Thanks for the replies. I do not have sand, I have little round pebbles. I literally searched that whole aquarium now and have not found him. Odd, I will keep my eye out to see if he pokes out somewhere, a fish literally can't disappear?

Hey there, I have not seen my Pleco for a full day now. I moved around and looked in all my decorations and plants, no sign of him. My aquarium is completely covered, so I doubt he jumped out, plus I looked all over the floor. All I have in this aquarium is 3 Raspboras, 2 White Clouds, 2...

Don't see anything related to what this looks like. It looks like a clearish/white sac coming out between the head and the shell area.

Hello all, hope someone can help me identify what is coming/growing out of my snail. Here is the pic, its not very good had to take it with my phone; http://www.geocities.com/incorpporated/snailpic.JPG Looks like a white sac of something coming out from above his/her head, he/she has been...

Ugh, thought maybe it left her! Yup it says feed 1-2 times a day, 3 days straight for four weeks. So every Sunday to Tuesday for the next four weeks I am going to feed them this food.

Today after work, I went to the LFS and bought a food that eliminates parasites. It contains Lavamisole, and treats against nematodes. I also bought a Gel incase they dont eat this food. Upon getting home, I noticed the red/pinkish thing gone from her anal area, no other visible signs of...

Thank you very much, I will go buy that food tomorrow from the LFS. Hopefully she will eat it.

Hello all, Today I noticed a something that is a red/pinkish colour protruding from my Glass Tetra's anal cavity. I am curious what this could be, and how to fix it. Thanks for any information or help, BP

Tank has been setup for 8 months now, and have had the Mollies in there since the beginning, had the babies about 2 weeks in, all 3 lives and are now half the size of the adults. Added the Fruit Loops about a month and a half after setup, and they are doing great.

Hello, I got 3 juvenile and 2 adult Mollies, and 2 Fruit Loop Tetras (yes, I fell victim to not knowing about the dying process). I want to add a cleaner type of fish, what would be recommended? Is there any small Pleco's that stay small? Any other kind of fish recommended? Just want...

Thanks for the suggestions, I think I might try the Ghost Shrimp first, see how that goes. Speaking of which, would Mollies eat/kill a Ghost Shrimp?

Yeah I have a Stealth 25 submersible heater, automatically turns off to avoid overheating. Would an Otto in each side be too much fish for a 5 gallon? About the snails, is there a clear way to determine male/female? Just worried about them because if they are mixed, and I got a female, she...

Hello, I have a 5 gallon divided Betta tank setup. I have a sponge filter running. I cut the divider perfectly to fit the sponge filter with no holes/spaces so that it could filter both sides. I do not overfeed them, and they like their food. But sometimes they will spit their food out and...

Thanks for the information. I just sent Dr Foster and Smith an email asking about shipping prices and how to order from their website from Canada. Buying a 25 Watt Stealth Heater, and 2 Sponge Filters. How often do the sponge filters need to be replaced with new sponges? Also how do you keep...

I wan't to setup a 3 Gallon tank to hold a Betta for my fiancee. Measurements are 14 length x 8 height x 8 width, I think it is a 3.5 Gallon. I couldnt find a top/light for this little tank, do I really need one? I got a mesh cover for it. In fact can I even get a light cover for it? Or would a...
