my biggest is sititng at a small 10US gal, till i have more room than just my bedroom, then I will be going bigger

my lfs doesnt seem to have much right now at all. grrr. I'll have to go into the city and see what I can find. as for my air pump, it is sitting on my carpeting at the moment. i figured it couldnt make that much noise on the carpet.

is there any way to control the amount of air that a pump is giving out? i have a rena air 50, and find that it is giving out a heck of a lot of air. I amusing a 2.5inch airstone along the back of a 10gal tank, and it just seems like so much air. lol also, are there any quieter air pumps than...

I just relized I havent been on here in almost a year! a couple little updates on my fish. my tetra tank had a really bad outbreak last summer, and all passed away. :-( i got away from fish for a while, while going through a really bad breakup with my long term bf, but I have decided that my...

I love Shiba Inu's. They are one of the prettiest breeds, and are great dogs. My old roomate had a couple, and I fell in love with them, and now I want one when I have a house.

I would like to get some cichlids for a 50 gallon tank I just got. I don't want too many in the tank, but I would liek something pretty, and not too big. I was origionally going to go with rams, but I dont know now, I might want something a touch bigger for a tank that size. I don't plan on any...

Well, I finally lost all my tetras form my 10 gal. I had them for a long time now, and they were happy little fish, but the time came for them. :rip: On the good side, a friend of mine is giving me his old 50gal with everything, so Cichlid tank, here I come!!

it wasnt just his tail. it started off with velvet, which I treated the whole tank for, after putting him in quarentine to treat. All in all, he had signs of: fin rot, ulcer, he had a gill disease. those were the for sures. None of my other fish are affected, so I am hoping to keep them that way.

oh, I forgot to add that! I do my water testings quite often as well, and water levels are right where they should be. :) *edited for my horrible spelling*

Today I have to euthanize my one little black phantom tetra. I have tried many different meds for him, but he seemed happier when I didn't medicate him and left him to hang out with his friends and swim and eat. I know what some of you are thinking "Won't he infect my other fish?" well, he has...

Well, my Tetra reappeared from wherever he was hiding, and the tank is happy again! I should have out my shrimp back into the main tank after I finished treating my tetras, instead of keeping them in the hospital tank to make sure they would not get affected by and trace medication.

I don't think I will be buying any more fish after this. my 3 shrimps passed away yesterday, and today i noticed that one of my tetras are missing, and presumed dead. I only have 3 more tetras and a guppy fry left in my one tank, and I don't see myself buying any more fish until my bf and I move...

I took thwe shrimp out of the main tank, and into a hospital tank, and now am waiting to hear what is the best meds for my 4 tetras and 1 fry. thanks!!

the fish that are in there are black phantom tetras. I dont think they handle salt, do they?

fluffy, but not really whispy. if I add meds, should I taek the baby fish out? and what is safe with my shrimp?

one of my shrimp is bendy too! like a hunchback.

One of my Blacjk phantoms has a fungus around it's tail fin, like a ring. what could cause this, and how do I treat it? Should I take him out of the tank? The only spare tank I can use as a hospital tank is a smaller "betta" tank without a filter. help!

woohoo, i think i just suckered a friend into coming over to help clean them haha, so it'll be better cause I'll have company. Off to clean!

I haven't gotten a chance to clean my tanks in a week and a half, yikes!! I have a spare minute right now, but am catching up with an old friend. Hmm, maybe I can show my son how to start fish care (he's a year and a half) when he wakes up. I really need to get it done! On the bright side, all...

nice spin on the canadian joke DannyBoy17. :P

Thank you for the advice guy!

A friend of mine is having some issues with his new goldfish, well, his dad's fish. What is a treatment for fish lice?

I have my tongue pierced. it now has a titanium bar through it.

hey FM! How's Sask treating you?

I totally agree mwm. I wish we had some of the euro cars in Canada. *sigh*

Thank you everyone!! Now to learn about guppies. :)

I thought perhaps it might have been a guppy, but I do not recall seeing any guppies at the lfs when he was there.

I have no idea what he is, so any guesses are helpful! He came with my amano shrimp a little while ago, and has already grown quite a bit from when I first got it. Sorry about the bubbles, I just did a water change.

My 3 amanos like to hang out on the bogwood. I catch them eating alge occasionally, but most of the time they're lazy little creatures. As for the shedding, when my shrimp did it the first time, I panicked until I saw all three peeking at me from behind the wood, so I just took the old shell...

thats what I've been doing. :)

not in sunlight, no overfeeding, reg water changes (about every 6 day) of 2gallons, I hand remove a lot of the alge from the plants, and take it off the glass. All my levels are good. amm:0, nitrite:0 ph:8.0 (where it's always been) nitrates:10. Had the tanks since July, newest addition were the...

oh, duh!! sorry about that. it is a 10 Gal, and has an aquaclear 150 power filter, as well as a tetra whisper 10i that I am wanting to remove from the tank.

My tank is happy and healthy (at least thats what my shrimp keep telling me) but I am getting alot of alge everwhere. it doe snot seem bad for my fish (4 black phantoms, 3 amano shrimp, 1 unknown fry)) but it is kind of yuck to look at. it is on my gravel, my plants, my glass... Is there...

nice bimmer. although another car with those tailights! I like the Golf in the background!!

I am also on a makeup forum, and I posted a comment in regards to a user's comment about only changing her tank water once a month. It shocked me when I read it, so I commented in an "aiya!" fashion. I got a pm later with this: "I keep an eye on the parameters, have awesome filters with...

For my ph, the only thing I use is bogwood in my tank, and that is for both ph and because my shrimp love it. I don't believe in adding more chemicals to your tank than absolutly necessary (water treatment) so I will stay away form the ph lowering chemical. The way I figure it is that my fish...

hehe, I figured I would change the subject description so I didn't have any more fish lovers worrying why I find ich so amusing. I'll have to let everyone know if I develop gills after taking the metronitizol. :D

I was hoping my misery would bring a gigle to everyone here! :fish: ^ me
