I've been using Prime for years. It's always smelled terrible.

Sorry for your loss :( sadly, I've made the same mistake with a betta back when I was younger. It is important to make sure the water is within a few degrees of the other. 11 deg is a big hike and may have just been too hot for the fish depending on what the temp of the tank is kept at. I...

Those cute little apple snails do get to be softball sized just so you know. And they're pigs so you'll need to feed the snail quite a bit and from what I've read, veggies are a must. Sorry, no suggestions for tank mates. I was thinking maybe those dwarf frogs but I don't have any experience...

Ok, that's good to hear! The angel is larger than half dollar size so he's not full grown yet. He hasn't attempted to eat any of them and I'd say they're between 1"-1.5" long each. I wanted something with a little bright color in it (angel is marble so black & white, peppered cories, plecos...

Ok, so I wanted a small school of tetras in my tank. I have an angel fish so I did some research and could have sworn I read that it was ok to keep rummy nose tetras with them. So I bought 6 of them (1 croaked :( ). Doing more research I'm finding otherwise. Are my fishies doomed? They are...

There's a calculator on the web somewhere...check the planted tank forum for a link in a sticky. You test your ph and kh and somehow those calculate into a formula to give you a rough number. Oh, and this time around I decided to experiment a little and I only added 1.5 cups of sugar. I got...

Being new in TN I had to find a LFS that was worth my time. Here in Maryville we have Petsmart and Petland. Woop dee doo. Petsmart is ok for livestock. Prices are decent and if you can find healthy specimens they do fine. My peppered cories, oto and rubber lipped pleco came from them. My...

I've only been doing CO2 (DIY) for a week now, but the recipes didn't work for me from that website. I think it was due to me not activating the yeast before hand. Also, I think you're supposed to fill the bottle up with more water to the bend. The one that I found that worked is this: 1/2...

Ok so I'm amazed! My gurl decided that it would be ok for me to take her angel to a fish store and get a different fish (I'm thinking kribs are in my near future) to be "hers". So now I'm feeling better about this. I really don't want to have to spend any more money than I need to. I still...
