oh yes i love my digital thermometer.. they are the greatest... i got all mine for pretty cheap online. Hara.. that picture of the two of them is soo cute! and the viv is awesome looking

it looks awesome so far..My 55 gallon went to our ball python :) Just a few tips to make setting up for a reptile cheaper.. HOME DEPOT. You can buy lights for a LOT cheaper at home depot and they make reptile lights there too that are a lot cheaper than the pet store. (im thinking i spent...

ask your local store if they can order a SAE for you becuase thats what i had to do

ive had the best luck with Siamese algae eaters for hair algae

My albino bristlenose pleco... ive had him for well over a year now

water changes depends on your bioload and the general tank environment. When i had my 55 gallon up and running (it belongs to my ball python now) i did about 30 % water changes weekly to keep my nitrates down. But that was in a low stocked unplanted tank. In my 12 gallon PLANTED tank i probably...

so in a male would the anal fin extend PAST the tail fin? and if they are anything like angel fish... angels both male and female have breeding tubes only they are different shapes/sizes... so wouldn't they both have breeding tubes .. the male to deposit sperm and the female to deposit eggs?

or if you have a planted tank you don't have to vacuum at all ;) i haven't vacuumed mine for about 2 years now.. just water changes and cleaning the filter and the occasional plant trimming. of course i think the aquaclear filter keeps the bottom pretty clean

are there any good sites that show a male and female ram with the distinguishing features? i tried yahoo and google but couldn't find anything with some good pictures of males and females. i think it would be awesome if they did breed although i have a male betta in there so it might make it a...

i absolutely love sand since i tried it in my little 12 gallon. The only problem is light colored sand shows a lot of algae i think when i get my next big tank i will buy some dark sand.

they say they are 'peaceful' but just a warning from experience, they WILL eat anything that will fit in their mouth. They wont pick on other fish but i had one in a 55 gallon and he ate all the guppies... just swallowed them whole.

Here they are.. sorry some of the pics are kind of blurry. I think Ram1 might be female and Ram2 might be male. so hard to determine becuase they are very young (about 1/2") Ram1 Ram1 Ram2 Ram2 Ram2 Ram2

lol, yeah im not usually into those signs either i like the natural look. but i have 3 cats so when i saw that one i absolutely HAD to have it. i actually just added the two rams as my last one died a couple of weeks ago. I had two in there that lived pretty good for about 9 months , i don't...
