I was pretty lucky, as I had just down water changes for the most part, and none of my tanks (not TOO many) are on a heavy bioload. The ones that were, I just babied and kept up with smaller water changer ( I have a 44g aging/conditioning barrel)... One of the LFS had a post about "USB and Batt...

The power company made the goal to have 90% up by midnight WED, they missed that mark! But now they say FRIDAY will have (almost?) everyone up and running....We'll see... They have a horrendous task, and some awful circumstances - Thank those people doing it for us all!!!!

I have been pretty lucky, some have not. I have great neighbors, and over all everyone has been pulling together. I was stuck in the middle of it, in my car, in 110MPH wind and driving rain. Part of tree had fallen on my car. my mantra for that almost (long hour) was ""Mother earth, protect...

What do you do for 5 days with no power and 37 fish tanks/tubs? You go OLD SCHOOL and set up digital camera (w/ batteries) and a LED flashlight, and film some guppies! Silly fishes, think they are getting fed! Not in the dark, never with no oxygen - filtration - Sorry FISHES! go gonna get...

If it was all based on cuteness, I being sincerely cute, NONE of us would have been brought home!!! LMMO

I have had bettas for years in various size containers and schemes. About 4 years ago, I had a 2.5gal betta hex tank, but decided to go to 10g,, ended up with 3 bettas in 3 10g tanks, nice little tanks mates (green tertas, khuli loaches, corys snails) ... many of my bettas in the past have...

They do not bother healthy plants, unless they are quite starved

Mystery snails live about a year. The fastest growing and those that SURGE are probably females.... males do not grow as large. This is something I put together for my facebook page RG Guppy 'I read a long time ago, they were called Mystery Snails, because sometimes they just disappear! LOL...

MTS is a real thing! Believe me, In DEC 2019, I was the proud owner of 4 aquariums, display communities..... 3-10gal and 1 -29gal... Plecos bred on their own, added a 55gal in Jan... a couple more 10s by FEB and 21 guppies from a breeders swap, 3 strains and some males but no females on another...

I can grow hornwort in spurts, same with duckweed! but water sprite or guppy grass, not much ..may be my water

My plecos being robbed by the F1 guppies boys!! LOL

I also never seem to have enough floating plants when I need them, I will have to think about pond supplies locally! I have a tank of platys (red wag and hifin variatus sunset and greens, some with mickey mouse markings. Red wags never seem to have babies!! I will have to gets some pics

Half Beaks? where did you find halfbeaks? I have been looking for a couple years * in Iowa

I had similar thing over the weekend with a Black Neon. also was often very pale in color. A "few" weeks or so a go (?,) maybe more, I was looking at pics of my tank from 4 years+ ago... in that pic, behind the betta, was a group of black tetras and 3 Ember tetras.... I realize how old they...

I am not dong my hobby for anyone but myself and the fish, not here to keep up with the Jones' .... I have guppies, and know I will never have ALL the cool looking stuff I see out there, but since I cant, I know I can see others, thanks to the internet, But, but seeing what is going on out...

I know there are differences with in the "breed" Bristle Nose pleco, as they are highly hybridized. But mine are not destructive or troublesome in that way.. I have mostly long fin type, but if they are tearing up and acting crazy, I would check mine for having enough hide outs and enough in...

Common pleco - terror after past being juvvie and no longer eat algae- This fish should be purged from the pet hobby. Never meant to be in a home aquarium Dojo - to hard on anything once they get size Oscars - Love hate them - wont keep them again ever - too large though lots of personality in...

I find it amazing that the BN pleco is tearing things up so bad! I had 7 plecs in a planted aquascaped 29g, they did nothing to tear things up.... when they started spawning, early, I moved the adults mostly to a 55g. Only reason I can think that yours is tearing up your tank is he is hungry

I think what you are seeing at LFS are just different color varieties , but from what I read above, love at the difference in the shape of the tail

My friend google said..... There are three species of paradise fish that are commonly kept in the aquarium. They look very similar and are distinguished by the shapes of their tails. Macropodus opercularis has a forked tail, Macropodus chinensis has a rounded tail, and Macropodus cupanus has a...

hey, finally got some vid of the rice fish!

I guess I just have to keep an eye out, and see if there are any to turn up in mine, bout the only way I will get them! hehehe Beautiful!

Moscows are awesome!! I got 2 pairs in FEB, black, lovely one male is bluer and i have some breeding plans to work on getting a deeper blue, without buying more breeding stock. I just sent my first fish to a guy in Arkansas, he should have them today, so will see if I will be shipping fish in...

Breeding live bearers to sell to LFS is not a money making thing. As already stated, unless you have something rather rare, they cant get it from a wholesaler, then that is a sellers market. If they want to buy it for resale, and are willing to pay you cash/check for your stock, then that is...

If you breed up some Mutt Guppies, No body bats an eye But if breed up some mutt puppies Some one out there wants you to die!

I am going back years, but I think I read somewhere on mollies, that the alpha/elder/dominate male get the color/markings and the look, herds around the female, juvvies (some males) and some lessor males, that have tried to blend in

If not soon. well best wishes..... BUT some one said to me once "Why do you think they are called Mystery Snails?" LOL
