How does everyone add calcium for crustacens

I just tried adding an angelfish to a tank that had another angelfish. The old fish tried t kill the new one and i had to move it to another tank. now I have a tank that is a bit overstocked

I had no idea there were regional forums........

i feel that with a good water change or two right before you leave you should get buy unless you are really overstocked, There are 10 day feeding blocks available. not sure about 2 1/2 weeks.

I know lots of fish need some veggies in the diet. I have some dryed veggie rounds that i use occasionally but would like to know.... what kind of real veggies do you feed and how do you deliver them and recover uneaten portions.

I recently wanted to clean and redecorate. I put fish in 5 gal bucket. remove all decor and stirred gravel as i drained tank. I then added about 4 in water stirred some more and drained again. this gor rid of most of the goop. i then redecorated refilled all but 5 gal with water added prime ...

regarding big box pet stores, there are 2 by same company in my area. One has good people running it that are somewhat informed and keep things clean and up to snuff, the other one is awfull. They are not all the same.

I have a 27 gal tank with one angelfish and a couple of cory cats. I am looking for some tankmates to add a little color but don't want anything that will nip fins on anglefish. curious what you other angelfish owners keep with them

I have fluval c4 and the prefilter i purchased was an extremely tight fit on the intake pipe. Had to take the whole pipe out to get it off to clean the prefilter. finally just slit it up the side and it works fairly well as there is only a small slit not covered by prefilter. would really like...

do daily water changes of 30% and treat with prime each time

I have a similar problem and found that reducing the hours of light helped minimize the problem. I cleaned some of mine by rubbing between my fingers but there has to be a better way, I just don't know it,

I haave a C4 in a 26 gal bowfront and have been quite happy with it. Also have a 20 gal with a C3 that is doing well

I usually do about 30% change and never seen more than 2 degrees F. change in water temp. I use a water changer and so temp coming out of the tap is only a guess. That is why i try to keep changes to about 30%. if you changed 50% with 9 degree difference, by the time you factor in gravel...

I have tried but so far they have evaded all attempts. they live under a rock and I can't get behind the aquaruim. Have tried just holding the camera blind but no luck.

since they are .5 in they have a good chance. Largest fish there are dwarf goramies.
