The last time I attempted mollies I had sailfin and they were just too large for the rest of the livebearers :/   My Striped Raphael catfish I have is fun when he comes out, I was thinking of getting a few banjo catfish as well  but they don't have them often.  I've read they get really excited...

All female platties and all male swords?

Hello everyone, I've been away from here for a looooooooooooong while.  Over the past two years my stock has been lowering gradually and it's time to revamp my tank and my aspirations for the hobby.   That being said my 125 gallon/473 liter aquarium will be getting a rehaul.  Of the fish that...

So, I have an empty 35 gallon tank I was going to put my two juvie Axolotls in and I started setting up the tank, only to find my cat decided to use it as a catbox one or two times when he must have been locked in the room ( tank was empty, just fine black sand on the bottom )   The sand was...

Hambobe it is a Striped Raphael, but they are great fish.  You wont see it much because its extremely nocturnal but as long as you dont have the usual " can fit in its mouth" for catfish it will be fine in your tank.  They are extremely slowish growers, and can get up to 10" or so and get a...

Olympus SZ-14, I had it set to burst mode though so the picture was only taken at 5mpx instead of 14 with the super macro on

Thanks, I really wanted to enter another one of my fish but my ram is the only one that stays still for so long so I could get close with the macro.  I dont have a DSLR so the moment a fish moves it ruins the quality for me

Its possible to have them in a 10 gallon if you decorate it well with plants or hiding spots.  They do have long bodies but they dont really get big, some species do but not a majority of the ones you find at the store.   I've tried the mesh stocking over the intake before but it really cuts...

Doing the emerg WC on the 40g breeder now, I found my black kuhli he manged to get pasted the mechanical media somehow, but unfortunately I did find 4 regular kuhlis as well but they didnt make it.    I really need to find a way to make the intakes efficient for filtering, and kuhli proof

Ugh... I'm fighting some Staghorn algae in my 40g breeder tank for awhile now and after I did my waterchange on Tuesday, I never plugged the filter or pump back on and never noticed it because the tank isn't lit right now.  I saw it just before going to work last night so now I gotta tear the...

At the top of the page, you see a poll with 3 options.  Chose the one you like and push vote

Try hosting on imgur or something, I cant see any of the images

nah I dunno what its called but the part of the barbels that look like roots I've only ever seen on Syno catfish

Body seems not round enough for an upsidedown, at least all the ones I've seen, I've also never seen them have two different patterns from the head to body.     Try posting those pictures over at PlanetCatfish, it wont take long to get an aswer

Oh I can find frozen, but I need live food for my Axolotl since they're still small, the food will make them grow faster and live food moves around their containers so they can eat whenever they want.  Brine Shrimp I've not only failed horribly at culturing ( I get some, but the water is never...

I've been busy playing alot... and alot of Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate! I found a science website that sells Daphnia Magna primarily to schools but they agreed to sell me some cultures ( their smallest is supposed to be enough for 35 students, I imagine I should get quite abit ) since Daphnia is...

quiet here

I can live with that, I shall have my voting button ready for monday

besides for reporting? No idea they have to know its still going on.  Just redo it for a week of voting with the fish that are tied or something

I woulda prefered a tie or at least another vote between the tieing fish, but every day it keeps going the creators fish gets another vote creeping towards the top :/

Why isnt this over yet?

Dunno people keep voting, now instead of a tie my fish is losing :<   Steve was late starting this round of votes as well :D

Here are the four babies   This is the largest one I believe, I had to use a toothpick for scale     Here is the smallest     Here is the middle sized/middle child     And one of the bigger ones  

I know the Excel will melt the vails in most situations, I might try a lower dose to start but I would rather get this algae out then keep some melting vails around

The lights should have been off all day, I just got home from work.  I'll have to order some Excel and while I'm at it I'll get some Flourish since my fert is running low.   Which other Seachem stuff should I get?  None of my plants besides for the watersprite seem to be doing anything, the...

I took a look at my Java Fern today, and saw it had quite a bit of algae on it, I dose liquid ferts, I have no co2.  I assume the lights are on too much or can this happen with too much ferts?  To be honest, I dont know how long the lights are on for, I work 12 hours and I come home and they're...

What do you mean taxed the entire month in a go?  Like, taxed your entire months tax in 1 pay instead of 2, or your entire months pay gone to tax?  Isnt it based on a % of your pay over the pond there?

Its getting close, German vs Texas!

Woke up today, another clown loach, a skunk cory, and a black neon dead.  Did a 50% waterchange yesterday, tested water and its fine parameter wise but I'll do another WC today.   The only thing I can think of, is I made some DIY fishfood last week and left it in the fridge instead of putting it...

"Member Since 13 Feb 2013"

Home office though, thats a perk

I'm afraid to do my taxes this year, according to my T4 they only took off about 13% of my annual pay which... is odd because they take off about 20% of every pay already

Did my waterchange today, a few hours after I found a dead clown loach :( He was alive before the change...

Well, Steve did say 13/14th, if he closes it on the 14th you can get your entry in.  If hes late like this month, he still let a late entry in

Got more containers to separate my axolotl babies so they have their own room, need to try to boost the size of the smallest and see if this will make them grow faster overall.  Trying a different method for brine shrimp it always failed in the past hopefully this one will work

Get more then 2, and they are picky fish, I had some and they die pretty easy.  I didnt even make it home and one died in the bag

When does voting end?

Only one?  It wont really be too happy by itself and it'll be really shy.  What size is the tank? I hope its huge

The way their instructions are, they want the EHFImech ( looks like biomax but smooth ) in first, then the sponge, then the EHFISubstrat then wool.  It makes more sense to me to use the sponge first before the EHFImech but I guess they're both mechanical filtration so either way should work

mostly likely just because of their size.  The store I go to uses "jumbo" for most adult or really large fish.  Last time I was there they had Jumbo Harlequin Rasbora for sale which were almost 2 inches long
