I'm not concerned lol, not about Jasmine anyway. If I don't watch her, she'll eat garbage or raid the cat's litter box, for crying out loud :p Besides, she didn't eat it, she just tore it into pieces the way she does with the grass in the yard. Grr.   But moss is slow growing right? Won't it...

Congrats! :D Nets don't seem to work for very small fry. I had to catch my zebra danio fry with a plastic drinking cup... Good luck! I'm rooting for the little guy! LOL <3

What can I do for it? Even if it survives, will it still be useful for anything tankscaping-wise? She hates water, but was so desperate to tear my poor moss that she stuck her nose in it anyway to steal it and then stood wagging her tail at me and begging for a bone in the midst of all the...

Thank yooooouuuuu! *snugs* I love you! lol xD ;) I don't have a tank yet but I want to start propagating, with my betta's help ;) and with the help of Cancun's sun. Now I want ALL of the ones you mentioned!!!! Did some research ahaha. Love them xD

Hi guys! Sorry for the last-minute post, but a guy is going to deliver some white silica sand to me tomorrow and I need to ID the plants soon before I order them so he can bring both at the same time. Can someone please help me ID these? I'm pretty sure some of them are crypts but....  I swear I...

But it's very uncommon. ...Riiiiight????   One of my neighbors had his 3000-liter SALTWATER REEF tank EXPLODE right in front of him. Needless to say, his new tank is now only 120L...

Why not try the experiment with clean, unused sand and gravel? That would dispel all doubts, I believe ;)

http://www.myfoxdc.com/story/28847495/fish-tank-explodes-sending-restaurant-customers-running   o3o what a nightmare!! THAT is why my mom doesn't want me to build a 50-gallon tank. >_< DX

Nobody is ever in chat anymore... I hope this site isn't dying like what happened to WWM. That would break my heart... :(

Also, is silica sand inert? I've heard it is. It's the kind I had, and many people are saying it's totally chemically inert...   EDIT: Yeah, I know. Paging the DoRD... ;)

That's JUST what I need my sand to do! But I'm in Cancun so things are not readily available here. What kinds of light colored sand lower pH and hardness? Please tell me xD My water is like SUPER hard, leaving mineral deposits everywhere, and I wanna keep discus! Using other water than tap is...

I don't have much experience with plants, but personally, I've had a LOT of success with hornwort, duckweed (more than I wanted), Amazon sword, micro sword, corkscrew Vallisneria, and Crypts of many different types. I can't seem to keep Elodea alive, though.

Hello all! I'm back at long, long last! And FINALLY I met a fellow aquarist in person, who will help me build my own tank! I want at least a 60g. But I'm gonna start propagating my plants now if possible, in a jar in the yard... cause now I live in Cancun and there is lots of sun for them. I...

Try searching on livemocha.com that's where I met my i-BFF and Romanian teacher :D Good luck! *hugs* I know how tough it can be to do things like that--I'm hoping to study my university in Romania which means I'd be leaving sometime next year and staying for at least 4 or 5 years...if I wanna do...

Flashing? Is he wearing an intermittent transparency cloak? :P Sorry, couldn't resist. ;) I've always found that term hilarious. Does he have white sand-like spots on his skin? The salt helping tells me that it might be ich...might wanna try raising the temp a bit. Hope this helps! ~PK.

You needn't go to all this trouble, if they really are danio fry. Just feed 'em flake crushed as fine as you can make it!   (I've raised zebra danios before.)   Hope this helps!

Ugh, danios are notoriously hard to catch :P   Use a big net. Feed them, but while holding the net motionless in the tank. Wait for them to swim over it. Then flick it up quickly. This always works for me :)

Take out the gravel and stash it in another tank if you're worried about it drying out or getting dirty or something ;) Then put it back in as soon as the fry are big enough not to go through it.

Just remove the substrate ;) I never put any in fry tanks, except perhaps super fine sand, for that very reason...

Is anyone else participating in this year's April Camp NaNoWriMo?  What are your word count goals? What are you writing about? My parents say I'm very rebellious, but for some reason here I'm not a rebel. Maybe I should be, just to keep up appearances. But I don't really want to...   I'm doing a...

