The reason why has alot to due with properly diagnosing the disease or issue, sometimes something like bloat can be treated without meds, see where I am getting at here. If you follow what I stated half the time you will find out you don't need to go to medicine, the other half of the time you...

imbellis are very colourful but not common in stores, and there is a difference between alot of the them, behaviour, breeding techs, living quarters to just name a few. There are some you can put the male and female together for life although I don't know what ones they are off the top of my head.

I don't really like the stuff I use to use it all the time but realized there are other methods and products such as an almond leaf that are much better than what melafix does, not only that it has to be used at half the dosage and doesn't really do much for bettas so i have found

no they can grow in brakish water, especially the java fern. Java moss is just an algue it will be fine I recommend not to use meds until you start seeing signs of recovery to save yourself some money for the simple reason that picuture for some reason is telling me dropsy. Especially if its...

HaHa ya they can change colour in a hurry for sure had a black betta with a few red spots on tips(was colour not rot) and a little hint of blue when i got him after awhile he ended up turning pure black. I bread him a few times and he would either eat the eggs or kill the female :( he seemed...

For now, wait until they decide to spawn and then see if you have the same view :)

Okay... This morning I went to the tank lights turned on as usual and he is definitly gone! :( Got kids ready for work, picked up wify and told her about it and she chewed my head off :( Got home and yup he gone was double checked by the kids and I and the wify well still have to feed them so...

Okay just cleaned out my planted tank of all the EXTRA vaillies and omfg 200+ vallies I have to give away now..... after I was done I noticed something strange in my tank.... only 3 discus I had 4 for the longest time and I swear 2-3 days ago there where 4 in the tank... I can't find that...

So you agree with what super said then in my post you don't provide 10x turnover :) anotherwords you don't follow all the rules that are sapose to be in black ink. Many of us don't. The 10x turnover is there for a reason its for planted tanks only for the simple reason plants give off waste as...

your ballast will have a set rating on it on what it can accept i.e. 24w-36w, 36w only, 24w only those are examples. something that runs only a 36watt bulb only will run a 24w but the bulb will burn out in no time. I run extreme watts over my tank 2.9wpg if i am remembering right, i had a bulb...

Ignorant reply I see.... convinience is a poor excuse? Do you own a dog? Do you have it fixed? if so thats a convinience! And I guess in your terms mentioned above that fixing a dog is definitely not an axcuse! After all it is for convinience so the dog doesn't get knocked up etc. .25 is not...

I am interested alot in your findings as I know this plant myself is a sugar starving plant it loves the sugars that co2 provides, what are you doing different thats showing the theory to be wrong are you agitating the water? For the simpel reason all water has some form of PPM of sugars...

Well I would attempt it if it wasn't cold here, and I am guessing its cold out there. Its costs 60 dollars canadian to ship out there 4 day shipping(6"x6"x6" box weighing 1.1lbs), to do an envelope its about the same price.(Have to keep in mind some of these vallies are 36" long) However doing...

Turn your co2 on at the same time your lights turn on, its how i run my system and no issues(not enough proof is out there on why to turn on 1hour before and shut off 1 hour before)you can't turn co2 on early in nature and shut it off early You need to know what kind of lighting you...

within an hour if tuned right it should turn to the green and stay green throughout the day(Just remember more plants = more co2 as in bubbles per second) Depending on the size of the tank so 24g I would say maybe 2-3 bubbles per second and a good recommendation would be to not use water in...

What you mean midlands? I have some that are as tall as 36" maybe even taller with huge root systems, if you want 20 of them so be it I have like 200 in my tank and need to get rid of a few. Depending where you are pay for shipping and a donation of say maybe 5buks you can have as much as you...

30ppm for co2 (Greenish Yellowish) using pressurized co2, I use EI Dosage 500ml DI Water 40g kno3 9g Kh2Po4 9g K2So4 (This isn't a typo) I don't like this stuff that much to be honest Substrate = Sand(Silica) the sand blasting kind, clay, peat moss and those little white things forget the...

