Thanks guys! They are definately SAEs... but they don't seem to eat a lot of green algae...I'll look into the shrimp, they could be cool ^_^

Hey! I'm in the process of setting up a more-or-less South Asian biotope, with exception the melon swords currently growing in my tank... Anyway, I'm looking for an algae eater for my tank that will stay relatively small, is from the more southerna regions of Asia (Thailand, Malaysia, etc) that...

Thanks for the advice!

Hi, I got this nice chunk of wood that I'm trying to sink into my new 33 gal... does anyone have any ideas on how to get it sunk super quick? Cheers!

Here's a quick question wrt to SAEs... The LFS around here have been selling two different versions of Flying Foxes... There is the standard Flying Fox... and then one LFS called teh other one "True Flying Foxes" while the other one called them "Siamese Flying Foxes"... I have heard the term...

Menagerie: Thanks, I was unaware of this. I only suspicioned hemight have fin rot, I used it to treat the bacterial infection on his wound... what is a good anti-bac for bettas? An t-iasg: The Betta has already been quarantined to a bucket for the past week now. Changing the water everyday...

Hi; My Betta seems to have an uncommon infection judging by the posts on bettas and symptoms. As far as water conditions, I can't give those as I don't have a test kit. I have QT'd into a bucket right now, and I give him 50% - 75% water change everyday. The tank itself is healthy, I did lose...

What about adding it a little bit at a time? and then allowing bacteria to settle on that before removing the old stuff?

I don't think heaters use up all that much electricity ... maybe you could offer to pay your dad for some of your electricity use?

I use Malaysian Trumpet Snails largely for aerating my substrate, and cleaning the scraps of food that make it too the bottom... They work for that quite well... and I am pretty sure I have seen them eating algae, but they may only do this when there is no other food for them? I'm not sure

Bettas should be fine :) Even if he chooses to be aggressive towards the Rasboras.. they will dart nimbly out of his way... and he will miss :P I love it when my Betta gets agressive spurts and charges through my Clouds, it is too funny!

Everytime I see the poor bettas in Pets Unlimited, in their little plastic cups, I want to buy every last one of them and take them home, they look so sad and scraggly :(

Gorgeaous Ram! They personally are my favourite cichlid... excellent pictures

Me Too I really like these guys, they really enjoy what they do, and they are quite knowledgeable, very friendly.

definately looking into those screw-ins... my tank temp stays at a pretty steady 78 degrees... the only time it goes up is when it hits 84-86 outside temp.. I'm on the 4th floor of an apartment building with a SouthEast facing window.. this room gets HOTT... but even then, temp doesn't go above...
