    Mudskipper tank

    I know this thread is a few months old but if you have any questions about mudskippers I can help you out. The thread that autumsky posted I posted heavily in. I owned mudskippers for about 8 years

    What is this creature?

    Im thinking suck them up with a turkey baster. They 100% look like fish fry. Im guessing maybe cories as they like to lay their eggs on leaves. hard boil some eggs and feed them the yolk

    Leaving Figure 8 Puffers for week.

    Never tried this but the idea just came to me. get a 2 liter bottle and fill it with tank water. put some food inside for the snails and then throw some snails in there and then lay the bottle on the bottom of the tank. hopefully the snails will slowly come out after eating the food and the f8...

    New fancies

    I have a 29 gallon and I said I am about 10 gallons to small meaning I should have a 40 gallon. I dont think a 29 gallon will be a problem for a year. I am in the process of looking for homes and I am getting married so once I get a new house they will be in a 50+ gallon tank.

    Free: Free media/sponge.

    That would be perfect. I set up a fancy goldfish tank and when I added the fish the cycle collapsed. No idea what happened. I'm trying to find filter media. My LFS refused to sell me any. So right now I'm doing water changes every other day to save my fish. The fish seem fine and aren't going to...

    Using a heater with higher wattage?

    Most people suggest 2 lower wattage heaters. So if 1 gets stuck on it won't fry the tank assuming the other wont malfunction Sent from my iPad using Aquarium Advice

    Free: RAOK : white worm culture start

    I would feed these to several different things. I have my African dwarf frog who would love these. I also have a brackish tank that has many fish that only eat live or frozen foods. My bumble bee gobies would enjoy them along with my freshwater sole, and mudskippers. I already feed my gobies...

    High Nitrates in tap water

    No. Would the age of the home I live in matter? I looked up the testing in my city and the highest recorded value was ~4ppm. I may bring my water to home depot to be tested. Sent from my iPad using Aquarium Advice

    High Nitrates in tap water

    I live in philly. I am using API liquid test. My pH is 7.6 and I would like it just a tad higher. I will have to go get some distilled water to calibrate the test. I tested my tank and it was off the charts. The test looked like cranberry juice. Can anyone recommend a RODI filter? What is the...

    High Nitrates in tap water

    My tap water is reading 20+ppm. My tank is brackish and I am thinking of buying a reverse osmosis filter but I don't know what I would have to add back in to the water. I also don't want large pH fluctuations. I have a few plants. My specific gravity is 1.003. I plan on adding more Java moss...

    Figure 8 puffer fish tips

    i dont seem to have luck with f8 puffers. I have a brackish tank with BBGs, my nitrates are always low, the temperature is around 78, 1.005 SG. They are fine for about 4 months then one day they are just dead. I feed them plenty of pond snails and ramshorns to trim their beak/teeth. I have owned...
