the pleco is about 8" long so yes he is on the larger side. However, I was not aware that size had a direct relation to hardiness....does anyone else know if this is true? Also...is there any specific way i should pick him up so i don't hurt him?

My common pleco has finally gotten a little too big for my 55gal, and i'd like to put him in my 75. The 75 has a lot fewer plants, and it has only a midas-reddevil cichlid crossbreed in it. I know that you aren't supposed to net plecos....but what would be the best way to transfer him over...

i could be wrong, but i don't believe ro/di water is good for freshies????? My aunt who has been keeping saltwater for years told me not to use the ro/di unit on my freshwater fish. she might be mistaken.....BUT i would def. wait until someone else chimes in before you start using it in the FW...

when i clicked on the giant fish to enter the site it said i didn't have the right type of program to open the website?? any ideas what that is all about?

i live in sanford....ummm how bout you email me a pic and some info and maybe we could get an idea on price? we are getting married in the next year so don't have a ton of cash to throw around....but definitely interested in checking this out.......... email address: jennymit21@earthlink.net

towards the end when they get down towards the bottom of the abyss and the larger cousins of the ?candiru aso? start showing up and taking chunks out of the bait bag..........well those were cetopsis coecutiens........the very same fish i just sold back to the fish store last week. Mine wasn't...

wow..and i thought i was short at 4'11" (and a half) :wink: We short people have to get that half inch in LOL

wow that is a lot more work than just using a few 5 gal buckets!! less of a muscle workout and more of a cardio??? I usually do 2) 5 gal buckets at a time....eventually i hope to do curls with them as i walk between the bathroom and fishtanks ;) lol 8O just kidding. Just carrying two at...

link worked for me but i don't know about the validity

He is approx 6" long and looks like a baby great white shark. Really fun to watch him feed. He is a pretty rare find for a freshie, and we love him, but he just doesn't work well in our community tank since his hyperactivity makes our other smaller fish nervous and he likes to eat things...

when my oscar came down with HITH i dosed with salt as well as regular water changes, and he came through the ordeal ok despite the fact that he was looking pretty bad. I now use it in all my fresh tanks except for the one with my clown loaches. Our little darlings without scales don't take...

thanks again guys :) Billy is doing fine...looks like it must have dissolved. It has only been a few hours and he is already begging for more food :roll: Just had that moment of panic seeing him charging around the tank looking unhappy. I appreciate the reassurance and learning something...

thanks guys....i'll keep an eye on him for the next hour or so

i just fed my oscar some large cichlid sticks and he pigged out as usual. what is odd is that he is not closing his mouth and i can see a "stick" wedged crosswise in his throat. he keeps swimming up to the glass and folllowing me around the tank like he is trying to show me.... It sort of...
