    Java Fern Rhizome INSIDE the coconut

    Hey folks, I didn't see anything relating to my question so i thought I would post it. I have recently put a few coconut halves in my aquarium. Each coconut was lightly sanded to remove hairs, lightly sanded the inside and boiled them and rinsed until the water was clear. I have three holes...

    Betta fish with chewed fins.

    Mebbid - Yeah the yoyo is history as of tomorrow, I called a friend and he said he would be glad to put him in his 50G. Haileyjade - I am always on amazon.com and .ca (love them both) It's generally the shipping that kills me to ship anything significant to Canada. As far as I know, there...

    Do you give names to your fish?

    Fish names Never really put much effort into names of fish. My snails and Ghost shrimp have names. all the ghost shrimp have French names (Philippe , Etienne etc) My snails are usually names around speed/haste (Chop chop, PDQ etc.)

    python no spill and fill

    I was just checking out a video at the python website and saw a demo of the no spill and fill system. It looks great but does it really work well? Imight only have a 36G but filling with a bucket is a pain in the butt. Or does anyone recommend something else. If it is worth the cash, I just...

    ac filters self prime if power goes out?

    I am currently running an AC50 with no power outages yet. But i have had 3 AC20'S that have reprimed themselves during a power outage. The first one I had reprimed itself after 2 days of power outage when my apt building had a fire (needless to say my fish were not happy) but i have never...

    Overstocked..OR..How screwed am I ?

    well i went out and got a 36 gallon bowfront tank from petsmart for only 199.99 saved $80 with my card. Though i HAVE to buy this python item everyone on here is talking about, took me way look long to fill it using a 6qt container lol. (re-read the boob comment on page 1 for those that missed...

    Overstocked..OR..How screwed am I ?

    Well i have to say, i used to have a 10 gallon with loads of guppies ( years and years ago) and they were healthy and happy so i figured i knew what i was doing. After this mess boy oh boy i have come to the conclusion that i don't know Jack schmidt about fish keeping. :lol: After doing some...

    Overstocked..OR..How screwed am I ?

    That's awesome. I have read so much about fishless cycles I wasn't really aware of a fish in cycle. Thanks folks : )

    Overstocked..OR..How screwed am I ?

    Heh decided to go with a larger tank. One that comes with a stand at petsmart one of those bow front tanks. A little pricey but then i can at least do a fishless cycle before adding the fish andpick up a larger Aqua clear filter instead of the one that cine with it. The question is now,is it...

    Overstocked..OR..How screwed am I ?

    Not a bad idea. A friend wants a bigger tank, then i will give her my 10 gallon withsome fish. I guess thats the best option. At least then they will survive and she will be happy.

    That was my first choice, but he didn't keep the receipt and the lfs won't take returns without it.

    Overstocked..OR..How screwed am I ?

    heres the thing, I recently upgraded to a 10 gal tank with a aquaclear20 filter, heater plants and was nicely cycled before i added my fish. My housemate decided he liked the fish (was not happy at first that got a 5 gal then upgraded to the 10) but hes enthusiastic about it now. SO much so...

    Greetings from Kingston, Ontario canada

    Oh yes i cycled the tank. Thats the first thing i did before adding fish. 11 inches? holy smokes. I guess the guy at finaddicts here in kingston was off the mark. he said that it would only grow to a few inches and is the best algae eater (besides the clown pleco ...was sold out) for my size...
