    New Discus, How do I feed them?

    Even though you got the to feed off bloodworms I would still try to contact the guy you got them from and figure out if he was using any dry food. It is sometimes very hard for discus to take dry food, but if you can train them too it is very worth the effort. switching off with dry and frozen...

    which is the most hardy angelfish species from experience??

    i think you may be a slight bit misinformed. most of the mentioned angel fish are all forms of Pterophyllum scalare. that is the most common angel fish in the aquarium trade. Gold angels, marbled, zebra ect are all forms of this species. and they are the most hardy of the angels, or at least...

    gudgeon advice/ experiances please

    there is a fish store out here that is keeping them in stock. I dont like the store much but what can you do. I basically chose the female because she looked like she was going to explode, and I was pretty sure about the male because of the head shape and size difference. They spawned in a...

    If you want your Python to really "Suck"

    the problem with using the outside spicket is your wasting so much more water than using it the traditinal way. A much better way is to just us the python like a regular suction system and have the end drain into the bathtub or outside. You get almost 3 times the suction as using the sink and...

    how long to boil a stick

    ten min would kill anything living in a stick. also, the heated water will remove some of the tannins(the things that turn your water brownish color). I have always found my own woo to put in my tanks and usually soak them repeatedly in hot water for long perioods of time to release the tannins...

    Discus flakes

    i know the amount of protien in discus flakes is similar to the amount in goldfish flakes, and most of the other stuff is the same as well. The falkes will be good for the angel fish as well. My discus do better when I switch off flakes and bloodworms.

    discus in 29 gal?

    if you do get a single discus as a "center peice" for your tank it will probably try to hide in a corner almost all of the time. I have also noticed that they tend to darken their color and do not look as good. To keep discus that are fun and pretty to look at you need a breading pair or a...
