    The Truth about Fish Stunting

    ...it's not just keeping your fish in a tank that is inappropriate in size that can harm them. Overcrowding is just as serious of an issue. I have a local guy that I sell plant trimmings to. Earlier this year I got four silver Angels from him. They were being kept in a 55gal, however the...

    Angelfish eating duckweed

    I picked up some duckweed for free from a friend and thought I'd add it to two of my tanks as an experiment to see how well I could get it to grow. It is growing decently in the one tank and grew well for about two weeks in the other tank...until my Angels decided to try it out for a snack. Ever...

    New Plant grow-out station!

    I'm starting a plant grow-out/work area in my basement. I've sold a few (plants and RCS) on my local Craigslist to fund plant&fert purchases for my tanks and kept wishing for a place to set aside some of my trimmings. The free space was calling out to me and I finally decided to get things...

    Crystal Red Shrimp

    For those of you who frequent That Fish place..they have them in stock! Previously I've only ever seen RCS and amano shrimp in store, but went in today and they had a tank with some young CRS in it. Juveniles, but priced at just $3.99 per shrimp. I checked online and they are not listed..but...

    Ramshorn Snail?

    Found a Ramshorn Snail in my 50 gal today. With it being a planted tank, I've had the random appearance of pond snails before..but I've never had a ramshorn before. The pond snails seem to stay well under control just by making sure I do not overfeed and don't seem to bother my plants. How do...

    Twin 20s

    I had the opportunity to aquire two "new" 20 gallon long aquariums in the last few months. One free from a neighbor and one that I traded RCS for. They are cycled now and have a few fish in, so I thought I'd share some pics. Both are set up in my sons' room (8 and 6 yrs). Tank #1...

    10 gal Toad Vivarium build

    Pretty simple set up. Substrate is Coconut Bark, sand, and dirt (T-Rex Jungle Bed forest substrate). Flora is sphagnum moss and mondo grass. Fauna is two fire-bellied toads. No filter, just fresh decholorinated water and a land mist 1x daily. I think I might need to make the water pool a bit...

    50 Gal Planted build

    I found a 50 gal for sale on Craigslist for $120. Included glass tank, wood stand, glass lids, and 4x39w Nova Extreme T5HO fixture w/ 3 Lunar lights. This tank will replace my 37 gal. The 22.5" height that tank was just too much for me; I think this tank will be a better fit. Plants, fish...

    Does Flashing mean ich?

    I traded a local from Craigslist some plant trimmings a week ago for some mollies for my son's 20 gal. The last couple days, I've been noticing them flashing up against the plants in the tank...could I possibly be heading for an ich break out? What are the chances that his brother's tank will...

    API ammonia test issues

    I know there are known issues with the API nitrAte test if instructions aren't followed correctly, but has anyone ever had issues with their ammonia test? I have the API freshwater master kit and never once had issue telling the difference between ammonia test results. 0ppm was always a clear...

    10 gal Betta Tank

    My 6yr old got his first tank a few weeks ago. We decided this weekend to turn it into a Betta tank. I made a DIY tank divider and we added the bettas today. One VT male and one HM double tail male. He is pretty pleased with it! Before: After:

    Surprise RCS find

    Last time I cleaned my AC50, I just took the sponges out and the bio-media out, rinsed them in tank water, and stuck them back in; didn't bother pulling the filter basket out. I haven't checked on the impeller in a while, so I decided today to tear the whole thing a part- checked/cleaned the...
