    Suggestions for an interesting cull eater?

    A gourami or betta would work depending on how many fry we're talking about here. I had one large betta spawn where there were too many fry for the father to take care of. So instinctively, the father ate a bunch of the fry to reduce the numbers. Let's just say, the father looked extremely...

    Suggestions for an interesting cull eater?

    Crayfish tend to stay on the bottom, so any fish you want culling would have to come to him. Chances are, with how tall a 29 is, it'd probably take a while for it to actually catch the fish (most likely when they're sleeping). You could always just lower the water level, however.

    Dog needs home!

    Pit bulls are one of the most loyal and loving breeds out there. Many owners will tell you a well bred and properly socialized pit bull is just as safe as your average golden retriever. Some of these comments are really unfair to the breed. I know a lot of people tell you to adopt and so...

    Need Suggestions for a New Camera + Pics of 55g Re-do

    Yikes! Those photos are amazing but I'm afraid that's way out of my budget. If I were to spend $2000, you'd better believe I'd be looking into buying a bigger tank first. haha.

    Where were you on 9/11?

    Freshman in H.S. during gym class. Didn't hear the announcement over the speakers, so I literally didn't find out until lunch time when everyone was talking about it and all the TVs in school were on. I live by an airforce base in NJ. Three years later as a senior in my World Religions class...

    PEOPLE ARE NOT HONEST

    To be fair, for every story I hear like yours, there's people like me who have had over 200 transactions on ebay buying and selling and only having one transaction go bad (item sent was counterfeit). I know it's easy to characterize ebay sellers as dishonest people, but in my opinion, most of...

    New pet rats!

    Pretty neat that you can house two male rats together (i'm assuming they're both male from the pictures). Reminds me of a male mouse I once had named Kazoo (from the Flintstones). He was incredibly friendly and tame... but that SMELL. Don't think I'd ever get another male rodent again. I have a...

    Impending Power Outage

    If I were in your situation, I'd probably secure the tanks to the wall first with wire. Then I'd find some kind of padding to wrap around the tanks (styrofoam sheets, thick bubblewrap, maybe even a comforter). Anybody have suggestions on what to do with my biowheels in case of power outage? I...

    Navy SEAL's Dog Guards His Coffin

    http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2029688/Navy-SEAL-Jon-Tumilsons-dog-sits-coffin-funeral.html Reminds me of how my own dog (german shepherd) is never more than 10 feet from my side and always in the same room as me.

    Government in the hobby?

    I totally thought this thread would be about govt. officials that were into fish keeping like us (I have no idea why). Having said that, anybody know if any previous president has had an aquarium in the white house before? As not to derail the topic, part of the reason is to protect the local...

    Need Help IDing Tail Type

    Mermaid, your boy is a veiltail. You say you just got him, so the chances are he's still young and his tail might keep growing. Could also have some spade tail in him, but from what I've seen, those are extremely rare and unlikely. Spade tail: More info on spade tails here...

    what to do with a 2 gallon hex

    A temporary solution depending on the fish and what you want to do with them once they're grown, but you could try adding some fry (probably livebearers would be best) that she could take care of and watch grow.
