Elmer's used to have a shop in the Siebert Shopping Center on McKnight road. That was closed probably 10 or so years ago. The Monroeville store was the original. I couldn't tell you what kind of driftwood selection they have. I do know that they do have some though. Wouldn't hurt to give them...

If you want to take the trip to Monroeville, the best fish store in Pittsburgh is out there. It's called Elmer's Aquarium. Its big, clean and the staff are very knowledgeable. It's a bit of a haul out there but you won't find more items or better fish from a local shop. Unfortunatly, we North...

I've been feeding them enough and they don't leave that much much extra. They tend to clean up the breeder net pretty quick if any extra is added. I try to feed them 3 - 4 times a day. Surprisingly, I've only had a few die. They died within a few days of being born so I'm guessing they were not...

I check Ammonia and Nitrite every other day and change between 20% and 40% of the water as necessary. I have been very careful to make sure My water is thoroughly dechlorinated and not to vaccuum the gravel too much as to not disturb any bacteria that may be trying to settle there. At first I...

I set up my new 20 gal tank early February. I did my research and was confident I wouldn't have any trouble getting it cycled. Set everything up and left it running for 2 days. I decided to do a Fish-In cycle with 2 Dalmation Mollies, 2 Neon Tetras, and a wild Corydora. When I got home from the...
