Thanks FishCrazy, I don't think live plants are for me. Right now things are going well and i'd be too scared to test my luck. Plus I'm cheap and don't want to spend money on lighting :-p

I think both arguments have their pros and cons, I started a fishless cycles dosing ammonia trying to keep it near 4-5 ppm. I have a 55g non planted. I am not a biologist so I can't tell you how much ammonia your fish will leave, let alone uneaten food or any other thing that could be a...

I have my tank fully stocked and stable at this point, I cant seem to snap any good pics where fish are not blury. I have 35 Neons in there with 5 Habrosus Corys. I lost a couple of my first few fish. I'm not sure why excpet for the fact that they were fully grown and maybe the transition was a...

I just thought of an Idea that might be good. Not sure so I'll ask. I have those small pond snails in the tank and they are multiplying. I was thinking of maybe taking 3 or 4 small ones and crushing the shell. Would my Tetras like them and eat them? Are they healthy?

In the article I used for information it also said to Keep the tank dark since light can cause algae bloom but more importantly the bacteria are more efficient in the dark.

if I got anything frozen, I'd take a small piece or cube melt it in tank water and strain it. Then feed a bit and toss out any extra. I don't want all that cube juice giving me more algae than I need anyway. :) Bloodworms it is I guess. I'm afraid the brine might be too big for them anyway...

All banning them will do is create more appeal and a black market IMO. I am against regulating most things but a small regulation (permit) to help save the environment wouldn't be a big deal to most Aquarists and enthusiasts... Right? Don't get me wrong, last thing I want is an invasive...

My Neons are doing well. I have decided to keep the group at 35 in my 55g. They are all doing well. They seem to have bright colors and quite healthy, I have been feeding them TetraMin Tropical Crisps and about 1/8 of a Hikari Sinking Wafers so My Corydoras Habrosus can have some food too...

German Blue Rams I believe. I might be wrong, but I thought I'd give you a quick response. I'm sure the experts will correct me if I am wrong. Tropical Freshwater Aquarium Fish: Ram, German Blue

I believe the Atlantic City Aquarium has native species exhibits. How far are you from AC? "Fish of the Mid-Atlantic Ocean 25,000 gallon exhibit features a variety of sea creatures native to the waters off of NJ, and the rest of the Mid-Atlantic region. Ranging in size from the big to the...

Agreed, but I don't want to be taken advantage of either if most people give them away (according to the other poster). Since CatatonicBug showed some interest I am willing to pay the initial offer. :D

Do you still have any? I can't find any locally and 9$ isn't going to make me or break me. Maybe you'll be nice and charge me 7$ for 15 including shipping since nobody else is biting:eyes:

That Manzanita stuff looks nice and it's not too expensive. Does it sink or do you have to weigh it down? Are there a lot of Tannins in it?

Just backhand him across the cheek, then run really fast while squeeling " MOMMY!".

there's also "liquifry" food

It's all relative. Let's use Blackjack as an example. If you make 500,000 a year you could gamble with a $50,000 bankroll and it would be the same as someone who earns $50,000 Gambling with $5,000. In another aspect everyone has something they spend a lot of money on. Athletes with their...

I didn't see Rasboras mentioned. I have seen Rasboras at the stores, They all seem to hover and and move as one. Very Very cool schoolers. I would have went with them if I didn't choose the Neons (b/c I wanted South American fish only ) Tropical Fish for Freshwater Aquariums: Harlequin Rasbora

I'd just keep an eye on ammo just in case you lost a lot of your probiotics. I agree that you might want to contact RENA, but if you can bite the bullet get the EHEIM asap.

WOW, Nicely done!

I lost him last night. I'm glad though because I'd rather lose him overnight than watch him suffer for days or more. Thanks for all of your advice. I will apply it to any fish that may appear with the same symptoms. I do hope that it doesn't come to that.

PH 7.4 ammo= 0 nitrites= 0 nitrates = < or = 5 ppm temperature = 78 degrees I just did the test 5 minutes ago before I did my weekly water change. The fish is the only one in the school acting unhealthy. He is swimming erracticly, seperating himself from the school, his belly looks so...

I don't know if this is the most active hydroponic forum but it coulld be a good start. Hydroponics - GardenWeb The thing with hydro is with all the air, water, nutrients and light mixed together it could be a breeding ground for fungus and algae. I actually grew a few pepper plants in a...

:cool:I'm working on it now, I Just did a water change last night and i think i'm going to bring in 5 more cory habrosus and 12 neon jumbos.. I'm working on photos for you guys, but i don't know how to use the camera that well, and it all just ends up a blur:eek: !
