So I found an old 17ish U.S gallon at a yard sale a few months ago. She holds water and is in good condition. About a month after that I stumbled upon the one of the smallest fish in the world (heterandria formosa) on the internet and decided I had to have them. Long story short, since last...

Interesting note: i believe these guys eat snails. at least ramshonrs. I had at least 5 adult ramshorns cruising around my tank and since i put the vijieta in, i've found 3 empty shells...

hmm, i dunno krib, seeing as how he didnt eat any of the flakes i gave him, he might just not have eaten since he was shipped from south florida, wich is where i believe Petland gets their fish BUT i will keep my eye out, are there any other symptoms? AND i went and bought some frozen...

Ok so my mom's boyfriend had a camera! And here's the little boy Annnnd the girl they need names! Im thinking George and Ursula? btw i didnt time travel...the time stamp is just wrong :D

I will when i get a better camera for now the only one is my 3megapixel ion my phone, and personally, the pictures suck =/ but ill see if they'll come out for a photo op and besides that, am i going to be able to wean them on to flake food? I tried to give them some earlier to ease the...

i just got a couple of these for my 20long setup and was just looking for some pointers on them. like what would lead to a successful spawning and such

Well come home and he's back to his normal behavior today so i guess problem averted

Im 99% sure this isnt normal behavior. One of my peppers floats in the corner of the tank, right under the water level, when i go to see if he's still alive, he swims back down to the bottom, forages for a bit, then goes right back to the spot. has anyone else's cory ever done this?

Are there any major differences for these two making one better than the other? By clamp on i mean the industrial lights for more of a reptile application with a compact florescent bulb

hehe no worries i was onery from lack of sleep anyway, yay all nighters/dayers

i didnt mean to be the newguy, all questions and no opinions his own and yes no harm done =D The stocking for the tanks will eventually be 20gl: 1 Ctenopoma acutirostre, and 5 Corydoras Catfish 30gl: 6 Odessa Barbs, 1 Red Tail Black Shark, 1 Bristlenose Pleco, and 1 Spotted Raphael Cat Ive got...

=o i know what i like! i just wanted opinions i didnt mean to offended anyone by asking opinions. and loaches sound cool i tried some dojos awhile back but they got a bacterial infection =/

well i guess ill just go through the laborious task of finding my own fish -.-

odessas all the way ive 6 of them and when theyre not eating they're all over the place very very cool fish

haha tell me about it mine has 3 banjo cats and i just finsihed ordering 43 dollars worth of sand for them :crazy: but where did you get the microtenopoma? if your store ordered em from somewhere im might be able to talk my lfs into getting them.

mine likes to hide on the very top of the terra cotta pot errr underneath the top if you get what im saying he also hangs out inside my driftwood at times so check all the dark places where its harder to see into best of luck friend

i was just randomly searching through google for Anabantoids and came across a pic of these guys and wow just wow if i coudl find these i would buy everything they needed then and there they look simply amazing good catch on them Africa XD i hope they're healty and longlived

Ive had something like this on one of my cory's it looked like a little white bump on his nose. i figure he had just bumped his nose against some lava rock i nolonger have in my tank it went away in a couple weeks but on another note the title of this topic could TOTOALLY be the name of a...

Hey everybody, i took a break, if anyone noticed =o BuT i come back with a 30usgal tank Anyone have any ideas? im thinking im going to put my 6odessas into it add a few more odessas (maybe 4?) so what else should i do? anyone got any ideas??

Well i decided against the baking soda, since there's a large chance id kill my fish. =/ but i went snooping around and apparently none of my lfs would give me any crushed coral. So i went to petsmart and they gave me a 5lb bag of what looks to me like a bunch of crushed shells and saltwater...

O.o didnt mean to hijack anyone! and i guess i should have thought of that before i asked =/ not everyone can be blessed and live in Florida *sarcasm* but i want more pictures of these little buggers so i can know what to expect! how about a big family shot!

grats on the buy! (sorry its so late =[ i never come in to the livebear section) but if i were to go out to my local swamp, where should i net to catch some of these guys?

*sigh* i think they've been eaten... all my shrimps that is i just turned my tank inside out and i cant find them =[ i guess ill just have to buy some more and put them in my new 17 us gallon with some least killifish im gonna try to catch tomorrow =D

hi everybody! ive got a 20 USgal long aquarium and i want to plant it out. The problem is its 29 and 1/4inch long not the regular 30 i bought a hood from my lfs and i had to "adapt" it to fit my tank. Hurray for hacksaws.... Needless to say the light fixture doesnt actualy fit the tank. what...

ok could i get away with using bicarbonate of soda? Im kinda low on money lately and i didnt know i had problems. So i dont know when ill be able to get to some crushed coral. And will all of this adversly affect my plants? because i know some Ph up solution you cant use with plants.

well i think i could fit one more in there the next time i've got the money ill hunt one down. Right now he's hiding somewhere in the big piece of driftwood =[ guess ill have to entice him out later with some food

Alright I just got the Master test kit and here are the values as near as i can tell Ph: 6.4 Ammonia: .25 ppm Nitrite: 0 ppm Nitrate: 20 ppm so i dont know where that sits in the cycle. But i usually have a problem with low Ph water.

i just bought one today cost me $13US hes a pretty little fish anyone have experience with these guys?

Make that two shrimp pregnant one male, 3 females. he's a little beast =D next time i get a camera ill try to get some pictures.

lol reading is a good thing these days, no?

everything i read is about 3-6inches. Big ones going up to like 11inches. So i was thinking a 75 gallon for a pair with sufficient filtration and water movement. Maybe a sand bottom with a rock cave at one end and a grass bed at the other? heya glenn =D

sweet would moving her to another tank for safety sake put undue stress on her? i fear my other fish my eat the babies
