will be gettin the other tank on wednesday... i did a water changer this morning .. can i use 50 percent of my water in the new tank and add 50 percent new water in each tank... and can i also split my sponge filters across both tanks... will this maintain a cycle?

[bir123]

This should but if you are removing a sponge filter make sure to add a new one to both aquarims

Azoo has an easy tank starter liquid, I would add, run the tank for a couple days then test the water before adding the fish.

Got some scuds (Hyalella azteca) recently... has anyone had experience or advice propagating them?

My main concern is that I recently found dragonfly larvae (which are highly aggressive) in the same tank.

ELIMINATE ALL ...........I had a real bad experience when I set up a growout tank for my pearlscale goldfish...........I thought I secured the tank (1000 gal base )...dragonfly was still able to lay eggs...when I transferred the fry late one evening...I came in the morning to see half-of-fish all over the place...I real cuss...lost more than half my spawn overnight.
.
empty tank, wash plants, inspect entire tank & refill the same water u removed & replace plants

^^how to identify this? What does the larve look like?

[cinco]

At the Atlanta (Georgia) Aquarium

i love that place
any fish lover its worth the visit i spend hours in there just sitting looking at the fish
those discus came in at around 2 inches when they opened in 2005

[Halfbreed07]

A swimming arrow, once you see it trust me, you will jump and know it's not supposed to be there.

[DJ]

^^and that attacks the fish? How come the fish doh eat it like shrimp?

[Halfbreed07]

It's too quick fella, it's larger that those silly ghost shrimp too. It does fack up fry, it won't usually affect larger fish.

They are pretty nasty.. look like an alien preditor in your tank and swims like a snake (with legs). Worst part is they look exactly like a plant and are very hard to see when they are small. I tried feeding a couple to some good sized gold fish I had in a tank but they ended up holding on to one of the fish's sides before scuttling out of sight.

Anybody know where i cud get gravel to build ah bio filter?

[Halfbreed07]

Bio balls and pot scrub u mean?
Forget gravel.

[meccalli]

I think those trap more debris than provide a good surface for bacteria, a sand filter is the real flick but you need some gear to run it, i like to use this in my hob

You can put it in a sump or separate section for a strict biofilter.

[ryan99tt]

Is not ah small filter i building so those options will cost alot...

Just Monday I bought 25 four pack plastic scourers at Westbees for $7.50 a pack. It's not that expensive and beats illegally raiding a river for gravel.
