Almond leaves? Will other kinds of leaves work, I have plenty of trees around here with the yard/garden full of leaves right now. Oak tree leaves plus a few others I can't name.

This person found a way to eat while wearing masks, I gotta try this....lol... :clap:

I found one thing hard to do with a mask on and that is pick your nose.....oh well we all have to sacrifice a bit don't we.....:no:

Thank you, he is so tiny, is he a full grown betta? I figured betta to be a at least one and half times his size. He looks to be only about an inch and a half tale and all. Also I figure him to be a bit pale and thinking it is his ordeal of being in new water and tank. Maybe he will color up a...

The second day and Max is still with me, he is alone in that big 29 gallon tank, I was relieved he is still alive after the ordeal of living in that nasty cup, traveling forty miles home form Petsmart. I jumped the gun introducing him into my tank water here at home. I didn't drip acclimate...

Well haven't had a good panic in awhile but now thanks to Max I just had one. So I but him in the breeder box for the night, well he got out of the box and disappeared. I was beside myself trying to figure out how this little betta could jump out of this box. I did a quick look around the tank...

Welcome to the forum where ramblers are welcome...just kidding, lot of really great people here so you are in the right place. Edit, I just got a betta tonight Max but I am going to wait for a day before trying to feed him. But when I do I will be feeding him frozen, but thawed brine shrimp...

Well I swore I would never have a Betta, but hey I just can't say no to an eight year old little girl. Yep my grand-niece and I went to Petsmart together late this evening and she saw this betta, flashed her blue eyes at me and said, "Can I please have Max, she had already named the darn...

Again.... Arrow Roulette Go Wrong or be careful who you pick on when playing catch with tennis balls.....lol...:big_boss:

@Colin_T I need to check to see if the people still have the dog. I am thinking they got rid of it, but not sure. Maybe they tied it up or something because I have not seen in for a week are so.

You have never had fun until you have played Arrow Roulette. I drank beer and ate skunk last night. And today when I went to feed my fish they jumped completely out of one tank and into another to get away.......:beer:

I agree about Colin_T and Byron. For me I am here to fill in space...lol...but some have considered me to be the plucky comic relieve who is always searching for the Holy Grail and getting in trouble with the ladies who lit the Grail Shaped Beacon. But in the end you know I am just kidding...

I still have Sadie and Roscoe, I want to wait until I have a bigger fenced in area on my property before getting any more.

Not yet because I live on a fixed income and end of the year expenses hit me pretty hard, taxes, new tires for truck, Christmas, etc. But I will be saving up for a few months to do so. Thank you for the replies.

Here is not my first, but so far my favorite place to hang. And hey spongebob is awesome, he is a great actor with a wonderful since of humor........lol.....:)

Sorry about not responding sooner. The last time I saw the dog was when I was walking my dogs. Let me setup the scenery for you to get a better idea of what I am talking about. I don't live on the neighbor's street, My road runs behind their house two blocks away. Their dogs have to cross...

I am a fan of fantasy movies and Lord of the Rings / The Hobbit are top notch. But I have not done much more than enjoy the movies, which I have watched the entire series more than once. During this time of lock downs and such I am watching a lot more movies. I risked showing the move clip for...

Not sure what you mean, I had no ulterior motive. Really I don't give two shakes about the channel, it is all just for fun. I mean if I wanted to start a channel like for that, I would do a running in place video, like moving without moving, or folding time and space, now that would be something...

My Favorite Scene in the Movie....Warning Movie Spoiler.

@Colin_T - Hang in there you have a friend in me. Although years ago I had came close to ending it all I stopped and thought it can only get better from here. When I posted that I had intended it to be funny, but I did worry about how it would effect someone else. Sorry to bring up bad memories...

During this pandemic and all the lock downs I got depressed and called the suicide hotline. I must have gotten the wrong number because I put on hold. Then I was transferred to a number in Pakistan. When I told them I was depressed and might commit suicide they got all excited and asked me if I...

Sorry to hear about the panda cories. I have considered ordering fish over the internet, but decided to make do with what I could find locally. I live within two hours of the further est places for aquarium fish shopping in Houston. One of my favorite places to shop is Fish Gallery, although I...

I have found UV lights help with algae, when I start have algae problems I turn on the UV light and in a couple of weeks the algae clears up. You can get UV lights for tanks that small like this one.... click here. But you must be careful with the light, it can hurt your fish. You can get UV...

On a different note and talking about different substrates. I have been using pool filter sand for years now, I have only used BDBS for a short period of time and same with pea gravel. For me and it is just my personal choice of course I have found I like pea gravel over the other two choices...

Yes sand does allow for cories more natural feeding by sifting sand through their gills. But mine don't seem to be starving, and look really healthy from my point of view. I also do realize that some gravel is sharper then other, so I can possibly see why it might damage their barbs, but at the...

When I set my new 55 gallon tank up with a pea gravel cap I worried about what the gravel would do to my cories' whiskers. I had watched a youtube video a few years back showing and talking about gravel damaging or not damaging cory's whiskers. A few videos were showing damaged whiskers, but I...

Your welcome, very helpful little program and easy to use.

Here is a really easy to use program that I have been using for years. Some of you might already know about this, while some don't. So I figured it was worth posting for those that don't. Convert

I am going to say something that is very unpopular and will put me in a bad light, but here goes. Fish get sick and die, so do people. That is a fact of life. If you have one fish in a school and others are good, get rid of it. If you have many that get sick then do something. All these...

People actually chat with each other....who knew... :ring:

Very nice tank, welcome to the forum.

You just can't learn all this stuff in a short amount of time, it will take you a couple of years at least. But you will learn it well enough and become a good shepherd of fish keeping, so stay in there. I just wished there where more people like you working in the pet store industry, those that...

I don't know why anyone would be surprised about this. Tiger Barbs are very aggressive, that is a know fact. They are not community fish, but same for many other species from Bettas to Oscars. That's why I don't mess with any of these species, Angels can be aggressive but I love my Angels so I...

Welcome to the forum. Now let me warn you about MTS (Multiple Tank Syndrome), you will get it so there is no avoiding it. We all have it....lol... :fish:

Thank you for the reply and the info. I don't know I have yet to make up my mind what I want to do here. This tank is a 29 gallon and only had it setup since 11-16-2020. At first I had used Black Diamond Blasting sand as a substrate cap, but found it was to fine of a grain and to hard on plants...
