I'd wonder how someone would catch them all? the task would be excrutiating, and could they multiply in counteraction? If they kill too much to the point of losing the signifigance of your tank, try finding a known predator to them, and let them have it. If I lose my tank to a pest, I usually go...

Hello. I am not a very great story to tell, but the story of how I got hooked on fish may be. I was very young, and as one of my first memories, I remember my grandfather's aquarium in his bar in brooklyn. I was barely able to get up on the barstool to gawk at the immense fish in this tank, but...

i started my marine tank with my mollie, then added a tomato clown. a week later, two days ago, i added a b/w striped damsel, and the clown dominated. today the clown and mollie both are laying low while the damsel swims freely. i miss the clown doing the same, and wonder if hes in danger. i...

i know it is off subject, but since you know about all of these demises, maybe someon here can help? My tank started with a mollie i converted from fw to brackish to sw. i added a tomato clown last week, and a black and white striped damsel 2 days ago. now the mollie and clownprimarily lay low...

you wouldn't happen to know sponges as well as corals, and when to add corals, would you? I just started a marine tank with a brackish mollie from 8 months ago, got a sponge, and only hope its alive, the store owner told me to add corals last. I already dont trust them on their word. they...

good god the horrors! not 500 gallons! The bloody tank wasnt 500 gallons, it could not fit in the darned house if it was. I saw a 5 gal with rickety stand, 15- 20 ish gal pitifully sprawled on the ground, I dared not approach..... these tanks could not be in a more doubtful condition, and i...

oh god, i saw it today..... the horrors! aghh! no sale here.

would anyone mind explaining the difference between the two, marine and aquarium?

My wife and i were offered a supposed 500 gal tank. it is said to be8 ft by 3 i think, and 2 tall. I would like to get it for my wife for her pacu, who are supposed to get quite large. She loves them. I however suspect that the tank is more like 300 gal. What do you think? also, it is supposed...

I raised my brabkckish tank's salinity to 1.010, but it dropped to 1.007. Three days later my pleco, zebra danios died. All the others lived. Mollies, Rosy barbs, Hatchet fish, Red eyed tetras cory cat(the one i figure would not like the new salinity, but did) and my upside down cat. I think the...

My plecos and catfish Albino cory and upside down, all do fine in the 1.00 salinity and now 1.010 salinity that i just adjusted as such. So are my barbs and tetras, and let me not go there about the mollies. and bye bye worms too since 1.00 salinity. Bienvenue mes autres canadiens!

Fret not. I have been countless times told to experiment fearlessly, and experience the unknown , because all are different. If worried I have been told to feed smaller and more often portions. Also I have found a raised salinity to calm aggressive tiger barbs that I had had previous problems...

I suspect them to have been fed in the store you got them from, probably. Also I suspect some foods to contain therm naturally, like algae discs, just a thought. I may be wrong, but I have been told that they may be re animated worms that are fed through the different worm foods(tubifex, blood)...

I just finished raising my tank's salinity to 1.010, and all of my fish have successfully converted. I would like to get a bumblebee goby to add some life to the aquarium. Hoowever I have 4 baby mollies and two adults, 3 danios, 2 rosy barbs, 1 small, 1 med; two red eyed, 2 hatchet tetras, and a...

Hey again, just a safety precaution here for HUMANS. Don't Do like I just did and have a bowl of cereal without checking your milk first. I was soo caught up typing, I had an entire bowl. I finished and submitted, then went for some more milk, Which smelled, well, just a little akward. I dumped...

I believe that the less contaminants, such as cat slobber, in a tank, the better. I'd just keep a keen eye on the tank AND Mr MCSQUEEKERS. MY cat had done a similar thing, so I pointed after picking him up and firmly said NO while pointing. He meowed indifference, and tried the next day, and I...

Oh, almost Forgot, I learned much of my Start ups tricks from My father who learned it from a man named Chio from P.R., and a few other friends while growing up, So here's to father and son projects, and the futures the may bring.

I don't know how many times I've set up due to moving or infestation related restart(people never listen to me when I say not to do this or that). I have dabbled with this or that, never using much other than Easy Balance or Start right, and all of the tanks, I turn Brackish.I always put danios...

I only can hope that they are snails, as water fleas or beetles would just plain tick me off. I've never seen sacks of that colour, yet have yet to experience the mystery or rams head breeds. Perhaps my hatchets, danios, cory, upsid edown, or pleco and red eyes will eat them? The anticipation is...

Thank you all, and sorry, forgot that the tank size wasnt listed, it IS a 30 gal. tank. the emperor, penguin sound good and I have seen, but the filstar is new to mine ears and eyes, mates. Ill investigate further, by the way: does this filstar,s cannister fit well into tight areas? I seek the...

whoa! I think mine were pregnant, but all four mysteriously disappeared. I suspect the cory catfish of the extermination, but he never appeared enlarged, nor did the rubber lipped pleco, nor the tetras, all of whom share predatory traits against snails in the past. they ate the eggsacks(just my...

My tank is nice, yet I don't like the matter of a rear mounted external filter, because once I move, I'll be trying the more space efficient method arranging my home. (Feng Shui all the way, for peace of mind.) The solution, in tank filtration. I love my tank, and want it in the bedroom, because...

oh! I forgot to check where you are from until now! I am a dual citizen of us and Canada. Hows Alberta, last time I was there was 12 years ago. God, I miss Canada. Bienvenue

interested in silver hatchet tetras? If you are interested, silver hatchete teras, along with a multitude of other tetras, and danios love to eat bugs from the surface. I used to get mosquitos that were biting me and ants that had gotten in my pantry, and in the tank they went. what fun it was...

I have had zebra danios and 2 kinds of snails in the past. The snails aer the ones that I found the eggs of. the danios are good hiders. The snails eggs were in a similar case on plants and the sides of the tank, and Ive even seen them laying the eggs. Sounds like snail eggs.