Friendly Bump for all the flower lovers

Well I think most knows I got my Brazil Sword to Flower, and luckly again in the same season it had another shoot with many more flowers If you want to view the Original Topic Click HERE from when it first flowered (They might last only a day but I love that saying take a picture it'll last...

Well they don't last long, seems they only last a day, they have wilted now, so see if the others bloom now :)

Ya I know what you mean on the shoots, we had a shoot on it earlier, grew halfway and disappeared, then this one showed up looking very strong and thick and boom all of a sudden flowers, kinda shocking to see at first and is a big wow when you actually process it.

Dreams can always come true, thats a very hard plant to get to flower in an aquarium so I have heard although it does happen from time to time Don't really know I don't have a sence of smell, and my wifes sinuses are all stuffed up maybe because of this blooming hehe, I just opened the lid to...

Exploration

Yesterday I went to bed after feeding my discus before there lights out, and the brazillian sword i have looked a little weird I must say the buds on it looked bigger, but I never thaught I would wake up to it fully bloomed today, I must say wow this is an experience most don't get to see or...

If they don't get paid why do they work.... maybe attention seekers, metafore speaking ..... Put it in a jar less than .1 litres throw some food at it once and awhile It will live and you wont be prosecuted for animal cruelty... But then you look at the posts 2k the person must know what they...

An apartment is not suitable for a Dog neither! But people do it, so they should be charged with animal cruelty??

I don't know if you want my opionion, alot say you HAVE to keep them in a 5 gal tank so my opionion is only that ITS A FEMALE! 2 things give this away on why the 1 thing is very obvious and even someone saying you HAVE to have it in a 5gal tank should see this! Its a female! Edit: and for...

To your queston if anyone has ever kept a wild betta ya I have 4 of them, all in IAL water not because I want them to be but because they have to be! I highly doubt they are wild! And if this betta is wild you might want to go against what everyone says here about how to keep a betta, the...

If you where using live foods this wouldn't happen, vinegar eals don't require refridgeration, nor does blackworms but shade does help...... Cut what up?? When you feed blackworms and have experience feeding blackworms(The live kind) they tear them apart key word here being TEAR, this will lead...

What colour is the fringe of the tail?(Where you would count your cadual rays) Most cases its usually white some think is actually regrowth, and some cases it can be black, both are signs of finrot and can come from many things and in a hurry as well, black usually caused by water quality or a...

Something different besides normal splendins nice I will definitly be following along with this one, this is a change this section needed ^^, best of luck with them after the hatch its all up hill from there, the hard part is getting past the swallowing of the eggs or them spitting them out...

You want honesty?? Honestly you ain't prepaired for it so.... just let the male eat the fry simple solution(They need live food, that doesn't mean flake food that means alive if you don't have that no point in going on). Not being harsh here but this is probably the best solution let the first...

Thats good although you wanted live for the tubifex(blackworms), live Daphnia is good for them keeps them from being bloated, also don't you find live bloodworms messy to work woth i do...... sorry been busy in life havn't had much time to reply to anything on the forum in a few days like a...

All because you are out of sockets? You do know you can use gange valves right? 1 light to light up both tanks, that would only be 2 plugs, plus you would need the gange vavles for the brine shrimp hatcheries but would probably need a bigger pump

Sounds like you have a male in the tank, maybe one of them is a male, are they the normal splenden's or another specimen?

any local stores that sell stuff like lizards etc, maybe try one of them tell them you are looking for small black worms though, then you will have to get a worm feeder to feed them from, they are the shape of a cone with slots in them you just put the worms still alive in the opening, just like...

Don't really know don't do it any method like that, what I do is take peas shell and all, spinach, other greens I won't mention sorry its a secret recipe ^^ add some meat to the mix Not beefheart neither stuff like krill, cooked shrimp I then mix it with my blender oh how aweful it smells, than...

Seems it likes to float in my tank great! As if I don't have enough duct weed it wants to add to the mess on the top of the tank!!!! herm have to think of something else maybe that has more established roots and I don't really want Hair grass neither
