Hmm.. just like the one you posted (I think) but the color mark-up looked almost perfect (even and such) unlike the one you posted. Perhaps they are one in the same.. safe to say they are dyed? One side green one side purple..

My BF works at an LFS and yes sometimes there are batches of fish that die. They have a "dead pull" in the morning before the store opens, but alas.. sometimes too much stuff to do and this doesn't get done. It's always bad for customers to SEE the fish flopping around--but just mind that some...

Sorry, didn't want to post in the long thread cause this is more of an inquiry. I was in the pet store today and I saw something that looked similar to the large white kissing gourami (but it wasnt).. and big enough to be a smaller version of the giant white gourami (but it wasnt!). It was...

My boyfriend works at an LFS and everyone now and again someone asks, 'Can I get the fish that eats the fish poop?'... *sigh* Don't we wish! :P Of course they meant a plecostamus.. but we all know how silly that is..

When I bought my Electric Catfish from the pet store he had been with several other electric cats previously and several plecostamus. I bought a gold spot plecostamus (I think it is.. it's slightly green with yellow spots) and have it in there. It doesn't seem to be bothered by the Electric...

Bah! The bumble bee outfit was for last Halloween's dress-up contest. She won a gift certificate from a pet store for winning.. hehe.. She was only in the silly thing for about 30 minutes! Besides, she has sweaters she has to wear otherwise she'd freeze her little butt off (she only weighs...

If you don't mind some splish splash you can always dump them in a bucket hehehe

I call it cute! (please give it a second to load :D) (Anyone know how I can shrink these things?!!)

BGKS are so fun! Hehehe.. I used to hand feed mine freeze dried bloodworms. But the posts above are correct, they have an excellent sense of smell. I had mine eating fish flakes, brine shrimp, and live bloodworms and never really had a problem with them finding their food.

That's the problem with LFS's that don't know what they're doing. That Electric Catfish I was told would only get a foot long, but what I've been reading from the web will be 3' needing a 135g tank and it'll be able to stun a human :P As far as the violet goby goes, only one stayed in the...

Anyone had any experience with these fish? My boyfriend and I went on this wild tangent of buying these things (ended up with 4).. They would eat live bloodworms or brown worms or whatever those icky things were.. but we're down to one and they've just been slowly dying. They would spaz lots...

When the fry were about 4 mm I took about 30 of the Jack Dempsey fry and put them in a 5 gallon with an undergravel filter. Bad idea. First off they were being overfed (even though I barely fed them) and they were going underneath the filter and getting trapped. I eventually bought a 10...

Yesterday I had noticed that my spotted raphael catfish's tailfin looked as if my oscars were nipping at him. I figured he would be okay for a few days until I had a chance to move him. Well today it seems there is "hair" growing on his tail--where it's been nipped at. Kind of like the fungus...

If you get all your fish from the same spawn (obvious from their patterns and size and such) they shouldn't be too aggressive towards each other as they normally grow at about the same rate. If you do decide to use feeder fish or guppies (I personally do not recommend this), just be...

We have 3 Bichirs of differing sizes. We feed them a little brine shrimp daily (there are also some bumble bee gobies in there that eat the brine shrimp) and about every other day we feed them guppies and minnows for the smaller bichirs and small goldfish for the larger one. They all seem to...

That sucks. Only advice here is maybe next time just buy an auto-feeder, apparently itd be better than having to worry next time you leave

I'm not sure which forum to place this in, so if you wish to move this to the appropriate place, feel free. I recently acquired a number of feather fin rainbows and need some info on their living conditions for their tank and what parameters are needed for them to breed. Also, how to sex them...

Placing 2-3 fish every week in a tank is not always best. For a tank to recycle and adjust to new fish I'd approximate about 4 weeks. So you're putting in more fish before your tank is even completely accomodated to what you've previously added the week before. Odd that your parameters aren't...

Guppies aren't exactly monogamous.. they'll basically screw anything they can :P (the males at least). What you seem to have is competition between the males, it's not so much a male to female ratio that you need to worry about, but having any other males in a tank can just start a war where...

My bf and I are up to 6 eels between us and a few months ago we had gotten a free baby snowflake eel (skinnier than my pinky and about 3.5" long). It didn't want to eat small guppies or small ghost shrimp and ended up dying from a fungus growth (we didn't catch it in time) 2 weeks later. Does...

Aww so cute and fuzzy :)

Here's Sunshine (I previously posted her at 9 weeks)--this is her at 12 weeks in her Halloween costume. (She won the costume contest at the local Petco... yay!)

I'm currently using the 2-liter bottle technique with an airhose coming through the cap to keep it aerated. After about 30 hours I unplug the hose, put it in a dark room then proceed to empty out about 90% of the solution but still end up with a lot of shells. So I've been using the SF Bay...

This is Sunshine at 9 weeks, toy poodle.

I have a natural pH that is very alkaline for my area. You might want to buy some distilled water and use a 50/50 mixture (this was what was suggested when I was setting up my fry tank) and seems to be working so far. My pH is down to 7.2 :) But it was naturally 8.4--you might want to use a...

Hehe, I posted the store in the buy/sell area. 75 gallon (glass) w/ fluorescent lights and stand for $269 I think.. not too bad for a new set.

I have a natural high pH (alkaline/basic) in my tap water (8.4). Anyone have any ways of lowering this without using chemicals?

Tanks multiply like rabbits, you should know that :P As far as my oscars, they're eventual home will probably be a 75 gallon aquarium (special ordering it next week). I've had no problems with full grown oscars in my 60s before, but who knows *shrug*. As the need grows my tanks get bigger...

Like most people have said, good tanks, just slightly expensive. The eclipses have their built in filter, but I personally prefer an undergravel filter and a back filter (or something like what the eclipse has). I have a common problem of maintaining 16 tanks and the undergravel provide...

are you sure it's fish waste? there are some brown algae growths..

Hehe.. thanks for the warm welcome everyone :) And yes the little eel like things are kuhli loaches (I remembered when I was doing my signature) :) And yes, lots of fish--can't even leave the house for more than a day or two in fear that they're hungry! :)

Easy. Honey.. my aquarium needs a water change *nudges boyfriend* :P I just make sure all 3 water buckets and 4 pitchers are always full of dechlorinating water :)

I have a pair of Oscars that absolutely love this stuff. And they have so far come out to be the brightest tiger oscars I have seen for their size (ever). I personally believe it is from these pellets--does anyone believe in color-enhancing food?

go under "my controls" and then update avatar.

This wasn't my plate, honest.

:wub: Between my boyfriend and I, we have the following! 2-60 gallon tanks 1st with 4 silver dollars, 2 gold gouramis, 1 cinnamon dwarf gouramis, 2 paradise gouramis, 3 neon blue dwarf gouramis 2nd with 2 butter cofferai (sp?), 2 electric yellow cichlids, 1 jeweled cichlid 2-40 gallon...

I have a 60 gallon tank with the following: 3 neon blue dwarf gouramis 2 paradise gouramis 1 cinnamon dwarf gourami 4 silver dollars 2 gold gouramis The nitrite and nitrate levels are fine, the ammonia is fine, but my pH has again crashed to an acidic level (much yellower than the 6.0 that my...
