    Endlers-What to feed?

    I picked up some black bar endlers, decent sized juvies, the largest I would say are getting to breeding size. I'm having trouble feeding them. They don't seem to like the flake foods I have, I tried some granules and they spit those out like they do the flake. They take it in their mouth and...

    For Sale: FS: Marmorkrebs marble self cloning crayfish. great live food, docile. Shipping

    I wouldn't suggest a non-filtered tank. I do run sponge filters in all my crayfish tanks so that I avoid sucking up the babies and the crays love to eat the "stuff" off of the sponge filter. In fact that's how I know I have babies, it looks like snow on my sponge filter :) Here are the...

    For Sale: FS: Marmorkrebs marble self cloning crayfish. great live food, docile. Shipping

    I would probably advise against it. With the Betta's long fins he would be an easy catch for even these docile crays. That said I have heard of it working..

    For Sale: FS: Marmorkrebs marble self cloning crayfish. great live food, docile. Shipping

    These are very docile crayfish but they will catch a fish. I have kept them with community tanks but I did loose a fish or two. I really like crayfish and the community tank really did a great job keeping the baby crays in check. The tank loved all the "free" food. These guys do love plants, I...

    For Sale: FS: Marmorkrebs marble self cloning crayfish. great live food, docile. Shipping

    I added a picture, the mothers are very blue but I feed a lot of shrimp pellets so I think that's what does it. These things grow like weeds and will be having babies very quickly :)

    A Quick, Fleeting Yet Disturbing Thought I Had About My AquaClear 110...

    Try it now is what they are all saying. If you unplug your filter, then do a water change (the water level drops low enough to drain the filter. Then you added water again and plugged in your pump. Water won't go uphill in this case. HOWEVER, if you try it now WITHOUT changing the water level...

    In wall aquarium - What do you think?

    Jim, The wall conceals a "utility" room. It has a standpipe and the electrical box back there and a concrete floor. Since I have access to a drain and the water pipe I'm going to put in a sink back there too so that water changes are easy..

    In wall aquarium - What do you think?

    I understand what you are saying with high traffic but really there won't be much traffic at the bar. We used to have it setup in another house and when we have company it is normally for a game so we are near the TV. Any traffic will be 6 feet from the tank. We also don't entertain that often...

    In wall aquarium - What do you think?

    I am going to build a 75 gallon into a wall in my basement behind my bar. Since it will be behind my bar the bottom of the tank will need to be 48" off the floor to be viewable from the rest of the room. What do you think? Too high? Seems just right for standing height?

    I have been looking at some Cichlid fish and they certainly are colorful!! How hard are they to keep? Can I put other fish with them?

    Thinking of getting a 75 - Stocking suggestions

    I would like an active tank so possibly fast schooling fish or possibly a specimen fish? Budget is an issue so I'll be getting fish slowly...

    Thinking of getting a 75 - Stocking suggestions

    Thanks for the ideas, keep them coming :) Keep in mind that I am a novice, I have kept tanks for about 6 months, cycled them, etc so any fish suggested should be somewhat hardy... I am familiar with water changes, etc...
