He's adorable. I like the second pic with the cat best!

What a great name! After MANY years of resisting, I recently got a pleco for my 29, an albino bristlenose, and I'm hooked. When it crawls around sucking up algae, its little "nose" wiggles like a bunny. S/he's just a baby and I don't know if it's a he or a she yet. Its name is Andy/i...

I don't think those are the expiry date for AP test kits. See: http://www.aquariacentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=63695 The last four digits are the month and year of manufacture.

Tsk, tsk.

What is the average air temperature of the room the tank is in, and what temperature are you heating the tank to? From: http://www.skepticalaquarist.com/docs/setup/heaters.shtml Judging how many watts you need depends on how many degrees above ambient room temperature you need to raise the...

When I had some day surgery, I chose general anesthesia rather than a local. I figure it's the closest I'll ever come to time-warping! I think they really know what they're doing in a hospital, I felt GREAT afterwards, absolutely nothing like how awful I felt after I had my wisdom teeth out...

As Teelie said, harmless. I have a different kind of copepod in my tanks (harpactacoid). I wouldn't mind finding a cyclops! What magnification did you use for your pictures?

Do they all have those 2 oval sacs on the bottom? My first guess was cyclops (eucopepoda - free-living copepod), the sacs would be females carrying egg masses. Edit.... Here we go... in order not to get a gazillion cartoon pics of cyclops, google images of cyclops copepod. Here's one...

Big Als Canada has them as $34.99 and 8.99 respectively.

How many bottles of drops do you have to put in to get your test result? I believe the ones with 1 bottle are the Nessler's type and with more regents (2 or 3) are the salicylate tests. (At least this holds true for Aquarium Pharm.) Glad to hear things are looking up for you! p.s. get a...

I'm trying to remember all I heard in a presentation on cories a couple months ago. Two things I remember are their eyes should be sticking out (not sunken) and their tummies should be round. Now that's something you can only see really if they're moving about. You can check their barbels and...

google images of boraras maculatus There are some pygmy rasboras that are all red and have more spots but if you google that name, there are some that look like that.

What a nightmare! I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. My condolences.

The first post said are fish in the tanks. How high is 'high'? Please give the exact number for your latest test result.

Doing research on something aquarium-related (can't remember now) but one link led to another and I was suddenly in the forums.

And don't be tempted with the product "Cycle". Here's something to start your reading on it, then search and read other posts. http://www.aquariacentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=66840&highlight=cycle+product

Invisible1130, to reiterate what some others have said, you are doing good since you are now stuck with the fishy cycle. Keep your ammonia and nitrite readings at the lowest measure from 0 on your test chart. Whether that means 30% daily water changes or 50%, so be it. There is little to no...

It's a fantastic picture! My concern as a tank background is that you'd have to be very careful in how you set it up equipment- and decoration-wise in order to view it at its best. I assume you will have pillars and stuff inside the tank so for an extreme example, if all you could see were the...

AP test kit shelf life: http://www.aquariacentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=63695 Edit... I used Hagen in the past. They were all right, nothing wrong with them. I switched to AP just to keep my life interesting. Actually, on the Hagen ammonia I wasn't impressed. They have 2 kinds of...

Well, I did it! And - yay! - I can still use my fingers to count to 10!!!
