A while ago I asked the question about removing a tank heater from its glass tube for repair, I have worked out a way to do this, in under 2 minutes without any damage or even marks to the rubber seal. Consider the rubber bung, to be like a cork in a bottle, external force will not remove the...

Hello all, I have a couple of All-Glass compact fluorescent 48 inch strip lights on my Malawi and South American cichlids tanks and I am trying to find suitable replacement bulbs. I really like the 55 W bulbs that came with the lights. These are made by GE and have a temperature of 9375 Kelvin...

Has anyone heard of these, The story I got was that in the wild, they can squirt water at bugs to bring them down. These things are Silver with Black lines, and are triangular shape, I have no idea how big they get. They are fresh water tropical, and I,ve been advised to keep them on there own....

I just purchased a pair of young red oscars. I set up a 10 gallon tank only for them. They are apparently frightened and are immobile at the bottom of the tank. They refuse to eat. This has happened in the past with oscars. How can I get them to become active?

"Mousetater" wrote in message ... I tried to do all that I read and heard to keep everyone happy...NOT! I followed the explicit directions of the store owner. He appeared to be a Cichlid expert, I did this: Any other advice...

Just on a whim after getting out of the Salt Water hobby, I tried a deep sand bed of Playsand (About 4-6 inches) in my 80 gallon tank. I'm one of those wacko's that likes to put local wildlife from my vacations into my tank to see how they do. I've REALLY lucked out with some conical snails I got...

Hello, I have a 220 litre (24" cube) Malawi cichlid tank (see http://fish.alansilver.co.uk/Mark3/Gallery/0402FirstFish/Default.asp?img= tank_040217_01.jpg for an out-of-date picture) that is suffering from a green algae problem. I'm fairly certain that the problem is caused by the amount and/or...

One of my Electric Blues has lost part of her tail. There is no sign of infection but she is keeping pretty much hidden. She also had an assignation with one of the males in a cave this afternoon, quite fascinating to watch. Should I just leave her be and monitor her progress or should I be...

I happen to have a large supply of pesticide free earwigs (pincer bugs), do you think it is OK to feed them to my parrot and green terror cichlids?

I hava a young (5 inches) oscar alone in a 75 gallon tank. I have in there a UGF and a power filter, and the oscar somehow managed to jump through the power filter hole a few minutes before I got home from classes. I generally feed him three times a day, so I checked, didn't see him and looked...

Just noticed a baby in the Malawi tank tonight.....my first :-) It seems pretty clever at keeping itself hidden in a small cave at the bottom of the tank - too small for the others to get in there with it.... I think it is probably a Yellow Lab but don't know for sure. However, one of them has not...

I ended up stripping my female Front a little bit to early but all of the eggs were wiggling and it's now been five days post stripping and the eggs sacs are starting to disappear. The 'wigglers' are beginning to swim a bit. I guess I'll be ok :-) On Saturday, 23 Apr, I noticed one of my Fronts...
