    Tiny white spots on rocks?

    They will lay eggs no matter what. They also won't hatch in freshwater very often so no worries about over populating the tank. I have had one snail in one of my tanks for a couple of years and she is always laying eggs.

    Tiny white spots on rocks?

    Sounds like nerite snail eggs. Is that the kind of snail you have? I know they seem like almost impossible to remove.

    Fancy guppies acclimation

    I've never had a problem of acclimating fish. No matter where I get my new fish from I always drip acclimate them to my water. May take a couple hours or more, but never had a problem with doing it that way.

    Where can i find black play sand??

    You can usually find it at places that sell welding things and such. I went directly to the distributer here called mohawk materials. Just google blasting sand in your area and you should find someplace. I have it in about 5 tanks right now, no problems what so ever. But it does take a lot of...

    Lake Victorian cichlid care

    Since I keep 3 different types, I keep them separate so they don't hybridize. In the Ruby green tank which is a 55 I have 15, In the mbipi tank which is a 90 there is mbipi, and afras, I couldn't tell you how many are in it. The fulu tank which is a 50 with fry there is probably close to 75 in...

    Lake Victorian cichlid care

    What kind of Vics do you have, I have mbipi, ruby greens and fulus? They like a ph of 7.8 to 8.2 lots of hiding places. Omnivores, but need more veggie than meat. To much meat can cause bloat. Most will hybridize with other vics. Most are on a species protection program.

    Angels

    Even buying angels from different places that are big enough to sex, you may not get a pair out of them. Best thing would be is to get 10 to 12 quarter size angels, and as they grow out they will pick out their mates. Then you can sell the others. Right now I have 55 of them in various sizes in...

    Powerhead question......

    I've only had 2 out of I don't know how many, but I have 24 tanks and all I had to do was replace the impellers.

    Powerhead question......

    Are you sure you have it connected tight. If it didn't seat right it will do that.

    Powerhead question......

    Pull out the impeller and make sure there is no crud around it or in the base where the impeller goes. I had one that had gotten a snail in there and it rattled like crazy till I cleaned that out.

    Questions about otoclincus

    Oto's also don't eat very many types of algae, mostly the algae they eat is the film that grows on your glass, and the brown algae. So even if a piece in your established tank doesn't look like it has anything on it, it will have a biofilm on it that they will enjoy.

    Questions about otoclincus

    To get them to eat you might try taking some deco or plants out of your established tank and put into the quarantine tank. There should be some algae on them for them to eat.

    Does this Canopy look like a coffin?

    Coffins are also kind of rounded at the top. I think it looks almost just like the canopy I just bought. You did a great job.

    I'm in need of a little help ASAP.

    Depending on the type of mollie they can get up to 3 to 4 inches. I had some black mollies that got to 3 inches. I have used Tetra aquasafe and its ok, I just like prime better. The snail eaters that died was probably loaches, They probably died from shock going into a tank with a lot cooler...

    Moving... Help!

    Put your filter in a bucket of tank water keeping the filter material wet. If it isn't to long of a distant you can take the bucket to the new place and plug the filter in to keep the bacteria alive.

    How the hobby helped.

    I am so sorry for your loss, I went through the same thing about 3 weeks ago. My little dog had cancer all through her body. Even though I didn't want to loose her I didn't want her suffering anymore so I had to make that dreadful decision. But I also made the decision to have her cremated and...

    Scarlet Badis

    I have some of these and they are finicky eaters, preferring live food. I have found that if you have a powerhead at one end of the tank, which I use a very small one as mine are in a 15 gal. they will take frozen rather well as the food is moving in the water as if its alive. Mine are taking...
