Mine has never done that. At least that I have noticed anyway. From the second I put him in my tank he went right to the cave I have in there and only comes out when the light is off.

Like Imw80 said, it does depend on your dwarfs. For example, I have a six gal with two male honeys and one female and they all coexist just fine. They all play together and everything. Neon dwarfs, which are the most common, for example, once established, will fight others in almost any tank for...

No, it definitly is not a clown loach. I have had those for a while. But After looking at it a little better, I noticed that it has a body more like a rainbow shark, only it has the stripes like a tiger barb. Light brown and black. I do have a pic, darn thing just wont let me load it onto the...

It does look like some sort of algae. However, some fish, like my moonlight gourami, does shred the fake plants. And mine looked similar to yours.

Yesterday I went to petsmart(got a gift card for xmas) and there was a nice looking fish in the tanks. So on impulse, I bought it for like 7 bucks or so. It is about 2 and half inches in lenght now. The label there said it would get to about 7" or so. It is a peacful fish, and from what I have...

I noticed that too. My two long fin black tetras look wrinkly. They are about 5 years old or so. Also my blue gourami I had for about 6 years looked old for a while before she died.

I have had many different kind of gourami. The best ones in my opinion are the blue, and blue paradise. I have also had luck with honey dwarfs and moonlight. I have had one opaline in my 55 for about 4 or 5 months now and she seems to be doing fine. I have not had good luck with powder blue or...

I usually buy about a dozen every two weeks for my eel. But now I have a guppy tank for the feeding thing.

Well I was just informed today that I got promoted. For those who don't know, I run the pet department at walmart, a very very good one. And now I am going to be an overnight support manager. I am just so excited. I just hope they get someone who loves fish just as much as me. I want to keep up...

This irks me. Today I got to work after a couple days off(thank god for vacation time) and there was a letter from one of my afternoon girls. The letter said that some lady came in wanting some blueberry oscars. I can't not order them. But I feel sorry for those fish and for the poor fool who...

Don't you hate the systems we have. On the weekends especially, if you have lazy idiots like I do in my department, that dont know how to use the meds, it spreads wickedly fast and then comes monday, and it is almost too late, or too late anyway. So, does your suppliers send terrible fish too...

Dont start hating on me right away. I run a pet department at Wal-Mart in Depere, WI. And every one that comes in to my store tells me that I have the best looking tanks in the area. There are three within 15 minutes of each other and two more 35 minutes away. Most people even tell me that my...

I don't see why it shouldn't. Especially since the gold is just a color morph of the blue. Just make sure not to get a male gold then. It wont be pretty, trust me. I use to have a male blue and a male gold in my 55. All was well one day, and then the next my beautifull gold(never seen one so...

I have a few tanks, all fresh. I like gourami and cats. I have been a fish lover my whole life.
