We’ve recently updated Aquarium World! We’re working through a few bugs, with exciting new features on the way. Thanks for your patience while we fine-tune the site.

Ammonia
Try adding some 'cycle', it contains all the good ammonia and ammonia by product eating bacteria that you need to get a tank up and running quickly.

Yes but you'd have to find a host for it. Try http://orcon.net.nz

Guppies rubbing themselves on the gravel
Tonic salt it is then. Good thing I'm at work till 8pm and didn't have a chance to add any meds yet!

Nice pics! What size are the parents?

Baby Jaguars
I was impressed by your jag when I saw her in person KM, be sure to post some pics of the new ones 8)

Discus and Carbon filters
I don't think carbon actually removes tannins does it? I thought you had to get some sort of special thing to absorb them.

Guppies rubbing themselves on the gravel
Thanks! I'll get the copper sulfate in there ASAP 8)

The "Betta" experiment.
The females have comparatively short fins next to the males. Here're a couple of pics of one of my males and one of my females:

Guppies rubbing themselves on the gravel
I've noticed a few of my guppies have been rubbing themselves on the gravel, they'll turn sideways and swim down and back up really quick. I know this can't be good, does anyone have any idea why they're doing this/what I can do to fix it (if it is bad)?

The "Betta" experiment.
You might try putting some gravel in from an established tank too, because not much bacteria lives in the actual water. Better yet, some 'cycle' if you have it. Add livestock soon after you do this though, because you want to give the bacteria something to eat.

Lookie Lookie
Nice looking female Phillz, I've got one that looks just like her 8)

Baby fighters with white spot
Use copper sulfate! It's a lot less stressful and in my opinion more effective than malkon blue!
-
sump or not to sump
All depends on how bothered you want to be I suppose. A sump wouldn't be bad in any way and couldn't hurt, could only make things more stable.

My new pleco
Might be a gold nugget, looks almost like a bristlenose though.

Convicts Spawned
They ended up eating the babies. The next day I came home and saw my Angels had spawned. "Cool" I said and then, in front of me, they ate all of their eggs too.
-
HI THERE
It's possible that they do just yell all the time. Maybe they have a hearing problem. Oh and Hi.

another person in need of white spot help
Not a problem, let me know how it goes!
-
another person in need of white spot help
Do a partial water change first, yes.
-
another person in need of white spot help
Use Copper Sulfate instead of Machalite. IMO it's way better. When my four clowns got white spot none of them died of it (but three of them died from jumping out of their containers - live and learn I guess) and I treated them with that. It's commonly sold as a snail killer.

Mystery fry?
Without even looking at your list of fish I would say they're Mollies too.

Pantodon buchholzi - fussy eater
Try starving them for a while, that'll make them less picky. At least it does with Axolotls.
-
Floating Plants
He's talking about H. Difformis though
-
Wide open mouthed Kribensis
Maybe his jaw's gotten locked? That happens to me sometimes, and to my dad heaps. You just have to sort of move it side to side until it rights itself.
-
Phillz tanks
Nice pics! Where'd you catch them from?
-
water aeration/turbulence for oxygention for plecs
If you have your output agitating the surface you should be fine without an air stone.
