Can the Large CLaw crab (not sure exact name) be kept in an aquarium where it cannot reach the surface? or must they be able to get out of the water. Also, are there any crabs entirely aquatic?

Years ago when I was a kid I had a 10 gallon . Mainly had tiger barbs in it. Well always bought from petsmart never knew any better. One day i noticed the same symptoms you are describing. day later the fish was dead. So I put him in a plastic bag and was gonna take him back the petsmart (14...

ill give iit an hour and test again.... though i think the ammonia will be back where it should be. sucks i stalled the cycle from the get go

just did a 50%change should do the trickk

so since mine is over 8ppm i should just change what 50% or so?

Currently cycling my tank fishless way. Filled the tank on sunday and added the pure ammonia. Now I know its still too early for me to see anything yet, My question is though can there be too much ammonia that Trites wont appear?

A larger tank will help the most. Or at least lose the divider and maybe leave him in the one he is in for now alone? But start looking locally for a new tank. They are everywhere

In the past when i have had frogs in, I have never had any issues with a HOB filter. The frogs stay away and never seemed to have a problem swiming to the surface for air.

Possible. However I bought about 6 plants from the lfs. Maybe I will get lucky and some good bacteria hitched a ride home on them :D

WOW! Someone using my name :)

I am currently just starting a fishless cycle on a new 55g I got. Started the cycle on sunday. Today I went to a LFS and asked for any sort of filter media to help seed it.

Bacteria are in the water just not "active" per se. I would get the media from a tank if you can may save your fish you have in there now.

Craigslist.com is my next favorite site after google. Amazing the things the interent has opened doors too.

Any freshwater crabs that do not need to get out of the water? all the Big claw ones i like and see at petsmart seem to need to get on land as well.

ready for 2010 :D?
