Our fish club is having our annual auction in two Saturdays. There's always 6-10 tanks of various sizes. In PA less than 2 hours north of Baltimore. See DCAS.us for details Raymond I have as many aquariums as I'm allowed...for now

The problem with pronunciations is there are always colloquial ways of saying things. And, no one really speaks Latin. In general, nearly all letters are pronounced. The problem is separating the syllables. I have found that there are lots of people's names mixed in there (i.e. axelrodi as Dr...

I posted this in the plant forum too... I'm looking for a good aquarium mag. What do u get, on line or paper? Most important, what do u like about it? Why did u subscribe to that one? Raymond I have as many aquariums as I'm allowed...for now

For everyone: what magazine do u subscribe to, on line or paper? What do u like about it? I'm looking for an aquarium mag (not species specific, like cichlids). Please, share ur thoughts. I'd love to read ur input. I know there is good info coming out of Europe, so if anyone gets one of these...

Sounds pretty good. But, if I'm not mistaken, ur red-tail shark will grow to a monster in that 40. I would get more danios (zebra not giant?); two males per female (females are fatter). They like a nice school of 5 as bear minimum. But ur barbs will nip at them if they can catch them. I like...

I just read the book "The 101 Best Freshwater Nano Species" by Denaro and O'Leary. That's a good place to start. It explains how to keep a nano tank; 5 gallon aquariums are nano! If ur new to the hobby, the smaller the aquarium the harder they are to keep healthy. The small volume leaves very...

Thx DeeLee I wanted to make sure I was doing the right thing. I thought about it before I buried my banana. My pleco won't move it around if I burry it. And I placed it in a slower moving area so the floating leaves have a chance. I'm interested, have u ever cut a leaf and grown a new one...

Interesting about not burying banana plants. I was just reading about them and it suggested that they are buried three quarters of the length of the bananas. I just bought one and did so about a week ago and have one new leaf so far.

Let me start from the beginning. I set up a 46 gallon bow-front with lots of rocks and driftwood and furite (I spell that right?) gravel, and a couple of caves for my bristle nose-pleco. I bought a few little Java mosses and a bunch of cryps and moved my Amazon sword from the 35 I was breaking...

Hi everyone, My name is Raymond and I've been in and out of the hobby since I was single-digits. My first fish were guppies from a friend which grew into a fish room in my parents basement. Teens came and I found other intest. My first wife hated aquariums and resented the pleasure I got out of...
