Do male gouramis get tubercles on their gill covers? When one of my fancy goldfishs' first had them coming in, I thought it was ich, but turned out just to be that trait.

Yay! What's everyone going to use theirs for? I'm probably going to get one when I get to my new place, and then sit on it for a month or two while I figure that out, lol. Might silicone some dividers to the bottom and make a tiered planted setup or something.

Been a long day, all that's left worth mentioning is the 36" Hagen Glo, the 55g and the biggest piece of driftwood. All three for $45, still for pickup. wood is roughly 16wx18hx9d

Yea, fluorite is a pain. If I get too much cloudiness after a fill, I just do a few big water changes until it gets to a satisfactory level of clarity. It'll settle eventually.

I head myself off at the pass and desperately want fish that are practically impossible to find and that I've never seen locally in the four states I've lived in, or for sale online :)

the arboretum. Went there again just now, tanks are normal prices, no signs up about a sale yet. Maybe I missed the ad in the mail about it starting soon, but I thought I remembered it being on their in-store event calendar last time.

Shoot, I saw this on my phone while I was out but forgot to swing by the PetCo on the way home to check. Gonna head over there now to see if they have their flier in the window. Edit: Their October events sign was up, but no $/gal sale listed on it. I did see an endcap of tanks though that had...

The 405 or a light may be doable, but I'm not sure how much shipping would cost. I'd expect between 10-20 for UPS or FedEx. What were you looking at? If no one takes the lot by the end of the weekend I could hold onto something small like that. It's mostly just a matter of time in my situation...

75$ for everything below. All or nothing. Will have until early next week at the latest, after that it's gone. 56g tank w/ stand, 2x24w t5ho currentusa fixture, Fluval 405 filter 55g tank, no stand, Satellite LED 48-60" light, AC110 filter 29g tank w/ metal petco stand, Hagen Glo t5ho 2x39w...

I don't like euthanizing fish unless absolutely necessary, but sometimes situations arise where it's the lesser of two evils. Release a non-native fish into the wild, or humanely kill and dispose of it? As much as I like the thought of said fish possibly living out its days in happiness in...

It's possible to do a lot of things that are thought of as unorthodox to get results when you're an experienced fishkeeper - but these things should not be attempted by beginners because it will likely result in a bad outcome. That's one reason you see the longer, safety-guaranteed method...

Mine usually don't smell very sulfury until I give them a good shaking.

New Life Spectrum - can't remember who suggested it to me when I got back into the hobby 3.5 years ago but I owe them a huge thanks.

I agree with this. I go between NLS and Omega and every time I bring a fish in to hand off to the LFS they always tell me how healthy and great looking they are :)

Ahh flawless timing! I'm moving across the country and had to give up all my tanks... but when I arrive at my new home, the sale will be on, so I can get my one tank I'm allowed to have in the new place :) I'm so excited! When I bought one at the last sale I managed to get one of the last...

Life demands that give up all my aquarium stuff and I wanted to offer it here first since this was such a great community while I was back into the hobby. Please note that with the exception of the livestock and plants, this is all or nothing, and I can only sell it to you if you are able to...

One of my absolute favorite plants. Was unable to find it locally until last year in my neck of Texas. With how lush and vibrant green it can get, you'd think it would have higher requirements. I've only grown it under low/very low light and had great results.

Currently down to two - 55 and 56 gallons. Once upon a time I had three, one of which was a 100g, but I've learned that every time I get a large-ish aquarium, fate conspires to set events in motion that make me sell it :)

I've beaten stag and BBA with glut in the past. If you keep a tight regiment with it, you'll see steady results.

Metricide 28: 2.5% Metricide 14: 2.6% (According to Metrex website)

Picked up my Melon Barbs today - cleaned the store out. There were only 7 of them and they'd been at the store for months and months. After having the same one leap out of the net/bag as I was trying to acclimate them (he hit the wall once, the carpet the other time), they are all doing great so...

So one of the Nandus nebulosus is a little adventurous, or realizes that if he comes out of the coconut house at some point he'll get blackworms. Either way, he comes out when the lights are off, and when they come on, goes stiff and refuses to move until they turn off 6 hours later. Even when...

My gallon of Metricite 14 just arrived - yay! Ordered another dosing bottle from GLA too. I love those things. I'm toying with the idea of swapping the AC110 with the Fluval 405 from my 56g because it has a spray bar. That or getting a Koralia Nano 240 to create a small amount of flow across...

Well, I bought a silly "coconut house" over the weekend for the Nandus nebulosus. They are the most shy fish I've ever had so they needed the love. When I introduced them to the tank, they sat on the bottom in a pile playing dead for a good hour until I turned all the lights off and went to the...
