The Foul asked:


I’ve heard people say that a little bit of salt added to the aquarium can help prevent disease.

If so, what kind of salt and how much exactly?

thanks!

Slick Rick asked:


My aquarium will revolve around Discus fish so keep that in mind if you want to help. I’m trying to keep fish that are showy since it will be in my dining area.

These are the fish I’m considering:
8-10 Discus (8 inches)
10 Corydoras
4-6 German blue rams (maybe because I have to shown caution with the other fish)
4-6 Praecox Rainbow
3-4 Blue Gouramis (maybe because I have to show caution with discus)
10-15 Neon Tetras

I’ve read that I should keep about 1 discus for every 10 gallons. Since I have 150 gallons to work with, I figure I can keep about 8-10 with still plenty of room.

For filters, I’ll have either two penguin wheel 350’s (filters up to 75 gallons which will be 150) or two emperor 400’s (filters up to 80 gallons which will be 160).

For aeration, if I still need need something because I’ll already have two power filters, I’ll use bubble walls/wands.

For heating I’ll use two 250 watt heaters. Any specific brands you recommend?

Extras will be put into details.
Not too sure on what plants would work well with my set-up, so what would you recommend? I want live plants in this aquarium.

For gravel, I’ll use brown gravel to have a more natural look as suggested by MagicMan.

I’ll by a master test kit to measure my water parameters because I know that’s a must.

For weekly water changes, what would you recommend for a tank of this size? My kitchen sink is about 25-30 feet away if that helps on selection.

Any other advice would help greatly. Thank you.

Name only “two” types or breeds of freshwater aquarium fish that are favorites of yours….
Yeah, this answer got posted twice because ‘Yahoo Answers’ said this site was down and that the my questions did’nt go through (however, obviously they did). - Sorry about that.

stashley88 asked:


I have a 37 gallon, cycled, freshwater aquarium. Im still in the process of adding new fish to the tank slowly. The salt has directions on how much to use, but not how often. I want to make sure they don’t get too stressed. Any feedback is appreciated.

Joe K asked:


I’m looking to get a oscar, How much would it cost for the decor, gravel, water treatments, cleaning instruments, water conditioners, etc. Also what are the dimensions (LxWxH) of a 55 gallon tank?

wendy p asked:


Thanxs for your answer however they are not worm shaped at all. They are shaped like a flea but a clear whiteish grey color. They are in the water. They appear to be able to swim as well as crawl along the rock. There are a great number of them, over 50. could my Siamese algae eaters have mated? could they be babies? I can’t seem to find a picture of algae eater babies.
