    So when can I expect..

    I have them in 3 out of 4 tanks and no explosion here either. I might add I love ramshorns and have never had them dominate in any of the tanks and they eventually die out for me :(

    Short Video of Our Blood Parrot Cichlids

    What nice looking fish and a beautiful tank! The Parrots don't try to nibble on the smaller fish?

    Cloudy Water

    How many fish in the 10 gallon, what kind of filter, when was the last PWC etc. Lots of questions on our end before we can give an answer :)

    what do you do when your sick and need to do water changes?

    This is what I do too - change a few gallons more and the fish will be fine. Keep in mind there are those in the hobby who only fill to the top of the tank when needed (You know who you are - LOL) and they're fish do just fine. Feel better soon!

    Baby Pleco's Discovered

    Mine keep spawning and even though I know some are dinner for the other fish, I always end up with at least 10 fry making it to the 2 inch stage. Good luck with them!

    Where to Buy a Betta?

    The Petsmart Bettas aren't a bad idea if you get them the first day they go on the shelf. I had females from Petsmart that lived over two years, not bad for Petsmart fish. Personally I would try some local LFS before going online, but if you are looking for something out of the ordinary...

    How Much Do Red Cherry Shrimp Cost at Your LFS?

    The cheapest I've seen them in the Chicago area is $5.00 each, with an average price of $7.00 each. The BEST source of Cherry shrimp is msjinkzd here at AC. I ordered from her several times and she has very healthy stock. Other members here also sell there overstock at reasonable prices.

    Betta likes to jump on TOP of filter???

    I agree - Do something to prevent the jumping. I lost two Bettas that way. I had a Betta in a 10 gallon moderately planted and he was the only fish. He managed to jump out near the opening where the filter was on the back of the tank. I had another jump out of a 29 gallon! In nature they...

    Discus pics

    How beautiful! My husband wanted Discus, but since we lack experience with the larger fish we went with Angels. Very nice.

    Bn pleco breeding questions

    My husband and I have a 100 gallon that is heavily planted. I bought two BNs to control algae, and I happen to like the bottom feeders. Wouldn't you know I had a male and a female that spawned! I have Eco-complete as a substrate. In order for the plants to not take over, I put several...

    Canister filter recommendation

    Whatever you decide to buy, do some price shopping. Ask anyone here at AC and we highly recommend www.kensfish.com for your aquaria needs. I have a Rena on the 30 gallon, but we have a Fluval FX5 on the 100 gallon, and I can tell you that we got a great deal. He also sells media at a great price.

    Canister filter recommendation

    I have a Rena for my 30 gallon (the filter is made for a larger volume however) and I love it. It is super quiet and changing the media is easy. The baskets enable you to do whatever media YOU choose so you are not limited. I do some ceramic media, as well as foam.

    blue moscow guppies

    Too bad its January and I live in Chicago - I would be interested. I'll keep watching and maybe you'll have more in spring.

    clown loaches

    I'd be tempted to keep them if I were you - LOL! Good luck with them :)

    blue moscow guppies

    That male is beautiful! I guess you plan to breed that pair?

    clown loaches

    Now you got me. Clown loaches are my favorite, but I just don't have the room for them. I let my husband take over the 100 gallon and he has Angels, so with Clowns it would be too much. What size tank are you putting them in, and what are the other tankmates?
