I'm looking for a US alternative to Practical Fishkeeping. PFK is a great website but I would like to find one similar but stories/advertisements are more tailored to US residents.

I've read about plenty of people using the ADA AS, EC, or laterite for part of their substrate, but have seen very few topics on using a sand/top soil mix. I'm curious why more people don't try this.

I love the wood. It gives nicely to structure for scaping.

Topic pretty much says it all. I want to know what temp you keep your planted tanks at and the type of fish you keep in there.

They do reproduce very quickly. They just about overran my tank until I picked up a pair of yoyos. Now I don't think I have any. :( Don't remember the last time I saw one.

I have mine in with some guppies, endlers, algea eaters and a pleco.

That doesn't sound too bad. Is there a calculator or a guide for how much sand to use in a tank...based on dimension or volume?

As the topic says: I want to take out the gravel in my tank and put in a sand bottom but I don't want to take the tank down. If I have to I will, its just a big hassle as I only have two tanks at home of which one is 5 US gallons( won't hold my pleco ).

If anyone knows, let me know too. I've been trying to get another tank for about 6 months. But to be fair, we were about to buy a house when I was trying to buy it ( missed a really sweet deal on aquabid because of it :-( ).

Please PM me the link, I'm curious what this tank looks like.

If your tank is filtered make sure to remove the carbon. I didn't know about that before I treated my big tank and it has thrown it for a loop.

:rip: Wife just msgd me at work, he is no longer with us.

Mostly pellets, didn't know it caused constipation until recently. :blush: I'll read up a lil more on it...thanks!

I need some help/suggestions with my betta. Right now he(Julian) is staying at the bottom of the tank and is being super lazy. He is eating poorly also. I came in from work and he had himself lodged between the wall of his tank and a betta bulb; I really thought he was dead. I knocked on the...

Sorry for my ignorance, but are the "wild type" any more friendly in a community tank?

Wow, I really like the opaques. Too bad I live like 3500 miles away otherwise I would get a pair. OMD, your website looks pretty good too.

East TN here too, really hope your friend doesn't use the fish in her wedding. Thats too many bettas to try and take care of.

Personally I would do a water change. Your nitrates are too high. I had a friend who had high nitrates in his and and fish "mysteriously" died.

Just curious what eveyone is feeding their bettas; whether it be live, frozen, freeze-dried, synthestic (flakes and such). Right now I'm feeding my male CT pellets but would like to add more diversity to his diet.

Him and his relative both look stunning.

Sorry for your loss :(

I could be wrong, but I thought rams stuck with one mate.

I really like Zale. :wub: I wonder if petco would allow people to "rescue" bettas and give them back for sell? I don't see why they wouldn't...if a betta dies they get no $$ from it. LoL@bettabum's sig...that picture is great. "SuperBettaRescueForce"

Sorry for bumping an old thread, just wanted to show an update of the betta bulb so people can see how big they get. Three of the blades are approaching 12" maybe longer, I've not measured them. And its still growing!! :hyper:

I have one of the betta bulbs in my bowl ( hasn't sprouted ) but the bulbs I put in my 29 gal have. They look like a tall grass atm, not sure what the end result will be. Here are pictures of mine.

Here is a pic of my betta. Img quality sucks because I'm still trying to get used to taking the pictures, little blurry. I'll try and get some better ones. http://freestructure.net/~shadowmeldfs/ima...tank/Julian.jpg File will take a bit to load on slow connections.

I know of a local store that sells it ( in the states ) but he also has an online shop. I don't know if he ships overseas or not; you can still check. try http://www.fishstoretn.com http://www.valentinesattic.com [email protected] Good luck!

Thanks for the help, luckily I have another tank at work to house one of the two.

Has anyone had any issues with keeping an Opaline Gourami with a Blue Ram? I just got my blue ram today and my gourami has been all over him since I've put him in. I tried moving some of the structure around to break territory bonds but opaline keep harassing the ram. My ram has already...

The last time I was at wal-mart they had their only female in a tank full of puffers. I didn't have any money on me or I would of bought her. :-(
