If I go to the next one in May and see some fire bellies I'll get the breeder's info and send it to you, if you want.

Did you put any water conditioner in the water before adding it?

If you can get to a Reptile Show/Expo you might find a breeder selling some (amphibians are often sold there). For instance, in Columbus we have the Ohio Reptile Show once a month & there are lots of breeders with atypical animals (such as sugar gliders, baby skunks & lots of various reptiles...

Thank you for all the good info everyone. I'll need to think about it.

I was wondering if anyone has kept Asian Stone Catfish (Hara jerdoni) and, if so, how much do you like them. I'm considering getting four. Thanks.

Duckweed is the herpes of the aquarium world.

I had my female betta ("Angel") in a 40 gallon community tank. She was very happy in there. She had been with those fish since she was a baby betta under an inch long. I never saw any aggression from her - in fact, she seemed extremely peaceful. However, every now and then I would have one...

CORRECTION: "Wild caught" IS indicated on their website. That was my oversight.

I've seen some plant sites that say low light set-ups will cause the plant to grow vertically & that you need higher light to create horizontal growth. I don't know. I'm not that good with plants.

That's excellent. Waterfalls are always a popular feature in poison dart frog vivs, but many people have problems & the equipment is usually inaccesible or hard to access. Basically, plenty of dart frog vivs have waterfall features that don't work, but you've solved that problem!

Interesting. I have this issue in both my 40 galls - one has fine gravel & one has sand.

Well, at 13 you're better than I am at 52. :)

I have the same problem OP. Mine don't carpet, more like "flying carpet". They grow straight up and don't spread horizontally. I think it's lack of strong light.

I was just reflecting on our games when we were both bachelors, which usually ended around 4am. Love your paratrooper mod. We also added our own mods. It's the perfect game for us because I usually lose and my friend is a sore loser.

A friend of mine and I have played A&A for about 25 years. Twenty years ago he made a hand-painted board the size of a dining room table. For his 50th birthday I hand-painted about 600 A&A pieces. Here's a small sampling (in retrospect, I wish I had taken close-ups).

If you ask it for the most popular costume for Halloween 2021, it explodes.

I wonder what it would say if you asked it to solve a country's problem, school shootings for example. (Not to be morbid - I'm a teacher and that is on my mind.)

I just have to say I got to use the "interesting" emoji.

Great information from both of you, thank you. The Latin name on the order matches the fish I intended to buy. I was initially concerned for two reasons: 1. The common name from the seller was "Gold Clown Barb" - which is a different species. I didn't notice the common name until I saw the...

Are Pethia Gelius and Pethia Gelius Dwarf two different types of fish? I've seen them under a lot of common names with the above scientific names: Golden Dwarf Barb, Gold Clown Barb, Gold Barb, etc. Thank you for any help.

The only problem with assassin snails is that you go from tons of bladder snails to a bunch of assassin snails.

That was fantastic and adorable! I've taught 1st grade for 22 years and that's the cutest concert I've seen!

What a great life your bird has. I wanted to get a bird, but I would feel bad if they were trapped in a cage all day. As the comdeian Brian Regan says about birds in cages: "Gee, thanks, I appreciate the environment. I know how to fly, I'M STANDING ON A STICK!"

Puffers are cool. Or perhaps crayfish or crabs.

I don't use artifical plants & I try to create a natural looking tank. I've been snobbish towards day-glo gravel/plastic plants, but @wasmewasntit makes an EXCELLENT point. He's made me rethink my beliefs.

I personally like it a lot. I have the opposite problem: I try to make wild, natural scapes and they come out looking cohesive. Symmetry could be one way of making it look cohesive - or perhaps tighter grouping of plants.

Byron is an expert, so his opinion carries more weight, but I would personally return them to the LFS. Since the neons behavior is environmental (not enough fish) rather than physiological, it should improve when they are in a large school. I've never heard of this. Is this from a scientific...

I think it's really cool looking. :)

Maybe you could email the seller to find out exactly what they were being fed & it'll entice them to eat.

Here's a joke one of my 1st graders told me: Why does a duck have tail feathers? To cover it's butt quack. Right afterwards, one of my other 1st graders made up her own joke with a similar set-up - resulting in an innocently inappropriate joke that was hilarious but that I shouldn't post here.

You don't need supplemental CO2 for many plants. If you go on an aquarium plant store website many of them will indicate CO2 & lighting requirements. I always choose plants that have low lighting requirements & don't need extra CO2. Aquarium Plants Factory has always sent me great plants...

I love sharks too & "fighter jet" is right on the money. Nurse sharks can also lay sedentary on the bottom. If I had the space & money, I would have black-tip reef sharks (my favorite). Went snorkeling in the Bahamas once with reef sharks.

Interrupted by an annoying roommate... Scarlet Badis Video

I boil the driftwood for around an hour. Then I soak it in a sink with the hottest water possible - draining and refilling every few hours. It usually takes 2-3 days to get all the tanins out. I can't speak to safe glue - I just use fishing line to tie moss around driftwood until it attaches...

Plate tectonics is not political - saying global warming doesn't matter is inherently political (at least in the U.S.). It's pretty strictly divded down party lines. The earth is not going to destroy itself - even with massive earthquakes. Think of how many earthquakes must have occurred when...

That's a shame.

Martin Luther King was born "Michael King". His name was changed by his dad after a trip to Germany, where he learned about Martin Luther.

I have a species tank of scarlet badis and they breed a lot. Females are extremely hard to find anywhere. I had 2 in the beginning, but now have 5 when fry grew up. So, if you are able to get some females, they breed easily and without induction or interference.

I've never played the game, but I love the show. Superior to "The Walking Dead" - better characters & writing.
