I am soooooooo discouraged and not sure what to add with my bumblebee (Maylandia Crabro) and my Socolofi- I returned my peacock today because he was just constantly harrassed (poor little guy) I have to say though he was so happy to be back in that full tank at the lfs his fins were just all...

ok think i figured them out - ob peacock, powder blue (socolofi), and a bumblebee. Now next ? I have is - the powder blue and bumblebee are both mbunas, and the ob peacock is not - will this pose a problem? the peacock is constantly harrassed by the bumblebee and I am getting a little nervous...

Ok purchased 3 african cichlids today and that is all I know about them - they are african cichlids. One of them is orange and black marbled with white spots on all his fins, the other is black and orange striped, and the other one is a very very pale blue in color (almost looking white in the...

ok guys- went to the lfs today to get ammonia and what not to start cycling - got a couple of large box filters to add to the power filter that came with the tank so I should have great filtration. He does not carry any of the fish (except for barbs, clown loaches and plecs) that Vip suggested -...

Love your ideas Vip - looked up some info on the net about the fish you recommended and 1 question - everything I have read so far says that the convicts are aggressive - where as the blue acara and the severum are good in a community of their size - the tiger barbs get to be only about 2"...

ya - I think I am definitely going with the fake plants. How big do clown loaches get?

Ok went out tonight and bought a 55 gallon fish tank but very undecided about what to put in it so I need lots of suggestions! still new to the whole fish thing but getting more addicted by the minute! I am undecided as to do a community type tank or a cichlid type tank. I am very intrigued by...

I was lured into the bright colors of the glass fish - they are painted glass tetras - they were beautiful in colors - neon greens, pinks, blues, yellows, orange. Only after I bought them I found out the were dyed :grr: Yes the colors are straight along the back of the fish as well as some...

Been giving that ALOT of thought - one of the first questions I always get is- are you online? I do not have a site YET - but I am sure that is only a matter of time. Just gotta work out all the details with shipping costs and finding a web host and web building info. I also need to make sure...

:kewlpics: You are a very gifted photographer, quite an eye for detail! Love biscuit and the crab - not so crazy about the snakes but they are very photogenic! :D Keep snapping shots with your cam - you got some talent there :cool:

How many bones have you broken? Alot of the guys that work with my fiance either race, have raced, or have kids that race. One guy was racing and dumped it, broke a few fingers and I think cracked a rib, got back up and finished in 3rd anyway. I am thinking that is a little to extreme for...

Love the photos! It is a very picturesque countryside! You are very lucky to live in such a gorgeous location!

Gorgeous Dogs! And Gorgeous Cat! I have no doubt in my mind that the cat is ruler of the house!!.... :nod: They have a tendency of doing that huh? I have right now 7 cats and 1 dog (Lord Help Me!) and there is 1 male out of the cats that rules the roost!

That is a pretty cool hobby - pretty pricey to though huh?

ok forget it .... anyway I think your getting a little to ahead of yourself here. I was advised to only introduce 3 new friends a week into the tank - remember this is their home - you dont want to invade it with a whole lot of strangers. Also Sylvia suggested that you should continue to...

Dont know how to quote - ummmmmmm hmmmmmmmm what does this button do??? I will get it um lemme try again.... :lol:

lol... I dont mind the questions - I get them all the time :D I got started when a close friend of mine sent me a basket weaving kit. I was self taught and my first basket took me about 6 hours I think......lol (and it was a fairly small basket) I unwove and wove and unwove and wove.....lol...

Thanks guys glad you like them!! I am located in Maine

Here is a close up pic of one of my favorite baskets, it is also one of my best sellers.

I hope these pics are ok.....never posted any before. I weave baskets and have been doing so for about 2 1/2 years now. Back in November I had an open house at my house for my baskets. It went super I sold 34 baskets and only 18 people showed! Picture of open house

YVW! :D Hope all goes well for you - keep us posted.

Just found this on a site and thought I would post it for you: Begin treatment with an Ich medication such as RidIch+ by Kordon that contains malachite green and formalin in combination. RidIch+ contains a less toxic form of malachite green that works synergistically with formalin to safely and...

They are gorgeous pets - but LOUD!!! get ready cause the sun conure is the loudest of the conures I believe. I had one and it was so loud if I was on the phone and he would screech the phone line would literally cut out! They are a pet that needs LOADS of attention- if you do not have time DONT...

wendy - I asked my lfs if i could use full strength aquarisol because I do have a cory - he did say that it was fine. My cory is doing super with it. Here is a question for someone - it is advised to remove the carbon during treatment, however aquarisol can be used as prevention once a week -...

sounds like you are in the same situation as me :( The advice I have received is this - treat the tank and do water changes. You need to leave your filter running but take out any carbon that you have in the filter - with the cartridge cut it open and shake out the carbon, then put it back in...

awwww Poor Max! :( He is a gorgeous dog - looks alot like my moms dog hers is a mix choc lab/ springer spaniel. I hope Max is doing better soon, and tomorrow he gets the bandage off and it will be like he was never hurt! Well wishes to you and Max! :)

I do not know how to determine the sex - but you better figure it out quick huh?..... :lol: You know I was told a story once of someone mistaking a cat as male instead of female - then she came home with a litter of kittens - oopsy??? Too funny have fun with your new little babies!!! :D

Thanks guys! The filtration that I have right now is a box filter and an over the side cartridge filter. I have since then found another LFS whom seems to be trustworthy, the one who told me all about cycling (after it was too late.....lol) but when I went into his store and told him my setup...
