    Ageing fish and looking to replacing them.

    It's been awhile since I've been on and I need some help, imagine that! My current 29g has been running for over 3 years and, sadly, the original fish are slowly starting to pass away. I'm looking to replace them with some new species, any and all ideas are welcome. Here's my current list: Male...

    Cell phone company frustration.

    Alright so my cell phone battery wont hold a charge. I'm lucky if, after a night of charging, I get 60% charged. This morning it was 40%! I went to the local store to try and get a battery and they told me that they don't carry batteries anymore. Since I am not the account holder, I can not do...

    Water sprite question

    In my 10 betta tank, I have a very large water sprite that has kinda taken over. I like it as does my betta, he sleeps in it. I woke up this morning, turned on the tank light and seen a stalk had sprouted out of the water/tank where the filter cutout is. If I leave it alone, will it flower?

    Sy-fy movies.

    Yes I do like the sy-fy movies that have large reptiles,fish,insects and animals. Last night I caught frankenfish and it was really good. My favorite would be the Tremors movies. Anybody else like these type of movies?

    My puppy got spayed.

    My golden retriever Sadie was spayed today and as much as she can be a pain in the butt, I kinda feel sorry for her. With 3 other big dogs we have to keep her in a crate,I HATE these, to keep her calm. The anesthesia is still wearing off and she threw up all over the back seat of my moms Durango...

    Heater went through the roof:(

    It's been a bad day all around. My heater decided to malfunction It didn't shut off, just superheated my tank water! My thermometer reading goes to 86, and I'd guess the water temp was at least 95! The outside glass was warm to the touch. Scooped 6 dead fish out, 3 neons, 2 harliqune rasboras...

    Thoughts on column tanks

    I was explaining/showing my mom how pricey new tanks are today. We were on the petsmart website and she fell in love with this: http://www.petsmart.com/product/index.jsp?productId=11390248&lmdn=Shape&f=PAD%2FpsNotAvailInUS%2FNo. I want to go look at it in store before I order it online. I'm not...

    Whats your name?

    We all have 'handles' here. But what's your real life name? Some people know each other but I'm sure a majority of us are known by our handles. So, I'll start. My name is Drew and I'm 23.

    Staring at a seemingly emply tank.

    Alright, so my 29 gallon isn't really empty. All my fish are comparatively small. My male Bolivian ram and clown pleco are the biggest fish and hang at the bottom/low level of the tank. I have Rasboras, black skirt and neon tetras, sterbial Cory cats, Bolivian ram, clown pleco and kuhli...

    Leaving on an extended vacation.

    On Thursday I'll be leaving on a dream vacation to Alaska and the Yukon, I'll be gone for 11 days. I've entrusted my brother to care for my fish and I made a feeding list. He's ensured he'll take care of the feedings, he's 20, and very responsible so no real problem there. I know he will watch...

    Fish driving me nuts!!! :)

    Both my Bolivian rams have staked out separate territories on different sides of the tank and for the most part, leave each other alone. But every few weeks, after a water change, they swap territories for a day or two. This occurred today. Does anyone else's fish do something that just doesn't...

    Bolivian ram sexual maturity.

    So I have a m/f 'pair' if you will. They haven't bred yet but I know they are m/f. I've had my male for over a year and he's pretty big. I've had the female since late summer/early fall of last year. When I got her, she was small but has grown a bit. Still noticeably smaller than my male. They...

    Itch to start another tank.

    This morning I have the urge to start a 3rd tank. Nothing big max I'd go is 5 gallons. And it would most likely be just for plants. I'm sure I could very easily convince my mom into it. The key is the initial start up cost and I need a place to put it. Here is what my equipment list +/- a few...

    New betta!

    I was at petsmart today and brought this beauty home. Of all the bettas they had, this guy was alert and flared when I touched the cup. He came home to a 10 gallon all to himself.

    Dipping plants in peroxide.

    I have read that doing this will destroy snail and snail eggs. I've never tried this before and I'm just asking if it's true. Today I'm planning on redoing my 10 gallon and messing with my 29. Do I just get a bottle of hydrogen peroxide and let the plants sit in it for 5 minutes or so, then...
