    Does it hurt female bettas to not breed?

    lol, it negatively effects them when they do breed. male **** near kills them (sometimes does) it is my understanding that the female will not become ?gravid? until she is introduced to a male that has built his bubble nest, then she hides, visiting sometimes, and gets them eggs going. after...

    Cycling Methods & Procedures

    i think that we as aquarist rush these initial processes to much, in our own impatience and ignorance. i did a total of a 4 month cycle. i raised the ammonia to off the chart levels (above 8) for a few weeks-3 or 4. then let it take its course. i added all my fish at once and never had an...

    Newbie with Red Cherry Shrimps, need help asap!

    bobbie- try using a ph stabalizer, it raises alk as well, they are pretty cheap too. crushed coral will disolve and increase the amount of calcium carbonate, making your gh test higher, shouldn't harm shrim though. don't think of your ammonia going up when you add it as starting from square...

    i;m a mariny, and i just have to say that the use of iodinein marine systems has been discouraged since around 2004. what we always tell people who dose it, is to get a iodine testyer first, and make sure that they are within the recomended levels. often with marine systems the iodine can be...

    90 gallon goby/blenny reef

    just make sure yours clarkii are the last to be added, and maybe add the gobies first, starting from small to large, then blennies same pattern. of course this is assuming you are doing the slow stocking route that puts all the fish at ammonia risk. if you are being a realy good aquarist and...

    What corals would you keep under 96w of HO T5 on a 29g?

    if you use sps, make sure they are at the top and are the lower light loving species. i would make it a zooanthid only tank, as it is long. get some realy pricey starters like darth mauls and rainbow palys, some great gatsby, maybe a few japanese zoos too. jmo
