This is everything it came with....I think I got a steal. She had it set up for saltwater and then converted it to freshwater. I have a ton of stuff that I don't know how to use! I haven't been successful in getting the python to work either. I can hook it to my spicket (outside) but not my sink but I can't hook the tubing to the sink/spicket attachment. It has a male end on attachment but It is to big and will not thread. Help with that would be great as well. I am getting discouraged. I tried to attach pics but it won't let me. You can look at it on craigslist under SC, then Upstate, the type in fishtank, it is the one that is for 200 and says clemson/anderson for location. The water is very murky looking and maybe that is what the film is. So I am guessing bacteria, fungal, or algae. Please help.....my husband says it is a waste of money and I should have bought a new lens for my camera. But I started this hobby with a 10 gal and I absolutely love it. It is very relaxing to lay on the couch and watch the fish. Please only aquarium experts or ones with years of exoerience reply!!! I I know you cannot use soap products on tanks. The aquarium is in perfect condition. It comes fully equipped with stand included. Asking for $200 since I want to make apartment moving easier. Whats included: It has two light fixtures. powerhead. heater. thermometer. magnetic tank cleaner. two filters. sea clone 100 protein skimmer. about 30 pounds live rock. switchable background. oxygen bubblers. specialized sifter/ filter (attaches to sink when you want to put in water or clean the tank). lots of aquarium decorations. 4 varities of fish food. grabber tool (used to place decorations with out getting hands wet). saltwater advance test kits (if you want to go the saltwater tank way). 2 50 gallon bags of salt. aquarium comes with live sand already at the bottom. 2 fish.

Well, I am going to have Danio's for sure but the rest of the fish I want, my friend say's they aren't good starter fish. I also wanted guppies, rainbow fish, platy's and molly's. I don't see how they are bad starter fish.... Its not like I am going to breed them right away..... So, give me your opinion. I looked at a chart to see if the fish I want are okay with each other and they are!!! http://www.funfishtank.com/wp-content/freshwater-fish-compatibility-chart-for-you.jpg Anyway could you give me your opinion on the types of fish I have chosen and maybe other fish that I could choose instead... Thanks a lot!!! Oh yeah, my tank may be 20-50 gal. I am unsure yet. But I may get more then one! Thanks again..... Okay, you guys convinced me! I will get some Tetras!! I looked at the chart and they go good too! I will get them instead of Molly's. I will get a bunch of different types of Tetras cause they sound cool! Thanks!! I hope more people answer so I can hear more opinions!

I want some ideas for some fish that would get along good in a 50 gal tall tank. I would like some medium sized fish as the smaller fish, like guppies and mollies, just seem too small.

I have a 50 gal. aquarium, and am looking for a couple cool looking fish for it in the next couple days.

I am planning on starting my first own salt aquarium very soon, I've had experience with ponds and freshwater aquariums for 10 years so I think it is time to start my saltwater tank. What I want my tank to have is, 2 Longfin Bannerfish 2 Yellowtail Damselfish 1 Ocellaris Clownfish 1 Auriga or Racoon Butterflyfish 1 Bicolor Pseudochromis 1 Purple Stripe Pseudochromis So the question is, is a 50 gallon tank enough? or should I go for a bigger tank? But I wanna keep it to a 50 gal. max. So how many fishes would i have to take out to keep it at 50 gals and not have to buy a bigger tank?

I used to have fish this summer... (just a couple of lingering goldfish that were food for the turtle I used to have but never got eaten living in my old 50 gal. aquarium). Anyways my family recently got a bird and taking care of it and my dog was too much for me too handle so I put the goldfish in my pond. Now i realize I miss the soothing sound of the tank and the connection with my dad under the grounds of a common hobby. My dad is a HUGE saltwater reef aquarium guru but i prefer freshwater fish. I want to get some fish again but I need help choosing which type. Here is what I'm looking for: Something that requires very little space (I HATED the high maintenance of a big tank). Something relatively easy to take care of (this isn't too important, I have my dad too help after all). Something different. I want a fish that looks really cool. Not pretty, cool. You know, a fish that I can sit by at night when I can't sleep and just watch it swim back and forth (and actually enjoy doing it, that is). And, once again, it has to be freshwater. The Fish doesn't have to meet these requirements exactly, but as close as possible would be great! Thank you so so so so much!! By the way, i forgot one important requirement. I want a fish that does well on its own. No schooling fish. Once again, I want to keep a SINGLE FISH. K. Thanks. Also, invertebrates are not completely out of the question. Shrimp/crayfish are pretty cool...

I have a 30 gal tank that Ive had for about 2 yrs, plus Ive had it set up with other fish in the past, and Id consider myself fairly fish knowledgeable, but I have never had anything like this happen before. within the last 7-10 days I have lost about 10 fish, most of them have died in the last 5 days. I only have 8 fish left. I have had guppies, tetras (cardinal & neon) & a blue paradise dwarf gourami. the temp is set at a consistent 73 degrees, I have an ammonia and pH monitor visible inside the tank, plus I tested with my API kits for pH, ammonia, nitrates, and nitrites, and everything was 100% normal. the only thing that is different, is after my last water change, I bought some new fish. a goldfish, an oto, a couple guppies, and some rummynose tetras. probably too many fish to add at once & overall the tank would be considered overstocked, but I tend to do that and make up for it with more frequent water changes. I have managed my tanks this way for years and never had any probs, plus I dont think this would cause the rapid deaths I am having. the rummynose were the first to start dying. lost 2 of the 3 about 5 days after I bought them, a couple days apart. then within the last week or so I have lost 5 of my cardinal/neon tetras, my hardy as hell gourami died yesterday, now today my goldfish is acting just like the gourami did before he croaked yesterday, and 2 or 3 guppies have died. I have 2 live plants in the tank that are thriving, I use aquarium salt and tap water purifier everytime I change my water, I have a heater of appropriate wattage that keeps the temp perfect, I have a power filter that I keep clean and just changed yesterday after doing another water change. and I have a power head to pump oxygen into the tank as well. the only thing I can think of is that the new fish brought some disease, OR the bucket I used to fill with water to put in the tank had some residue of soap or chemical in it (though I dont remember using it for cleaning, as these are my fish-specific buckets). I did about a 50-60% water change yesterday (with a known CLEAN bucket) when I really realized how many fish have died so quickly, and that my gourami was feeling sick, but it doesnt appear to have helped as the gourami died last night, as well as another guppy, and my goldfish that appeared normal yesterday is now having difficulty swimming and staying balanced. I see no sign of fungus or parasites. I did treat with copper safe for a potential worm I saw about 2 months ago. I have no idea what the heck to do/think here. even if I lose all my fish and buy more, I fear any new ones will die as well unless I figure out what the heck is in my tank. any thoughts/advice or referrals to a good book/website is appreciated!!! yes, duh, I know its not recommended to mix goldfish and tropical. the tropical fish I have all prefer/tolerate cooler temps, and Ive had goldfish historically and they are extremely hardy and forgiving fish. I highly doubt the fact that it is a goldfish is causing all my fish to die at the same time. annoyed I cant reply to your answers....... thank you OMC, great info, this is what I was looking for.
