We came sooooooooooooooo close to getting an albino bristlenose, but there was one snail in the tank at the LFS, so we said NO WAY. He does not want any snails to infest and multiply in his tank.

Hi guys. I haven't been on in a while. Just a simple question.... My brother-in-law has a 55g. Aged/cycled for 5 months before fish was acquired. We got filter media and 5 neon tetra from next door neighbor to help cycle the tank. Too busy to buy fish at the time anyway. The tetra seemed to do...

Looks like he's holding pom-poms. :fun: Could be called Flick - a combo of flashy and quick.

You can always get a small school (3 to 5) of botias. My brother-in-law had a snail problem in his 55g, they were everywhere but no idea how they got there. He wanted to get rid of them chemically, but I told him to do that only as a last resort as it might change the chemistry of the water...

I log in for a month or two and then I disappear for a year or so.

There's always botias. :)

Babyzillas. :fun:

My brother-in-law had a snail infestation in his 55g. He had no idea where it came from since he does not have live plants in there, just bog wood that has been in there for 3 years. He wanted to use a chemical solution, but I told him not to and to only do that as a last resort. I bought him 3...

You should at least let ambient light into the room for a few minutes before you switch on the lights.

A small cuttlefish. Fascinating when they hunt. The colors flash hypnotically just before they strike. I don't have one because I do not have a marine tank.

People driving in the passing lane and they aren't passing anybody. That REALLY gets me going. And, NO, I do not suffer from road rage. I enjoy it.

I wanted to start with something simple and that would be able to tolerate mistakes. Any advice on decaying plants? I've had Java Fern before. The old leaves die, but new buds sprout in its place. But the decaying leaves create a mess. Also, are you talking about yellow lighting or would...

I heard all shellfish release toxins (or deteriorate so rapidly that the water becomes toxic) when they die. Is this true?

September 2003 - In LFS just looking. Hmmm... Fighting fish. Pretty! Why are they in such a small bowl (ivy bowl)? Can they survive like that? Why aren't other fish displayed like this? Oh, they can breathe from the atmosphere. Seems simple enough.... Got book on Bettas. October 2003 - Got my...

For those of you who own a Fluval Edge: Is it me or does there seem to be a lot of heat radiating from the lights/fixture? Also, do these lamps come in blue lighting? Any and all responses pertaining to this topic are welcome and appreciated.

Right now I'm looking for a red/white double-tail Apache. I like DTs because they tend to have larger dorsal fins (more rays) than any other type of betta.

So what do you recommend for a 6g?

They dirty up the tank real fast. You would mix in a goldfish with rainbows?

That's even better. I didn't know you had access to a cycled filter with cycled water. Just use one fish to help cycle the tank. But don't use goldfish.

Nice! He seems the calm sort, but let me know how it goes when he's put in with the panchax.

Run the filter one more time for a week - without the heater. Then see what happens with ONE fish - a small tetra or single hardy fish.

Did you stick your hand in the water? How warm is it? If it's anything close to 'feeling like nothing', then you have fish soup. Remove the heater. The only other thing I can think of is that your water source may be very hard.

Oh nice! What did you use to take those pics? I'm sitting in a den in Bombay with a slack jaw and not much to say. I said to the man are you trying to tempt me? Because I come from the land of plenty.

Pictures would really help in a situation like this.
