hey everyone sorry for the inconsistent posts on this journal lots of things happening lately, just recently acquired a baby blue tongue from a rescue so have been dealing with that plus work, but I digress, The 70 Gallon corner tank is doing great though a day or two after my last/first post of...

It will take a bit to stabilize, I introduced nitrifying bacteria colonies to my tank before adding in fish to help jumpstart the cycle 

http://www.fishchannel.com/fish-magazines/aquarium-fish-international/july-2009/ghost-shrimp-aquarium-care.aspx I used this for basic knowledge, I have had several ghost shrimp breed and have eggs in their pouches in my tank even surviving newborns who have reached sizes large enough to see 

If your in the SOuthern California OC area we have a 20 gallon we are willing to let go of for 10 with a top and some small accesories 

Hello everyone :) this is our new journal following our updated upgraded tank we moved all our fish and such from our 45 gallon bow which will be used to house a Merauke Island Blue Tongue and a Red eyed Crocodile Skink probably turned into a double layer tank with some diy shelving added in but...

looking very cool so far, any ideas as to what your stocking it with?

The two weirdest things happen with disappearing fish, I have a 24 gallon nanocube tank that i use for a spanish ribbed newt tank that i had a bamboo shrimp in, for almost a week straight we could not find him at all, checked all the hiding places and the filter, the thing is that tank is not...

Tank has been upgraded along with a new tank to culture live food and plans to culture blackworms are in the process as well, going to be closing down this journal and starting a new one with the upgraded tank, along with the live food tank as well thanks for your views.

hmmm its possibly a subspecies of the type shown, I'm sure they come in many different colorations, but maybe knowing something that it looks like could be a starting point to identifying the species sorry i couldn't find much more info

I think it might be an elephant nose knifefish http://eol.org/pages/18709773/overview or something along the lines of that

This is going to be a mini post I will be adding more plus photos later, but we are upgrading to a 70 gallon corner tank with upgraded filtration, along with upgraded lights, and the Plankton tank is now beginning to cultivate

If anyone has any experience cultivating proper cultures of freshwater Plankton i would greatly appreciate any form of advice

I would add in the plants before adding in the fish, because disturbing the environment while the fish are inside the tank would cause them undue stress, In my experience the best method is to get your substrate in the tank first add in enough water so that there is an inch level above your...

Thanks :D, you know that dragon was just a personal touch for me cause i love dragons, which is one big reason why i want to add a freshwater pipefish to my tank they remind me so much of eastern dragons, I even added a ton more plants today just for that purpose along with giving my freshwater...

We recently got lucky and were able to find a place that had sumo loaches, we now have 2 in our tank and they are so fascinating to watch as they hop around the entire aquarium. The marine rock has been removed and replaced with another rock for the brown diatom took over the old one, and 2 of...

36x16x21, and we really only plan on housing 2 for a breeding pair, I know Doryichthys deokhatoides and Doryichthys martensii can be bred in freshwater, and Enneacampus ansorgii is a brackishwater pipefish but I've read many journals that they can be kept in freshwater and even spawn in...

Just give your Kuhli Loach time, if you really want to view them, wait till night make sure you have all lights off, and use a red filtered flashlight, a good number of fish can't see red so this will give you a view into the night life of your fish, Kuhli loaches tend to like to feed at night...

its a 45 gallon bow

I am currently working on getting my aquarium environment ready for a freshwater pipefish, currently the tank is stocked with a small school of peaceful fish, shrimp, snails, and many plants, I have added in java moss as well to make housing for cultivating planktonic organisms, I am wondering...

Hello everyone, So I am currently in the process of readying my tank to acquire at least 2 Freshwater Pipefish and due to their feeding requirements I am currently working on trying to culture, Infusoria, freshwater Rotifers, Freshwater Ostracods, Freshwater Daphnia, Freshwater Amphipods, and...

Alrighty thank you very much for your advice, we are going to be moving him to a 40 gallon long for fullsize when we get more room I am actually going to be posting a journal about the newt tank sometime soon.

thank you for the advice i have heard that I added in large snails and shrimp, I was thinking of adding in cherry shrimp though as a food stock would they cause impaction even though they are so small

Hello everyone, My Fiancee and I have just recently purchased a Spanish ribbed newt, he is currently in a moderately planted 20 gallon tank with a filter that is being displaced by a landing, The water temp is being kept at 70-71F, with a sand substrate and two different hiding zones and plenty...

So we added in another borneo sucker, this one is a chinese variety while the others we have a butterfly variety, he's become very friendly with our other two resident suckers, together they helped rid my aquarium of this bacterial build up on my aquarium glass which i learned was called...

Thank you for your suggestion My tank is currently 2 months old, I have actually just done a 50 percent water chance, changed the carbon filters, added in the weekly dose of stresszyme, removed the marine rock and scrubbed it clean without soap of the rust colored growth, going to let it dry for...

So I have this translucent slime film developing all across my aquarium glass you an really see it except for the little bubbles trapped around it, and I have orangish looking algae growing on my marine rock as well in the main tank, Is this something to be worried about? 

Today I added in one Bamboo shrimp and one Assassin snail, the assassin snail is a test since it was given to me by accident when the worker at the pet store gave me my Bamboo shrimp scooping up the shell of an Assassin snail in the process. I also have started a food tank, 2 gallons double...

I use a mixture of Super Naturals sand and Substrate, it works really well with the addition of liquid CO2, it really depends on your tank mates because there are some types of aquatic life that does much better with the presence of sand but its a very loose substrate so if you don't have a...

Last night we added in 4 Glowlight tetras and they immediately began to school with the Neon Tetras now the Tetra school being a size of 10 they seem to have calm down alot more and glide the radius of the tank at a gentle rate, with the introduction of the Glowlight Tetras Quickstart...

thanks :D
