we have 2 cats (Lucky and Spartacus). We will also be adding a male siberian lynx kitten to our family in a few weeks :thumbs:

a schoal pronounced school, is basically a group of the same species of fish that swims together.

XP3! Going from a marineland's complicated hookups, to the XP3 quick disconnect its like a dream. I have seen many people compare the xp3 to the 404 and i have never once seen one person in favor of the 404.

you should remove the baskets. I personally like to remove the excess foam media as well, but nothing that has root growth in it. Sometimes the baskets have a lot of roots growing out of them. As long as its not too much, it can be safe to just pull the plant out, but if there is a lot of...

are you sure he isnt just constipated. Sometimes when fish eat something that deems itself indigestible, it sort of "hangs" out before the whole thing has passed. Is your puffer eating still? What do you feed it? Maybe try feeding brine shrimp since they work as a sort of roughage.

I have always used canister filters. They give you more options with media and they are easy to clean. I personally use a filstar 3.

I feed my balas a variety of frozen foods. Balas get quite large and i dont think flake will be enough as they grow. Mine used to eat the hikari sinking wafers, but since have lost interest (which is sad because it was so entertaining to hear them making their loud clicking noises as they...

Well, from the day i first see them carying they eggs (which may not be the first day they have them) ive usually noticed mine having them for a week or so. Although one we *think* carried them for almost two weeks, we were never sure if it was just two that had eggs around the same time -...

well from your description the bala sounds like it has fungus. Here are some links that i hope will help you fishfarmacy.com notcatfish.com diseases pandorasaquarium.com

i have just one (although they do prefer to be in groups). He is about 5 inches long and VERY active...I plan on getting him some more friends after we upgrade our tank. I WAS gonna take a picture of mine, but then i realized it would be impossible because he moves around so damn much, and its...

Those are indeed eggs. If you watch closely the female holding them will use her little legs to move them around to keep oxygen circulating to them. I have a bunch of ghost shrimps and have seen them with eggs many times...BUT i have heard nothing but bad things about trying to breed them...

I bought two irridescent sharks from petco almost a year ago. At petco, they were listed as getting 8" max. I have since found out that this is wrong -_- Mine are both about 7 inches long right now and Ive given them plenty of room to swim around so they are very happy in their tank, BUT ive...

i feed my clown loaches cucumbers. Just buy these food clips from the petstore that have suction cups on the end and you attach the cucumbers to the aquarium. At first they didnt really show any interest in the cucumbers, but after a day or two they just started going crazy over them. Its...

ive had a blue crayfish (crayfish = freshwater/lobster = saltwater) for a long time now. I do not think one would do well with your other fish because he would fight with and eventually kill your shrimps, and because the water temperature for fish is different than that needed for a crayfish...

ive never heard of using vodka to kill a fish before...? We had to put a fish "to sleep" and I couldnt even think about banging its head on a counter or using a knife :crazy: SO i used the freezer method. I just put him in a tupperware bowl with water from the tank, put the lid on loosely...

The one addition to my tanks that I always regreted, was the addition of crabs. No matter how many modifications we made to our tanks, they always managed to escape somehow. I HONESTLY dont know how the last two got out, I mean we thought it would be impossible, but somehow they did it. One...

lemon tetras are schoaling fish. Often times when you get schoaling fish, but do not get enough for them to schoal (5+) you will usually end up with one of two results: 1) the fish will be super agressive/nippy to the other fish 2) the fish will fight each other constantly I would recommend...

I bought six of these silver tipped tetras from petco about a week and a half ago. Immediately i noticed a white line on one of their eyes and thought maybe it was an injury from being netted. Now, a week later, it appears to be a worm or parasite of some sort (although i am just guessing...
