I posted last week about my concern over how much aquarium salt the company I work for adds to their tanks. I tested the tanks and found that the water circulates well enough to keep the salinity to an almost inmeasurable level.. I feel better about that. But my store has a policy that no fish...

work for a corporate pet store. I'm a fish specialist. However, I don't have any say against store regulations, especially rules governed by "veterinarian's advice." Our store keeps a container of salt in almost every fresh water aquarium. The individual tanks are about 6-8 gallons each, and 9...

Please help me, Im taking care of a friend's sw tank. It had two groupers and one puffer yesterday, and they are sick with parasite/bacteria. I was supposed to medicate them and feed them. I did so, and today, my to my shock and chagrin, one grouper and the puffer are dead. The ammonia tests at...

Just curious as to the price ranges of gold nugget plecos in all of our different areas. Here they range from $80.00- $29.00 for plecos no larger than 3" in length.

Anyone know where I can get a new O ring and impeller for my canister filter? Or anyone have a new/used complete one for sale?

Shark Dies at Aquarium A freak accident at the Oklahoma Aquarium kills a shark. Aquarium officials say the shark died after jumping out of its tank. It’s believed a bull shark was chasing the female when she jumped. There is some good news, however. An autopsy shows that the shark was...

All of the sudden my giant gourami had popeye, my angel has mouth fingus, and there is a slimy yet fuzzy looking substance scattered across the sides of my tank on the glass. This stuff is whitish, looks like tiny loops, blows in the current, yet is slimy to the touch. I don't know what it is-...

Two of my bettas, a wild female and a large, crimson and teal male spawned recently. I was very happy to see the female lay her eggs while the male fertilized them and then caught them in his mouth and placed them into the bubble nest- this has been the first time I tried to breed a pair...

Okay, guys- I think I'm going to take the sw plunge and turn my new 55 gal. hex into a mini reef. But I NEED YOUR HELP please! :) What wattage of light bulbs do I need for corals/anemones? Right now it's just equipped with two 20 watt blue/purple "colormax" bulbs. Is CC better, or should I...

My fiancee just bought a brand new 55 gal hex tank for me as a wedding gift!!! I've been thinking of doing a NW cichlid tank, so this is IT! (Or should I do salt?) A new tank!!! :multi:

http://www.grassfire.org/7026/moore_introdraft.pdf For everyone who's heard of Michael Moore's Farenheit 9/11, read this draft portion of grassroots.org 's booklet Michael Moore's Misleads. I for one saw clips of the movie and was disgusted with the entire theme. The liberal media and Moore...

My bettas spawned... how long until the eggs hatch?

I have a cat, a very large cat. He isn't overweight- he's just very tall and long. He's about 3' long when he stretches out head to back feet. He purrs and you think it's a Harley coming up the street. he's a tuxedo cat. Not the most common feline! So he carries the S gene that causes vivid...

I was surfing around looking for articles about animals when I found this photo. If I ever saw one of these in person without it being in a cage or some sort of confinement, I don't know WHAT I'd do. http://urbanlegends.about.com/library/bl_camel_spider.htm

Okay, I'm thinking of adding a new tank to my collection. The LFS always delcares that oscars cannot be kept with any other fish. However, I notice they do fine with large and small plecos. So my idea is this. I'd like to get a 75 gal tank, put in a couple of the same size red oscars, and one...

I DID suck my parakeet up in the vacuum. I did NOT mean to. I was vacuuming the hulls up from around his cage with the hose. Let me rewind to a previous story to help you understand the extremely inquisitive nature of my bird. It was time to feed my goldfish. I had the parakeet out, and he was...

Yesterday I posted about the hot conditions here in OKlahoma, and how my tank temp went skyrocketing up to 84 degrees. My fish were all losing their color, and staying low in the tank. Today I closed the blinds differently so no sun shines in and turned the lights off so the heat wouldn't be a...

With this hot weather in Oklahoma my fish tank has been waaay to warm! Our airconditioning unit in our 2 bedrm 1930s apt does not do the job. After lunch I came home and found all my fish stressed, losing color, on the bottom of the tank. The temp was 84 degrees Farenheit! I didn't know what to...

What did you think of M. Night Shyalaman's movie, The Village? I thought it was wonderful! Went to see it last night, there were about 750 people in the theatre! People were fighting for seats... it was a mad house. All through the movie Jr Higher girls were screaming during the intense...

Was wondering if anyone knows of a site online that I could buy aquarium plants from, possibly at a cheaper price than the lfs? Some of the plants at the lfs are $29... (the good ones) the little scraggly 4 stems-in-a-bundle ones are $2.99, and a little pot of grass and inch tall is $4.99 I want...

One of the LFS around here is selling 2 1/2 inch gold nugget plecos for $79.99. My friend has one she paid $1.89 for at our store. Her bf thinks the jump in price must mean they're endangered. I highly doubt that. What are the gold nugget pleco prices in your areas?

I'm wondering if any of you out there share my betta obsession, and if you do, I'd love to hear about your rare colored ones (and even your normal reds!!) or anything you've got to say about them... Since I work in the fish dept I see all the betta shipments when they first arrive, and usually...
