Well I work at a petstore, and "Marky Mark" as we like to call him (Walhberg, get it?) has been there longer than I have. Feel bad for the little guy. He has a lot of personality and is the perfect size for what I'm looking for. The thing is, I just don't trust him. I normally clean his cage...

Don't mean to hijack the thread, but I had a couple reptile questions myself, and this seems to be the place to get them answered. I bought a 20 high reptile tank the other day (has built in vents and other gadgets) on clearance for 5 dollars from 79 (!). Now that I have it, I'm having a hard...

I gotta second that it's a columbian spotted, or at least it appears that way to me.

If you can't find anyone to take the fish, let me know, I could give them a good home. I'm in Ellicott City.

Thanks for the response. If it doesn't reproduce, is it going to still eat my plants?

In my planted tank I saw something moving along the sand out of the corner of my eye. Once I looked close I realized it was a tiny little snail, must of hitchhiked with the sword I bought. So I'm about to get him out of there asap, but then I feel bad for the little guy. I didn't want to...

I'm pretty sure red claw crabs don't require brackish water. Def good a hood though, you'd be amazed at their escape abilities.

all sorts of pencil fish

There was an piece on the 226 year old koi in one of the fish keeping magazines awhile ago, maybe last year. It was in a pond that had fresh mountain water running through it 24/7 and was handed down from generation to generation. To make sure it was right, they had it tested in a lab after it...

Anyone know if Angelfish could live peacefully with Marble Hatchets? I would worry about the angels looking up and then deciding to attack. Anyone ever have the two together?

If you think about how many fish are collected from their "homes" in the wild, shipped across the world, and then bought only to know there is a good chance they are going to die, it seems pretty cruel to me.

Anybody who has never been needs to make the trip to see their giant south american biotope...

haha, seriously, how do you manage that?

I get shocked about once a week, but then again my hands are in the water/fixing broken filters way more than most people here (I work at Petco). The other day I got shocked really bad for the first time though. Afterwards I couldn't stop shaking my hand and I felt really sick. Got sent home...
