If your unsure, can't find a catagory, or there is more than one species in the pic...put it here.

Thanks for the input d9hp! :D I know how that goes with having many teeth.... I used to work in the dental field for years.... 8) By the way have you seen Finding Nemo? It must be adorable! :P But really, Is she gonna calm down, or will I have to keep her separated for the rest of her life...

Hey, I also make my own filters. The ones that are sold ready-to-go are a lot more expensive on the long run. When I have a situation when I have to use medication, I usually take the whole filter out. Medications for common problems work pretty fast (in 24 -48 hours). I never had problems when...

Hi, I lost touch with you guys for awhile, but I'm glad to be back! Anyway, my question is: What causes (normally calm) fish to become agressive all of a sudden? I have a female guppy who used to be calm and sweet. But recently she started attacking my other fish, so I had to separate her from...

Yeah, I know I should get rid of them. As I mentioned earlier I can't kill anything, so what I did was I made up a small 5 gallon tank with some rocks and plants for the snails :roll: There is no filter in it, so I clean it out real well in every 3 or 4 days, by "vacuuming" the floor and the...

Yes, the tapwater here is alkaline to begin with. I don't know what else to use. I don't think bottled water can be used in a tank. Can it? Looks like my guppy has a bad case of fungus. In addition to the red spots she developed those hairy white spots on her sides. I did separate her and put...

I think I solved the mystery of the continuously clouding water in my (freshwater) tank. I had no idea what was happening. I did water changes, bought "water cloudiness remover" :D , but nothing seemed to help at all. I tried to clean my filtering device (a Whisper E carbon filter), which was...

She seemed fine up until now. If I look closely, I can see tiny (I mean really really tiny) little red spots on her body, between her top fin and her tail. She is swimming normally and other then these spots and not eating she behaves normally. My water chem is okay as far as I can tell I tested...

Try this link:http://www.petfish.net/endlers.htm I hope this is something like what you are looking for. :D

I just found this following passage surfing the net. I thought I share it with you, or anybody with snail problems: "To guard against unwanted snails, use a weak potassium permanganate solution. The Manual of Fish Health recommends a concentration of 10 mg/l as a 10-minute bath as a general...

Well, here I go again...seriously I'm so glad I found this forum. I don't know what I would do without your input. Anyway, I have a female guppy in my tank that refuses to eat. She stays close to the top but doesn't gasp for air or anything, she just likes to hang around up there nice and calm...

Yeah yeah...okay. :wink: I'll take corvuscorax's advice, I won't release them into the wild. But I still can't kill them. I'll get the Clown Loaches if they (the snails) get out of hand, which will happen pretty soon, they are reproducing at a VERY fast rate. I can't see any more than two of the...
