    Dog owners/trainers, hear my plea!

    Hi Pointy Kitty, She really is a beautiful dog!!! I've been reading a book called the dog listener by Jan Fennell that I think you may find helpful as well. It certainly hasn't solved all of my problems, but it has given me some new insight as to the subtle messages that I have been sending my...

    what works well with dwarfs?

    cherry barbs!!! They stay pretty small and are relatively peaceful. Don't know about compatability with your rainbows or panchax? I don't know anything about those fish. I have a dwarf, 3 cherries and 3 otos in a 12g and love it! good luck with your search.

    how to handle adf's

    Hello, We just started keeping adf's in our 10 gallon---really loving them more than I thought I would----anyway, we had two and went to get a third the other day. With the previous ones the person at the store just grabbed the frog with her hand. When we went to get the third one the person...

    Water conditioning

    Hi Shane, I don't know how much help I can offer, but from everything that I have read you shouldn't be trying to change your ph. The stores try to sell you all sorts of stuff, but the least amount of products you put in is better. For test kits, you will need to test for ammonia, nitrite, and...

    Water Temperature

    I was concerned about this too, I got several ideas from the forum. A couple of people rigged up computer fans to blow across the top, others suggested air conditioning the room, there is also a chiller unit you can get for your tank---quite expensive! Ice cubes came up, but that would cause...

    zebra danios bent

    Anyone have any ideas? We just lost one of the danios that started looking bent, they go pretty quickly once you can see the bend.

    zebra danios bent

    we used jungle brand ick guard. It says one dose will work, but we had to dose twice? Anyone here with experience with t.b?? I've been reading that it isn't all that uncommon anymore also.

    zebra danios bent

    Over the past month we have lost 3 zebra danios and it looks like 2 more are going to die. Their bodies just started to look bent, their tails just shot up in the air when they were staying still. They had no other symptoms aside from becoming less active. We have also just lost a platy, she...

    getting new tank

    I think the answer is to go with the guppy breeding tank!! I'm sure you will have more success this time since you have some experience behind you. Get those beauties in there and work on your tests and finals!! :nod: Then you can research the puffer more and still have something to dream...

    how do you keep your tank cool??

    Thanks everyone, it is going up to about 80 right now and it is the change that I am most worried about. Those chillers are really expensive, I think that I will spring for the air conditioner!!! (I would guess the a.c. is cheaper than moving to the U.K. too) :unsure: I did throw a couple...

    how do you keep your tank cool??

    With just a few hot days, my tanks are already starting to creep up in temperature. Is there a way to keep them from overheating other than running the air conditioner all the time? Thanks

    Platy Problems

    Something very similar happened with one of my platys, she would just kind of float around in a daze, sit at the bottom, or sit around at the top. I couldn't see anything wrong with her and the other fish weren't bothering her either. She had her fins clamped most of the time too. This went...

    Platy

    I LOVE Platies, they usually are very peaceful!!! I would try again, make sure you have 2 females to every male or just females though. Don't give up, that fish may have been sick to begin with too. Good luck!! :)

    ich medication?

    I feel kind of stupid asking this but.... I'm using jungle ick guard and the directions say "after 24 hours, change 25% of the water and dosage may be repeated." Does this mean to change the water after 24 hours even if the ich is gone OR change the water only if you need to repeat dosage? Thanks

    inspecting new cory

    I just read a thread that suggested to check the cory cats for bruising before bringing them home. What does that look like? Is there anything else I should look for? I read that they have a high mortality rate to the lfs and then to home, I am a little nervous, so any tips are appreciated...

    lfs New Hampshire seacoast area??

    Thanks for the efforts. Lauraswan26, I had seen an ad for a store in Plymouth in the critter exchange and was considering going. The Plymouth Pet and Aquarium?? We had been driving all the way to Lebanon, so Plymouth wouldn't be too bad to check it out. I've been to a few in my area that...

    Hi Mustang5L5, I have no answers for you--sorry. I was wondering where you go for your fish? I wish I could take your fry off your hands, but I just don't have the room for another tank. Good luck in your search.

    lfs New Hampshire seacoast area??

    Hi, I was just wondering if anyone could recommend any good lfs's in the New Hampshire seacoast area? I've check out a few, but am always looking for others. I won't shop a store that sells cats or dogs though. Thanks

    Happy to be here!!!

    Thanks everyone, I really do love my fish!! I don't think that there will be any pictures yet, I can barely see the little guy. I did lose one already, but I have the other one in a net breeder and I have my fingers crossed.

    Happy to be here!!!

    Thank you all for this wealth of information!!! I finally have started my first fish tank and I can't believe how confusing it can be. There is so much to know and so many different opions out there. Anyway---about me---I have 2 dogs, 2 cats, a guinea pig, a box turle, a betta, and now a 45...
