Probably a random question. Does the trim on the bottom and tops of tanks have a structural purpose?

well, to start with you want a second female, my experience with dwarfs is that with only one female the male will pester her so much that she stresses out and dies. As far as the actual breeding, they just breed for me and I don't know why I have such good luck with them. I have noticed that...

bwahahahahaha :twisted: yes definitely. I'm already looking at two compact flourescents that'll put me at 2.8 wpg.... trying to decide if I can get away with a diy CO2 system or not.

borderline, I'd say, but pushing it. They are all pretty peaceable so that helps but I'm not sure about that fiddler crab

hee hee, I'd share but I'm just too excited. 135 is just massive though...I'm a little overwhelmed with possibilities. I also need to talk to landlords and double check that we are on a concrete slab.

Lol. I'm an 11th and 12th grade english teacher at a special needs school :)

I've had my 55gal up and running for about a year. We've been thinking of getting another one, nothing to serious, just playing with the idea. I am ok with this...when it's time the inspiration will come right? So last friday I'm drinking with a bunch of people from work and suddenly I hear...

Yeah I actually spent about a month after we started dating asking firesign what colors he thought things were. :roll: I was just insanely curious because I knew that colorblind was a misnomer but at the same time what do ya see. Dying easter eggs was real interesting :lol: It's a good...

I really like the Rasboras so I'll try adding...let's see 5 that are closer to the same size....if it makes a significant difference than I'll definately let y'all know.

*nods* I actually had very good luck with them in my last tank. The major differences though are that in my last tank I bought them all at once and the tank was fairly heavily planted. I'm trying to decide at this point whether to try again with bigger rasboras or more rasboras....I'm...

they were added Sunday, they were not quarantined, mainly because I don't have another tank for it yet....long story there. I don't think it was something from the lfs as they were fine until Tuesday and it's definitely the bigger rasboras picking on the little ones. Water params all normal...

...and then there were four. We mourn the passing of sally the rasbora who was found dead near the filter intake.... so yeah....I think they are getting bullied. :-(

So apparently I never had to worry that my SO would give me a hard time about the aquariums: firesign :hee hee hee hee bebbies: http://www.idiocentrism.com/discus.jpg umberle: lol nifty huh? firesign: yes, they really are that's an awesome picture despite its low-res umberle: yup...

I just started my tank up but right now what I'm doing is flakes and an algae wafer in the morning in the evening I'm rotating frozen brine shrimp, spirunela enhanced brine shrimp, turkey heart, frozen blood worms, and a prepared frozen veggie cube that has spinach and such things. I also...

Should I go ahead and replace the one that went missing now or wait until they get it worked out? I've looked everywhere and while I can't find a body, I'm pretty sure he's not hiding somewhere either.

I had 3 harlequin rasboras...and then I added 3 more to make a school of 6 since I know that they like to school. This morning one was missing and now the three original rasboras are staring down the two new ones who are hiding in a cornor behind a decoration. All five of them are being very...

how does that work with the oil? do you paint it on the tank and then put on the background?

The two I inhereted really love frozen brine shrimp and will eat flakes if that's all I'm offering. I'm still pretty new to them too. Good luck :-D

Satsumas I just inhereted a tank that came with a 10 incher who couldn't really be kept. I took him into the lfs yesterday and he most definitely was not calm out of the water :lol: It took two of us to get him out of the tank and into the bucket for the trip. fishyfinatic, I love them...

I just got a tank and among other things it came with two rainbow fish. I haven't yet figured out what kind of rainbow fish or, in fact, if they are even of the same type. One, however, is very sleek and brightly colored and the other is a little more subdued in colored and pretty round in the...

In addition to an t-iasg's advice, betta's that spend a lot of time in those little cups in the store often start out with tattered fins and it takes a little while to heal up. You do have to be careful giving melafix, I hear, to fish with labyrinth organs including bettas and gourami. I'd see...

Yeah I need to call them. I'm sure one of the three will take him. I'm also going to take in the frog and the black neon tetra and get three more rasboras and 3 diamond tetras to fill out the schools and maybe a bristelenose.

So now that it's morning and the pleco is holding still for me to get a good look at it...the guys at least 10" and the poor thing can barely turn about in the tank.

apparently the pleco is already about 7" so I think it probably is a common....but I haven't had a chance to get a look at it yet. I'll report back Sunday after I bring it home....provided things don't fall through. ;) EDIT: Hurrah! I am once again a fish mommy :-D I'm so happy I'm darn...
