looks great william!

I’ve noticed they like hiding when I’m in the room. If I sit on my couch so they can’t see me they start zipping around the tank. I’m not sure if they are nocturnal.

William, maybe you could consider getting an artificial tank until you are a bit older and feel more comfortable caring for fish. :) edit: here check out this link. http://www.brandsonsale.com/fake-fish-tank.html these fish wont die

:rofl: sorry guys but that was too funny

I agree with Angry and others. It makes no sense to cut up our animals be it for hunting or not and how many people here are hunters anyway? I had a dog with big floppy ears and a tail growing up (a mutt though) and she was just fine. We cut her hair as needed and bathed her, no big deal. The...

I still haven’t done anything with my dam cat. The other night he grabbed onto the skin between my toes and didn’t let go. It still hurts. Coincidently, a couple of days ago I ran into a cat person who gave me the number to a vet who will take any cat and gives yearly deals for those press on...

That’s a lot of fish for an un-cycled tank. Be sure to check out the pinned beginner facts and questions. http://www.fishforums.net/index.php?showtopic=88643 If you can’t return your fish to do an a fishless cycle I would do daily water changes if I were you and keep a close eye on your water...

I haven’t had experience with this type of thing either. The only time I ever noticed my fishes turning darker is when they get freaked out or when given a salt bath. This happened to a gourami of mine once. Either way, you should post your water specs (ammonia, ites, ates) so we can rule out...

The same thing happened to my banana plant. I think because i burried it too deeply.

If you already have two tanks you should be all set ideally. i don't know much about the clown plec, featherfin syno and 4 corys or how big they grow but my first guess is that they would be fine with an angel or two (not speaking for your syno as i don't know what that is). Why not keep the...

I actually have 10 neons in with my angels (bad gaya!). When the angels were small the neons were fine. But a year later the neons have taken to hiding among plants. In a different tank I have one angel in with three guppy girls. They have no problems…yet. My plan is to have one 30g just for...

Angelfish are lovely and very forgiving hardy fish ime. Ideally you would want a pair. When angels pair up they are so beautiful to watch and they are so kind with each other. I had something like 5 or 6 juvies. As they got older the males began to fight over the seemingly one female I had in...

You are obviously kidding i know but still. If you put five shoaling fish in a 20, 50, 90, or 200g tank they will find each other. I did not use the word happy but preference. This preference can be tested repeatedly to show the fish's choice. Why not give that a shot and see what your little...

I hear ya Black angel but looking at that thing makes me just want to remove it lol. I’m one of those people that can’t stand bumps, uneven nails ect. ice, I think your gonna need something stronger than melafix. Get out the big guns!

I agree with what the others have said. If your fish is the type of fish that would prefer a shoal then why deprive him of his preferences? It’s just a considerate thing to do imo. :)

Gosh that growth is big. Is there any way you could take him to a vet? I don't know if there is such a thing as fish vets.

I have a golden mystery snails up the whazoo if you're interested.

We were very lucky. My cats love to drink fish water but have no interest in the fish. We found out when we were about five hours from the house and of course drove like mad the entire time totally freaking out. Gosh my friend is an air head. He kept the 20 bucks too!

I actually paid a friend of mine to come check on my cats while i was gone last year and he couldn't figure out how to work the lock. Thank goodness my cats managed to knock the filter cover off one of my tanks to have access to water.

glad your fish are ok angry. I've left my fish for at least five days before and never had any problems. i only feed them once ever 2-3 days any way and find this works best. Most of my fish do nibble on my plants though.

awesome pics. i love the west coast. New England (where i am) beaches are so rocky.

There is no way to tell gender until/if they start to spawn. There mating tubes will protrude and it's located under their belly. The female tube is slightly longer than the males. I've found that males tend to fight more especially if they're fighting over a female. edit: if you have a...

Awe sorrell, you're so perty. :wub:

gosh i've been adding Fe!!!!! thanks

I brought it up because you mentioned that the fish just might be dumb. It made me think of people. They keep getting hooked over and over regardless of the consequence. They might still be getting the information to their brains that they are experiencing pain but they don’t plan ahead to avoid...

i've been meaning to get a phosphate tester but i don't have one. My water specs are always within range for ammonia, ites, ates, ph. I've always had problems with this specific tank. :( I have a planted tank right next to it that is flourishing. so frustrating.

That is a very good point snyirr. Think of how many humans consume food products ridden with chemicals like pesticides etc and don’t know the difference. Even when we’re give the knowledge of its harm (cuz it’s usually on the news from time to time) we still continue to eat it.

I've reduced the lighting significantly and i barely have any plants in the tank. Most have died but i would like to save the ones that are left. I haven't been overfeeding. I have an angel, 3 small clown loaches, 3 ottos and 3 gups in there. hmmm. the plants that are in there are potted or...

i have what seems to be a variety of hair algae. maybe it's not all hair, some of it looks like cobb webbing on plants. Has anyone tried the product algea destroyer by aquarium pharamceuticals? the bottle says it's supposed to be ok for fish and live plants.

that's a good idea 3fsh

I'm not saying that you shouldn't have an opinion about it, i've just seen it become a passionate topic in the past and have always been a little confused. I like that people care care regardless if they eat meat. it's better than nothin in my book edit: and btw i didn't mean to be a downer...

yea i know, which is why i was curious

I can understand why we would be concerned about how we euthanize our fish. Honestly I could never imagine a fish keeper who loves their fish to haphazardly discard their little buddies. We’ll all do our best to make their passing as easy as possible. And if some are capable of just abusing...

Question :) -why does it even matter if fish feel pain or not? It’s not like we’re gonna go out and torture our fish if they can’t feel it so what’s the difference? Why is this so controversial?

ok Sandusky i think i remember what you're talking about. my memory of threads is pretty poor though. it's all good :)

Did i miss something? Have you participated in this thread or are you snowyangel under a different user name? :huh:

You are certainly not starting ww3. It’s unfortunate that many fall prey to the CCF and it doesn’t even matter if the topic is peta or mothers against drunk driving or the other 20 odd organizations the CCF targets. They use people like bkk group for their own purposes and most are not...

Hmmm shall i take a wild guess that you googled and went to the CCF web site and/or one of their affiliates. That’s some thorough research there! Bravo. :lol:

I can only imagine the harassment they lay on the suppliers and distrubutors of aquababies and similar products. Makes me think of Bettamomma on steroids. :flex:

that's so sad ecto1 :( i'm sorry for your loss
