Thank you.

So our 9 yr old Tortie lost her appetite Sunday. She has been to a Vet on and off all week and yesterday she went to an ER vet which performed an ultrasound and found what maybe a lymphoma. Samples were sent out to pathology but results wouldn't be in until next week. Meanwhile last night at...

I agree, good call on your part. You can only sell them the fish...what they do to the fish once they leave your property is entirely on the buyer. If they're not putting the fish in the right water conditions and the fish wind up dying, it's no fault of your stock. Reminds me when I sold a 75...

Today I pulled out 90% of my 12+/- year old anubias from the 119 eel tank and rearranged some driftwood and caught the eels from the 125 and got them in the 120. We also added 2 more angels and 10 paleatus corry. We wanted a larger Corey but we didn't really want to have anything shipped to...

Loki made bladder snails...S/he is the god of mischief after all.

Planaria traps and patience, LOTS of patience...

Here's what I did years ago with my shrimp tanks. The video is 8 years old in our other house. The camera was a Cannon Rebel so focusing was a bit tedious. Tanks were taken down when we moved and never set back up.

Hengeli rasbora may also work. Any of the boraras species, ember tetras, green neon tetras, small cocia species of bettas...just keep in mind that they may predate on baby shrimp if they can find them so having some mossy areas for the shrimp to hide in is a good idea.

Prime and Safe have a special smell. Have used both for over a decade without any issues. Matter of fact I just bought some more Safe after using 2 smaller containers for over 6 years and our last house had over 25 aquariums/stock tub from 5 gallons to 325 gallons with weekly WC of 30-50%...

So haven't had a chance to do any of the above for the 120s or 125. It's ok I'll either do it after work or Saturday. So Sis knows an eel wholesale who had a large Borneo eel like Kregory so we decided to add it to our collection and she should be here Wednesday. Turns out that with these...

So final count is 2 surviving angels. Sis found 3 of the four bodies. I am not 100% loving the way the tank has settled so I am going to pull out some DW and I think the majority of not all of the anubias. As the anubias doesn't have another home I will take them to Fish Planet and maybe get...

You can use hardware store play sand in an aquarium it just needs extra rinsing as it can be dusty. It's a less expensive option. Like I said the bag says collected locally and may have salt in it which isn't good for freshwater, and the addition of calcium will increase pH, the bag does give...

So do you have another tank? If you do have another tank suitable for the gold gourami I would temporarily move him/her into that tank for maybe 3 to 5 days. Rearrange the original tank a little bit and do a WC, then move him back in after the brief timeout. Now the tank is brand new and so he...

Is it silica sand or aragonite or crushed coral? Silica is ok, aragonite will give you hard water by release Ca+ and is good for African cichlids and coral is for saltwater or brackish tanks as it does the same. This results in hard water and higher pH which isn't suitable for all freshwater...

Unfortunately the angels we got were from Aquarium Adventures are apparently of bad stock as of the 6 we purchased only 3 are currently visible in the tank with 1 confirmed body found. My royal platinum Xingu pleco Lokii has gotten comfortable enough to move out of her original spot under a...

You have too many plecos in a tank that small...36ish US gallons. I would strongly recommend removing this one as well as the Bala sharks that can get to excess of 8" as adults. One of those fish I don't think stores should be able to sell. To remove 160ppm nitrates you will have to do...

Yes, we have a little girl (you can sex them by their faces) and she is a lot of fun to watch as she moves, so different than other fish, hovering like a UFO or USO, lol.

Clown plecos ( panaque) are a nice option. They stay small 2-3" and like to be in groups. I have 6 in my 125 gallon right now, but 4 of those lived in a group of 5 in a 75 gallon. They eat wood, well the aufwuch that grows on the wood amongst other things like pleco wafers and other catfish...

So the eels were active this morning too Mrs Bean Venom the unicolor fire eel juvi Kregory our Borneo eel, front and back :thumbs: There are 2 other eels in the tank as well, m. Maculatus. Wasn't able to get a photo of them Today, but here is one from a couple days ago. Originally Venom...

Yes, they eat invertebrates and are relatively shy unlike a clown knife that gets to be huge and will go after anything that can fit in its mouth.

So I added some fish to the 125 and 120 this weekend. For the 125 I added 10 Venezuelan corry I had 2 leftover from before There's and adult with one of the new juvis. In the 120 I got a Xinu platinum royal pleco 7" female She has found her nook. We also added a 5" black ghost knife and 6...

Thanks Tom.

Unfortunately he didn't make it...RIP Thor.

My poor royal panaqueThor hurt himself and has developed what I believe is a fungus. We pulled him out of the 125 and he is sitting in a 20L. That we dosed with Paraguard. I think when I pulled him out with the driftwood and he sat in a black tub he got too close to the heater. We had another...

The only time I've kept them in groups is when I've had one male and three females. Males are aggressive so they will pick on other males in the tank, in my experience.

We were in PetSmart in November and noticed that they were having sales on their 125 gallon tanks. The two tanks they had in the store was ridiculously cheap and upon further inspection I noticed the reason why they were so cheap was that each tank had a good chip of glass missing both of tthe...

Sitting at a toasty -7F with a " feels like -16" from AccuWeather. NOT at all looking forward to working this week as the area I work is not connected to any AC or heating. We have two space heaters but I know our refrigerators will be warmer that the Pharmacy until probably 2 or 3 pm. When...

So ammonia test had a hint of green so everyone is staying in the 125 until the weekend. Will test again Tuesday and see what it says.
