That would be very difficult as we will already be really strapped for space. I have a wife, a 2 year old and a 4 month old to all pack into the minivan. I'll give it some thought though.

I'm in Houston and about to evacuate from Rita. I'm afraid that my house will lose power while I'm away and that my pumps will stop working. I really don't want to lose my fish. How long can my fish go with the filters off before they risk death? I have a 33 gal freshwater tank with 4...

I just got 2 clown loaches the other day from my LFS and put them into my tank with 3 dwarf puffers, 3 otos, and two barbs. They were very active the first day and second. However, the third day I could not find them. I have my 30g tank set up with rocks and art plants with a good hiding...

Since my tank was decimated unknown forces, i have taken your advice and decided to start my tank anew. however, after reading more I think I'm want to venture in to the world of Puffers. Evryone who has them seem to really love them. I have a 30 Gal tank with a typical FW setup. Over the...

How do you guys clean them..I read that some put in the elbow grease and scrub them. i was told by an aquarioum specialist that he sets these rocks and ornaments out in the hot Texas sun for a few days and they essentially burn the algae away. I have been doing it that way up to this point...

It was a dang Chinese algae eater. He's all happy swimming around the tank today, considering he's got it all to himself. Don't know what to do with him when I'm starting this tank over. I was happy with the cichlids. Really loved it when my yellow labs were breeding. That was really cool...

I found this site when looking for info on sick fish. Unfortunately, whatever got into my tank has killed all my fish save and except for the one which probably brought the sickness to the tank in the first place. I guess my question now is what do I need to do in order to make sure the tank...
