Cool! I have four in a 55-gallon long. If your crab is crawling out you will need to patch the hole to keep him from getting hurt. What's his name? :)

Yes, he hasn't eaten MUCH since Friday; I put my hand in his tank to pet him and accidentally knocked some stale pellets (about three) from the top. Tomorrow I'll try feeding him a pea; he loves to eat an will do anything to get his food :)

Cool. I bet your'e going to have a lot of fun naming them all. :)

Persia seems to be doing much better. His tummy has evened out and he's swimming normal. When should I feed him again?

Hi everyone. My hermit crabs have been having problems lately. I have four purple pincher crabs (Pinches, Jo-Jo, Tracy, and Karmin) that I recently moved from a 10-gallon terrarium to a 55-gallon long tank. They have a nice cave to hide in and live on eco-complete substrate. Two of them have...

Oh, okay. Thanks!

Here's something I found, it might help you out. :) http://www.dwarfcichlid.com/Apistogramma_borellii.php http://www.seriouslyfish.com/species/apistogramma-borellii/ http://badmanstropicalfish.com/profiles/profile151.html

Maybe this year or sometime next year (probably next year) I am going to finish and try to publish some books I am currently writing about Mystery snails, aquarium fish, hermit crabs, etc. And with the money, if I have enough and space permits, I am going to get a 150-gallon (or a 200+ gallon if...

So after seeing this video and some others with different fish, I was thinking about parrot cichlids. And so I was wondering if they would get along with convict cichlids, as I have seen them in the same tanks before without any signs of fin picking or scale damage. Here are some more questions...

I live in North Carolina. And hermies are hermit crabs. :)

Welcome to the forum! I'm sure you'll love it here. Can you tell us about your tanks?

Bettas are so smart! I once had one that would come out whenever a harmonica or guitar was played outside his tank, and now I have two who are so personable. One, Moscow lives with guppies and danios and the other won't tolerate any other fish in his tank. They are the only fish I know with such...

Good to hear!

Yes, a pic or video would help to diagnose what's wrong with your fish and what you can do to help him.

I think a mangrove would be the best for semi-aquatics as their roots are really cool and they are used to aquatic settings. Good luck! :)

Hi everyone. I might be getting some coquina clams soon. I already know that they are going to be a challenge to care for, because they can't get enough food in a reef tank, but I was thinking about keeping them in a shallow tank with some oysters or sltwtr. snails. I'm going to hand-feed them a...

Hi everyone. When we were little me and my brother dug a big hole in clay dirt in our yard. Every year, sometimes three times per year, the hole fills up with rainwater and runoff and is home to crayfish (wild white creek crays) and bullfrogs; sometimes water bugs and once I found a huge red...

My newest tank is cycling, and I just finished adding the substrate (stupid me thought it was going to be a bare-bottom tank but I later decided to use sand substrate) and a some cool rocks for caves.

Welcome back!

Have you checked your parameters lately? What are they?

I agree. Euthenization might be the best thing for him.

They simply make the water a little darker so the bettas feel more comfortable breeding.

They are eggs; probably snail eggs. They'll hatch soon and overrun your tank. Scrape them off gently with a plastic card and and put them in a jar in a warm place and see what they turn into. What fish do you have? It may be fish eggs but I don't really think so.

Okay, I'll try that. Thank you!

Hi everyone. My betta, Persia, has a really big belly because he ate too much. I feed him regular portions (cut down when I noticed his huge belly), about four pellets a day, but he has been snacking on efts and guppy fry and all kinds of stuff. I am moving him to a 4-gallon bowl with a sponge...

How about Koi?

Hi everyone! Sorry if this is in the wrong section. Anyway, I want to get some convicts and I don't know how to care for them or what other fish I can keep them with. What do I feed them? Do they need a special food or can I just feed them tropical flakes and bloodworms? Can I keep them with...

I simply love little plecos and they'll be wonderful for my other tanks once they start breeding. I can give/sell for a very low price any extras to my LFS as they are a small shop with only one or two locations.

Well I was thinking about getting a pair of Albino BN plecs in the next couple weeks; I don't have access to Malaysian driftwood; will maple or crepe Myrtle work? Also how do I breed them?

Okay, I'll keep that in mind. About how many gallons would the tank have to be, and what kind of wood for grazing?

Okay, I think my LFS does have cherry barbs. Thanks so much, I was having a hard time deciding!

Happy birthday to: Persia (shown on my Avatar), Moscow, Blaze, me, and Olivia!

The male betta that I'm going to breed is shown on my avatar. I can post some more pictures, if needed. The female has not been added/gotten yet. And as for the fry, I have a 55-gallon I can divide up for them once the weather warms a little. I'm going to feed them crumbled-up fish food in...

Good luck with your shrimps!

Okay; good to know, because I might would have gotten some of those. What common fishes (available at Aquarium Outfitters or other stores) would do well with them?

Oh, sorry! I meant clown barbs, not clown loaches.

Sorry for so many compatibility threads! Can guppies be housed with killifish, African ropefish, or clown loaches?

I do to; we all should. :)

I don't really care what colors they are. :)

Well I wanted to have that many so I could have a collection of all the colors and breed them. Thanks again!
