    I just got this handy little device sent from the UK. It was a tad pricey for what it is, but I am very pleased with it. You get two, a heavy metal spiral that you twist your desired fruit or vegetable onto and it weighs it down for your good to feast on. I've tried "pinning" slices to the...

    Happy New Year from an Aquarium Newbie

    Start small with a few hardy fish. She might like tetras, there are many varieties, maybe a school of 5 to 7. Danios are also quite hardy, a small school. Alternatively that's a generous size for a Betta, they're very pretty.

    Maybe a pretty Betta and a Mystery Snail for that small office tank.

    Storing Water

    I leave my water sit but I still use Prime. Doesn't hurt.

    Betta fin deterioration

    That's a shame, he was really pretty. I don't think it was from moving him, I mean, when you first got him he was moved just fine from store tank to bag, from bag to your tank. More if you quarantined him at the time. I'd keep him alone and give him a chance to heal. Feed a high quality diet...

    Storing Water

    I have a 55 gallon tank and change out 5 gallons every 4 to 5 days. After I'm done I refill the five gallon bucket for the next time. So I guess I store the water. I also use a small electric pump to get the water easily from the bucket into the tank without lifting or having to ladle it out. I...

    Took almost a year but I think I figured out the camera (PICTS)

    Nice job. It's fun photographing the tanks and their denizens, isn't it?!

    What to do when power goes out?

    Ok, well that wasn't very helpful. :-) I'm likely fine for today, but it got me thinking about winters. We DO get quite cold here. Can someone who deals with that let me know what they do? Thanks.

    What to do when power goes out?

    Woke up to the power in my house being out. First time in the year since I started my tanks. It's 37 outside, still in the 60s inside. Once I realized what was up I tossed light blankets over each tank (I have a 20 gal and a 50 gal). Power is supposed to be restored in about 3 to 6 hours, I...

    Overstocking a fish tank?

    Yeah, I moved up to a 55 gallon, then started the 20 back up

    Overstocking a fish tank?

    With that kind of over filtration I think you'll be okay

    Overstocking a fish tank?

    That sounds fine. What are you using for filtration?

    Yoyo loach

    I just picked up two Yoyos myself. I was aiming to get two more Dojos (I had 4 and two died, not sure why, everyone else fine, water tested fine). My guy said you can mix and match, I'm hoping he's right. Also in a 20 gal. I'm okay with getting a bigger tank at some point or moving them to my 55...

    Is it okay to do two 50% water changes per day in an emergency while fish in cycling?

    Add a bottle of Dr Tim's, wait 8 to 12 hours and do PWC.

    Blue Eyed Lemon Bristlenose Pleco

    Thanks! I give my fish a pretty high quality diet. In addition the the basic flakes and alga wafers I'll feed them bloodworms, blanched spinach, raw cukes .... I think it helps with their color, certainly keeps things interesting for them. Oddly, the denizens of my 20 gallon tank will not eat...
