Ok...It's a blueish green color that is loosely covering my moss (not sure what kind as it's clippings of moss from before I was even born), drift wood, and some of the gravel. I was just going to gravel vac. but I was afraid that might help it to spread. I'm not sure on the amount of...

Well this is a first for me. In my 10 gallon planted tank I noticed yesterday that I have a lot of what looks to me like slime algae. Normally I'd just get some of those pellets that get rid of the algae but I don't think my plants would like that very much. What do you suggest??? It hasn't...

Wow that IS dirty!!! Guess I should probably check mine soon.

We had Red Pacus in our display tank at work, it was a 175 gallon tank and I thought that was a little small for the poor guys. Anyways 55 is way way WAY to small for 2 Pacus they can reach 24" in length and get a little angry when in confined spaces. I'm also not a believer in stunting a...

Where do you find retired police dogs at??? We're in the process of training my shepherd shutzund right now. Also shutzhund isn't really obedience/attack training. It's more obedience, tracking, and defensive training. Most of the defensive training is defending objects, people, and...

I have an Oscar. He's probably not the best fish for me, but my dad is the one that takes care of him, not that I don't like him though, he's really cool. I just like a tank to have more than one fish. I wish he'd let a larger pleco be in the tank...but no!!! He is very territorial...eats...

Will one of those breeder nets work??? How do you recomend I remove the eggs, they're on the heater, glass, a very large silk plant, and on the filter tube??? TIA.

I have cory eggs!!! What do I do??? They're in a 10 gallon with some Fancy Guppy Fry and 2 albino bristle nose cats. I'm so excited, I've never known anybody personally that's had corrys lay eggs.

I've always use Crystal Clear and it's worked everytime. It cleared up my 55 in less than 15 mins.

Depends on the bags, and the kind of fish. I'm not a sure on ammonia but I do know that some bags are "breathable" letting in fresh oxygen and letting out C02. Our fish at work only travel about 30 mins to us, but I don't know how long they're in the bags.

Both of my Plecos that are in my 55 were bought before I was born by my parents and I'm 18. We also have Corys that are like 17, and our Oscar is like 10-13 I think.

There's a few places in the far west 'burbs. PetLand in Batavia where I work is good for freshwater fish. The PetCo and PetSmarts near us don't have any "rare" fish but the fish they do have are healthy. All of that is a little bit of a drive for you though.

Alright, I'll try some of those...Thanks :D

Can I figure that out by looking at the bulb...I'm not at home at the moment or I'd go and check. It's the one that came with the hood.

This is going to be my first experience with live plants, so I was wondering what should I get and how many plants of each. I'll be ordering them through work so I get a nice discount so price doesn't really matter. Oh yeah I'll be planting a 10g and a 29g, both are cycled and have bulbs from...
