He did say something about a trip to Europe recently . I wonder if he’s going to pick up any Killifish or Killifish eggs .

They have a very lethal poisonous snake in Australia that can kill a horse with one bite .

Why’d it have to be snakes ?

I’ve seen that happen before lots of times . We can probably dream up reasons why but nobody will ever know really why . My idea is that some fish are smarter than others and have figured out that the world they’re in is not real so they naturally gravitate towards other such enlightened...

A low maintenance aquarium for sure . I don’t think you have to do a thing but top it off and maybe do a one third water change once a month if you feel like it . How do the plants look ? If they get anemic looking it might be because they’ve taken all the nutrients out of the water ...

Holy WOW ! Those are really colorful . I like them .

Geez Man , some guys have all the luck ! 🤣

Like a rogue elephant Man . Like a crotchety old man as has been mentioned . A guy , or a fish , reaches a certain age and cynicism sets in . Eventually the cynic becomes resentful of the stupidity surrounding him and he blows a gasket . You’ll get there .

Buy an R/O unit . They aren’t that expensive and are good for you and your fish .

He is currently at a 12 step meeting . “ Hi everybody my name is @emeraldking and I’m a fishaholic “ .

I don’t know from any actual experience but since daphnia are what is known as a filter feeder then no . If the fry are appreciably smaller than the daphnia then I would cast the hairy eyeball of scrutiny upon them to be safe .

Well , whatever they are , I say that when anything is reproducing in your aquarium then things are healthy .

Whaaaat ? Did he nibble out that cave ?

What those guys said . You’ll see what’s going on when you do it .

Yes , I will always give any kid a piggy back ride but that isn’t even anything like what I’m talking about . A horse or any other riding animal is a lackey . A kid is your own flesh and blood and you do anything for them . Sled dogs ? The sled dog , like any dog , is man’s best friend and will...

Yes , I have heard that and in that may be why they are referred to as a killifish which lay eggs a few each day . Maybe @fish48 knows why .

One to six fish are $12 bucks a pop and they go down to $5 bucks each if you buy seven or more from www.jonahsaquarium.com

Yeah , I heard that . Ken “Festus” Curtis from Gunsmoke was one of the original Sons of The Pioneers along with Roy Rogers . The western world is a small world .

Jonah’s Aquarium sells them . How do they seem to like it in your two gallon ? Have they dropped any fry for you yet ?

Roy Rogers ( a hushed awe falls over the crowd ) rode Trigger and the Lone Ranger rode Silver . Marshal Matt Dillon’s horse was named Buck and there is only one episode of Gunsmoke that he ever calls his horse by name . Cowboys have to ride horses . They can’t walk in those silly boots .

If I’ve said it once I’ve said it a hundred times . Everybody should have the gear and know how to hatch out baby brine shrimp . One never knows when the time will unexpectedly arise for you to hatch them out . Hatching out BBS is a basic skill that EVERY aquarist should know . I hope you raise...

Wouldn’t it be the most wonderful thing to have a really HUGE aquarium ? Not necessarily for big fish but for the reasons stated by @anewbie . To see the behaviors that you will never see by keeping the fish in a too small aquarium .

How small are they ? Can they take newly hatched baby brine shrimp ? If they can take BBS then they aren’t so small .

Heterandria formosa is one of the most under appreciated fish around . I’ve always wanted them and maybe it’s time for me to do something about that . I sure didn’t know there were even smaller live bearers than them . That blows me away . Now . . . why are they called a killifish ? Is that the...

Yeah , I suppose so . Camels are weird looking creatures but fascinating because of their ability to go without water for so long . I wouldn’t mind one if I was in the desert but I wouldn’t ride him , I’d use him like a pack animal . Years ago I was backpacking one time and ran into some guys...

Interesting . I just learned something new today . I like when that happens .

Water meal ? Never heard of it .

I have two kittens hanging around . I put food out for the strays and others and my cat and they’re eating that . They are a little small for the big chunks of adult cat food but they crunch it down pretty good . They’re so small they look newly weaned . They’re really wary and wild too , I...

I got an Angelfish the first of last April that was only twenty five cent piece size and now she’s fully full grown seven months later . Never have seen one grow up so fast .

I don’t know Man . You ever see that movie on the SyFy channel Snake Head Terror ? I think I’d leave them alone .

Really dry fall here in Crow Country too . That’s the Crow Indian reservation and surrounding area which once belonged to the Apsaalooke people . Children of the big beaked bird is a rough translation of that word . Their reservation was once HUGE but white politicians whittled it down when...

I used glass wool back in the 1960’s . Being a kid and not knowing what we know now I changed the glass wool and charcoal in my box filter every week or so . That stuff was murder on your hands . Little shards of that fiberglass in your hands hurt ! This thing is definitely a Rube Goldberg device !

I just cooked up a pot of oatmeal for breakfast . Splurged and added raisins .

Geez Man ! You’re like a gravity well that everything fish gets sucked into .

Yours sounds like the one I had . The one in these pictures is bigger too . The thing I remember most about it was how finicky it was . The water level had to be perfect and if the filter floss got even slightly dirty it quit . It was a bugger to get started too .

Where is he native to ?

And perhaps yet again .

Alexander Williamson knows his stuff ! Probably the only bonafide aquarium and fish hobbyist on YouTube . The only downside ? His videos are a little too long .

A while back I wondered aloud here on The Great TFF Forum whether anyone remembered an outside filter that wasn’t powered by a motor but by air and siphoning only . Some expressed doubt but here it is friends ! I got an e-mail newsletter from The Museum of Aquarium and Pet History and that’s...
