Isn't methane blue used to add to newly laid eggs, to prevent disease? What happens if you add to a tank full of live bearers (guppy's, molly's, and two goldfish)???

I am selling my 50 gallon fresh water glass tank with gravel, 24" perfecto light strip, glass top, and other rocks. I have it on a make shift table that you can have too. I currently have it listed on ebay if you would like to see a picture or if you are interested... place a bid. You can email...

Such a cool thing. I was walking by my tank and out of the corner of my eye.... One of my apple snails was setting her egg cluster. Now what? I read on the apple snail web site to keep them moist, so in approx. 14 days the baby snails can hatch. Will keeping the egg cluster moist happen...

I was wondering what the ideal temperature for the 'see-through' cleaner shrimp is? I currently have them in a tank with no heater, but would like to move them in with my tropical community tank. They have a temp about 82°f. Would they be okay? or would they be better off with the goldfish in...

Would any one be interested in a southern Painted turtle about 5 years old? He is a great turtle, but I can not keep him anymore. I am in the Ventura County, California area. Will be willing to deliver , depending on distance. I need to combine tanks and he can not live with the tropical fish...

I have a little cleaner shrimp that died. Should I just leave it in the tank for the rest of the animals to feast on or take it out? The tank is a 7 gallon hex, it has a fiddler crab, 5 clear cleaner shrimp (not including the dead one :wink: ) and 2 apple snails.

Well, not sure if he is sick or not??? Just today ( i watch my fish all the time, so I know when something is new) my platy has a split top fin. I don't know what you call it, but it is the fin on the top of the fish, lining the back.. is that a dorsal fin?? Anyway, it is split vertically in the...

I am looking for some driftwood for sale... Got Wood??? ha, ha Anyway, i checked all the pet stores around here and the items they have are way too big or not big enough???? I am actually looking for a little piece to attach my Java moss to and another piece that is maybe 8" or 9" for my crab to...

I just installed my Eheim 2026 Filter (after much debate on what to get). This filter was installed on my 50 gallon turtle/goldfish/white cloud tank. LEt me just say that those German engineers really knew what they were doing when they built this one. I was temporarly running a Duetto on my...

A friend of mine at work just brought me a freshwater crab. What do i do with him? Can I put him in the fish tank? the guy said to just stick some drift wood in there for him to get out of water. Is this okay? Actually i don't even know what kind of crab he is? He has a large claw, a brown color...

I have two apple snails in my freswater 20 gallon. I am not sure if this is normal, since I have never owned this type of animal, but one of them is just floating on the surface of the water. Is it dead? How do I know if one of these guys is dead or not?

I have some baby mollys that a friend is gonna take (well, some of them) when they are ready to go. So, how do I know when they are ready to go to a new home?

So, I am at work right now and I am going to be taking my fish here at my desk home with me. I am only going to take the 3 white cloud minnows, not the tank. How should I transport? Should I put them in a zip-loc baggie? or a bucket that is about 5"X5"? Any suggestions??? and fast... I am...

I have a Top Fin Power Filter 10 on my hex tank. I think it is about 7 gallons. Anyway, it is a relatively small space and the water that goes back to the tank just kind of dumps in the middle. I have 3 white cloud minnows that don't mind this current too much, but I am going to move them. I...

I don't think my little White Cloud Minnows like their home. I have them at work with me, in a hex tank that by the measurements I think is about 7 gallons. The water is like 75°-80° (room temp). I have a bunch of large marbles on the bottom and a fake aquarium rock decoration in the middle. The...

I have looked everywhere!!! Does anyone know where I can locate the extension inlet tube for the H.O.T Magnum Pro system (with biowheel)? :?: :?:

I just received a little baseball size clump of Java Moss. Now what am I supposed to do with it? I mean like, do I stick it in the gravel? or do I place it on some kind of ornament in the tank? I got it for the fry to hide in, but they are growing so fast, they don't really require it now... but...

so, i have been doing a little research on the Magnum canister filters. It was recomened that this type of filter might be best for me on my Goldfish/turtle 50 gallon. I can't decide which one.... Should I get the HOT Magnum 250 Pro System or the HOT Magnum 250? any thoughts??

I don't really have a sick fish... just a dead one. :cry: I had an all white molly. She was so pretty. She had babies about a week ago and then yesterday, she was found dead at the bottom of the tank. Why? Do mollies often die after giving birth? or maybe she was just old??? How long do the...

I just about had it with finding a good and quiet filter!! I had temporarily stuck one of those Duetto filters in my 50 gallon tank. In the tank are 4 very large goldfish and a southern painted water turtle. Yes. These are all very dirty (well, they all poop allot :oops: ) animals. So, on friday...

A co-worker of mine is getting rid of one of his tanks. I am always up for new aquasitions!!! :lol: I think he said it was like a 200 gallon show tank. So, it is pretty tall and thin. He is going to give me the exact dimensions later today. Anyway, He said it had a small crack in it. Like I...

My water has always been a nice crisp clear color. Last night it was defianatly cloudy. I cleaned the cartridge on the filter and took the cucumber i had in the tank. but this morning it was still cloudy. My levels are all unchanged. I use the test strips, and no change in parameters. Any clue...

My co-worker has a 10 gallon tank on his desk. He had a male and female betta, 2 goldfish, some cleaner shrimp, and a Chineese algae eater. the tank does not have a heater on it. His female betta just died so he put in two guppies. I thought that guppys needed warmer water... a tropical fish. Am...

Here is a pic of the new babies one of the fish had. i am pretty sure they are Mollies, but could someone tell me for sure if these are Guppies or Mollies? Thanks a bunch!!! :?

I found three of these things in my tank yesterday. I have no idea what they are? Is is dirt? some kind of bug? Fry? I have no idea! Thought maybe someone could shed some light on this for me??? Here is the pic... (I am talking a bout the little black thing... if you can see it?)
