The yeast and sugar react to create a gas (CO2). The pressure of this gas will build in the container and it will be forced out through the path of least resistance -- which will hopefully be your airline!

I was able to find this info on the web: http://www.foreignborn.com/visas_imm/enter...et.htm#wildlife Looks like you'll need to know exactly what species you'll be brining in, and it appears to be a paperwork nightmare. I personally wouldn't recommend it, but good luck!

I'm facing a similar dilema...personally I'm planning on moving the oto cats I currently have in my 6 gal into a 20 gal (and probably adding some tetras with them in the 20) next week. For the empty 6 gal I'll be left with, I'll probably get a single betta and maybe some shrimp. If up-sizing...

Absolutely.

Well...I seem to have found the cause of what is "growing" in my tank. I just did a water change and gave the roots a closer inspection. It seems that the cause was stupidity. Thats right, I'm an idiot. All that it was is the spongy material that the grass came rooted too. When I got it I...

Can anyone tell me what is growing on some of the roots of my grass? Its the brown and slimy looking stuff that is around the bottom of the grass. Is this harmful? Can I treat it or should I just pull the grass out?

I have an idea, but take it with a grain of salt...I don't know a thing about snails... Maybe if you got rid of the snails you had at this point and hatched the eggs in new water (maybe the old water from your tank after you gravel vac) you would have disease free snails. I'm guessing its...

I wouldn't recommend drinking from your fish tank at all... :unsure:

Be sure to use a de-chlorinator additive when using tap water. The chlorine in tap water is one thing that we can drink that fish can not!

Thanks for the info. Anyone else have experience and/or opinions?

I have a 20-gallon tank that I will be setting up shortly. The stock is still to be determined, but it will definitely be tropical freshwater. My current tank uses an integrated Marineland Bio-Wheel that I'm a fan of, so I'm planning on staying with the brand. This being said, can anyone...

Maybe some Glass Catfish. I've seen these available at several LFS. http://images.google.com/images?q=glass+ca...es&ct=title This will give you info & price on the species. http://www.liveaquaria.com/product/prod_di...id=2519&N=3

It's Jungle "Parasite Clear Tank Buddies." It does say that it prevents secondary infections... http://www.petco.com/product/3348/Jungle-P...nk-Buddies.aspx

Thanks Wilder. The poor guy didn't make it through the night...I'm just glad he didn't suffer long. :sad: I plan on continuing to treat the tank for internal parasites incase this is what caused the problem. If it is bacterial, do I need to worry about the others in the tank? I've been...
