    When Are Your Fish Most Active?

    Yes, they are most likely spawning. The males (which, yes, are smaller.) will chase the females and nip at their rear ends in an effort to get them to release their eggs. Once they are released, the males will then fertilize them as they fall. They will also eat any eggs they can get at.

    Longest-lasting Equipment

    My Aquaclear has been running for 4 or 5 years - it does get clogged, and the flow gets seriously reduced after a while, but I just have to clean it in a bucket full of tank water to get running like new again. I also have Whisper power filters - I'm not too fond of them. They always seem to...

    When Are Your Fish Most Active?

    How old are they? Perhaps they are spawning? I am not sure what time red-eyed tetras spawn at, but I know that's how they would do it. (Chasing each other like mad.) My fish are active all the time, except for at night, when they sleep.

    Is Six Unusual?

    I know this is off-topic, but does that sticker on your aquarium say "Get a Life?" :lol: (The420buzz?) Congrats on the fry. :good:

    Making An Aquarium Out Of A Plastic Bin?

    I know! This is awesome! I am still very happy! :D I AM STILL a little worried for some reason though. The recycling symbol is a 5, and I know 7 is not good, but I've heard 5 can be dangerous as well? (Most of these theories are just people over-worrying though.) It will be perfectly fine with...

    Making An Aquarium Out Of A Plastic Bin?

    Thank you very much! :good: Yes, this could be used for a permanent tank for any fish, as long as it is big enough. (Unless of course you guys are wrong about the toxins. You sure toxins aren't being released from certain plastics? Thanks!) I'm actually thinking of leaving this tank up...

    Help!

    From the sounds of it, that's normal. Zebra danios have a set of barbels, so they are actually little whiskers protruding from their face. http://nis.gsmfc.org/photo/Brachydanio_rerio.jpg

    Making An Aquarium Out Of A Plastic Bin?

    Hey guys. I got a couple mollies from the pet store, and I wanted to get them to heal any diseases they had. I don't have a quarantine tank at the moment, so I filled up a 1 gallon tank with some tank water from my 16 gallon fry tank. I monitored the water quality carefully, and though I did a...

    Well I guess it's not just on holidays, but sometimes I give them something just because it's holidays. :)

    Do You Give Your Fish A Treat On Holidays?

    I do! I give my little guys algae discs on Christmas! :lol: I know it's stupid, but since I can't think of how to say Merry Christmas to them, I just give them algae discs. :) When I had guinea pigs, I would make them a Christmas tree out of vegetables and fruits. :D

    Ufo/alien Sightings?

    Wow. That's so cool! :) I am far more interested in UFO's than I am in ghosts, though they are both interesting... I am a little surprised I have never seen a UFO though...

    Id This Snail Please!

    Hey guys! I found this weird snail in my 16 gallon fry tank, and he was pretty big... :unsure: It's shell looks clear when it's inside, like it's been eaten away by my water not being too acidic or something. It's body is spotted, and the snail is about the size of my pointer finger...

    What Do You Think Is The Most Hardy Fish

    I can't say danios. One somehow got sucked up by my filter and was dead a second later. I have no idea how that happened, but it certainly shouldn't have killed him. I'd say platys. Even if they do get diseases, they live for forever and a half! :lol:

    Fish Floating Around On The Surface Of The Water!

    No, but why would I put them out of their misery? They are just excreting white/clear worms. Everything else is fine. They are eating, having fry, etc.

    Found White Worms In Aquarium Water!?

    Water stats are fine. Ammonia & nitrite is 0ppm in all tanks. Nitrate ranges from 15-20 ppm in my tanks. Ph is a steady 7.5 (Or 7.4, it's between the two.) I clean 25% of the water once or twice a week. I siphon almost every time. (About 8-9 times out of every 10 cleanings, if that makes...

    Okay, because I had eggs in the tank and they didn't hatch. (Worms were with them.) Thanks.
