    the beard of death

    beard of death Yes, shorten the lighting duration. Had the same problem, go to 7-8 hours. Split it into 2 periods of 3.5-4.0 with 4 or 5 hours of darkness in between. Helped a lot.

    Growing in my filter medium?

    Freshwater with no new fish or plants added for at least 10 months, plus it's winter here since November so I don't think it was anything that came through the window.This tank has been going for 2 years in this home and never had these guys in the filters. Also had many tanks in my earlier life...

I did some more research and there was mention of...

    Looking for the most fun aggressive fish Sorry I left them out of my first post,but yes the Oscars are a good choice.Not what I would call the most aggressive but will eat anything that will fit in their mouth,and will develop a personality.Kind of like the Newfoundland or Labrador Retriever of...

    Betta fin disease?

    Yes DK is!Checked out the links she provided and it looks to be the problem (fin curling).The salt treatment sounded like a last ditch effort,so went in search of Stress-kote but local shop only carries API.Since the fin curling seems to be related to fin rot decided to try the Melafix.Good or...

    Betta fin disease?

    Yes there is a filter and heater.Water is good.I guess I could Google,but I'll just ask for an explanation of fin curling here.The back of the fin is curling but the middle of his dorsal looks to be slowly retreating towards his body(that section has the bubbley,pimply look).I imagine it could...

    Bullseye!!!!!!

    What I wonder about is why the police would let civilians enter an active crime scene?Then go about discharging weapons to dispatch the offending fish on the word of aforementioned civilian?Scares me more than the Snakeheads.

    how do you feed a blind fish?

    Blind Cichlid Try earthworms.Preferably cut in half small garden worms,between the scent and the sonic signature of them wriggling even blind fish usually catch on.Just make sure any uneaten leftovers are removed so as not to foul the tank.

    will this be a disaster? -- mixing big cichlids

    Jack Dempsey At 6" its personality is probably established,although if that Clown Loach is still 1"-2" it may dissapear.Had a very "strong" male JD that would smash glass glass tube heaters if feeder fish were trying to hide behind them.The Pleco is probably safe because of the size and tough hide.
