If your unsure, can't find a catagory, or there is more than one species in the pic...put it here.

Thanks for the input d9hp! :D I know how that goes with having many teeth.... I used to work in the dental field for years.... 8) By the way have you seen Finding Nemo? It must be adorable! :P But really, Is she gonna calm down, or will I have to keep her separated for the rest of her life...

Hey, I also make my own filters. The ones that are sold ready-to-go are a lot more expensive on the long run. When I have a situation when I have to use medication, I usually take the whole filter out. Medications for common problems work pretty fast (in 24 -48 hours). I never had problems when...

Hi, I lost touch with you guys for awhile, but I'm glad to be back! Anyway, my question is: What causes (normally calm) fish to become agressive all of a sudden? I have a female guppy who used to be calm and sweet. But recently she started attacking my other fish, so I had to separate her from...

Yeah, I know I should get rid of them. As I mentioned earlier I can't kill anything, so what I did was I made up a small 5 gallon tank with some rocks and plants for the snails :roll: There is no filter in it, so I clean it out real well in every 3 or 4 days, by "vacuuming" the floor and the...

Yes, the tapwater here is alkaline to begin with. I don't know what else to use. I don't think bottled water can be used in a tank. Can it? Looks like my guppy has a bad case of fungus. In addition to the red spots she developed those hairy white spots on her sides. I did separate her and put...

I think I solved the mystery of the continuously clouding water in my (freshwater) tank. I had no idea what was happening. I did water changes, bought "water cloudiness remover" :D , but nothing seemed to help at all. I tried to clean my filtering device (a Whisper E carbon filter), which was...

She seemed fine up until now. If I look closely, I can see tiny (I mean really really tiny) little red spots on her body, between her top fin and her tail. She is swimming normally and other then these spots and not eating she behaves normally. My water chem is okay as far as I can tell I tested...

Try this link:http://www.petfish.net/endlers.htm I hope this is something like what you are looking for. :D

I just found this following passage surfing the net. I thought I share it with you, or anybody with snail problems: "To guard against unwanted snails, use a weak potassium permanganate solution. The Manual of Fish Health recommends a concentration of 10 mg/l as a 10-minute bath as a general...

Well, here I go again...seriously I'm so glad I found this forum. I don't know what I would do without your input. Anyway, I have a female guppy in my tank that refuses to eat. She stays close to the top but doesn't gasp for air or anything, she just likes to hang around up there nice and calm...

Yeah yeah...okay. :wink: I'll take corvuscorax's advice, I won't release them into the wild. But I still can't kill them. I'll get the Clown Loaches if they (the snails) get out of hand, which will happen pretty soon, they are reproducing at a VERY fast rate. I can't see any more than two of the...

OMG spewns! I would not be able to do that!!! :microwave: I can't even kill a fly, when I see one inside I chase it until I can catch it w/ a glass or something, take it outside and release it. :lol: Some of my friends think I love living things a little TOO much. But I can't help it. I like...

Yes, I think it's a better idea to get a couple of Clown Loaches. It is still better than just killing the poor things at least if they get eaten there is a purpose, they become food. :cry: Anyway why do I need to get rid of them? If they don't change the water chem, what is it that they do...

Thanks so much! :turn-l:

This is the best I can do right now. My digi-cam is not a high-tech one as you can see. :roll: Anyway, if you can't really see the snails on these I can borrow my friend's digi, which works a lot better than mine. :wink: The bigger snail looks like an apple snail but it doesn't have that...

Hi, I bought a few plants for my 10 gallon tank, which had some snails come with them. In the beginning I only had a few crawling around, but now it seems like they are reproducing pretty efficiently, so I now have like thirty (at least). I don't want to kill them or anything (they are cute...

Hey thanks, I checked out that link you posted (Photo Gallery). Pretty nice pics. Now a stupid question - as usual - how come there are no fishies in those tanks? Do you just plant these into the gravel or do they need sand or some special soil? If you would use sand how do you clean the...

Just wondering.... Why aren't there any pictures of plated tanks here.. :?: I would LOVE to see some of them. Could you post some for me? :smilecolros: ... well for everyone here.

:shocked!: Wow! I love your "garden theme"! :P It's really original. I'm only a beginner - I have a lot to learn, but some day I wanna have a tank at least as nice as this one. :squarewink:

One more question... I was just wondering: Is tail rot contagious? I lost one of my mail guppies. He had a part of his tail missing, but it could have happened so that one of the other fish took a bit of it, so I wasn't so worried. He looked okay to me. But this morning I found him dead. But my...

Hey! I thought that nitrate in new tanks can also climb high. Guess I was wrong.. :oops: wasn't I? Anyway the strange thing is that the level of ammonia in my tank is more alkaline than acidic. I also thought that ammonia levels tend to go up because of left over food and the fish's metabolism...
