    Long Hiatus, New fish: Brachyrhamdia imitator C. brevirostris

    It's been a long while since I've been active on this forum (school and what not). And fish keeping has taken a back seat but here's my latest acquisition: It's a small naked catfish that interestingly has a similar patterning to several species of corydora such as C. melanistus and C...

    Fluval Spec V Reef Build

    Hey guys. So for a long time I've been doing FW and I thought for college I'd up the ante and do a reef. I've done FOWLR in the past before but nothing with coral. So far I've gathered all my materials which include: Prime HM TDS-3 API Reef master and other tests for cycling (pH, ammo...

    What live foods to feed tiny catfish?

    I have a small collection of small cories and microsynodontis that I'm breeding (cories are a success, not micros though). Right now they're on a diet of NLS thera A and wafers. I would like to throw in some live/frozen foods but daphnia are too light to get to the bottom and bloodworms are far...

    I just want to say hi again because I've been gone for so long!

    Sorry guys I've been gone for so long. I got caught up in a few projects and I completely abandoned the site that got me re-addicted to my decade's long hobby. I'm back and I'll hopefully be here to stay for a more permanent time. I wonder who still remembers me...it's only been a few months.

    Feeding Pygmy Cories/ Breeding them

    Well so I bought some pygmy cories... (they were mislabeled as hastatus but I got them for 2 dollars each anyways so whatever) I have 6 of them and I've had them for about a week. I'm pretty sure I still have at least 5 since they're always hidden amongst my plants. How can I be sure they're...

    How man gobies could you fit in a 40 breeder?

    Out of curiosity has anyone ever kept many species of gobies in one area? I know that if you get similarly colored gobies there may be competition but what exactly is the general rule for bottom dwelling gobies? Also are there any top dwelling sw fish?

    Desert Gobies

    They're almost colored up. This male is getting some breeding colors already. This picture is great for sexing fish. The male will have this backwards curved protrusion behind the vent.

    Bored? Try Corydoras paper craft!

    Print them out and then cut them out and fold along the dotted lines. Then glue together...tedious yes. Rewarding? Maybe. http://www.nettaigyo.com/corydoras/illust/papercraft/index.html

    Maximizing space in a small tank

    Anyone think this is a viable idea? Take a small 5 gallon, then construct a platform halfway up the water column slightly smaller than the foot print of tank effectively doubling the floor space of the tank. I know water volume is small but for bottom dwelling fish it seems like a pretty...

    About how much would it cost to DiY a nano LED fixture?

    I'm looking into a mr. aqua cube or an even smaller pico aquarium for my first reef. I'm curious as to just how much a diy LED fixture is going to run me. I'm thinking I'll want to use a total of about 6-8 3watt CREES for this project. Any ideas?
