Thank-you all For your input!! I'm new with rams, I've been keeping fish for about 50 years but never tried Rams. What a great little fish! Bob

I have a question for you Ram keepers, the fish on the right side of this picture was sold to my girl-friend as a female German Blue Ram (Mikrogeophagus ramirezi ). I say it is a female Bolivian Ram (Mikrogeophagus altispinosus). Rams are hard to find locally so when my girl-friend was going to...

If it has a center brace on the bottom it probably had one on the top. I'd check out replacing the frame with a new on from glasscages.com. Bob

I'm in a similar situation with a 90 gal. with no center brace and a damaged frame. The tank never had one but the glass is 3/8" thick. The corners of the frame where mitered and not a solid frame work too.The reasoning seems to be if the glass is thicker then a center brace can be left out...

I had a buyer from Va. Beach come and buy all the discus today. Thank you for your P.M.s and interest. Bob Mod, you can delete this post. Thanks

I have some pictures that where taken a few days ago. Still $15 each. Take 14 fish for $125. Bob

I found a 90 tank from someone close to me on Craig's list.

I'm looking for a 48" tank that is 75+ gallons. My 55gal just isn't big enough for my Discus. I can easily modify the stand I made to fit a larger tank as long as I stay with 48" long. If you have one laying around you can sell please PM me. I'm in the Williamsburg area, depending on the deal I...

See if this helps. http://www.thekrib.com/Plants/CO2/co2-narten.html I used DIY CO2 for for several months, it does work.The spring loaded check-valves seem to work better than the rubber diaphragm ones, they take less pressure to open and tend to not stop up. I had nightmares about an exploding...

Duckweed is difficult to control, shades out other plants. I had a heck of a time getting rid out it, still have some in my shrimp tank that I skim off and dump about once a month. In my opinion Watersprite is a much better floater, it's easier to control, also easier to make it stay put at one...

I made an error on the born date for these fish, it was in August not September. Also the prices should read $12 a fish for 5 or more. Sorry bout that. There must be someone close by that is interested! Bob

I have approx. 15 juvenile Discus born 9-15 for sale. Male was a Red Turk, female a Cobalt. Both are Stendker Discus, see pics. They are eating a wide variety of foods, bloodworms, beefheart, Tetra Color Bits, Ocean Nutrition Formula2 and Discus Formula. Pickup only, I don't want to try to ship...

A dominance ritual makes sense to me, I guess this is similar to the ritual that Loaches go through. I didn't think it was violent at all, watching a group of Zebra Danio males spawn with a female seemed more violent than this. Think my Discus could learn from this, dominance without pecking...

Did you notice their black stripes turn silver?

Everything I have read says Siamese Algae Eaters have never been bred in a aquarium. That said, I watched 2 of my 3 SAE's doing some very unusual behavior today. First thing that got my attention was their normally black stripes had gone silver as they swam in circles around each other touching...

I'm also treating a Discus with a mild case of ich, so far it it is slowly going away with 88 temps. Got the meds ready just in case. I read at one of the sites much like the one posted above, that the ich organism is large enough to be filtered out by a micron filter like Marinelands water...

I found a CF bulb at Lowes that will fit in the narrow All-glass hood without alterations. I posted the info a while back, still have the picture. The bulb-base and spiral are a smaller diameter allowing it to replace the bulb on the left. If you remove the reflector you have a lot of wasted light.

Very Nice! A canopy really adds a nice touch to a tank. Matching finishes is always a challenge, I went through several different colors of stain trying to match my stand to my furniture. The color charts are never right. You did a good job there. A couple of those antique drawer handles on the...

I post in that forum as shrimper bob, That's the same place I was referring to earlier in this thread. Great place for shrimp info. Hmm, didn't say the shrimp ate the leaves...did I?

To me that's overkill, but hey, it's your money!
