Hi, What is the best time to feed your fish? I only ask because someone reacently told me that feeding them at night before they mellow out was a bad thing to do? I know that some fish only eat at night (or suposedly) and this kind of just make it more complicated. If I feed some in the...

Hi, I seem to have optimized my heating by placing my heater horizontal. I orignaly had it stuck in the corner like the noobie I am. I then moved it into the middle where the current would cross its path. I soon obsereved that the heater kept cutting out before the set temprature was reach...

Hi, The roots from my Anoubis plants seem to be acumalating a lot of mossy like substance. The photo does not show it well, although without the moss developement now present you would see a more defined roots structure than the pics show. The moss seems to be filling in the space between the...

Hi, thought I would update the progress on my next brood a bristlenose catfish. Usually I just let em go for it in the tank. However just yesterday I sighted a ball of eggs lying outside the bristlenose log. Atached was a snail with a few other tetras having a look. Not knowing what to do I...

Hi, It seems I need to organize a dedicated Growing out Tank for the continuing broods of bristlenose. I was using my 2 1/2 foot tank, but has now ended up with a few other species in it for a tank of its own. The bristle nose wont stop comming so I figure I may as well try growing a large...
