I started my tank with my Maroon Clown while my tank was still cycling about 2
years ago. He has grown and has been disease free since his introduction. He
now lives in 3 bubble anemones which I provide him. They are not that hard to
keep, but very mean, he bites my hand when I move things around. Not once, but
repetitively.

Yes, oscars are tropical fish and it would be very humane of you to put a
heater in there during cool seasons.  Oscars can tolerate cooler temperatures
than other tropical fish.  As it gets cooler, your oscars will get sluggish,
stop eatting, and lie at the bottom of the tank tilting slightly.  They do
their own version of hiberating.  But if it gets too cold, they will die.
Be on the safe side, put a heater in.

Yesterday I found a small 'clutch' (group? gathering? pile?) of
eggs stuck to a small Amazon sword plant. The whole pile is roughly
2 cm long and surrounded by an almost invisible clear membrane. The
eggs themselves (~30- 40) are a mix of clear 'shells' and clear shells
with a white dot in the middle. I am curious to know what they are
from and if I should be protecting them or removing them. 

Tank inhabitants: 18tetras of 3 types, 1 Botia loach, 1 Bristlenose
pl**co, one otocinclus, and one whip tail cat.I have got one baby 
tetra that was born in this tank, but I was under the impression
that tetras are egg scatterers and dont lay a pile like I've found.

Any thoughts? JonY@microsoft.com

I have built a number of different shapes and sizes of aquariums.  And have 
talk to several others about their experiences.  

I would not recommend using plexiglas or acrylic.  I would recommend a 
thickness of 1/4" for anything 12"-20" tall and 24"-40" wide.  3/8" glass 
will work for 20"-28" tall of the same width.  A 24"tall aquarium that is
60" wide should be 1/2" glass.  Consider the weight of the glass involved 
when planning the assembly.  Help is required to build a 100 gallon tank.

I have not found a good formula to use.  I have not had a tank burst on me
yet though.  I believe in being on the conservative side.  But have made
creative tanks that avoid long peices of glass to reduce cost. 

A good clean silicon bead is sufficent to hold the glass together.  I 
recommend you practice on a smaller tank before the BIG project.

Trim is for show, so wood will work fine.  A good polyurethane finish to 
protect it from water is recommended. 

Good luck,
Gordon Niessen

Very much appreciated this article.  One of my biggest complaints with having

Currently, I do just earthworms and dry food, but with the information you

	Thanks for the comments so far. I haven't decided what to put in
	it though I do like the suggestions of small schooling fish - esp
	if the aquarium will look "flat". I also understand that the 
	filtration will be crucial as the exposed surface area will be
	significantly reduced wrt the viewing area (and hence expected
	fish count).

	I was considering a design along the following lines:

	______________________________________________________________
	##############################################################
	##############################################################
	######							######
	######							######
	######							######
	######							######
	######							######
	######							######
	######							######
	######							######
	######							######
	######							######
	######							######
	##############################################################
	##############################################################


	The side areas will conceal additional custom mechanical and 
	biological filtraton equipment. Perhaps some type of counterflow 
	air reactor column in one of them to help with the gas exchange
	(anybody built one care to offer me some tips?)

	There's a guy here in Durham, I've heard, that designs custom 
	filtration equipment for the stores here as well as for others.
	He may be able to help.

	At least I'm not talking about a marine aquarium......yet...

	The top will hinge back, flush with the all, and the light will
	be removable. That should help with maintenance as unobstructed
	overhead access would be provided.

	The bottom would conceal a storage area for food, nets, misc,
	and probably the air pump.

	regards, Mike

Plecos come in a large range of sizes not always easily determined ahead
of time because a lot of the different species are not identified yet.

Some of them - like the clown Pleco (Pekoltia) are all relatively small.
Some others get to be huge.  I do not know if the Huge dudes fit
conveniently into any one category like Pekoltia.

While it is true that Ick can be induced by a drop in temperature, the
parasite had to be there in the first place in order for it to develop on
your fish, or else you introduced it with a new addition to the tank.
I have had great success with treating and curing an explosion of Ick with
Maracide from Mardel Laboratories, Inc.  You needn't raise the temperature
while treating either.  It will not upset your biological filter when used
as directed.  Just remove any activated carbon filtration during treatment.
The raising of the temperature can help by speeding up the life cycle of
the parasite, but this not totally necessary.
As a preventive measure, it can be added when you make regular water
changes.  
Another product that is effective as prevention is Aquari-Sol by Aquarium
Pharmaceuticcals.  (Not SOS).  It is not as effective as a treatment for
the full-blown disease however.  
From your post, I am certain that you introduced infected fish.
I suggest you use an isolation tank in the future before you introduce new
fish to prevent such happenings.
Good Luck!

  Recently one of my 3 kissing Gourami has developed a huge green
spot on its head. It looks alot like algae is growing in a hole.
I've never read about anything like this before - anyone else ?
said spot it 2/3 the size of his pupil. (I have heard of Oscars
getting hole-in-the-head disease)

  Background : 55gal. fresh, lots of light, lots of plants growing
in little pots, doing well. A Mom & Dad convict Ciclid w/20 
crowded young also share the tank. A big Eheim filters it. The
3 Gourami are refugees from when I was just starting 8 years ago.
Yes, water changes, etc. No, I no longer bother measuring Ph.

  I'm more curious than anything else; The fish is pretty old by now ...
