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!

This site has some interesting info. http://forum.spore.com/jforum/posts/list/46267.page Hope this helps!

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...

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...

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.

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...

Nothing I can afford on a high school teacher salary, that's for sure! Hey - there is always the lottery!

That was awesome! Thanks!

Thank you again!

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

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?

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.

Laying eggs, round 2! I am so excited!

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...
