That's good news to me, gwand. Thank you.

Hi, 10. One would think that the makers of aquariums would know this. But no doubt they're only in it for the money. Alas, this is the only aquarium I have, and since I can't afford another, I have to work with it. The lighting is adjustable from bright to dim, and is in all colors of the...

I had some advice here (I'm sorry; I don't remember who it was from) that said my tank is too small for what I want in it. Right now I have two Harlequin Rasboras and one Corydoras Sterbai. I wanted to get a variety, but the advice I received was to have six-ten Rasboras and three-five Corys...

Thank you, Gary. Surgery went well, and I'm allowed to walk already, if I do so with a cane for support. I'm very happy about that; I thought I'd have to be off it for two weeks. 😬

I'm sorry to hear it, e.k. Was lecturing your livelihood? Thank you. 😎

Very helpful video. Thank you. I mentioned that one of the ways I first learned to do water changes was by watching youtube videos. But after watching this one you posted, I wonder how I ever got a single water change done without damaging my tank - or my fishes. I jumped right in after...

I'm sorry to hear about Byron's trouble, AbbeysDad. I will keep him (and you, his dear friend) in my thoughts. Truly, I will. All the best.

Fishmanic, I am a little ol' novice. My single tank holds 15 gallons but I'm told that by its measurements only 10 gallons of that is for fish. I don't know exactly where the other five gallons went, but I suspect they're behind a rear panel along with filtration and heater.* I've seen Pythons...

Long story short: Jan-Mar this year I had a series of medical procedures that wiped out most of my memory. Today I began to get my equipment together for a water change and I stopped dead: I couldn't remember what to do. I sat down with the gravel vac/tube in my hand and thought. And thought...

Fish & Chips

Good to know. Thanks!

Tell you something funny, eh? Ok, let's see about this: Up until he was seven or eight, I frequently took my oldest nephew, Keegan, to stay the weekend with me. We both had a blast. Most of all, he loved running errands, so every time he stayed with me, I packed into the weekend a lot of...

Thanks very much, Ceez. I wonder, though, how would the fish do in a long drive from Montclair or West Covina? Do fish get car sick?

I don't mind at all, 10. Have a great day. :cool:

I looked for all my LFS's last night and found neither CK Fish or Jan's. Where are they?

Hi, 10. Bert? My hairdresser calls me that, but no one else. Feel free. :cool:

Yes, Matt, that's the one.

Oh, damn, sharkweek. I'm so sorry to hear it. I hope that after the weekend you've found some relief.

That's disappointing. If it holds only 10 gallons, I wonder why Fluval sold it as a 15 gallon tank. I want to keep my fishes happy . . . So if I have 6-8 Rasboras and 3 Corydoras, I could have no more, is that right? Wait - there's the panel at the back of the aquarium, and behind that are the...

Water change and cleaning! On a knee that's bone on bone. I couldn't talk my wife, nor my sister, nor her daughter (latter two our roommates) to do it for me, even after I promised not to leave them alone and to give detailed step-by-step instructions all the way through. But I understand. The...

Thank you, emeraldking.

L 16" W 10.5" & 12" (front of aquarium is bowed) H 13" I hope I did this correctly - but then, how could I mess it up? 😨 Also, I read a little about corydoras sterbai. What I read said that they need to be five or six to be comfortable. With six corys and 10 Rasboras . . . . ??

I'm still feeling my way around, so if jokes aren't welcome, please let me know. Guy goes into a pet store and asks Dude behind the counter for a dozen bees. Dude goes into the back and puts some bees in a bag. He takes it out to the Guy. Guy looks into the bag and counts. Says, "There are...

Hello, Colin, Here's a photo of my little cat, Grover. He's between one and two inches long. He blends right in with the pebbles. Sometimes I have a hard time finding him, unless I look for his fins. Should I post this somewhere else? I hope you're having a good afternoon. Bertha

If something weird shows up in the wrong place, hang in with me. I'm trying to get my bearings.

Thank you for the welcome, Colin. I'll post a photo of my catfish, Grover, tomorrow - if my moving in front of the tank doesn't make him swim to the back. Thank you for the advice about the air curtain. Rethinking it now. Are ten Rasboras too many for 15 gallons? Because I'd like to get more...

I hope everyone is well. I'm glad to be here. This forum seems superior to another I was checking out, so I joined. I have had aquariums in the past - in the long past. I had two when I was in my twenties (not at the same time). I was a stupid kid - I did no research and didn't know about the...
