Hi ya'll! :) I do believe I may finally have enough snails lol. The sand bed is full of em and so are the filters! I'm going to be scooping some out very soon and I can't bear to throw them out so save some lives, help out your tanks, buy snails! ;) Most snails will be less than 1 cm, so I...

crap, I got a better view of her last night. She does have some gold 'sparkles' on one side between her mouth and gills. The only book I've got says velvet is a parasite (with a life-cycle kinda like ich), but doesn't say anything particularily helpful about treating it. The only parasite...

How would treat flukes?

Lots of places to hide, too many if you ask me lol. Catching her is well, lets just say 'interesting' lol. For the moment she is the only platy. I try to only get the warmer species of platy (mac something instead of the varietious -sp?- which are subtropical), but maybe she's a mixed? I...

I didn't have the platy when the heater blew, but perhaps 'blew up' is not the correct description lol. I came home one night from work, um.. May perhaps?, and thier was steam coming out of my room as I headed up strairs... when I got to the tank their was a bunch of steam coming out and the...

how often do you think? more often while their fins heal? Thanks! :)

tried it, No sparkling platy the other fish are iridescent so it's harder to tell. o.O

it does look kinda empty. *tries to resist urge to decorate and plant empty tank* very difficult!* LOL!

Hi, I have some questions lol. Ok, so previously I have on occassion noticed that after a water change one or more fish will 'scratch' their gills against something. I thought it odd. I have read that ammonia will make thier gills burn and cause them to do that, but the ammonia's been...

Hello In 2 of my tanks I have a male betta (ea) and even though the water parameters test ok (no ammonia, no nitrite, less than 20 nitrate) their fins are a little shreddy looking. As for the specific males, one has been fighting fin rot since I bought him at walmart over a year ago, but up...

*sighs* I wish I could get it but that's my whole check... Seriously needs better job to pay for my fishy/plant addictions. :lipssealedsmilie: Good luck! I'm sure someone lucky will come along to get them. :)

The fry have been born. Now if only they'll stop escaping from the breeder (?? O.O`) and getting eating by the gourami... So how old do they need to be before shipping? (I think from ga to tn so not real far. the temps are down to the 80's now.) Any tips for fry shipping? Thanks. :)

*hugs* That pretty much describes me as well, except as well as shutting down sometimes I also get violent. So far I've kept the violent to just tearing up and killing all outdoor plants though. :( I hope you get better. (Just a thought, I've been looking into this myself so thought I'd...

the 10g I believe was just a frog and the king betta. the sorority was in another tank, I don't remember the size op said, but it's listed somewhere in here...

lol I'd be afraid to do that in a 4g, even if the only female I've got ready to breed wasn't the same one that tried to eat him a little while ago lol. He'd probably freak out if he saw her again, took me 3 hours to calm him down after she ate all his fins. :( (I didn't put him with her that...

Hello all :) I am attempting to build a solar powerd pond pump, but am having trouble due to budgeting issues. Perhaps someone here has some parts lying around that they aren't using anymore that could help me please? 1. I need a dc to ac power converter. 2. And also a lead acid battery...

:rofl::evil_lol:

It's not caulk I was looking at, it was sink mats, but I take it that would have the same effect. Definitely won't use them then lol (was going to use in a diy pond filter - eggcrate is insanely expensive here.) Thanks, but I'll just take your word for it. :) lol :thm:

I know this is like a year old, but what happened??! lol Inquisitive minds want to know. :)

alright, thanks, good to know. I just thought it was a treatment or something in how they made the stuff. Glad I thought to ask first.
