    GBR Little swimmers

    Hi all, Just wanted to share some pics of my breeding german blue rams. I'm so excited since they have been at it for 5 months now but the fry kept getting eaten by my neon tetras. If you have any advice on how to make sure the fry get enough food, I am all ears :-) Thanks!

    Betta tank for niece

    Thank you to all three of you. I will pass on your recommendations. I also think a 5 gallon will work well. Aqua clear it is. I got her a book on bettas today. First page mentions all the things that are wrong with a bowl. We will see. I'll keep you posted. I don't have a picture, buts it's a...

    Betta tank for niece

    Hello AAA members, My niece just got a betta for her birthday. Of course, they got a bowl. At least they have a moss ball and a heater for the little guy. They were told the moss ball would take all the "bad things" out of the water and eliminate the need for water changes. Face:Palm. I gave...

    Desperate need of help!

    I agree with ladyapril. Unless you can tell he is in pain (not swimming or eating), I would give him a chance to heal. Keep the water very clean so his wound does not get infected.

    How long did it take YOU to get MTS?

    I fell in love with a betta in 2007 and had him in a little .5 gallon bowl. The horror. Took me 3 days to get an eclipse system for him but the current was too strong for my betta so I *had* to get another tank. Didn't even think to return the eclipse. Lol. Two tanks by the end of the first week...

    What Did You do With Your Tank Today?

    Cmwalters - yes! I feel the same way today. I am so lucky I can keep fish.

    Ph vs Gh vs Kh

    Sorry - crazy couple of days here. I really appreciate the help though! I do not have a softener - the water coming out of the tap is untreated. I just did the drop test. GH - 4 drops - ppm = 71 KH - between 2 and 3 drops - ppm = 35-53 Does that make more sense?

    Ph vs Gh vs Kh

    Thank you, Fort384! Good questions. The 0 results are from the API test strips. I got liquid tests for Gh and kh which I will do tomorrow after work. I will post my results ASAP. My water is from my tap- comes from hetch-hetchy reservoir. I treat it with kordon novaqua plus.

    Ph vs Gh vs Kh

    Hello dear AA members! I think this is a silly question, but I thought I would through out there: Background: I have a cycled 20 gallon long tank with a pair of GBR. They are great: active, food gobbling, showing colors, already laid eggs once. The PH in my tank is high (as best I can tell it...

    Moisture in heater?

    Yikes! That would be horrible!!! It's cold tonight, so I cannot turn it off and my backup heater is from the same brand - bought at the same time >_< I will turn it off in the morning and hopefully the light will keep the water fairly warm during the day. I will return both heaters tomorrow. Do...

    Uh-oh Oto???

    I'm starting to notice differences in the markings in the fish that were sold to me as otos. Can you please tell me if you can ID these based on the attached pictures? (Sorry- bad iPhone pics are all I have). The first two look like otos to me. The last pictures are those I am concerned about...

    Moisture in heater?

    Hello avid fish keepers! I noticed some moisture in my heater today while doing my water change. Should I be concerned or is this normal? You can see condensation where the heater light is. Brand is Topfin if I recall. Was purchased and fired up in July of this year. Thanks!

    Free: Rehoming Cherry Barbs

    I have never shipped before. Any tips? They would be free of cost to rehome - as long as you guarantee they do not end up as feeder fish.
