Quarantine or no quarantine: that is the question. Oh boy do I know from experience that one diseased fish can just about kill off an entire community tank. The problem was at the time I didn't know better. I had great luck in getting my community tank established, with cories, danios, and...

:hi:

@nik_n congratulations on winning. Your angelfish is unusual and very beautiful.

Watch the movie Godzilla [1998] with Matthew Broderick. Draw it out by feeding it, and when it shows up to eat the food, tell the military to open fire on it. But as it also shows in the movie where there is one, there are many, so then you have to call in a military jet to blow up your house to...

oh boy, These kinds of conversations are in their own way humorous. Human Beings have always changed the environment in which they live. There is an old story that you have never heard of. When the American continent was first discovered the King of England at that time wanted a tree count, so...

A while back I looked into aquarium chillers, on amazon, there is a good selection to study. Some are cheap while others are very expensive. There is a video on youtube where the DIY guy shows how he made a chiller by using a water hose and an old cheap frig. The kind you might find in a hotel room.

If you were a cat, what would you look like? Here is what I would look like if I were a cat.....lol.. d:D Utar the cat.

Brown algae or maybe Black Beard Algae, this stuff never went away for me and that was in the course of four years. I fought that algae the entire time and so I decided to just let it go. Here is a picture of the tank and what the algae looked like after I gave up on it. But after switching to...

I used Pool filter sand for years, and I really like it. But I have found one problem, algae. Pool Filter Sand is silicate and some algae species love silicate and will grow like crazy with a sand substrate. I never could figure out why I had so much trouble with algae until I figured that out...

Not sure, but I have read several articles on the internet about this virus causing the largest transfer of wealth in history. What that means is that a lot of small businesses will close and never reopen. This will allow the larger businesses to absorb these smaller businesses.

I set up Whatsapp on my computer by using Andy software. Andy is an android emulator. It was easy to do. After I installed Andy, it looks just like a smartphone on my desktop. Then from inside the Andy emulator, I downloaded and installed Whatsapp.

Can you use someone else's phone number to create an account online?

Things are almost back to normal for me. I finally got water back yesterday, but the pressure is really low.

lol I am beginning the think, after reading everyone's comments about their bettas, that Max is a bit slow in the head. When it comes to feeding time he misses the food. I drop a few pieces of his food near him, but he swims right under it and ignores it. So I drop a few more pieces in and leave...

Thanks Naugts, Thanks Colin_T This is the information I needed. Hope I get water back soon, but just in case I need to prepare for a longer time of not being able to do water changes.

In Texas, we have been dealing with a week-long freeze. Many of us are without electricity and water. I have electricity but no water to do water changes. I changed the water in my tanks on Sunday, the freeze hit on Monday. Today is Saturday and I am not feeling the pressure as of yet for my...

ok now don't laugh at me, but I don't know one Thrive from the other. So with Thrive Complete, I figured it had everything. So I used it and have had great results. Before I had been using Leaf Zone for a year but didn't get good results. Some plants did well with Leaf Zone while others did...

I use Thrive Complete, but I don't have any experience with shrimp.

I have not had experience with bottom feeders other than corydoras, but there are other types of loaches. Yoyo loaches comes to mind. But as Circus suggested that's all going to depend on your tank size.

I never have, but many here have ordered fish having them shipped to their homes. So I would have to say, yes it is safe but with caution. You need to do research on any place you have selected to order your fish. Once you have decided to order from a place then ask others if they have ever used...

Not sure that you can use my experience as a guide for using Thrive because I also have aqua-soil in my 55-gallon tank. I use Thrive every time I do water changes and my low-tech planted tank has gone crazy with plant growth.

I am so sorry to see your Pleco like that. I am trying to help you so I did some research. I couldn't find anything that describes exactly what I am seeing in the pictures, but this what I did find, which is what Colin_T was already suggesting for treatment. Website link and a different...

I wished I could help you with your Pleco, but I don't know enough about treating diseases, etc. I hope I don't offend you by saying, that a 10-gallon tank is too small for any size Pleco. When fish have to live in tanks too small for them, this causes them stress. Stress is the number one...

And they don't like to be stereotyped, because they consider it racism....lol.

Sometimes threads like this one can take on a life of their own, where different subjects beyond the OP's are discussed. That's is what makes it enjoyable and fun. Plus a person like myself can learn a thing or two.

I have been married three times so I have been insulted by the best...lol. I enjoy reading your comments. I am far from an expert on what to do about pollution.

Your welcome.

Think you for the link, I have glanced at it and bookmark marked for further study. So before I do comment on it, I need to understand it better. The reason I mentioned taxing is that it seems to me hearing about this in a past World's Climate Change Accords. But I could be wrong about that...

Beautiful tank. Maybe you should consider keeping this one up and running and setting up another tank to take the overload.

Welcome to the forum. I don't have a clue, but it looks interesting.

Glad to see it touch down without a problem. I am very interested in space exploration. Answering that age-old question, Is Earth the only planet with life? I hope I live long enough to find out.

Nope doubling up want hurt a thing, because I regularly use more than necessary, about twice the amount.

I use to have my ten gallon up and running and used an internal filter. Here is a link to the one I used on amazon..Aqueon 100106991 Quietflow E Internal Power Filter, Black,10 gallon. This one comes with hooks to hang on the back, or suction cups to install internally. I used mine underwater...

I haven't had a shower now in a week, yuk, and I am getting a bit ripe...lol. My fish are looking at me wondering when I am going to do some water changes. oh and you don't even want to know about my toilet problems.

The last thing I want to do is offend anyone. You show a chart, then you explain it and you did so elegantly. But you are doing the same thing here that is done by even the climate change scientist. Thinking through your own prism of reality and not taken in the real truth and reason as to why...

I agree we live close enough to each other. During Hurricane Harvey, I lost power and water for over a week. But at least I wasn't freezing my behind off in 15° weather.

I live out in the sticks right between Livingston and Cleveland. Driving on icy roads is scary, and at least twice I had to correct a slide while driving and I never got over 30 mph, even less on a few really bad spots in the road. What normally only took me about forty minutes to drive took an...
