I have been evaluating some Red Shiner this week (Cyprinella lutrensis) that I caught in a thrownet. They appear to be VERY hardy fish as I have not lost one in almost a week. Their markings are very interesting however the colors are just not as described in the Complete Encylopedia of...

I just moved 850 miles over 4 days. Don't sweat it ! It can be done and your fish should be fine if you : 1) withhold food - 5 days is not a problem for the fish 2) Keep the temp from varying drastically - use a cooler and heater if needed 3) use an air pump - I used an ac one...

Allivymar, My Angles are laying eggs! I didn't even think they were mature enough! The male is aprox 4 1/2" top to bottom. What should I do? Should the eggs be separated after the parents are done? This is coming at a really rotten time for me as we are bugging out of this apartment in...

I have two regualr dojo's and a golden dojo. The regular dojos stay hidden most of the time where my golden dojo is active during the day. YMMV

Thanks William! Algea growing everywhere :roll: I think I can handle that!

My snails apparently mated again and I have the odd looking egg mass just out of the water. Last time I fed this to the dojo loaches and they absolutely loved it. This time I would like to let the snails hatch and I have a couple of questions. 1) How long does it take? 2) Do I need to...

I think the HOB filters are very good *filters*. Easy to clean, a good place to put charcoal (if needed) and mine is quite. I agree with you that their value as a biological filter is somewhat limited.

Well after a little more investigation I have found that the two plant are entirely different and that this is a *BAD* idea. Apparently the pregnant onion is quite poisonous. I have never seen two different plants that look the same. The only difference in appearance was the flowers. Oh well....

Hi all, I was wondering about this plant. It is doing quite well in my aquarium and I like it quite a bit. It also seems exactly like a terrestrial plant I have that I call a pregnant onion. I have taken some of the daughter bulbs from the terrestrial plant and put them in some of my old...

Take your medicine

You are going to like the Dojo, these fish have pesonality. If you end up with some extra room :wink: consider a Golden Dojo. Not too easy to find but even more fun to watch! The Dojos's have a rep for jumping so keep the lid on. My Golden actually climbed into the guppy breeder net. I...

Being prone to bouts of paranoia, I was checking my 29gal All Glass Aquarium over and I noticed two things which have me VERY concerned. 1) The front top of the glass is bowed out 1/4" to 3/8" 2) The top left corner of the right glass panel is not flush with the front panel. It appears inward...

I have a couple of Dojos. They are full of personality and fun to watch. When I first brought them home, one hid for almost a week (I thought he jumped out also) the other was out poking about in a couple of days. The only problem I have with them is that they are such *active* bottom feeders...

I use a rubber band and an the proper sized rock. I saw this in my LFS and it works just fine.

OK Folks - here are my pictures of the basic steps installing an AH kit. The project took me about 1.5 hours to complete. I was going slowly and taking the pictures. The hardest part for me was measuring the plastic mounting posts on the hood for drilling the holes in the relector. I went...

I have an AH kit due this week (1-9-04) I will take pictures of the process and make them available if no one has already done this. Jay

Thanks Rex - I called AH supply and talked to gentlelman named Kim and he straightened me out. It was not plain to me from thier web site that the 55 w kit would easily retrofit my 20w All-Glass 29gal tank (phillips screwdriver and drill are the only tools needed) Electrobes - Thanks for all...

Ok Ok I BELIEVE in a minimum of 2 watts per gallon :D Here is my situation. I just recently started up a 29 All-Glass Aquarium with a 30x12 top with an over the back filter. My wife is big time into plants in general so we have a nice arrangement of plants to start off with. Of course...
