Can anyone help me to ID and give care info for some Synodontis cats that I bought yesterday? They were sold as "Lace Synodontis" at my LFS. When she looked up...
Hi spyder...... there are a few that fit the description you gave. The Synos are called the upside down cats because they spend a lot of time swimming in that...
I've had over a dozen "lace cats" myself, and so far there's been no less than a half-dozen species involved. The terms lace cat is usually used as a catch-all...
I bought a couple synodontis for $9.95 . They had them as S. longirostris but I'm not so sure. They are about 2 1/2" and maybe still have to grow the...
They look like young S.ocellifer to me, and not bad lookin ones at that (I often see them come in quite skinny). They usually run $15-20 around here at 2-3" ...

Hi everyone. I have a bronze corydora that is has a side armour problem. I don't know what caused it. It looks like a scrape or possibly a fish burn? Maybe it...

I lost a couple fish in my tank, the pet store says my PH is high and only suggested some drops to fix it. Does anyone know any other/better ways to lower my...
Yes, you can do more water changes. Of course, if the pH of the tap water is too high this won't help. You can also add rain water, collected from outside. You...
Thanks for the tips Mark. Peat? Like the peat moss they sell next to the potting soil? My tap water has the same pH as my tank so my water changes haven't...
yes, peat moss. you need to put it into an old nylon, or something like that, and put it into the filter. Beware; it will turn your water a tea-like colour....
Before you go playing around with your pH level (which can be very stressful to the fish if not done carefully), just what exactly is the pH of your tapwater? ...
According to my pH test kit, my tap water is 7.4. I don't know how to test conductivity. The tank has a Whisper filter and an undergravel filter on my 20...
Hi. #1, except for the neons, and the ghost shrimp, everything you have in your tank was probably bred and raised in hard high pH water, so I doubt pH is the...
A pH of 7.4 didn’t sound that high to me, but the pet stores insisted that my pH was too high. Maybe my pH kit is wrong? I should go ahead and invest in...
No 7.4 isn't too high, it ranges from that to 7.6 here and all my softwater fish do absolutely fine in it without the use of chemicals. Obviously the petshop...
