    Although I know what this fish is, I thought it'd be fun to post to see if anyone else can figure it out.

    Light Stopped working

    My friend gave me this 46g bowfront tank and I've had it up and running for 8 months now ... the bulb in it finally went out, so I replaced the bulbs. All Glass Flourescent Twin Tube 36" light I bought (2) 36" Zoo med lights (25w) to replace the ones in it. It worked for one day and then...

    Yellow Labs available in central PA

    I have a bunch of yellow labs for sale/trade/giveaway if you are interested in picking them up. My labs breed all the time, and I like to watch them grow out, so I have a bunch of labs constantly overloading my tanks. I'd much rather give them to someone who wants them than to give them to a...

    Get water from a dehumidifier?

    hey all, I have a dehumidifier in my basement, and was wondering why I'm dumping a gallon of water at a time down the toilet ... surely it can be of some good use. Would it be safe to top off my tank with this water? I can't imagine that there is any chlorine in it (unlike my city water from...

    Interesting Cichlid Behaviour

    I have a tank of juvenile yellow labs and had 2 of the females holding fry. I caught one of the mothers again this morning and managed to coax 5 fry out of her mouth into my floating baby tank. But I just walked by the tank and there is the mother (who apparently still has at least one baby...

    Is anyone breeding Victorian cichlids: Pundamillia Nyererei

    I am trying to track down some PUNDAMILLIA NYEREREI. Is anyone out there breeding/selling any of these? I found someone on the net selling them, but he won't ship on orders less than $99 :cry: I really only want 3-6 of them ... not $99 (plus shipping) worth.

    Yellow Labs always hiding

    Got a question for you all ... I have a 20g with 8 juvie Yellow Labs in it (with some small yo-yos and a juvenile Demasoni). Since my 55g tank has plants and no rocks, I thought it'd be fun to do a rock structure in the 20g. Well, the labs/demasoni like it so much, that they only ever pop out...

    Help! My light died

    I came down this morning to find that my light wasn't on. I messed with the switches, outlets, and timer ... nothing. I have a 48" Current USA Satellite PC (2x65w) and it is on a timer (on at 9:30am and off at 9:30pm). It was on last nite, but today it will not turn on. I even tried swapping...

    Cichlid female holding eggs

    I have a cichlid question for you guys out there. My largest female kenyii is holding eggs in her mouth. I just noticed it, so I'm pretty sure this is a recent occurrence. As per her behavior ... she is not eating and just sits in one corner of the tank. I'm wondering a few things: 1. how...

    Anyone use the Red Sea CO2 Reactor 500 ?

    Just picked up this reactor for www.thatfishplace.com and was wondering if anyone has used it and what they think of it. I'm currently running (2) 2-Liter bottles of DIY CO2 into it ... does anyone have any opinions or suggestions for me? I can see that it has a speed setting ... what exactly...

    CO2 tank/regulator ... how to get started

    OK, guys, I'm sure there is likely a place to find this already, but I'm kinda at the place where I'm considering doing a CO2 tank since my DIY CO2 never puts out hardly any CO2 bubbles. So, with that said, I have a 55g w/ 130w of CF lighting (10k). I basically don't understand the whole CO2...

    Anyone have a L-46 Zebra Pleco?

    I'm completely intrigued by the Zebra Pleco I saw in a recent issue of Tropical Fish Hobbyist. Does anyone have one? Anyone know where to get one? ThatFishPlace told me they can't order them for some reason, that I fail to recall (something about they don't export them anymore).

    How to get rid of Bullfrog tadpoles

    Anyone have any suggestions for getting rid of bullfrog tadpoles. My friend has about a 4,000 gallon pond and it is becoming overrun with bullfrog tadpoles. Not that he doesn't like frogs but last year they were just everywhere and even got inside the house somehow. This year there's about...

    a strange mix of fish

    Here's a snapshot of my strange mix of cichlids and loaches. I thought I'd drop an update on my scenario. I added a mix of 13 juvenile africans with my current mix of redtail shark and yo-yos + 1 botia historonica a little over 4 months ago. It appears that the cichlids are beginning to...

    Question on Compact Flourescent lighting

    I was wondering how long to CF bulbs last? I've had my CF bulbs for about a year ... do I need to replace them? Do they lose their effectiveness like regular flourescent bulbs do over time?

    Breeding Yo-Yos ??

    Has anyone had any success in breeding yo-yo Loaches? I noticed some odd behavior in my loaches this morning, where their colors basically dropped into a muted gray/silvery color ... meaning all their black stripes had faded ... then they were rubbing up against each other and swimming very...

    Help, lost 10 fish in 2-3 days

    My tank is in utter turmoil ... I just lost 3 clown loaches, 1 platy, 2 hillstreams loaches, 1 killie, 3 rams and a few otos. I tested with my normal 5-in-1 test strips and everything looks the same as always (low nitrates, 0 nitrites and 0 ammonia, ph 7.6) ... fish store confirmed the same...

    Tank Temperature Question

    ok, my question is, if I have a tank without a heater ... why isn't the water stabilized at room temperature? My room/house is set at 77 F ... which I imagine the room with the tank is in is actually hotter since it is my office with little ventilation and 2 computers running (which makes it...

    I'm battling some green algae right now ... and believe that my problem may be due to high levels of phosphates. my test kit is showing a reading of about 2.5 ppm (which I believe is high ???). Anyways, I was hoping that someone could shed some light of the best way to reduce my green algae or...
