Had no idea the membership was recurring. I see the message that I need to cancel it to prevent debits to my checking account, but cannot see how to cancel.

So far, I've only seen three - one gold, one calico and one a muddy brown. None are more than about an inch long. I really had not expected a spawn this summer. I hope there aren't a gazillion of them in there. They look like little fantails to me. When do baby ryukins start showing a hump...

I'm new to shrimp. What are the amanos doing?

I had goldfish in this tank - moved them out to the pond this spring. I let the plants recover, and turned on the heater. 29 gallon high, filtered by a Tetra Whisper EX45, and a Lustar hydro sponge pro 3, with gravel substrate. Plants include Amazon and ozelot sword (swords love this tank)...

I moved the rasboras and neons I had in my planted 20 long to my 29 gallon tonight, along with some male guppies. (It was a brightly colored small fish sort of thing.) So now, I have 6 emerald cories in the tank, and nothing else. I don't want to put a male betta in there - sometimes bettas...

I converted my 29g high tank from a planted goldfish tank to a planted FW tropical tank when I moved my goldfish out to my pond. I started stocking with cardinal tetras. My LFS only had 5, so I added them last week. They huddled together behind the sword plants in a corner of the tank, and I...

I just ordered some after watching three YouTube videos of fish eating from them. What a cool idea for fish who don't feed from the bottom... I'm trying out all the sizes.

I can't wait to see how this corkscrew rush fills out. I just love the form of this plant, which is planted in my bog filter for my new pond.

In a couple of weeks, I am going to have an empty, fully cycled planted 29 gallon tank. I've been using it for a goldfish tank, but the goldfish will be moving out to the pond. I currently am running three filters on it, and will remove one of them that's on the decline. So I'll have a Tetra...

Got up this morning to feed the tanks and saw that the weeks of singing and mating finally had results. ADF eggs on the salvinia minima... I have no idea if they will hatch riding on top of floating plants. If they do, I have no idea what I'll do with survivors.

I have a 275 gallon galvanized stock tank that I've used for the last 5 years as a water feature. This past winter, I decided I wanted to convert it into a small goldfish pond and build a bog filter for it. Recommendations for the size of a bog filter run from 10 to 20% of the total capacity...

I'm in the process of building my bog filter for my 275 gallon stock tank to convert it into a goldfish pond. (Taking photos each step of the way, and will do a bog filter build thread in this forum when it's complete, which I expect to be on or before the first of May.) And I go into the...

Until a couple of weeks ago, I had no idea this store existed, although it's been in business for years. Northside Aquatics is owned and operated by hobbyists, and is one of the most laid back places and friendly places I've been in. Ironically, I was referred to them by one of the big boxes...

Has anyone put a background on either of the Evolve nano tanks? I have two Evolve 4s sitting side by side on a desk. Planted tanks with one male betta in each. They were spending all their time flaring at each other, so I placed a piece of blue plastic in between the tanks. Problem solved...

I think I have to get this off my chest. Goldfish aren't throw away fish. They aren't expendable fish for cycling a tank, where it doesn't matter if you do water changes because you're just going to "get rid" of them anyway. They aren't tropical fish. They don't have the same dietary or...

Started thinking about this as I'm planning another planted tank. I guess you'd call all five of my tanks, and the new dirted bowl, low tech. Certainly not no tech - I use artificial light on all of them, and I fertilize my plants with root tabs and liquid ferts. But that's about the extent...

I just happen to have a spare 10 gallon tank out in my storage shed. Since I probably just ordered too many plants for my existing tanks, I was thinking I'd go ahead and set it up as a dirted tank, capped with sand, and use it as a grow out tank for floating plants that get eaten by my...

I went to a new (to me, it's been there for years) local fish store, owned and operated by hobbyists yesterday. It is aquarium and pond heaven and I'll get pics when I go back to pick up my plants this time next week. While I was there, I was discussing my tanks, and asked about adding RCS to...

Actually, it's a vase I found at Target. It measures 12 inches high, 9 inches wide at the bottom, and 7 inches wide at the top. It holds about 2 1/4 gallons of water after the substrate was put in. Flora: Narrow leaf java fern Anubias nana - both of these are tied to the skinny driftwood that...

First, the stats on the tank: 29 gallon high, planted with anubias, java fern, crypt, assorted hygrophilas, and floating pennywort 2 ryukins, body length about 3 inches for one, 2 1/2 inches for the other Ammonia - 0 Nitrites -0 Nitrates - 0 pH - 6.8 Feeding repashy soilent green as staple...

Flakes, pellets, gel food...one or a combination of these usually form the basis for an every day diet. I also feed squash (yellow and zucchini), spinach, peas, banana, orange, and sometimes brine shrimp and bloodworms. Today was water change day, and that's when they get fruit. Gypsy tries...

All the tanks got new plants, and most got re-arranged in the process. The goldfish tank was one of them. I had to get creative with placement of river stones to keep Blondie and Gypsy from digging everything up and wagging it around the tank (they do that even when they don't eat them). I...

From a previous post I made in the forum administrators area asking for a sub-forum on goldfish, I know that won't happen. I also know that there are quite a few members here who keep goldfish and really enjoy them. There's a thread with photos posted here, and there are some really beautiful...

I do for each of my tanks - when I did water changes, my test readings, what plants went in, which ones came out, when I added or moved fish. Since all my tanks (29 high, 20 long, 10 and two 4 gallon nanos) are planted, I also log when and how much I fertilized, along with notes about how the...

I've determined I have one male and two females. I cannot tell the females apart. The male sings every. single. night. And latches on to a female every. single. day. Is there a mating "season?" Or should I get a couple more females and spread out the love?
