Hey good group, Thanks again for the advice. I put driftwood in my tank, which he has clearly been mauling. I've also been feeding him a algae tablet ever second day (I drop it right in front of his cave). If I don't get an algae bloom I may increase it to once a day if necessary. I've also...

The popular scientist Carl Sagan, for example, once stated in an interview: “If you look into science you will find a sense of intricacy, depth, and exquisite beauty which, I believe, is much more powerful than the offerings of any bureaucratic religion.” Then he added: “I would not even object to...

How much? I've read 1.5 lbs of gravel per gallon. That would mean 82.5 lbs for a 55 gallon tank. Is this right? -- 8^)~~~ Sue (remove the x to e-mail) ~~~~~~ "I reserve the absolute right to be smarter today than I was yesterday." -Adlai...

I've got a couple of Rosey Barb fry that I discovered when I took down a 10g community tank. They were rescued and placed in 5g tank to grow a bit. My question is how big should they be before introducing them into the 33g community tank with their parents? Currently on appears to be about 3/8 inch...

I went to one of the chains in our town today and saw "Glow Fish" with a trade mark cymble. The label went on to say engineered to glow in the dark, works better with a UV light, ect. What is that all about???? And I felt bad about Blood Parrots.

I want to call the water department this afternoon (cst). Can someone provide me with the pertinent questions to ask them regarding their treatments?...Many Thanks -ED

Is it feasible to order a large tank online and expect a minimal shipping charge? I would like to own a 120g but I'm afraid I'd have to order it...or would constructing my own be the better way to go?....Tempered glass is pricey today, isn't it? -ED

...And it looks to me to be brand new and totally clean,...But I am going to swab it down several times with white vinegar to clean it of fungi, et cetera. But right now what I'm trying to do is mentally trying to figure out just what get's moved to where, so that I then can set up the...

Oh I downloaded this OE quote fix (got to see if I can figure it out now) With my 2 year old blue gourami I have two little blue gourami's and the 1 kissing gourami who has been living with the blue gourami's for over a month now, in the last few days I noticed he is really bugging my 2 year old...

Going to get the filter for my new tank on thrusday. What kind would you suggest? It is a 36g Hex and I plan on having a mix of 4 a.agassizii and a.cacatuoides w/ 5-7corys in there. Just wondering what would be the best option for a filter? hang-on, internal or canister?

The light is on the top but both his eyes look clear. I will look into the gill parasites and flukes more. Thanks for the tip.

I have a choice 2 x 38watt t8 flourescent tubes, or 3x 54watt t5 luminaire Which would people use for a 240litre tank mainly for plants ? Thanks

I fed them this morning and all were fine. Nothing looked amiss. I went back an hour or so later and found an Oranda dead in the plants! No sickness, no loss of appetite, no fin rot and a scrape showed no parasites. It died quickly and with no symptoms. I had this fish over a...

Any one got any info on the Cory Schwartz cat? I hear they've got sharp barbs? So I'm hesitant about adding a couple to a tank since my local shop keeper informed me about this aspect of them.

As a followup to my previous post, thinking it was possibly PH shock, I put a couple of my mollies in the new tank (since they like alkaline water and are used to my water and they turned whitish and started to die within an hour. Everything in the tank is new. Any thoughts? An artifical plant,...

http://www.shockwave.com/gamelanding/fishtycoon.jsp This is a virtual aquarium game. You breed fish, raise them, and sell them in your store to make money for supplies and equipment. Your fish can even get fungus and ich. It's really funny! -- Put the word aquaria in the subject to email me.

It seems that every corycat I get eventually succumbs to the same disease. The only symptom is that the fish loses its balance and cannot swim or lie on the gravel straight. Eventully the fish dies. All my water parameters are good, the temperature is 78F and I keep 2 angelfish, a pleco, some...

I posted this on another fish bank...anyhow- Somewhere in the last few days, someone went into small detail regarding the addition of tea leaves (bags) contributing some positive aspects to freshwater tanks. Would that person go into greater detail the principles and practices of doing such, for...
