This is Goldie, my 18mo old Gold Nugget during a recent MTS snail hunting exercise. The loaches just can't keep up these days, so we help them out. http://www.aquariumadvice.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=13290&cat=554

Just curious... Who DOES assign the L#'s ? Or will I find that out on planetcatfish too? don't worry, surfing it right now... thanks for the link, loving it...

One thing I've found very little information on, is exactly the difference between the two. The only source I found which listed the under both L #'s (which I misquoted above)... Could it be that the L018 is the dwarf variety of the L177? Could it be possible that in home aquaria, the L177...

I've been doing alot of reading on the different fish I have in my tank lately. Before I got my gold nugget (L177, L85), I'd read several reputable profile sources that indicated they could grow as large as 12 or 13 inches. However those resources also indicated they normally only grow as...

I know, a bit dated post... but thought I'd add my 2 cents... I picked up mine at Thatpetplace/thatfishplace.com, however I live about an hour away from their Lancaster, PA retail store. $16, which was a steal in my opinion. A new Petsmart in the area wanted $50, and the two other LFS's...

Howdy folks, A couple months ago I purchased some rather large decorations for my 72gl Bow, and within a couple weeks, the large castle's paint was loosely chipping to the touch. After a couple more weeks, its chipping quite freely on its own, enough that I've removed it from the tank...

Well, the fins haven't been anywhere near as perfect, or neatly edged as his slightly larger tankmate, ever since coming home. Unfortunately as they've grown larger and older, its becoming more pronounced. And yes, it would make sense they are a couple months older than 14, they simply came...

Howdy folks, I've had my current tank (72gallon FW BF) up for nearly a year now, and have had my pair of angels (not a breeding pair, i believe both male) for 14 months now. Both of them are pretty sizable, although I don't know exactly how you measure the size of an angel... Anyway...

What about acrylic or glass cut to fit in the gap, on the inside of the tank. That seals the water in, and the original glass/plastic moulding would hold the rest together. I would think, not an expert though. My bet would be to take it to a glass shop. Ask around, when I mention building an...

Is this one made of glass? or plastic? If I recall, this one was referenced on the site I prefer as a baseline guide for DIY CO2, can't find the link at the moment, but if I recall, it was highly recommended. EDIT - found, via a post by GreenMagi...

Most of the DIY C02 articles I've come across recommend ceramic airstones, if you go the airstone route. The consensus appears to be around the diffusing effects, and ease of cleaning / lack of erosion to the airstone. The caustic effect of the yeast/sugar formula tends to attack the cheap...
