I dont think a crab that is 1 inch across would be very good eating :lol: Ill hope for the best JMH

Hi, My fidler crab is about an inch across. Lives with three serpae tetras and a zebra danio. Everyone leaves everyone else alone. My crab molted for the second time today. When it was done, its left eye had a big blob of white goop on it (right on the tip or end of its eye). This goop hasnt...

I agree... My brother has a large tank with silver dollars, so if mine gets too big, Ill send it over to that tank. The tetras stay small, as do the danios. Im not conccerned with the AE either, it seems fine. As of now, the bioloading is fine, the water doesnt get high levels of anything...

Hi, I am going away tomorrow for the holidays, and will not be back until the 31st of Dec. I might be able to come by on the 25th in my travels, but that still leaves quite a few days in between. Here's the situation: -2 betta bowls with happy male bettas -6 gal tank with 3 serpae tetras, 1...

Hi, I have a red claw crap in a galaxy5 tank with a regent water pump/filter/biowheel setup. The crab likes to climb, and this morning when I opened the lid to look in, I saw him get startled and climb into the water outlet where the water flows from the pump onto the filter. The hole there is...

Hi, I have a planted tank with 3 tetras 2 danios and a CAE. I also have a small red crab in there. The way my tank is setup, there are no large decorations, just four bunches of plants. Then there is a heater right next to the filter inlet tube, both right in the corner of my tank. Neither of...

one other thing I have noticed is that when he moves, he darts as fast as any algaer eater Ive ever seen, but at the same time his gills are moving really fast, as if he is out of breath (I noticed this when we got him in the bag, and thought maybe it was just that he was scared)

Hi, Yes, I cycled the tank, and the tank has been populated over a month since the start. There are 4 other fish (originals) and a red crab in there, all great. His color is fine, and I have vacuumed the tank and done water changes a number of times. I even used biozyme after putting in the...

Hi, I got a chinese algae eater at petco a few dats ago. The first one died overnight, while all other fish are fine. I got a new one for free, and he is not very active. He sits most of the time, and when he does swim, its like he can barely make himself go in the water, his fins are...

Hi, I have a 5 gal galaxy tank with a real filter and biowheel. I currently have 3 serpae tetras and two zebra danios in there with live plants. I have two questions currently: -I want something to live on the bottom, I had two ghost shrimp, but the other day my apartment's AC broke and the...

Hi, I have a 5 gal tank stocked with 3 serpae tetras, 2 zebra danios, and 2 ghost shrimp. All decor is live plants. On the broad leaf plant (braod green leaves with white dots down the center), the center of some of the leaves most directly under th elight are covered with a brown coating. The...

OK, this may sound dumb, but how do you teach a fish to eat from the top? My tetras dont know to look up there for food. They just get some of the food as the water discharge from the filter knocks some from the surface down into the water. My two ghost shrimp know theres been food added to the...

OK, took the fish out. He was doing really bad, but the others didnt show any signs of it. I didnt have an established quarantine tank, so I took some room temp water in a bucket. Very far from optimal, but if hes going to die, hes going to die in either tank, and so I might as well have him out...

Nope it isnt doing that, I guess its just acting crazy... Thanks JMH

Hi, I have 4 serpae tetras that I added into my water the other day. They are all doing well, but the bigest one is acting somewhat odd. They will all swim together around the tank, but the biggest one from time to tine flips and spins all around in a wild motion, then rights itself and swims...

Hi, OK, here are my specs: Ammonia <0.5 ppm (down from ~1 a week ago) Nitrite 0.5 up from ~0 a week ago) pH 6.0 (down from 7 a week ago) Temp 81F Tank: Galaxy 5 w/ heater, bubbler and biowheel type filter Light: fluroescent Plants: 4 groups, unknown pet store varieties: -one green broadleaf...

Hi, I have recently gotten a 5 gallon filtered and heated tank. It has an established biowheel, and I filled it up with new dirt and gravel, and put in some new plants right away. I have been letting it cycle itself by using the plants and biowheel. I have some questions now, however. -I was...
