What kind of building is it? Wood Frame? Concrete? Steel beam? As long as the floor is level, you should be able to place it almost anywhere. I lived on the...
Lenny, ty for that link. As I have inheireted (sp?) 2 females I was interested in what they needed. I may become addicted and get a few males to go with the...
The Loch Ness monster is back — and there's video। A man has captured what Nessie watchers say is possible footage of the supposed mythical creature...
A 50G tank should be no problem on a 2nd floor... even if you didn't put it in the best/strongest spot. Usually up to 100G is fine for most residential units...
I now have the little otto's in all my tanks. I took the chinese algae eaters back to the store because they were too aggressive. The otto's get the job done...
My local fishkeeping friends keep bugging me to look into this, so here goes -- I have kept a tank of guppies for years, and they started out the usual way --...
Hi All, I was wondering if there was anyone in the Dallas TX area that knows where I can get a pygmy gourami? I read a profile on them and they seem to be neat...
Hi Lenny: Thanks for the links to those two articles - very interesting! It seeems that at the least I need a breeding net and another tank would be best for...
Lynda, Your levels will typically stay fine when there are no fish in the tank. Yes it is wise to let the tank run empty for the first bit, but it is...
What you are seeing is an exercise in genetics. You have a limited group of fish. They breed, well, like guppies <g>. Guppies, like a few other species, are...
Neat and tough to ship and tough to keep. They can be found, but not in large numbers, and I don't know about your area of the country. Check out the...
Kelly, I can not tell you how many tanks I've cycled without using any fish at all. While there are other methods to achieve this, but my favorite is just to...
The best way is to join your local aquarium society. Then you should hear of shows in the area presented by other clubs as well as the possibility that your...
Hard to keep,huh? That makes me even more wary of spending so much on shipping. I followed a link on the Dr's F & S page to order one but backed out when I saw...
While most texts will tell you that the fish are omnivorous, they do best on live foods only, and I have not known them to adapt to a flake diet very well. I...
That sounds like it would fit in the tank I was planning on. I have a small species tank that stays 80 F most of the time and has a small filter in it so the...
Just started recently with a 55 gal freshwater with a good amount of plants, pretty good amount of light, co2 tank with reactor and a few fish , (8-10). I do...

There is no direct sunlight hitting the tank, we made sure of that. We don't over feed. the get a small pinch 2 times a day. we have about 6 fish, 1 gourami,...
Hi, Kelly Thanks for your advice. Actually, I agree. We bought some sacrificial damsels to rush up the cycling process right after my last post (about a...
I bought a clown loach today to control my snails, but also have read that they are interesting to keep! He jumped out of the little collection tank at the...
You loach will just eat the soft part. You'll start noticing empty shells around the tank. He'll eat snail that is big enough to fit in his mouth. Although -...
What are the test results on your tap water? You should also age your tap for 24-48 hours before testing it as some of the buffers used by water utilities...
They are human engineered via selective breeding which changes their genetics. Whenever "we" do things to alter the genetics of a species, like they do on the...
It would be better if you could give us numbers on your test results. "Normal" tells us nothing since there is no such thing as "normal" for most of the test...
Ooops. I guess I was mistaken on the human input into this species. So many of the "dwarf" varieties of fish are man-made variants of an existing species and...
