yup, they dont like dead ones and dont ever feed em feeder goldfish they arent right for the turtles disgestive system. You can even set up a 20L or 20H heck even a 55g plastic trash can with a small heater and air stone/sponge filters and get the fatheads at the bait shop, feed em for a month...

my fish ONLY get ken's flakes and hikari bloodworms. thats it. But I have mine living in 6.0ph at 82 degrees and they get clean water twice a week@35g a PWC.

Yes, is she eating? got a pic of the tank, might not be to her liking and those of us who have had them for years can give some insight. She should have some color and not just greyish silver. What else is in the tank with her? Males wash out too, the males fins are larger then the females...

My dad owns the 210g, Im just the labor and brains(when it comes to scaping and plant knowledge as well as the compatibility of fish) but when worse comes to worse its mine. By then I will have a bigger more trustworthy structured house. I appreciate the compliments, I will use his 14x(compared...

post a pic and well tell ya....... Males are much more colorful then the females, My females have a yellow/orange belly and less color in the fins and my males have red/orange stomachs with tons of color throughout.

they are but when it breaks down, all thats gone and with heavy root feeders it depletes faster. I got the gravel from a guy no longer in the business aspect of the hobby but I think the plant manager might have it but I know he doesnt drive out to AZ.(maybe for ACA if they held it) I got...

Where in the midwest, and that plant water isnt what you need to start a tank, you need some good filter sponge goo. Relax a bit, you should spend $30 and go grab a API master freshwater water test kit, its a very cheap investment to understand where you tank is and it lasts a long time. you...

Your best bet is to get water lettuce,duckweed,giant duckweed, all that floating pond stuff, most people will give it away due to its rapid growth rate. I fed mine minnows once a week, I put 18 of them in there to last a week(had filter and mud bottom) but the rest of the time I would offer it...

Yup its been a while since I have graced you finatics with my presence, alot has changed in the past 13 months thats for sure. 210 got a complete change out and moved it a few feet over, I set up the 75g about a week after we got all our crap moved into the new house, My father was kind enough...

It breaks down rather quickly and gets pretty silty. I used EC in the past but found any true gravel that is 3mm-5mm in grain size will do just fine infact due to the smaller grain size of the gravel the roots grow and you can quote me, 10x better then any planting substrate ive...

Yes, Please every member on this board post the change.org link to those forums and your facebook pages.

Which beach? We used to collect those at IB and coronado. There used to be a LFS on palm, near marco's pizza that took them from us for store credit back in the late 80's and very very early 90's. I forget what they are called as alot of time has passed since then but I think the SDnature...

If you have decent access under that bathtub you can turn it into a 100g indoor pond in a few hours.

I change it when the outflow side's TDS reach 010, they run at 001-003 normally. My tap isnt quite liquid rock but 8.8 is close enough.

I use CPR aquatics constant siphon O/F boxes, they are awesome and after a year of use its still working just fine. your sump, what is the holding capacity of it? I think you will be perfect with a cs102(I got em both, upgraded to the 102 when I set up my 75g, now works friggin awesome)...

Mine are in the basement, house is 120 years old, with original redwood flooring, Im not gonna put any amount of water on it lol. Besides, the basement has a floor drain, if a tank pops so be it, clean up will be half of that if it was upstairs.

yup, if it dies it dies, I have 3 dozen more but these were my first corydoras when I first set up the tank that started the addiction again in 2007. My wife got em from a friend at petsmart from his own breeder cories at home. I have never heard of gas bubble disease.......everything is coming...

I see the dropsy and usually by the time I can see it its way too late even with the expensive meds from arizona. Popeye is a symptom of kidney/liver issues which if not caught soon enough never really recover correctly. My main concern is those pockets of fluid hanging off the fish, there was...

Two pics, same fish. I cant find nothing out there even in 50+ years of written text. im still searching but please do chime in with any and all close guesstimates. I am already banking its multiple issues not just a single one on this old timer. Fish is about 6 years old and petsmart...

I feed strictly kens flakes(super tropical,veggie and beefheart) and hikari frozen bloodworms. I cant feed them anything else and expect them to take to it anymore, I think they are spoiled but they always make a happy plate.

Yep, I know the one in algonquin for SURE has a 4 tiered planted tank, most plants are 3.99 and under. Last time I grabbed a sword from them they gave me a red marbled craw for .27 cents.

Yep, a local reefer OD'd his tank on something(guy is a bit of a lush) the coral has been sitting out of water for a year but in buckets outside where there is no landscaping at all, just asphalt. I figure if I do soak it instead of boiling it will kill any critters inside but since this stuff...

Not a chance, especially since hygro is headed towards the federal invasive list. I know a few strains are on it already.

Ive got a ton well not literally but enough dead/dried coral and live rock(fiji pink) that I would like to use in an african cichlid set up. I got a large stock pot and a turkey frier base that I can use to boil the stuff up but is it safe to use this stuff? how would I clean it other then what...

Well the depot by me is a smaller one, a "top 30" store(top 30 best sellers and like products) and they dont have any linear bulbs in 48" they got 6 and 8 footers and 24" ones but nothing in t8 (t5 yeah right) and their t12's are only in the 3000k spectrum which kinda in itself in my mind anyway...
