So, at the beginning of spring, my husband built us 2 outdoor ponds. We decided that we would rather stock them with cichlids than koi or goldfish. So we moved our 7 jewel cichlids (all 1-2" at the time, now 3-4") to the smaller one (150g) and our four severums (the males were 2", now are 4"...

Hey everyone, I just posted some eggs up on AquaBid. I am trying to raise money for a special event that is starting on January 1st. I will fill you guys in as to what once I make sure I can ;) If any of you are interested in getting into killies, this is a great way to start. Check out my...

...when you bring one of your favorite fish back to life. I got up this morning to go to work, took a shower, got ready to go, and on my way out the door, I see something shiny on the floor. I look at it, and it is my male blue gularis, just laying there, lifeless. I immediatly remember a...

So, I look over at my tank, just before their nightly feeding of the good stuff (they get frozen food at night), and notice some thread like things hanging out of my firemouth's mouth. I get up to go take a closer look at whatever it was that he decided was yummy. I get right up to the tank, and...

I have a surplus now, and they won't stop breeding ;) I have them listed up on aquabid.com right now, 24 eggs for $15 shipped. Here is the links... http://www.aquabid.com/cgi-bin/auction/auction.cgi?disp&viewseller&Hsherman1986 I have more gulari and walkeri eggs too, if anyone is interested...

So, I ordered a pair of Australe Orange Killifish off aquabid last week. Got them in on wed. I decided to go through their mops the next day (I was checking the rest of them anyway, won't hurt to check theirs too), and I actually found 3 eggs!! They had only been in that tank for 23 hours (they...

So, about 2 weeks ago, we started a brine shrimp hatchery for our new fry. The eggs hatched, and the bbs has been great for the fry...well, hubby goes to feed the tanks tonight, and wants me to come look at the brine shrimp that he put in the tank. I'm thinking, alright, i have seen this...

Well, they did it again...my GBRs have spawned again. Hopefully they did it right this time. They chose the EXACT same spot as last time, but something went wrong, and they ate the eggs. I came home from work to them spawning. How long till they should hatch? I have BBS and microworms ready...

So, I recently got into breeding killies (lots of fun, highly recommended :D ). Their favorite food so far is frozen beefheart. Now, the question is, could I get the beefheart from the meat counter at my grocery store, mince it, freeze it, and feed it to the fish? Since they like it so much...

They have exploded again...anyone need some? i can probably spare around 200+. Pm me, or post. I am going out of town in the morning, so don't think I am ignoring you if I don't respond until monday morning. If you want some though, I will ship them out monday afternoon.

Is my red tailed shark an algea eater? I have noticed that he is always on the glass and driftwood, quite like a SAE would. Is he actually eating algea? He is defintly getting enough to eat otherwise, I feed the tank 2x a day, and he is always front and center as soon as the tank lid opens. Any...

Just wanted to start this, just had my first successful (so far) spawn, and want to keep track of growth. Enjoy the pics, sorry some of them aren't the best of quality... Here are some pics from 3/5, the morning after they started hatching (they started hatching sunday night) Sticking to...

Can someone link me the feeding veggies article? I want to blanch some zuchinni, but forget :roll: If someone can help (either tell me what to do, or link me the article), I would appreciate it. My computer is acting up right now (nothing new :roll: )

I currently have 4 red cherry shrimp and 1 tiger shrimp holding eggs. In the 3 smaller red cherry shrimp, the eggs are yellow. In the larger cherry shrimp and the tiger shrimp, the eggs are green. What does this mean? Also, will the tiger shrimp and red cherry shrimp interbreed? TIA! -Hillary

So, I saw the thread a while back about these dwarf crayfish. I looked into them, and decided that i wanted sme too. So I ordered through aquabid (the guy from louisiana). GOt them in today. I love them. They are soooo cute!!! Now, not only did I get 6 crayfish for $40 through this guy...

Look what I caught my pair doing :D SO now what? Help me out guys. The tank is a 20g tall with 6 yoyo loaches, some rhino shrimp, and 9 micro rasboras. They laid the eggs on a peice of driftwood, so what should I do? Should I remove the other fish, or the driftwood and the parents, or just...

My last remaining clown loach is still alive!!! I thought he had died, but he just went into hiding!! I saw his tail last night, so went to go pull him out (thought he was dead), and he ran away from me!!! I am soooooo happy!! He came out again today (ok, well, I more chased him out so I could...

So, I just added a 30g tank to my collection (up to ten tanks now). Its already cycled (god bless filter media), and holding my male firemouth until I can reintroduce him into his 55g home. I think I have decided what I want to do with it once the firemouth goes home. I am thinking dwarf...

Everyone needs one!! Please guys, if you have fish, you should have and use a QT tank. a 10g is fine, and can be set up for under $100. Don't get antzy about adding your new fish to your tank, please QT them first to make sure they don't have any diseases that could KILL the fish you have...

Ok, so I have a pack of what was 9 clown loaches in a 55g tank (I know, too small, but they are still small, and I plan on upgrading). Came home last night and found one dead, and one not looking well (swimming at the surface with what looked like a white fungus all over his body). Found that...

Ok, so I am wanting to add powerhead to my 55 gallon tank, I figure the loaches would appreciate the extra circulation. Now, the problem come in with my current tank divder (see pic below). Could I use 2, one on each side, or would that be too much? What GPH would you guys recommend if i were...

So, I am getting another 55 today, and decided that I am going to go african. My husband really wants these red/orange peacocks, and christmas fulus. How many of each would be good in this tank, and are these two fish compatible? Also, this may sound dumb, but can I keep yellow labs and/or white...

Hey guys. I just got my hands on one of these guys, totally unexpected. Gotta love my neighbor, she bought one, and had it chanse everyone in her tank relentlessly, so she called me up and asked me if i would take him. I figured he would go in my 55g cichlid tank. I think he will behave with my...

So, I just got back from a deal with a guy in town, I was trading him my school of tiger barbs (couldn't house them anymore) for what I thought was 10 red ramshorn snails. I ended up with 29 red ramshorns, 5 brown ramshorns, and a baby BN pleco (it is less than 1" long). YES!! :D It was a good...

Ok guys, I really want to do a tank like this. How does this sound for stocking? Its a planted 20g tall 1 blue wood shrimp (4", moving into the tank tomorrow) 5 bumblebee shrimp 5 green shrimp 5 RCS or Crystal Red shrimp 4 Rednose shrimp (already in the tank) 1 breeding colony of Red Ramshorns...
