try this.... you can float the cuccumber either make a slit in the cuccumber and insert an algae wafer or lay it on top of the cuccumber. He might not no wha it is yet. I think someone mentioned bogwood maybe id would get some of that as well for him. Ive never had a problem with my pleco...

i know for a fact the snails will the hermits ........................... not sure about them but they will clean up any excess food that eventually gets trapped under the sand.

I was just interested thats all. Ive heard owners have trouble feeding any kind of eels.

you could try hermits or arrangement of snails

I heard of a snail that latches onto others and drills a hole in the other snails shell to eat them not sure if this is happening but you should know it is out there

sand sifting starfish if you have the room are requirements for one

wont the eel eat the fish?

why would they have to hire anyone? Use the customers. If numerous calls are made about a particular store you could send someone out to investigate (almost like an Auditor). Whether or not that is cost effective or could judge the care im not sure about. Im just think saying that LFS are better...

WEll LFS owner is a liar first off. Ammonia will kill a fish whether or not its hardy. I would check your water first off. Is there any other fish in the tank? I f so he could be eating the left overs from them. if not i would try other foods

yes by why not save the fish when you can? Maybe there should be a level that not just fish but all animals need to keep at. Then no matter if it was a LFS or chain store the animals health and safety are kept to an adequete standard

From what I've read snails and plants are a difficult subject when the potential of selling them comes into place. Certain species of snails are banned from states and some states dont allow certain snails to cross borders. I have a population of apple snails produced in ohio and am interested...

I have a shoal of 8 tiger barbs and I too have one tiny guy but he fits right in and chases the bigger oens too. Not really sure maybe the group is intended to have a small one?

my bad I commented as though we were discussing a common pleco which get at least 12 inches long. clown pleco would be fine in the 10 gallon. I have a common pleco and when I read the reply I was thinking common not clown

lol yea defintly they are fun creatures Im glad I got them. Started with two decided they needed a friend and then went to pick up some food and bought another one hahaha

You bet. They are fun fish and really do swim like schools of fish. They're fun after eating they all swim against the the filter current. Not really sure why although it might be because i drop a little food there for the yo yo loaches to get. They are fast eaters and try to gulp everything. I...

pleco cant stay in a 10 gallon thats too small for him/her. Best to put him in the 90 now i would think putting the shark in last would be best that way he cant get as much territory maybe

i wasnt correcting you simply saying my yo yo got along thats all : )

yes but only because safe is better than sorry. for temperature reason just like getting a fish at the fish store. couple of minutes acclimating and off they go. Im interested in knowing when you are suppose to put the rainbow in. Either first or last i would assume. Allow the others to...

all my platies were bought small skinny fish. And now they are very plump. Although I dont understand how they are often out competed for most of the food by the tiger barbs i believe i found where they were getting the extra food. I throw in two algae wafers in for my loaches pletco and snails...

I have what i believe to be Lava Rock red color looks real nice with live pants around it. its rather cheap rock and look very nice. Also a nice hiding spot not to mention good for bacteria to grow on

My point is to the thread that you could be a LFS or PETCO PETSMART it does not matter. They get all their fish from a hatchery. Im not supporting either supplier. I simply look for healthy fish that are in need of a good home. You could go to a big chain or a LFS and they all know about the...

im sure someone has mentioned it before and ill be honest i havent read everyone thread. The clown pleco and rainbow shark are both pretty aggressive and territorial. I would include into your 90 gallon tank tons of rock caves of some sort and plants silk fake ones or real ones your prefrence...

this is question more of a story that i thought id share. I keep hearing roacks being moved in my tank. Well I looked aover and saw a yo yo loach digging under the rock bed real deep and then laying there until another yo yo comes along and jumping out as if they were playing hide and go seek...

I enjoy my yo yo loaches and they are friendly and they arent harrassed by other fish. I have a 45 gallon tank with a ton of fish in it. In the tank I have 8 Tiger barbs (6 black and tan 2 Albino Barbs) and 4 yo yo loaches they get a long great. In fact unless Ive just gotten lucky with picking...

PH is a little high IMO
