    'Interesting' fish showing up in chain pet stores

    Hate to say this, but all of our fish were "interesting" and "exotic" at one time and we've all contributed to the trade. :? Best thing we can do as fish lovers is politely educate the LFS via our purchasing habits and subtle conversations w/LFS employees. Or we can be blunt and demand...

    Newbie questions re:temp, algae, behavior

    Um, yes they do...? Yep, mine has grown quickly since I got him 5 months ago. Good excuse to go out and purchase a larger tank, although may have to follow your lead when he outgrows it. Didn't realize aquariums were so addictive. :D Will be researching my pleco further to determine the...

    Newbie questions re:temp, algae, behavior

    HI there. Just a few quick questions for my new 10 gal. 1. Most effective at removing algae: snails or algae eaters? 2. If my aquarium gets too hot (i.e. no AC in FL), is there a way to cool it down? Ice cubes? 3. I'm fish-sitting a friend's tank which has 2 rainbow sharks. I felt bad for...