Yeah...of course they do. Except, of course, for the small inconvenience that we're also giving them safe, happy, predator free homes. Would they breed if they weren't happy? ;)

YW! You know what might look awesome for the background, if you do decide to go with construction paper? You could draw leaves, flowers, curlicues or whatever with either light colored chalk or soft pastel, and it will seem to glow :) I've tried it before (though not on fish), since they are...

Wow, so much potential! :D :D Maybe add more plants...like, A LOT? Then put the tallest/leafiest ones at the back and in the center, make a "jungle" all along one side of the tank, at one back corner try siliconing together a rock pile and putting epiphytes on it to make a jungle cliff... also...

*happies*   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ymXuZ_17Alc   We were really nervous, but we did it! V3 is coming soon...new and improved hahaha   I love this song because I empathize totally with Spirit's plight...I myself can imagine I'd feel this way, if I could go back to the States right now...

Spanish is harder than English... but nothing compared to Romanian haha :P But Romanian is also prettier!

Hmm, let's see. I have A LOT of them...   Web design   Singing   Playing the violin   3D modeling   Drawing/painting   Stitching plastic canvas   Writing (I joined this year's Camp NaNoWriMo, set to start in April :D )   Cooking (I've been dabbling in Romanian cuisine lately)   And lots more... :P

But why are they doing this? What's the point in banning having pets (which most seem to think is their eventual goal)? Where's the benefit to those people? :@

Just make sure you don't get Gambusia! Those are a different fish and much bigger but are also called mosquito fish...

Hi all! You probably know I've rescued some tadpoles and feeder fish, and some people here were kind enough to ID them both for me. I sent off an email to the WWM Crew asking for advice; I'll post it here:   Then, of course, Jack decides to rip off half the tail of one tadpole. I separated them...

Yes, Platies are mellower than swords, and I keep swords with angels with no problem (thus far)...

I don't know much about this, but I've read enough that it sickens me. I'm literally in shock right now. How can they try to deprive their own people of such a beautiful, wonderful, harmless and educational hobby? How about all getting together a massive Internet campaign and creating a huge...

I have to agree there. Mine always gripes about how I'm wasting water every time I do a water change, he wants me to change 20L a week, if that. LOL xD And he wants the filter off as much as possible (I have a sump) because it uses too much power, according to him. :P   I saw the title of this...

I keep three 2" angels with a male swordtail, they never pay any attention to each other even at feedings...the angels mostly just bicker among themselves, but I never see any real damage done. :D I've kept angels with guppies, but no longer as I know the angels will eventually eat the guppies...

Some will still survive. LOL I always used to try to save my guppy fry, but when my dad forbade it claiming he wouldn't let me take them to the pet store and wouldn't have the tank overstocked, I had to stop. I was still swamped with guppies. They hide in the corners, at the edges and near the...

Well 63g is more than the <1g they're in ATM, so if no one says anything to the contrary, I will plop them in. They oughta be able to breathe okay, they swim well and my tank is about 16" deep IIRC. Not more than 18", at any rate... Thank you soooooo much for your help! *tacklehugs* Sorry, I'm...

Thanks! Any care tips on those? LOL I've been feeding them fish flakes, but will buy algae wafers soon. They are getting really big. Can they stand methylene blue and malachite green? I know salt is a big no-no with frogs, seeing as how they breathe through their skin... And of course, the...

Yeah, there's one in the bottom right of the last pic I posted, right behind Jack. There are two total, in the tank. :D

O.o :'( Me likes him! But me likes my angels too!   What were he and like 5 other, super tiny convicts doing in the feeder tank!?!? How do I care for him? Is there any chance at all that he might get along with my angels for a while, just until I can re-home him? Will I infect my other fish...

Here are some pictures of Jack. I have a 63 gallon to put him in once he's healthy, assuming he won't kill my three angels. This is the best pic I could get, he's stressed now, but he will be in there only until I'm sure putting him in my main 63g won't kill all my other fish. It's cycled...

Because I can't buy one! :'( But what else could I do, leave them all to be fed to other fish assuming they didn't die from parasites or disease or kill each other first? They have a chance with me, at least! Jack is now in a tank with only the two tadpoles, he leaped out of the water and I...
