I have 10 of the porkchop rasboras http://www.aquahobby.com/gallery/e_Trigonostigma_hengeli.php They are small (1-1/4 inch when grown) and lively. I have had them for almost 2 months. They occasionally go off on their own but MOST of the time they are still schooling together, back and...

That was great.

How are your other fish doing now, Beeker? As mentioned when you first got them, I have been after kuhli loaches for a long time. A couple stores I asked, said they won't bring them in any more because of mass deaths. Last Friday, a store I regularly called finally had some. I bought 6...

I know the "most users" line never works, it's ALWAYS yesterday and the number goes up and down, but this cracked me up. How'd those 112 people get on yesterday? Anyhow, glad to be back.

Besides nitrates, there are many other toxins building up in the water that you can’t test for – we CAN test for nitrates which we use as an indicator. Water changes take care of everything, not only nitrates.

Yes, you can cut it back all you want. Can you take the rockwork out to trim it? Otherwise you'll have mega-bits floating everywhere. I used to find the easiest way was to put my stones with the moss upside-down in a basin, lift and then with the strands hanging, trim it evenly with scissors...

Daveedka does, maybe he'll see this, or PM him for dimensions. See this thread, his reply 5th down. I was going to fashion one per his instructions, but haven't gotten around to it, yet. http://www.aquariacentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=63374

Happy Birthday!!!

I would say the Bronze Cory (Corydoras aeneus) is the hardiest. But I would not put it in your tank. It can grow to 3 inches so you do not have the room. As well, any cory would prefer to be in groups. The 3 gallon tank is already overstocked with the danios (plus it is not enough swimming...

Answered in General Freshwater.

The Mastercraft Silicone that I currently have on hand specifically states “ideal for use in aquariums” and it says it contains methyltriacetoxysilane. The CL Lawrence Aquarium silicone, Material Safely Sheet, lists it as one of the ingredients also...

http://www.aquariumpharm.com/filstardirections.html Priming the filter is under Step 7. Note, under the last step "G" – During the 2 minutes waiting time, I usually also tilt the canister itself all around to get out more air.

Depends if it's going to be a planted tank or not. If not, just enough to cover the bottom glass is sufficient.

My current CAE lives fine with zebra danios, flame tetras and corys. I think zebra danios would be ok, they're small and fast (as ghinksmon pointed out). A second CAE isn't a good idea, as they are territorial and a 20 gallon is really on the small side for one. I think thebluejackal hit it...

The male's is thinner as Dangerdoll said, and also pointy (angled) at the end. The female's is blunt. At least that's how they looked when I used to have breeding angels.

I'm jealous, too. I want some kuhlis for my re-setup 29. I have been phoning around regularly for over 2 months now, hoping to find some.

Some excerpts from my Microlife book (I love little thingys in the tanks!) Amphipods (Side Swimmers). At night, they scurry about grazing on the rich protist films covering submerged vegetation or debris. When they swim, they invariably roll over on their sides. This behavior makes them easy...

My cat doesn't realize cats are supposed to be independent and sleep a lot. She hangs around me all the time... I mean ALL the time... If I go from point A to B she'll follow me. If I forget something even 2 or 3 times, she'll tag along, back and forth. She purrs most of the time. And rubs...

Definitely agree. This is an excellent rule to follow. Quoting from: http://www.skepticalaquarist.com/docs/invertebrates/flatworms.shtml So the moral is, don't worry about the flatworms you can see; they're not going to attack the fish in any way. The rule "If you can see it, it's not a...
