so Ive decided to get back into my aquariums about a year ago, when i got all my equipment out though, i didnt have any working filters. I had chosen to just fill one of my ten gallon tanks with sand, driftwood, a boatload of plants and then throw in a few fish. I have a bubble stone running in...

I'm gonna attempt keeping a baby channel cat. I figure its pretty straightforward (ive kept most species of native fish) but I was wondering if anyone here has had a past experience keeping them?

Ive had a few axolotls for a while now. Thinking of getting a new kind of pet. Will trade or sell my axolotls. I have (guessing gender) a male white albino, 2 male wilds, and a female wild. If you have anything worth trading (frogs, fish, filters, ect.) let me know, otherewise, each axie is $10...

Soooooo, I give my planted tanks a small dosage of rock salt every now and then because I have learned that it is very healthy for plants (There are MANY minerals in rock salt) and Ive been using it on my bonsai and various other plants to good effect. One thing I was wondering, could it raise...

I have 3 wild axies (1 male 2 females), 1 white albino male, 1 leucistic male, 1 leucistic female. They are all about 6-8 inches long and healthy. I also have a green water snake. I bred it from a couple I had last year, I gave most of them away but this guy I wanted to keep but dont have the...

I have a multitude of mulberry and peach leaves I want to sell, I usually feed them to my snails after I soak them for a few days. I used to own a shubunkin that loved peach leaves. shipping will probably be along the lines of $0.50 and they will probably arrive in an envelope. as for trading...

Ive picked up a few orange-throat darters at the same place I found the creek chubs, so far they are eating frozen bloodworm, I distributed them among my smaller tanks (2 in the 10 gallon axie tank, 6 in the 20 gallon native tank, 2 in the 5 gallon breeder and 2 in the 5 gallon betta tank) I...

So I have obtained some really nice bettas recently at my LFS and I now have a dumbo rose petal male, 2 dragon-scale halfmoon males, 2 regular halfmoon males, and a crowntail female. Does anybody have any tips they would like to share on breeding show-quality bettas? because I think these fish...

So I went crayfishing recently at my local creek and decided to do a little fishing as well, I caught a multitude of these large minnows with black stripes along their bodies. I decided to put some in my 2 gallon natives tank along with my baby bluegill and baby sunfish. Afterwards I did some...

Somehow some Java Moss got from an aquarium in the pet store to the pond in my neighbor's backyard. It's been there for the past 2 years and is growing strong. I can imagine that it spread from little leaf buds (just like most other asian moss-like plants) but I didn't know it could survive...

So I decided to grow some dwarf hairgrass, but cant afford a C02 set-up, so, I did some research and made a sealed bottle filled with yeast and sugar with an release tube that leads into my aquarium. It makes quite a bit of bubbles in the water and so far works. appearantly the yeast makes...

I started a 5 gallon planted aquarium yesterday, the substrate is the new national geographic black sand. I have two baby sword plants and i want to carpet dhg, so I bought some and planted it. Im gonna get a plant specialized light that will be about 10wpg and since i cant get a C02 set-up, im...

Mine is the Melon-leaf sword

Which is better? the african clawed frog, or the african dwarf frog??

I think the best pet snake is a rat snake (preferably black, maybe trans-pecos too)

Mine is about 7 1/2 inches long from tail to nose and 4 inches wide at the widest point.

I think my favorite is the Jaguar or the Oscar.

which is better? the mosquito fish breeds more, but, its more aggressive and needs more aquarium space and is less colorful. But, the guppy is more sensitive, more easily disease ridden, in-bred, and breeds less.

I can't choose between the slender madtom, the blue, and the black bullhead.

anybody have any care tips for the slender madtom??

Im gonna have to say the black bullhead, although, my favorite changes all the time. What about you other members?
