    Bubble nest

    What’s your water like? Ph? Hardness? I would try giving him some tannins and leaf litter and feeding him plenty of live food.

    Which Fish For Summer Pond Breeding?

    I typically breeding a few species out side in the summer in container ponds. I have a 4ft long 55gal tub left unstocked while it grows some plant cover, algae, and daphnia. It has a river sand base and lots of good hiding places for fry. My water is harder but will soften up with all the...

    Hairgrass tips

    Where did you get hairgrass seeds? You you know if they are actually dwarf hairgrass or something else? I personally would let in grow in a bit more but if you have good lighting and co2 it will grow just about the same either way.

    Chrome’s Low Budget Low Tech Nano Build

    I drew up a mock area the size of the base of the chi to get an idea of the size of cave I wanted. I am hoping with glue I can get a much more rounded shape than I can just stack I am hoping to mound up the substrate over the back of the cave and grow some sort of carpet over the top of it...

    Chrome’s Low Budget Low Tech Nano Build

    I snagged a Fluval Chi off Facebook because the filter and light are broken. I haven’t had a nano aquarium in 15yrs and this is going to go on my desk since I work from home. I almost ordered a couple hundred dollars worth of stone, plants, and lights but that takes a lot of the fun out of it...

    Poorly Swimming Spotted Climbing Perches

    It just occurred to me that since they have been stuffing them selves on solely blood worms while i was gone. And my perches are pigs. That maybe they are constipated from all that protein. I recall that peas are a good laxatives for fish. I just don't know how i would get them to eat it. Sound...

The worst part is the employees clearly can not...

    Buying a new betta

    Petstores will never stop selling bettas and goldfish. Its the people who don't know better usually who take fish home and keep them in a little bowl. I don't know of any Betta breaders in south florida close enough to drive to. There are some ones I hear are nice and breed quality bettas...

    Peacock eel?

    I feed my fish small amounts whenever I walk by the tanks. I just scoop out some brine shrimp from my brine shrimp tank and drop them in. Or grabs some blood or blackworms from the fridge. I feed them around 4 times a day every day in smaller amounts. It is what works best for me.

    Peacock eel?

    The peacock eel should clean up once I shot a bunch into the sand bed by mistake and my eel carefully dug every worm out and ate them. I target feed all my fish I feed live and frozen to. It takes me I while but I enjoy it.
