yup, they dont like dead ones and dont ever feed em feeder goldfish they arent right for the turtles disgestive system. You can even set up a 20L or 20H heck even a 55g plastic trash can with a small heater and air stone/sponge filters and get the fatheads at the bait shop, feed em for a month...

my fish ONLY get ken's flakes and hikari bloodworms. thats it. But I have mine living in 6.0ph at 82 degrees and they get clean water twice a week@35g a PWC.

Yes, is she eating? got a pic of the tank, might not be to her liking and those of us who have had them for years can give some insight. She should have some color and not just greyish silver. What else is in the tank with her? Males wash out too, the males fins are larger then the females...

My dad owns the 210g, Im just the labor and brains(when it comes to scaping and plant knowledge as well as the compatibility of fish) but when worse comes to worse its mine. By then I will have a bigger more trustworthy structured house. I appreciate the compliments, I will use his 14x(compared...

post a pic and well tell ya....... Males are much more colorful then the females, My females have a yellow/orange belly and less color in the fins and my males have red/orange stomachs with tons of color throughout.

they are but when it breaks down, all thats gone and with heavy root feeders it depletes faster. I got the gravel from a guy no longer in the business aspect of the hobby but I think the plant manager might have it but I know he doesnt drive out to AZ.(maybe for ACA if they held it) I got...

Where in the midwest, and that plant water isnt what you need to start a tank, you need some good filter sponge goo. Relax a bit, you should spend $30 and go grab a API master freshwater water test kit, its a very cheap investment to understand where you tank is and it lasts a long time. you...

Your best bet is to get water lettuce,duckweed,giant duckweed, all that floating pond stuff, most people will give it away due to its rapid growth rate. I fed mine minnows once a week, I put 18 of them in there to last a week(had filter and mud bottom) but the rest of the time I would offer it...

Yup its been a while since I have graced you finatics with my presence, alot has changed in the past 13 months thats for sure. 210 got a complete change out and moved it a few feet over, I set up the 75g about a week after we got all our crap moved into the new house, My father was kind enough...

It breaks down rather quickly and gets pretty silty. I used EC in the past but found any true gravel that is 3mm-5mm in grain size will do just fine infact due to the smaller grain size of the gravel the roots grow and you can quote me, 10x better then any planting substrate ive...

Yes, Please every member on this board post the change.org link to those forums and your facebook pages.

Which beach? We used to collect those at IB and coronado. There used to be a LFS on palm, near marco's pizza that took them from us for store credit back in the late 80's and very very early 90's. I forget what they are called as alot of time has passed since then but I think the SDnature...

If you have decent access under that bathtub you can turn it into a 100g indoor pond in a few hours.

I change it when the outflow side's TDS reach 010, they run at 001-003 normally. My tap isnt quite liquid rock but 8.8 is close enough.

I use CPR aquatics constant siphon O/F boxes, they are awesome and after a year of use its still working just fine. your sump, what is the holding capacity of it? I think you will be perfect with a cs102(I got em both, upgraded to the 102 when I set up my 75g, now works friggin awesome)...
