I have been reading a lot about all of the nasty little organisms you can find in an aquarium and think it may be a good idea to get some long gloves. I also think it would protect the fish from my lotion, soap etc residue. I'm also getting sick of washing my arm up to the shoulder after I have...
I was just at the Steinhart Aquarium in San Francisco and was enjoying the most beautiful and healthy, vibrant red-tailed sharks I had ever seen. On the little sign next to their aqaurium it was noted that this species is extinct in the wild and exists now only in the aquarium trade. :x Is this...
If I add a fish and Bio-spira at the same time will the bacteria have enough to eat at the beginning? I definately don't want to spend the money on the stuff just to starve out all the bacteria when I put them into my tank. Or should I feed the fish generously at first to get enough nitrogenous...
