It depends on the type of shrimp you get before it adds to the bioload. If you are adding more ghost shrimp, go ahead, their bioload is relatively small so you can add a few more. The way to introduce them, if you are afraid of them getting eatten, is to use a tube, have the end of the tube...

Hi, Yup, a pea puffer is another name for a dwarf puffer. They cost 2.59 at PetSmart near me and 1.99 at a small lfs near my friend. so around 2-3 dollars maybe? Good luck with your dp tank. Cheers :)

Actually it is a federal law not to sell turtles under 4 inches. Places that do sell hatchlings just give them free when you purchase the tanks and give crappy information on how to raise them. =/ Cheers :)

Hi, I saw this fish at PetCo and I'm so entranced by them. I was wondering if anyone had any experience with them. Can they be kept in a 5 gallon if not, can they be kept with a rainbow tail shark? Some sites say they eat flakes and pellets, does anyone know what brand? Thanks

Hi, If memory serves correctly, I thought a stinkpot could live in a ten gallon. Just need to have a good filtering system. Turtles produce a lot of waste. Here are some links that I normally frequent for my turtle. http://austinsturtlepage.com/ http://www.chelonia.org/...

I heard it was a bad idea to mix sand and goldfish. I read that in a book and got some advice from some diehard goldfish people on another fish site. Something about how they scavenge around sometimes in the rocks for bits of food and the sand becoming lodged somewhere. Can't remember the...

Not sure if this would be an explanation for your shrimps death, but I have had some shrimp in a tank with a few guppies. The guppies kind of picked at the shrimps, I found some dead shrimp bodies and the guppies kinda picking at the dead ones. This is only a guess, but maybe the fish are slowly...

^_^ Thanks for the quick reply. I will be testing to see if it works Wednesday night. :) Cheers :)

Hi, I received a used 25W Tronic Heater and it did not come with instructions. I have no experience with this heater. Is it like old heaters? Where you place the heater in the tank, plug it in, and set it to the temperature. After an hour, unplug the heater, wait awhile, then replug to see if...

I know nothing of your layout, but to help save your tetras and please your shark, you can provide decorations, rock caves, plants, pvc pipes, etc. This will provide the shark with an abundance of places to dominate, and the plants can provide a hiding place for the tetra. Also, you can net your...

Hi, I know of the King Aquarium store. Nice, but a bit expensive. I just like to browse their fish selection. They are a last result for me. :) My girlfriend's friend worked there, but he quit, well it's his grandfather's. Couldn't even get hook ups there. :( I'll swing by the store this...

Hi, I'm trying to setup a new tank and I am currently right now browsing for substrates. I am thinking sand, but I don't know if it is compatible with most fish and I do not want to limit my choices. :) On the other handI don't think I want to purchase 20 pounds for 20 dollars at my fish store...

Hi, If your tank doesn't currently have any inhabitants or if the tank is not overstocked yet, you can get some algae eating fish. I heard good things about otos(sp?). Also to help, make sure that it isn't in the path of direct sunlight or not subjected to direct sunlight for prolong periods of...

Hi, Not sure what site you went to, but here are a few links. http://www.fishbase.org/Summary/SpeciesSummary.cfm?ID=7379&genusname=Anableps&speciesname=anableps http://ebiomedia.com/gall/eyes/4eye.html http://fish.mongabay.com/species/Anableps_anableps.html <---This one is the better of the 3...

Hi all, this topic is interesting. If you all want to be disgusted about the human world, read this book by Laurie Garrett, The Coming Plague. It's really nasty. Cheers :)
