I think I just found my filter set up for future black worm breeding tank Thank You.

The PA fish and boat commision website states that if it is of legal size and legaly caught you can keep it in your aquarium basicaly if it is legal to eat it is legal to keep. But keeping trout may be tricky the biggest problem to overcome would be keeping the aquarium at proper tempetures. If...

I agree with develishturtles I would not think a BGK will bother your smaller fishes. But the potential size of the bgk can be stunning and there growth rate is fast till they reach a foot then it slows a little I have seen them at almost 18 inches of length in aquariums already. They are a more...

I would like to ask for your experiances in raising your own food for your fishes. I presently raise MTS :yum: in a 10 gal tank to feed to my loaches,feather fin catfish and black ghost. I watch the tank daily to see the rite size little morsels then grab them out take them to the 75 gal...

Sorry to here about your loss. Some times are fishy freinds can become family and the pain is real when they are lost. I wonder if all fishes go to heaven?

Not all silicone is the same this I have come to learn via the automobile world some silicones use a vulcanizing agent that leaches gasses into its enviroment that can be potentialy harmful to life in your aqaurium. And in the auto world some silicones will acually cause oxegen sensors to fail...

Yeah that will work but it sets fast and is much harder to clean up after words and is more expencive than the silicone. With the silicone you can spred and smooth it with your hands. And cleanup is easy just wash your hands and other stuff you use in rubbing alchohal before it drys. The...

You could aply a thin smeared layer of aquarium safe silicone sealent(RTV) and then roll the pots in sand or small gravel that is similar to your substrate or just use some of your substrate take out a couple handfulls rinse it dry it and roll the pots in that.

Well in my opionion there are no ethics in nature and if your are trying to give an honest shot at imitating nature in your tank then you realy have no chioce but to feed live foods I personaly breed my own MTS to feed small ones to my clown loaches,featherfin catfish and black ghost knife. I am...

I recieved my first copy of TFH yesterday I took it home and devowerd about half of it I enjoyed it very much. If you like to read it is well worth it if you are just looking to get question answered then stick to the internet. I personaly love to read about fishy stuff and have read most of my...

Well as for feeding live foods I don't think it is so much that the practice is personaly upseting but rather that it is a risk each feeder fish you introduce to your tank has the chance of being deseased or could be carying parisites. If you want to feed live fish or snails or anything it is...

I have heard from people that salt can kill ich to you might want to make a high salt concentration and run that through your gravel vac after each use. I personaly bought a seperate gravel vac for each tank and keep them stored at each tank. And I run the hottest water out of my tap through the...

Then you are fine I was just stating for those who mite get the idea for there 2-3 300 watt heaters and chiller 2 or 3 power heads air pump 460 watt lights and so on. No offense or badgering ment just a statment as to the possibility of trouble.

Thats considerd cabling and depending on how much power you draw can cause heat problems. Electrical cords should never be cabled thats why if you look at the wires run in your house they are loose and not in tight bunches so as to allow air to get in between them so the can disapate heat...

Looks like billsgate and fishyfanatic have you coverd on your fish as for the time, well let me put it to you this way latley my tv is very lonely and stares at me wanting to be turned on. But thats me. If I am not working I am watching my fish if I am not watching my fish I am here or reading...
