I live in Maple Ridge, and I get alot of my stuff from Big Al's in Burnaby/Coquitlam. I also buy fish from a local fish store called Great White, as he takes very good care of his fish and tanks. I've never been to King Ed pets, but I might go in there this weekend.

Even though I own several "submersible" heaters, I just can't bring myself to submerse them. I feel like I'm going to electocute myself. Am I wrong for thinking this, and how safe are they? I know you DO NOT submerse the non-submersible type.. but for some reason, I just can't make my self do...

I have a female dalmation lyretail molly, and a black make (I think dalmation molley, more black though) and recently the black male started harassing almost all the fish in my 10 gallon. The white female is very docile.. so I said, you want to be a bad boy and chase everyone, then you can go...

Yep, this pet wins.

I'm seriously thinking about setting up a salt water tank. I love my freshwater tanks ALOT, but I've just been thinking, what it would take. I love hermit crabs ect.. money is not a factor. What good pages/articles can anyone recommend for some good reading. Thanks. Sorry, sould have posted...

I would like to plant some more plants in a few of my tanks at home. Could anyone recommend some hearty plants, that won't require me to do c02 injection? I have a few plants now, that are doing quite well, but I would like to add some more. I'd say that java moss is the easiest =) Thanks.

I have a 25 gallon community tank at work. It started out with just an under gravel filter. About 3 months ago, I added an Aqua Clear 30 to the tank. Today I decided, it was time to eliminate the UGF. I read a couple faqs, and decided it was worth it to be-rid it. I was very good with...

I just hatched some brine shrimp for the first time 2 days ago. I fed some to my fry.. and they loved them. I'm not sure what it would take to make them grow alot bigger, but I could see it as being a bit of a pain in the butt. Not to mention, they kinda stink.. so make sure you hatch them...

Hey, thanks for the props! It makes me feel good =) If that plant isin't aquatic, what else is it? I just picked it up a few days ago.. I thought it looked interesting. I was in with all the other plants at the lfs.

How in the world would you do water changes?

This is what I did. I cleaned the back glass really good with windex. Then I pretty much smeared vaseline on the back with my hand, and made sure to cover most of the spots. Then you take your background and stick it onto the vaseline, and using a debit or credit card, remove the access...

I was browsing the forums today, and came across a thread where some people recommended the vaseline trick for making your backgrounds stand out. Today I applied it to my 10 gallon, and when my dad saw it, we had to do his 30 gallon. Here are some before and after pictures. Before After

Why don't you guys get a python or something similar, that way you can use warmer water straight from your tap. That's what I do.

Thanks guys. I love fish. My dad used to be quite the hobbiest back in the day... untill his 135 gallon tank burst at the seam. He didn't have another tank for at least 10 years... but he's been back into it for a while now. Now me and my bother have a 135 gallon community tank downstairs...

One of my 3 shrimp found his way into the fry container, and started his sweep of the left over feed the fry haden't eaten. He won't harm the fry, and they don't mind him. He's a good cleaner in there. You can see how clean the bottem of the container is now, compared to the pictures before.

2 days ago, when I turned the light on to my little 10 gallon, I saw a few babies. I thought I caught them all (4) I don't know who gave birth to them, as I didn't think any of my fish were that close to releasing. So, I went out and picked up a turkey baster as I read someone saying they...

This morning I whoke up to a little clear fish, with dark eyes, darting around near the plants I have in my 10 gallon tank. I have 4 platties (1 male 3 femail) 2 mollies (1 male 1 female) and some neons. None of the female fish looked pregnant AT ALL. Now I wake upto some babie fishies this...

I remember my blue lobster. He would always sit at the bottom of the tank with his claws open, up in the air.. waiting for someone to swim by.. and then SNAP. Done deal.. he caught a bala shark of mine (balla's are very fast) and he caught him, and started by eating his head. He had him in...

Hi. I'm very interested in planting more plants in my tanks. My main community tank is a 125 gallon, and I have a few plants now. At what point do you need C02 injection? It's hard finding the specifics, I'd like to not have to bother, but then what would be my limits as to how much foilage...
