egg eatin Ok thanks for the help.

Can anyone tell me how to breed cherry barbs? I have 2 females and a male. Both females were fat and now Im pretty sure one has laid eggs somewhere in the tank because she is alot thinner now. How long do the eggs have to sit before they hatch? Thanks Marv

freshwater mix What do you mean freshwater mix? I have been buying the frozen ones they sell at the LFS, the ones with Omega in them. Like the little ice cube ones.

reply Thanks Aries, that was very helpful information. I was wondering, how many times a day do you feed your fish? And after I finish off these brine shrimp I'll try blood worms for a bit.

wood diffuser So the co2 will leak through the wood? Like a chopstick or a tooth pick? Or a wooden dowl?

Diffuser Ok, i see what you mean. I didnt even know I needed one of those. Do you have picture or pictures of your DIY co2 setup? I would like to see a good setup for a 10g, and if yours is fine then I would like to try it. How long has yours been setup? This is what I found CO2 Nano...

diffuser Like I said I dont really know anything about co2, so I dont know what a diffuser is I guess. Is that like the filter?

Ok so I finally want to learn about Co2 equiptment. I just dont understand it I guess, but I want to put it in my planted 10g without killing my fish. I have seen those DIY pop bottle ideas and Im at home this weekend so I think I want to make one. But before I put it into my tank I need to...

Hey all, I started feeding my adult guppies frozen brine shrimp and they eat alot of it! Their bellies get huge after feeding. They aren't really interested in the flake food anymore though. Would it hurt my fish to eat this much brine shrimp? And what else could I feed them to get the rest...

response Yes, thank you very much for your help. Thanks Marv

Ok so I think Im going to stop buying frozen brine shrimp and start to hatch my own. I dont really know how the hatchers work but I have some questions if anyone knows. 1. I have heard that you shouldnt waste your time with any eggs unless they say 90% hatch on them, is this true or good...

Wow, i guess i didnt know they dont breed the same. Can you sex them all the same way or is that different too? Thanks for the info btw Marv

Phantom Ya thats the one. Do you breed them?

Hi I was wondering if there were any pleco breeders around here lol. Im not real sure what I am looking for but I like those L200 plecos, Idk for sure what there called. Does anyone breed any? I might be interested in buying 1 or 2 if you had any for sale. Thanks Marv

what about freshwater tank I am using a freshwater tank. Would that make difference on how much weight I could use? And I guess I dont totally understand the egg carton thing. Do you have any pictures of this process or know where I could go to see how its done, sounds interesting. Thanks Marv

Hi I just recently found a bunch of cool rocks that I thought about putting in an aquarium (kind of a wall effect). I was just wondering if anyone knows the lbs per gallon ratio? I wouldnt think they could hold that much weight but i have heard of people putting 300lbs of live rock in their...

Hornwort Awesome, that sounds perfect. Im going to call my LFS tommorw to have them order some.

Hornwort (cont) That looks like a good plant to kep the fry to hide in. How hard is it to keep alive? Such as, type of lighting, how much light you give them each day, and whether you add anything else, like flourish or something? Im pretty new to the game. Any info is appreciated. Thanks Marv

Horwort Ok thanks ill check that out.

Hiding places Well as soon as these bulbs start to grow I'll try to let them birth naturally, but both of my females have had babies at least once while ive had them and Im pretty sure they ate them all. I was just wondering how long i could keep her in the breeder box before it started to...

types of fish with guppies I only have 2 female guppies a cory cat and a ghost shrimp in a 10g tank. I have a sponge filter that is too big (for a 35g) and a cool rock that I put in the middle I found out in my grandmas pasture. I planted some of those "top fin live plant bulbs" that you can...

Ok so I have been watching my guppy for about a week now. I think she is finally ready to give birth. In the past couple days she has been hanging around the heater off and on. So I put her into one of those plastic breeder boxes and shes been in there since last night. My question is, how...

watt per gallon Oh really, well I didnt know that either. Im going to try to get a glass top today if the roads arent too bad. We just had an ice storm last night so idk, but ill definetly have one before the weekend is out. Thanks to both of you. Marv

glass top Thank you thats a great idea, i think that will be easiest for me. Marv

So I want to turn my 10g into a planted aquarium. I bought some of those top fin bulbs from petco and would like to get them to grow. I need to know what a good hood light would be for a 10g? I have seen the one they sell at walmart for about 20$, Im not sure on the watts but I believe that...
