    Cichlid with Fin Damage

    Well the package arrived today and he must have been getting bullied a little in the bag. He was alive and well but favoring one fin very badly, keeping it tucked into his side and laying on the ground. I added some stress coat andgave him a few hours and he's swimming with the others looking...

    Vacation Nightmare...

    I ended up going on an unexpected week vacation from FL to CT, where I grew up, and only had an hour to get ready. I barely had enough time to pack and didnt have much time to plan for feeding the fish. A good friend of mine, who has owned tanks all his life, was fish sitter for the week. I just...

    African chiclids

    12-15 in a 30 tall? I'm fairly new to cichlids though I've done a lot of research so I could be wrong, but that seems like a bit much especially for a tall wouldn't ya think? Right now I'm looking at my 30 (not tall) and the footprint of that tank isn't very large, so I'd imagine a tall would be...

    Aquarium apps for Android?

    sorry for the late reply... basically I saw he was advertising his app on this forum, so I checked out the thread. No where in the thread did it say anything about yes or no we will have an android app, so I asked if one will be coming out. The reply I got was pretty much yelling at me like I...

    Root Tabs/Fert?

    nice thank you very much. clay powder may be a problem. I've worked with clay since high school and finding truely "natural" clay can be a pain. All that polymer stuff is everywhere now. If you have a source online I'd appreciate a site suggestion, but I'm sure with a little research should be...

    Root Tabs/Fert?

    thanks jeta, yeah the more I typed the worse it sounded lol. I will gather the ingredients and do it without ammonia based ingredients. I've looked at both those websites within the past hour and most likely will go that route. As for mixing the product, do you put the ingredients in the...

    Hey everyone, I was just watching a little gardening show on tv, and they were talking about clay balls in the soil to help with nutrients. I just bought a big box of clay to add to my soil a couple weeks ago and got almost the full 5 lbs left still, so I was thinking about popping a few extra...
