It seems to me that Petco wanted to pick up on the popularity of Petsmart, but in doing so forgot to set up an adequate training program or healthy enviroment. They need to stop selling animals and just sell animal supplies. Valerie

Petco has been trying to cover up their mistreatment of animals, but many employees and customers have spoken out against them. Many animals, especially birds who are very emotionally sensitive, are taken from their mothers at breeding mills and sold, unweaned, to Petco. Petco doesn't provide...

Any closer and we'd be the fish. :lol: But really, you've got great looking fish. Even the one-eyed fish. :) Valerie

I accidentally got a Sailfin pleco that grows huge, but I'm pretty sure that there are some plecos that only grow 4 or 5 inches. I'm not sure what kind, though. :/ Valerie

I do water changes every week. And 13 is too much for a 10 gallon. Valerie

I think using a pure source of ammonia is dangerous. If you want to do a fish cycle, get some zebra danios or some platys. Valerie

There's plenty of tiny cichlids to choose from: Checkerboard cichlid Ram Krib Blue eyed cichlid Brown Julie Daffodil Lemon cichlid :nod: Valerie

You might have enough space for a pair of kribs. But beware, they make a lot of babies. Valerie

You put your betta in a vase? :no: Valerie

You should check your water conditions if your fish are starting to die. Valerie

Go with a Penguin or an Emperor bio-wheel filter. Valerie

:lol: That little clown loach looks as big as a cichlid. Valerie

Salt is very important with mollies. Valerie

Here's my question about evolution; if we evolved from monkeys, then why are there still monkeys?! :blink: Valerie

If your female to male ratio is 2 to 1, this probably won't happen. The male might want to mate and the female is chasing him off until he dies of stress. That's my guess. I'd say you need to get another female. Valerie Edit: Make sure your water conditions are good. The female might be...

:lol: only as food. Valerie

The crabs are definitely at fault. 3 crabs can do a lot of damage if a fish is tiny and slow, or even just sleeping. You can move the crabs to a species tank or maybe have the pet store take them back, if they will. Valerie

You can also use cheese cloth with a rubberband. You can find it at almost any fabric store. Valerie

I can't seem to forget that these fish are produced around where they make horses fight each other for sport. :angry: :no: Valerie

I absolutely love eels, but I'm afraid that there isn't an eel small enough to fit in a 29 gallon tank. I would buy this eel a long time in the future so that he would have the whole tank to himself. Are there any small eels or am I just getting my hopes up? Valerie

Some people like to quarantine new fish, but I think this is just more stress. Just float the fish in the bag they come in for 30 minutes to an hour then net them out into the water. Don't add any of the bag water, it might have disease. Valerie

Looks like an underwater forest. :D I like the rock formation on the left. Pretty fish. Valerie

You really only need a quarantine tank if you have a fish that is sick and you have to isolate them for medication purposes. Taking the fish out when you vacuum really isn't necessary, not to mention really stressful on the fish. :( Also, replacing water daily and every other day is also very...

Don't add a pure source of ammonia. It's extremely dangerous for the fish. If you don't want to start with neons, start with some zebra danios, platies, or black mollies. Take into consideration that black mollies need some salt added to the water. Add fish at intervals. Since most starter...

I'd have a fish vet take a look and see what he thinks. Maybe there's some kind of fish laxative. :X Valerie

I hated my liquid tests, I could never get an accurate reading. I use the dipstick tests. Mardel 5-N-1 test kit is great. Valerie

Live plants will always help keep the water in good shape, but they can also carry parasites and snail eggs or babies. Some fish will also eat plants if you don't give them vegetation from another source. Look into what fish you have to see if they're plant nippers, then decide. Valerie

Hopefully, the marble will pass through the digestive track and be able to just plop out the other end. If not, he might begin to get noticeably fatter and become very constipated. :no: Valerie

Very cool atmosphere with the light and all. I, too, like the underwater flowers. :D Valerie

I used to have the exact same broken pottery. Weird. Like the tank. :thumbs: Valerie

I didn't do a fishless cycle. I started with the two platies and a cup of mature gravel. It's been up for about a month. Everything's been great up to now. Valerie

I was testing my water today and I noticed that the nitrites and nitrates are a lot higher than normal and everything else was lower. My readings were: Ph-6.4 Alkalinity-around 40 ppm Hardness-250 ppm(the same, actually) Nitrite-10.0 ppm :o Nitrate-around 20 ppm I'm suprised my fish are still...

Oh, what a sweety. He's adorable. mrv, that is the cutest little puppy! Valerie

Oh, how cute. Just want to squeeze those cute little ears. Valerie

I've never seen a pretty speckled platty. Looks nice. Valerie

That is some great color on that pleco. Good job, Wet. Valerie

I'm a plastic plant person. Mostly because my crayfish would eat any real plants. Looks good, Tanked. :nod: :thumbs: Valerie Edit: Like the red rock building. It's cool.

Oh, I'm so jealous. I love Red-tailed Catfish. Absolutely gorgeous fish. Valerie

The betta I bought was actually intact. You usually can't find females as much as males for two reasons; first, males are considered more attractive. Two, some people might want to breed them and not take the female out of the tank with the male. The male kills the female after they breed...

U.S. and proud of it. :D :nod: Valerie
