I've heard of that movie Mogurako. Never saw it because video doesn't work on my computer, but I've heard that it really is terrible. I used to be a vegetarian years ago and what got me started was a book called Animal Liberation by Peter Singer. Yeah, he is a member of PETA and I know they...

That is true, Ickle, I didn't know anything about water conditioning, cycling tanks, or even proper tank sizes when I first started too, but what about, like some have said, about using goldfish as prizes? Even if the people who "win" them don't know anything about keeping fish, the people who...

Thanks jeta for the correction. Never had a little tank, so I don't really know. But I thought that the bacteria colonized the filter? So where do they "live" if there isn't a filter? And since a small tank needs almost daily pwc's, I thought that was because it can't/doesn't cycle without a...

Yep, either get some new plants and decor or at least move the stuff around. Put in some tall stuff to break their line of sight at each other and give them some places to hide.

If there's actual chunks (chips) missing from the center of the glass, I'd be a bit concerned myself. Quoting MrLimpet. Im not sure because I've never had it happen, but what about silicone aquarium sealant. IF there are chips missing as Mr Limpet said. I'd be a little worried about the...

Are you doing a fishless cycle in that tank? Do you have a filter in it? I"m not sure, but I can't remember seeing filters for that small of a tank. I don't think you can cycle a tank without a filter. Also, what about a heater? Both ADF's and bettas need to have a temp around 78-82. I...

max, other than myself, I've never seen anyone post about using colors of fish to stock their tank. I've done that before. I had one tank that I tried to keep all red/orange. Had h. rasboras, mickey mouse platys and red and orange guppies. And I had another tank that was "blue", with neon...

Yes, true, hukit But it would be nice if they were newbie friendly. I realize that people should do their research, but you get a newbie talking to a friend who's had a tank for years (does it all wrong, but just got lucky), goes by their advice, not knowing any better. There really should be...

Yeah, apparently its not uncommon for them to change colors. Usually its the black color that they end up losing. I would love to have a white one. I saw one in a pet store once, a white fantail, in a tank that had to be at least 100 gal. Oh man did I want that fish! But I didn't have the...

Ive never had any lose color, but I've had one sort of all apart once. Do they do that? I ended up pulling it apart and tried to get it to grow on driftwood and it didn't take. Just ended up in pieces all over the tank!

That's pretty cool. I saw a volcano bubbler the other day that had a red light on the inside so that the bubbles coming out looked red. It was pretty cool. I can't tell, is yours like that too? The second tank that I ever set up was all brightly colored. Yours at least is mostly one...

That is a pretty good product. The only bad thing is since it says about removing ammo, etc lots of people end up using it as a dechlor. It might be ok for that, but Prime is better. But I would use the stress coat for something like new fish or stressed fish or mild fin rot or something. I...

LOL! Yeah, I don't have the time or the patience. Cleaning the tanks takes up enough time. I like to use the time I have left to enjoy watching them.

Fish School Hopefully this link works. (are we allowed to post links? its not "objectionable".). Here ya go Sssea!
