I feed my army of fish Hikari frozen bloodworms and Hikari frozen daphnia every other day, in between i alternate with flake food, shrimp pellets, Nutrafin pellets and algae wafers

My cories eat anything i throw in there... flakes, live worms, frozen food, pellets, etc. you name it, they eat it :P

Dont worry about the bio-wheel not spinning constantly, as long as it rotates and is kept moist, bacteria will grow on it 8)

Not at all, never had any problems bringing fish / accesories in to Mexico. I could buy from the LFS here in Tijuana, but the selection is not that great and the prices sometimes are about $1 US more

Your spanish is not that bad, altho i would never eat a Hamburger in the bathroom :lol:

ooops sorry Ma'm, but its not that often you find a fellow Countryman on the english speaking fish forums :oops: But to get you up to speed, he was asking if i kept FW or SW fishes, and where do i bought them :wink:

Pues no hay mucha variedad y estan muy caros 8O Los mios los compro en el area de San Diego, California, en los USA

Tijuana, Baja California :twisted:

I think is the way the LFS keep their tanks. Most likely they just use the local tap water and some dechlorinators and thats it. Our water is very hard PH 7.4+, which for keeping neons is surprising since all the bibliography say they are a soft water species 8O go figure.

Big Bucket, long hose, dechlorinator, water vaccum. Change 20-25% of the water weekly while vaccuming the gravel and replacing with fresh water using a dechlorinator. Neuve, de que parte de Mexico eres?

of 11 Neons i have bought in the last 6-7 weeks only one has died, they are kept on a fairly well planted tank with some mollies, ottos, cherry barbs, guppies, platies, coryes and one SAE (my other one died 2 days after i bought them and they are hard to find on the LFS here). They are fairly...

Fluorite should be rinse IMO until the water is semi clear, because if you keep washing it you will remove the iron from it, then put in the tank, cover it with a layer of regular gravel and gently pour the water into the tank. If you add it after the tank has been filled, you should keep the...

You cant go wrong with the All Glass Aquarium 110W kit and their 9725 (?) kelvin bulbs, they will give you about 2.25W per gallon, more then enough for ferns, anubias, swords, crypts 8)

The Crawfish where way over in the back, on the same aisle as the mudskippers. didnt know about the Wednesday sales, just might have a look some of these days, and yes i've been to the Petsmart around the corner, mostly buy frozen food from them

You must be talking about Pet Kingdom over on Sports Arena Blvd!! was there yesterday and bought some Otos, saw the mudskippers, i think they would make an interesting addition, but what do they eat?... If you meant PK, did you see the crawfish on sale also? :lol:

ebo!! ebo!! ebo!! ebo!! .. also have a visitherm for my 10G tank and that works good also :P

They are in the 40G :lol: And so far the other fish dont seem interested in making a snack of them :cry: Someone just suggested some cherry barbs.. are they good? how many do i have to buy since they are schooling fish? are they fin nippers?

Aside from separating the pregnant females, and not having them cavort with the males, what’s the best ‘natural’ way to control the fry population in an established tank? Someone recommended a while ago buying a couple of Angels to err.. manage the population. My setup is as follows, have a 40G...

about two inches from where it hangs in the back, the biggest culprit is the intake tube, I also have a glass top and it fits snuggly 8)

mmmm driftwood .....

Cambodian bettas also have short rounded tails

Which is better for a 36L x 18W x 16H aquarium… one 36” 96W CF or 2 22” 55W CF ? I’m not trying to grow a jungle, but a fairly well planted aquascape with some neons, guppies, platys, mollies, corys and ottos, also my substrate consists of 3/5 fluorite and 2/5 gravel Thanks for your advise :P

Sure, but you are close (relatively speaking) to Florida and Maryland, i would think that going all the way to the other coast there might be some damage but <shrugs> :(

I would take them all in a flash! but im wayyyyyyyyyy over there --------> (points to SoCal)

50% Fluorite / 50% gravel on my 40G and 100% gravel on my 10G
