Some info about guppies. If your going to purchase guppies and you actually want them to live for awhile, don't buy them from a store that sells them as "Assorted Guppies". The definition of "Assorted" means weak, inbred and they were born in a large trough with a billion other guppies. If they...

Yep $1,500.00. That's retail of course. The thing is with fish like this they are not bred in a fish farm. These things are actually captured from the wild. So, someone has to take a boat and scuba dive or net them with a large net to get them. Similar to the begining of "Finding Nemo". The...

I got a response to my email to the website suggested. It turns out they do have the fish I am looking for and I do plan on purchasing one. First I am setting up a totally new tank with the exact specifications that the fish requires. The one I have is fine with the makeup of my water but since...

Yep, it's one of three things. It's either fin nippers, poor water quality or stress. Fin nippers don't always strike when the light is on or when your watching. Many fish are night hunters. If anyone chases your gup around that you notice, that is more than likely your culprit. Even in a tank...

First of all, I would have brought that fish back to the LFS immediately. At the very least he should have taken it back and given you store credit. Also, if it infected your other fish the LFS should have given you the meds for nothing or at a discounted price. If they do nothing for you then...

Yes I am still watching all my posts, every night. This is a bizzare fish as you said. It is one of the most interesting fish I have. I checked out the link and it is the same fish. I don't think it is for sale though. It's funny they don't know the name of it though. I sent them the same link...

Unless your fish are acting poorly do NOT change your PH. If your going to do it, change it by using something other than PH chemicals. If your fish weren't acting poorly, changing the PH will make them act poorly. Maybe so poorly you will be scooping them out. Especially going from 8.5 to 7.0...

I have to disagree with some of the "Opinion" in these no no's. First I would like to add my own No No. Don't believe everything you read on the internet! Second, Not taking advice from people at LFS is a ridiculous and offensive statement! I would have to say use your best judgement. I would...

Nevermind, I took care of it on my own. I used Binox, while having him quarantined and he is showing many signs of improvement. It turned out he had a baterial infection. Since I pay very close attention to the behaviour in my fish I was able to catch it in time. A few more days and he can join...

A good ick medication and preventative is "Coppersafe". Do as directed and the ick will be gone and never return. Use it as a monthly addition to your tank but only do half of what it says once a month. However if you have snails don't use it, it will kill snails. To get rid of the fungal and...

Sorry about the paragraphs thing I just type and type sometimes. QUOTE Some fishes tolerate wide scale of water values naturally but some fishes don't. Adaptation to different kind of water takes hundreds if not even thousends years in natur - so it won't happen faster in your tank either...

This may anger some people but the fact is that PH in freshwater is a crock. Read this entire post before responding! Go into any REPUTABLE LFS where the owner really cares about his fish where all the tanks are clean and clear and the fish are healthy. Ask the guy what his PH is. He will...

Ive been on the lookout for one for quite some time as you can imagine. Hopefully someone on here will be able to help locate one. If for some chance I happen to locate a big pile of them for sale somewhere I will post my findings. I'm sure at their high price (just guessing it would be high for...

Everyone stumped? I didn't mention that it has been 5 days since he atcually ate anything. For a Scat that is very bad since they will eat ANYTHING including fishypoo hench their name. I don't feed him fishypoo but I hear they eat it. (sorry but it's a fact) So there is where my concern is, the...

As I said in my previous post he pretty much refuses nothing to eat regardless what the documentation says. He has his favorites but if it's in the tank floatinging around he will eat it. The other day a lady bug got into my tank and slirp it was gone. The current size of my fish is aprox, 18-20...

He eats just about anything I put in the tank for him. He will eat feeders, flakes, veggies, bloodworms, shrimp brine and he really likes ghost shrimp. The ghost shrimp don't even make it to the bottom of the tank and all that is left is a some feelers stuck to my sponge filter.LOL I try to...

I have this fish and he is the coolest thing I have ever seen. I got him from a friend of a friend. I would love to get another one but I cannot find one. It seems that no pet stores that I have went into have ever even seen one. Being new to this site I am unable to figure out how to paste...

I have a brackish tank with mainly Green, Red and Silver Scats. They are all different sizes. The greens are the biggest in the tank. I am having a problem with the second largest Scat. Usually when I so much as get up from my chair ALL of them rush to the front of the tank and do the "Fishy...
