Glass Catfish (Kryptopterus bicirrhis) sometimes called Ghost Catfish. I have had glass catfish (not to be confused with Glass Fish - although I have had them also) for many years. They are very gentle and fun to watch as they "feel" any other fish that swims by them with their long whiskers...

I have three angels and three Dwarf G in my 55 Gal. I also have lots of other fish I stock heavy also). My schooling fish are Jumbo Neon, Rasbora's, and Silver Tipped Tetra's. No problem with compatibility with any of them.

People nowdays always seam to forget the really cheap and actually one of the better ways of feeding baby egglayer fish. I use to do this decades ago and it still works fine today. Take a chicken egg, boil it until it's hard, peel it, either through away (or eat) the white and save the yoke...

Everybody has their personal opinions about undergravel filters. Some like them and some don't. I have used them on every tank I have owned for the last 35 years. The tanks have ranged in size from 10 gal to a homemake 70 gal. If you take care of your tank by doing weekly or bi-weekly...

You could also try boiled egg yolk. Works great and is teeny tiny, just right for egg layers young. Boil an egg, get a very small portion of egg yoke, mix with water and use a turkey baster to "place" in front of them. Put the rest of the egg yoke in a plastic bag and put back in the frig...

krap101, What does 8P mean? I see you use it a lot. I usually can figure out these things but this one makes no sense to me at all!

Depending on where you live and your individual water supply, will determine on whether you can put water directly into your tank or not. In my case, my water has so much compressed air in it that when ever I put water directly into the tank there are air bubbles everywhere. Depending on how...

As water passes through the pipes, it is under pressure. The O2 in the water is compresses and goes into the water. When you let the water out of the tap, it is now not under pressure and the O2 forms into bubbles and goes away. Depending on how many bubbles you have and how long you let your...

What do you think of my new design? I call it My "Stream Aquarium". It could come as is, or with a "waterfall" or "Rapids" attachment. (Note: I can't see on the "preview page " if the attachment worked or not. I'll try it and "submit" anyway. If not, a "administrator" can delete this post.)

Putting a background on the back of a tank doesn't do anything for the fish, unless you are trying to control light coming in from a window (that would create lots of Algae), or help to coverup one side of the tank so the fish don't get scared from something moving behind it. It does help to...

On the other hand, they are fun to squish and let the fish eat. I mash 10 - 15 every other day or so and the angels can't get enough of them.

If you could design and build your dream aquarium, what would it be like? How big, what type of filters, lighting, substrate, fish, plants, etc, etc. I have sketched out the plans for part of mine. It would be 6 feet long, 4 feet wide and 6 feet tall (5 feet of glass and 1 foot of base to...

Put it on an ant hill for a week or so. They will completely strip it of anything. then boil it, dump the water, rinse it, and repeat for 3 times or until the water comes out clear. Be aware that even after it is completely cleaned out, it will slowly degrade and mess up your water...

I have the same problem with my Angels. I bring them home, QT for a week, put them in the tank, they eat good and live for 1 - 3 weeks, usually start swimming in a flat spin for a day, then die. All other fish fine, water conditins are all good, ?????

Also check the light area, unless it is covered.

Where did you find this article? I think I had the same thing.
