My Pleco LOVES cucumbers! My Oto Cats like cucumbers too, but my betta fish eats mashed peas and corn sometimes.

Isn't it interesting how such a small creature can have such a huge personality? I loved both my bettas, but the newest one is definitely nicer. He loves to swim with the tetras, and play chase with the guppy. Not mean at all. My last one was fierce!

Hmm.. How did this obsession of mine start? When I was younger, I was give 4 african dwarf frogs as pets. They were in a small tank and I had them for 4 or 5 years. When I was a senior in high school I got a job at a family owned pet store, that had it’s own fish room. This pet store wasn’t like...

It all depends on the betta really. It's surprising how different their personalities can be. My old betta couldn't live with any other fish, and actually tore the tail off of a poor guppy that I tried to put with him. My new betta lives perfectly fine with: 2 cloud tetras 1 guppy 1 oto cat 1...

I just upgraded from a 10 gallon to a 33 gallon for my Axolotls. I used a siphon to get most of the water into a bucket, then moved the tank down to the floor (very carefully) with the sand and Axxies still in it. I set up the 33 on the dresser where the old tank was, and acclimated the little...

UPDATE: 09/22/14 I've started feeding freeze dried krill instead of the bloodworms. But I still want to know what caused them.

Hello all! I've been having a problem recently and I was wondering if any of you knew how to help me out. In one of my tanks I have 2 young Axolotls. They get a 20% water change every other week, and have been thriving happily in their home for a number of months now. For as long as I've had...

I agree, always keep the Axxie's in cold water. I've found that some freshwater fish (Such as pleco's) live perfectly fine in cooler temperatures. Whereas other fish prefer high 70s for their water. Yea my babies are pretty messy when eating, but they clean up after themselves so it's alright.

I bought a beautiful new betta for my 6 gallon tank. I replaced the carbon filters in both my 6 gal and my axxie tank. I played with my axolotls!

I have two (no pics atm sorry!) a GFP and a regular. They are still young so I've got them in a 15 gallon tank and they are just fine! They swim around together and get along nicely. Once they get a bit bigger I'm planning on moving them to a 30-40 long.

You can feed frozen blood worms, that's what I feed mine.

I have my two young Axxies in a 15 gallon tank at the moment, but I'm placing an order for either a 30 long or 40 long for the end of September. Right now the two are happy living together and are good friends, but a 6.6 is small for even 1!

Hello! I work in the aquatics department of a pet store that I've been employed at for a bit over a year now. I also have two young Axxie's that I got in late June. Right now they are perfectly fine in their 15 gallon tank, but I'm planning on moving them to a 30 or 40 long so they can grow and...

I did. Unfortunately (Or fortunately, since he was in pain) he passed away this morning. After 3 weeks of struggling to get him better, I'm glad that he's moved on. I don't know if you've read this thread, but my symptoms were exactly the same...

Hello, my name is Tatiana and I've been working in a family run pet store for a little over a year now. It's not like petco or petsmart, and everything is well taken care of, including the fish. This is why, a few weeks after I was hired, I knew that my store was the perfect place to get a betta...
