Good luck! Sounds like you'll be fine! :)

Wow, I feel old... 8O I had tanks years ago, then got away from it. Now, I'm back to it once again, and loving it! I've had snakes for a few years, and ferretts, hamsters, dogs, cats, the usual assortment of animals that come along with raising kids. Now, I'm an empty nester. I actually had...

That's so sweet! CONGRATULATIONS!!!!

Great names! I can see I'm not the only one that likes the big fish. :)

His (or her), name is also Oscar, only because I just started calling him /her that the day I bought him. No too original on my part, eh? My other fish are just as original.... 2 convicts - Bonnie and Clyde 1 jewel - Julie 1 Jack Dempsey - JD 1 pleco - no name, yet...poor thing! 1 clown knife...

I think greenmagi misunderstood my previous posts. He is no longer in the 29 gal, he is now in a 75 gal and has plenty of room to roam, and outside of this little scare he gave me, he's back to himself and seems perfectly happy with life, once again! Ro

Good news! When I woke up this morning he was completely himself again, all tail waggie and hungry. He ate like a little pig, and didn't 'expel' any of it! His gills are back to a normal rate and he seems fine. I guess whatever it was he did manage to get rid of it. I want thank you all for...

Yes, that's him...thank you, I think he's quite handsome myself! :lol: I do have fake plants in the tank. I just looked at his gills closely and they do seem to be working harder. If there is something lodged, how would I dislodge it? He ate today, but now I'm worried cause he seemed to spit...

What a shame! On the upside, kids mend qucikly and hopefully he's gotten this out of the way and the rest of vacation will be smooth sailing!

I know...he was a tiny baby when we got him, but it wasn't long before I realized what we had done, (my coworker and I)..every day I checked levels, cleaned filters and he was never sick. I couldn't get a bigger tank, I work in a computer room and people couldn't believe I got away with any form...

Is this possible? He's 3 1/2 years old and I had him at my office in a 29 gal tank. I've mentioned in another post that my job is ending the end of this month, and he definitly outgrew his tank, so I bought a 75 gal tank and set it up for him at home about 2 months ago. Everything was...

Wow! I just read the whole post and I am soooo happy he pulled through! And my congrats to you on making it happen. Your wife seems to be coming around to the whole thing, a big plus for you! :P

Hi! My name is Ro, I'm married for 28 years with 2 grown children. I'm from NJ, and between April and October my husband and I are avid boaters. I'm a newbie to this board, so please bear with me while I find my way around in here. I'm a computer operator, and I kept a 29 gal fw tank in my...

Melonie, when I first read your post I was like, what?? I re-read it and it does seem simple enough and could work. I have it down to 79 degrees as of this morning, using *icepacks* and a fan, and leaving the cover open just a wee bit to allow any warm air to escape. But, I will keep your...

Thanks for the advice, Fawn. I went to the site, and it's a bit too pricey for the chiller, so in the meantime I will do the ice cube trick. I actually thought of dropping a few in but figured that would be useless, but I never thought of using a baggie! We do have a fan running, and I keep the...
