yes on the money... so i need to find out what to feed him then. I will have to look for sinking pellets.... otherwise something that sinks, prefer something dry i can keep here at home... wife would not like anything in the freezer with the food, the thought would gross her out.... appreciate...

I added an album to user cp and uploaded two photos you may have to turn them sideways, i used an i phone and windows turned the pics 90 degrees, i can turn them to view but can't save that way. anyway, if anyone can advise it would be great....

Got this fish, LFS said it was a "type" of ciclid or from the same family. Anyway he hangs out on the bottom and won't go to the top for food and won't eat what falls, so i am wondering what and how to feed it. Thanks for any help.

thanks for all the advice, update, and what kind of fish is this? OK, JLK, Andy, Jetajockey, and shanny, thanks for all the advice. bottom line report, test kit is fine, got some gravel from a seeded tank, added an airstone and lowered the temp and my tank cycled then in 4 days. I added 3...

Thank you all, it is a 10 gallon tank. Only one dwarf pleco. I do have plants but they appear not to be doing so well right now. Yes, was wondering about the test kit possibility. Will check that out... was also thinking about getting some gravel from lfs, but any time in the past i put...

puzzling water perameters i have been doing very large water changes, about 70 - 80 percent 2x daily to keep amonia down. only the dwarf pleco in there and some plants. have been keeping the ammonia between less than .25 ppm and .50 ppm, and using API ammo lock. it has been a good four...

RE: did my tank crash Well, that explains it, I never knew about the oxygenation part, was always told bio-bac live all over tank, substrate, deco's walls, etc. That would make sense then. Yeah, I should have gotten the same dang filter, just didn't like the marineland only lasted about 1...

A while back, my Penguin Bio filter died, i replaced it with another brand, an Aqueon Quiet Flow. I had a polyfill stuffed stocking ball inside the penquin, so i left it free floating in the tank for a biological filter for several weeks. Long story short, my betta died several days ago. He...

Thanks Darby: I will check out the pellet anti parasitic from jungle labs, will have to check the internet and see what it's called, then the challenge of LFS in the area that actually has it... Never understood how one can go into a LFS with thousands of square footage of space and even...

No, actually the PH is a little high. However, I do not alter buffer or use ph controlling products..... it is better to keep most fish in a higher or lower but consistent ph than to be altering ph with chemicles / buffers, both of which are unstable / unpredictable.

Yes, both, one is worse than the other. Not really popped out, but looks like something i.e. cataract hanging or peeling from the lens on both, but only noticeable from frontal view. Slowly turning up heat. Using API Freshwater Master test kit.... that is all i use. How can I tell if...

Kung Fu Betta Disease pictures by michaelg210 - Photobucket Please see pics, thought it was cloudy eye, have been treating with Kanamycen, but it does not seem to be getting any better. In the photos it looks more like perhaps pop eye, but to the naked eye, his eyes are not simply cloudy, they...
