    I finally found pygmy corys. Very, very cool fish.

    Lucky you, and such a great price! I've also wanted some of those for a long time. On the bright side, I found out somebody locally is breeding them, they are just dot size right now; maybe he'll sell me some one day.

    Distressing Kuhli loach behavior

    Good luck, I hope he pulls through. Mine is still alive (and ok) today.

    Lol....ANOTHER wonderful Ebay item up for sale !! Stand in line !

    Thanks, Roan. "Cover the bottom of the bowl with some gravel or sand, about 1/2 inch high." then "Fill the bowl with tap water to a height of about 5 inches from the bottom." So, how much water does that actually mean in a 1 gallon bowl?

    Distressing Kuhli loach behavior

    It's hard to go to another pet store for them here. I have been after these guys for months, calling around regularly. This was the only store that had them, finally. A couple stores flat out told me they don't order them in any more because of mass deaths. I specifically asked the store how...

    HELP!! unknown disease

    I don’t think the 2 problems are related – exactly. The crawling dots on the glass are likely planaria. If there are an excess of them, that means there is too much food for them. That being the case, then the conditions are also causing water-related problems for your angelfish. Cut down on...

    Distressing Kuhli loach behavior

    Bunny, I'm sorry, I'm not going to be of any help to you. But your situation sounds exactly like what I'm going through. I bought 6 kuhlis a week ago Friday (Jan 27th) and I, too, am down to one. They each die the same way you describe, with the spinning/convulsing. After the first 4 died...

    Sexing Zebra danios

    Quoting from http://www.fishpondinfo.com/danio.htm#sex Males are more slender and sleek. Mature females are fat, especially when egg-laden. In the ordinary zebra danio, the males' yellow white areas (stripes and on the dorsal fin edge) are a much stronger yellow. Males tend to be smaller and...

    Itchy Fish

    Washing sand?

    I put mine into a big net (10x7) and let the water from the tap rush through it. Only 2 or 3 cups at a time, because it's heavy and actually the less you put in at a time, the faster each batch goes. Still very time consuming, but worth it (to me). Then I emptied the net into a white aquarium...

    Do fish need light?

    I think people are getting confused over light (the aquarium light), natural room light, and total darkness. A fish tank in a room with a window that lets in light will be fine, the fish do not need the aquarium light on, they still will get day and night. If the tank is in a dark basement...

    test kits/tubes and stoppers

    I just recently started using AP test kits and I like them. But I hate the stoppers. I hold the lids down as tight as possible, but they still leak. The liquid gets between the lid and the tube sides. When I’m doing the kh and gh tests, for example, this accumulation splashes a bit each time...

    Algae Question

    Welcome to Aquaria Central! Plants and algae are a balancing act. What amount of lighting do you have over your tank – watts per gallon? Since it’s a new setup, you probably have no nitrAtes yet. Do you have a test for that as well? A lot of times in planted tanks, the plants use up all...

    corydoras gossei (pic)

    Just wanted to share a pic of my new corys. It's always so exciting to get new fish. An Aquarium Society member breeds these and I just bought them from him today. Not usually seen in the stores. The picture could be better, too, I'm still working on it, my camera's not that great. Their...

    ammonia problem

    Welcome to Aquaria Central! I’m not really sure about your high ammonia. Perhaps the Amquel had a yo-yo effect. Is this the only water conditioner you have to treat your water supply? Water changes would be a better way to deal with the ammonia and nitrite. So, when you say you are doing...

    HELP! Now I've lost a ram!

    Daveedka's article on ich says 2-3 tsp per gallon. Perhaps double your salt level?

    In need of corydoras panda

    Do you belong to a local Aquarium Society? If not, find out which one is for your area. Usually they have online info and forums/bulletin boards. Somebody there should be able to help you. Quite possibly a member is a breeder of pandas and would sell some to you.
