I am one to get attached. In all aspects of my life, which is why I have 5 dogs, 3 who are foster fails and a foster fail cat. (In my defense i habe plenty of nonfailed fosters lol) Sent from my VK810 4G using Aquarium Advice mobile app

Yup, the BB shpuld be okay as long as the water is dechlorinated. No different from doing a lsrge scale water change. The difference in the water might matter to the fish if it is big enough. Just would need to acclimate them. Sent from my VK810 4G using Aquarium Advice mobile app

I have my 75 on my second story in the middle of the house (as opposed to an outside wall) against a wall. It sits next to a 20g. My dog jumps up on it and puts his front feet nearly over the edge when he's thirsty and it hasn't fallen. (Hes also not allowed to be around it unattended and we had...

I would also contact local AQ clubs and ask for help for someone to babysit your fish. Where are you located? Sent from my VK810 4G using Aquarium Advice mobile app

I use mashed potatoes for mine. Seems cleaner and longer lasting. Sent from my VK810 4G using Aquarium Advice mobile app

Heres what it looks like now. (The water isn't yellow, its from the flash.)

Tolak, I kist saw your reply. Thank you! I can get them relatively easy from my LFS but I thought it would be healthier for my fish for me to culture them on my own. So even with the filter I should be doing a 100% wc a day? I can cut a square off the sponge in my filter right now and use that...

:thumbup: i have mine in a shallow plastic container, its 2qt. I only need enpugh to feed four tanks (two 20s, a 75, and an oscar) twice a week. I just can't seem to keep them clean, but I haven't been using a filter. I will construct a tiny sponge filter and see if that helps any. The paper...

How much water are in the tanks? I thought they were air breathers and couldn't get oxygen from the water but it appears I was wrong about that. Is the filter for biological or mechanical filtration? Sent from my VK810 4G using Aquarium Advice mobile app

Do you use a filter? How do you clean them? Sent from my VK810 4G using Aquarium Advice mobile app

Has anyone sucessfully kept a blackworm culture? I can't find too much about it other than one video of a 10 gallon tank, which is way more than I want haha.

Can you use it as a siphon as well? Sent from my VK810 4G using Aquarium Advice mobile app

My water out of the tap is 7.8ish and in the cycled aquarium it is 6.0. I have drift wood in there now but I was worried it would make the water even more acidic and mess with my bacteria so I added a bag of purigen and that takes care of it. You can easily avoid it by doing more water changes...

Whats your cycled tank water ph? Sent from my VK810 4G using Aquarium Advice mobile app

I mean you could get seeded media. Angelsplus.com sells seeded sponge filters. All you need to have on hand is an air pump. Sent from my VK810 4G using Aquarium Advice mobile app

Thanks trennamw! Today I can hardly see where the open wound was and we started switching bacl to plain ole non-medicated or salted water. Tonight a 25% change. Tomorrow night I will do another 25% change and Saturday, when I have more time, I will drip acclimate him back to completely plain...

I got a seeded sponge from Angels Plus and my 75 gallon was cycled in 4 days. There were snails on it, be warned. I picked off all of them but somehow I missed one. Now a few months later I have a ginormous mystery snail. Sent from my VK810 4G using Aquarium Advice mobile app

FYI Nils, Pet Supplies Plus has Blackworms but you have to get them before they run out, they come in every Wednesday! ($1/oz last I checked) I'm currently attempting to culture them. I also have cultures of microworms and banana worms growing out of my ears here in North Charlotte if you wanted...

Hey, Nils, there was a post on CL the other day about cherry shrimp. Just FYI! Fire Red Shrimp Like Cherry Red Shrimps but Darker Red

I think two of them would do okay in a 5 gallon. Mine don't really move too much. Mostly they stay in their zen pose randomly throughout the tank. LoL

I have two ADFs woth my betta and pygmies (amd the killi and everyone else lol) and they don't harass anyone. I tried them with ghost shrimp and they couldn't even catch them because their eyesight is so bad they wouldn't strike until the shrimp had moved on lol. Two or three would be okay in a...

Thanks guys! This experience makes me want to go and learn more about fish ailments and treatments! Sent from my VK810 4G using Aquarium Advice mobile app

He is too squirmy for pictures as of late! Not to mention that his water is green due to the fungus medicine which doesn't help the lighting. Tonight he ate a chunk of bloodworms. Is it okay to give him frozen chunks? For my other fish I thaw them first but the LPS lady said she just drops a...

I don't really know much about killifish but I saw one with a crooked spine so I got her and she does well with my betta haha. She was called a Golden Wonder but I'm not sure if that's true or not and there is a lot of conflicting info on golden wonders. I do know that there are smaller species...
