It really does seem as if they never sleep...they're always on the go when the lights are dimmed. I've lingered around and stared at my tank for hours during the night, being most of my fish are nocturnal this is the best time for me to observe and enjoy them...and it's always the same, the...

Can't tell you much about the daytime (because I'm not home very much during day light hours to observe much). But I do have 2 Iridescent sharks. Overall for the most part when I'm watching my tank they swim back and forth along the length of the tank following each other. They're pretty...

Hello out there fish lovers. :D I've encountered a difficult task that maybe you guys could help me out with. Currently I have a sand-type substrate in my aquarium and was wondering how you'd go about taking the sand out? In my case I want to switch it to a small round pebble kind of...

QTOFFER....Thank for the concern. :) I'm treating with (Jungle) Ick Clear Tank Buddies. I've read the directions and cautions on the back carefully. (I know that catfish are extremely sensitive period and they are my favorites.) Specifically it says to use 1/2 a tablet on scaleless, weak...

Hmm...thanks for the peace of mind. :) I don't think that I'd be too comfortable knowing that it would have affected him in any way. I must admit that I never realized that it could become something serious though. :oops: Guess it makes perfect sense like any other wound. Thanks for the...

Just thought that I'd update everyone who posted replies. :D Alright got my clown loaches. I've decided to go ahead and try and mix the shark combo that I was inquiring about (Red Tailed Blacks and Albino Rainbows)...so far it is a success. :!: :mrgreen: I originally started off with 3...

I was just wondering, (not a big deal or anything) but do catfish barbels grow back (regenerate)? I have a catfish that got uneven mandibular barbels, it's a very noticeable difference...he was bought that way. Do you guys think this will affect him in any way, as far as scavangering for food...

I just had another thought...I already have some susbstrate in the aquarium but I was wondering what would be the best color that I could have gone with? (I might want to change it eventually.) One that will make my fish stand out but yet be good for them. Anyone ever used the Caribsea...

:? Hmm...seems that I do have quite a few options. :mrgreen: Thank you everyone for the warm welcome and suggestions. As of right now, I'm pretty set one some cloan loaches, gotta get a mini school of those...why, they're just wicked awesome. As for the sharks, I've been reading some...

Hello...just found this forum. :D I must say that I've read some pretty interesting stuff. Anyhoots...I just started a larger sized aquarium, I think it's a 50 gallon, and was wondering if anyone would have some suggestions for me as far as what I'm looking for. I've been on the search for...
