I have several pairs of these guys that need to find a home. They are all growing out to be Triple Reds, though there may be an Orange Flash or 2 in the mix (mixed parentage). I know I have at least 3 pairs, maybe more as the others become more identifiable. All are somewhere between 3/4" and...

So I started dosing EI method at the top of the week in order to hopefully help kick my plants in the pants and get them to out compete and get rid of the massive ammount of BBA and GSA in my tank. Is this going to work? Can I get the plants to eventually starve out the algae, or am I fighting...

So looking for a source for dry fertilizers on the net... who has everyone had a good experience with? thanks!

So what about an RSS feed on the site? But instead of the user getting every single post coming through the feed, the user could sign up by forum, category, or by keyword? Just a thought!

I will be doing a heavy pruning of my watersprite soon, and was wondering if anyone wanted some of it? I think I will have about 3 very healthy, well rooted stems appx 6-10" tall come out of it. I would be happy to send for cost of shipping, or trade for some other interesting low/mid stems...

So, while dealing with some algae issues, I left the lights off of my tank all day yesterday. The room that the tank is in does get some daylight, but at this time of year it is all indirect. Over the course of the day, all 4 or my crypts decided to push all of their leaves almost straight...

Got an issue with what looks like either Staghorn or Cladophora algae. First, how can I tell the difference between the 2 algaes, and second, how can I get rid of it? I would rather not have to butcher my plants to get it out... oh the joys... ;P

Here we go again... I have an angel... slightly larger than quarter size. Starting yesterday, he has become more and more lethargic. Today he is wedging himself in my floating pennywort or leaning against the glass at the top of the water in order to keep himself upright. If in open water...

So I have lost my second batch of yeast to a leak in my bottlecap/hose assembly... getting really frustrating since it doesnt seem that the silicone gets a strong enough adhesion to withstand the twists and turns of getting a cap on a bottle. Has anyone tried any other methods of getting the...

So I have a watersprite that is shooting roots off midstem in a number of locations. I would like to snip these stems and plant them as seperate plants. Is there anything I need to know other than "cut just below the roots and stick in the substrate?"

I've got an algae outbreak that I have had for a couple of weeks now and I am getting sick of seeing it. I was hoping it would burn out, or be consumed, but its not going anywhere. Can anyone ID the algae in question, and help me out with some hints on knocking it out? THANKS!!!

Hi all, Does anyone have any good resources (hopefully over internet, but print is okay too) on the feeding behaviours/preferences of angel fish? I am trying to figure out how to get my new angels a little more excited about feeding, and willing to get into the fray w/ the school of rasboras...

So I finally was able to pass off the danios that I had to a friend, so had a nearly empty tank (save a few shrimp and BN Pleco). Thus the restock has begun. Last week I picked up six beautiful Harlequin Rasboras and 2 baby angels. Think I am going to stop there except for *maybe* a platty or...

So I had to do a supply run for a job I am working on in Alexandria, VA and ran across a LFS that I had not encountered before. I am not sure if it is new, or just moved from a different storefront in the same shopping center (they had signs on another vacant storefront). Place was called...

So I have 15 watts over my 20 Gal tank. I have been told that I am okay to have floating plants in the tank, but I was curious if I could also include some submerged low light plants. I know this is not optimal low light conditions for the plants to thrive, but would the plants at least...

So I got a flier in the mail for a LFS that I had sworn had gone out of business a while ago... Congressional Aquarium in Rockville, MD on 355... Rockville Pike at that point I think. Anyone been there recently? How is it? Good livestock? Is it worth slogging through the hellish 24/7 traffic...

Dont know if this has been posted here or not, but a friend passed this on to me... I thought it may have been a joke, til I was able to find this original article about it. More evidence of the amazing biodiversity out there for us to find! MBARI News Release - Researchers solve mystery of...

Woke up this morning to a dead dwarf gourami. This was rather suprising as he has been fine recently.. eating well, good coloration, etc. When I found him, here is how he looked: - nose down, curved body, clamped fins. - hard as a rock as if muscles had siezed at time of death. - pale, edges...

So for those paying attention, I have been concerned about my male cac for a bit now... not eating and hiding alot. Under some good advice, i pulled him to my QT to give him some breathing room from my manic danios and give him a chance to eat. Well, my worries have been justified... we have...

So hearing a lot of dialogue about culling spawns at points in their growout process, and also about people finding "quality stock", I was wondering... is there a written breed (or species i guess) standard anywhere? Just thinking that organizations like the AKC will publish what they consider...

Hi folks, just got a plant w/ a *ton* of snails & eggs on it who I really dont want in my tank. I seem to remember seeing something about a bleach dip that I could use to kill them off? what would the process be for that? Or does anyone else have any methods for cleaning off a plant...

Hi folks, Do any of you have any leads on a local breeder who does Cockatoo Apistos? Thanks!

Hey... have to set up an emergency quarantine tank... what should I do to make it habitable? do I need a filter even if it is not cycled, or will PWC's do the trick... heater? Bubbler? Thanks!

Hi all, So I have a female Cockatoo Apisto that I am starting to get worried about... she has been hiding under a piece of drift since last night, and has not emerged once. She has gone pale... kinda like sleeping colors I guess. No lateral stripe, just a dot 1/3 way back on both sides...

Okay... gross... I know... I know. What does it mean when a fishes poop looks more like "sausage casing, no filling"? My dwarf Gourami has been pushing these kinds of poops out for a little bit now... and they can sometimes get rediculously long like 3 or 4 inches... do we have a problem? ewww
