If there is anyone who would like to see a fish club in this area of FL, please let me know. The closest one is in Sarasota which is a good drive. There is...
Fish Odyssey 2004 is fast approaching November 5th-7th, 2004. This show includes 9 speakers on a wide variety of subjects. Our featured speaker is Rosario...
Greetings! I'm new to fishkeeping and recently bought a betta and a Eclipse 3 tank to keep him in (about 10 days ago). He seemed lonely, so after some...
Thanks, Les! I thoroughly appreciate your guidance. This morning the tank has cleared considerably and all inhabitants look well. I will keep in mind the...
Larger tanks lightly populated are a lot ewasier to manage. There is more buffer room and margin for error. Small tanks can be very labor intense until you get...
Another newbie question... I have a Julii Cory and a Punctatus Cory. The Punctatus is constantly swimming and searching throughout the tank during the day, but...
I have a small colony of Julii cories. They are not a very active fish compared to some of the other corycats. You will probally notice more activity when the...
You probably have trilineatus, instead of the true julii, which are much harder to find. Trilineatus has a much stronger and bolder pattern, and the snout is...
Hi, Does anyone here, know lots about farlowella (sp?) cats? I've had two, now, for quite some time. They have grown remarkably. In fact, they are 13 and 14...
That's fairly normal from my experience too, my trilineatus (or 3-line/false julii if you prefer) are some of my more laid-back corys. If it's active when ...
Don't have any direct experience w/ Farlowellas here, but I've had my fair share of fish w/ fin filaments anyway.. Chances are they've just been nipped off ...
There is nothing wrong with buying Wal Mart fish, or from many other sources. Just look them over carefully before purchase. Most of the time, the problems can...
... I never did find out what the "punctatus" I bought last year were - closest I can see is a schwartzi, but face all black, and when I got them the were very...
I wouldn't doubt it a bit if they were schwartzi honestly, they're a common import & I have about a 1/2 dozen that were almost all bought at different times. ...
... Well - I bought 3 more, urm, punctatus yesterday - These ones definitely look like schwartzi - but to confuse things - the shop I bought them from ,...
A majority of the people that work in shops don't have the faintest idea what many fish are. They just mark them as what was ordered or what they were labeled...
Has anyone had any experience making their own driftwood. I have been buying some the past couple years for my plecos and synodontoids, and the all seem to...
Never tried. I used to use apple wood from trees I never sprayed. Birch is pretty good. I would scrape the surface layer away to make sure no parasites etc...
I adopted two corydoras about a month ago. One is active and healthy, but he other is in active, has lost his barbels, swims oddly/lopsidedly, and often rests...
It sounds bacterial with the barbel erosion. I have had this in tanks before, most often with trilineatus. Nothing I did helped. Isolate the little guy and try...
I normally don't run a heater during the summer as my big tank stays plenty warm. This past week I did one of my very irregular water changes and a little...

Hi All, I was wondering if you might have some inputs on using salt as a treatment for suspected parasites. I have a: 3 gallon eclipse tank that is planted...
Howdy, If you want an all out anti-parasite use Panacur (sold as horse dewormer) which is nothing really but fenbendazole. Same thing is also present in Fluke...
after 40 years of raising fish listening to lab people and other hobbyists, and persoanl experiebnces, You might treat velvet with aquarium salt which is...
Hey Thanks WM, I saw the white worm-like things on the corys (the killies seem fine) when they were alive. I can't seem to find any worms on them right now...
OK, since it showd up here, I might as well ask: what is the difference between non-iodised Safeway salt and aquarium salt sold in LFS ? The only other time I...
If you can get a non-iodized table salt, then there is no difference, to my understanding, than aquarium salt. Mind you, my aquarium salt container (which I...
Thanks Les, I was a bit concerned that that would be the case but thought I'd run it by here as your inputs have always been super helpful. Happy Holidays, ...
