    Beefheart supplement

    I've been having a little trouble finding a beef heart and really don't want to mess up the cleaning process. So my question is this, what could I use instead of beef heart for the protein part. I know they need 45-50% protein so for a kilo of food I was going to use 400-425 grams of protein...

    Molding inserts?

    I was just wondering if anyone has molded inserts for their tanks before. I know you can use styrofoam and seal it after but I was thinking smoother things. Styrofoam works great for rock sculptures and caves but being able to mold something would be so much more intense! So many ideas! Any...

    Bristlenose pleco

    I bought a pair of breeding plecos from my lfs and put them in with my female. Now they spawned and I have a bunch of baby plecos. It's been two or three weeks now and I've only seen my male a couple times. Would he be back in his caves spawning again or should I check it out? My other...

    Inch kribs

    So two days ago I noticed that my kribs had a fry... Now the male is maybe an inch and half and the female an inch. They only had three babies but it's not like she could have had much more room inside her for the eggs. The one seems not to have any eyes, Maybe it wasn't done developing but the...

    Betta and shells...

    So I want to purchase a Betta fish for my bathroom... I have some shells that I want to put in it but I'm not sure if it will alter the ph to much. I do plan on changing some of the water every other day so I don't think it will have that much of an impact if any...

    Aquaripure canister

    http://www.aquaripure.com/testimonials.htm?gclid=CMWvxrvwya0CFWgEQAodB1_9hQ There the link to the website. So apparently they'd filters remove nitrate from the water... Many of the reviews so they have little to no recordable nitrate levels. The only thing that doesn't make sense to me is for...
