    What fish are YOU?

    Take all the fish in your tank/s. Past or present. Based on their characteristics, personality, habits etc. which one is most like you, and why? Are you the angel fish?

    Adding a sump or cannister on nondrilled tank?

    Starting a feeder tank. Advice wanted.

    So my fish are getting large enough to consume feeder fish. I dont want to go to the LFS weekly and dump 50 feeders in my tank at a time. I figure the best thing to do is start up a smaller tank and just breed feeders. What should I start with? Should I go with feeder guppies, rosies...

    Just lost mt stingray and gar. Ideas?

    I got them both at the same time, along with the sturgeon, and an algae eater. The gar has some splitting and damage to his tail, I thought was just from catching and transport etc. Then he developed a fuzzy mold like white/clear substance on the tip of his mouth/beak/snout/whatever. The day I...
