I'm one to feed fish knowing the feel of hunger. The tankmates I have gleem the aquarium from top to bottom and all points in-between. I feed them twice a day and they seem to be starving. My concerns are obvious. Am I being conservative towards the amount of food I'm giving them? My setup...

I had such fun today. A dear friend found a 2 gallon tank in a thrift store and decided to keep fish for the first time since her childhood. She came to me ready to follow the instructions and put a bunch of fish in the tank. (!) I got over to her house and found to my delight that the thrift...

I have a common plecco that has become a monster in my 29 gallon tank, and it needs at least twice the space that it currently has. It is about 9" long (max size 18"), and his head is more than an inch across. The fish is basicly a gentle giant that swims around my tank when nobody is near the...

I have curious growths in my 75 gallon tank. They grow to about a 1/4 to 3/8 inch diameter, dark on the circumference and lighter in the middle. So far they only appear on the two ends just at the boundary of gravel and water. It has been a couple of years since the first ones showed up. I...

I have always wanted to try an aquarium with live plants, but fear has stopped me! I would like to start out with a 10 gal. tank to see how it goes. I have an economy incandescent hood with 2 all-glass 6500k 10 wt. flourescent bulbs to use that a guy in a LSF assured me would be adequate for most...

I've read conflicting temperature preferences for the RTBS...one site states a preference of 75*F...some say 78*F...some say 76*-82*F...My tank is holding at 80*F (If I can read that inny winny teeny mercury right)..I'm considering bringing it down to around 77*-78*F...any thoughts on...

5 silver hatchet, been with me for 2 or 3 weeks. Very active, almost too active. One developed a small, white, ich looking spot on his body, right where the silver body meets the semi translucent anal fin. No behavior change, no other spots, all other hatchets, and tank mates check out fine. I...

I found this tank at http://www.aquariumsuperstore.co.uk/mall/renaaquarlifepanorama.asp. I was curious if they had a dealer in the States? -- .........-ED

Who had the brilliant idea of allowing cross-postings on usenets? What positive purpose could it possible serve? Seems like it just bogs the system down...consuming bandwidth.....this is a senseless generation for sure...Technology abounds and we lack the discipline to use it properly.

I posted before but used the subject new fish and it was all ready a post so it added my post to there. I went to oddball aquariums today and got two female betta's, one male (just cause he was pretty) and three angels, i will i think get more but wanted to see how these guys did first. post more...

Hi Group, The tanks are going well and the Clown Loaches (with lots and lots of hiding places) are getting big (few inches long now), their out and about alot! I'm really lovin it, the cats are mezmorized too. Thanks for the past help to get me here. There is one Loach, however, who seems to be...

Bill Stock wrote: OK, so aggression is a bit overstated. They sit on the bottom and one slowly approaches the other and it backs off. Then the one that backed off approaches the first one and it backs off. I don't know if this is a territorial thing or a mating ritual. It all looks pretty...

Didn't someone not to long ago, post that they had a fish with a missing eye, or eyes? I thought they said it was due to another fish in the tank, but wasn't sure of which one of it's tankmates did it... An aggerssion thing, which let it slip by me, untill now... I can't find the post, but wanted...

Just thought i would let you guys know, i have baby betta, they are swimming up and down at the moment, they came out of the eggs about 26 hours after being spawned, i also had another spawn going and we got to the point where he put the eggs in the nest then he got tired of it after having to pick...

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi all, My 3 black neon tetras, 1 h. rasbora and 2 glowlight tetras seem very happy, and aside from the diatom/brown algae I have to scrub away with water changes, the tank is clear. Today, more than two months after I set up the 10g tank, and after...

I have an angel that has developed some reddish spots at the top of its body between the dorsal fin and the eyes. It looks like rust! Can anyone identify this ailment? AM

Hello I hope you all are doing well. I have been lurking here for a bit and just wanted to ask what would be a good startup system for a small apartment / house? Thanks for any info, have a nice day.

hau kolas..got a bit of a quandary here..I've acquired a small painted turtle who has been living in a 20G L tank with about 5 gallons of water and "land" areas at either end of the tank. Anyway, being as the water area is pretty small, threw a fluval 1 plus internal filter in there. Long story...

So I put my new aquarium together and filled it with water last night. (I work nights and have Sunday and Monday nights off.) It's looking pretty bleak with no plants. They should arrive Wednesday, according to the shipping info on the website where I ordered them (The Pet/ Aquarium Guys). Once I...
