    Breeding mosquito fish

    Will they come to the surface if you wiggle your fingers above it? That's how I check on the goldfish lol. I trained them by wiggling my fingers before during and after feeding, they think it means 'FOOD!' now heeheehee. I'm trying some tetra pond barley extract stuff, but so far the water's...

    Best sand for cories, khulis?

    I was FINALLY able to get some pfs! I got most done, but the newer filter (aquaclear) won't start, argh! and one of the otos got really stressed out and didn't make it. :cry:

    Best sand for cories, khulis?

    I'm more thinking about the khulis, they are always diving in and out of the substrate, I don't want them to get scratched up.

    How not to lose critters, changing substrate, ???

    Thanks! I really like the little pics! ^^ So I tried both the bottle trap and the leaf thing. I left them in for a day (turned off the lights) and a night. I got a small bundle of worms and about 3 snails. I think they either didn't hear about the traps or they did and that's how they knew to...

    Low light carpet plants?

    Are there any / what would be a good (ie, fast or at least medium growth) carpet plant for a low light setup? (It is also soft water in case that makes any difference.) It's approximately 1.37w/g. I've already tried dwarf hairgrass, it pretty much died, and microswords, they seem to be dying...

    trumpet snails in a bare 1/2 gallon jar

    Possibly. I whole wafer might be too much at a time though and just muck up the water. For the six mts I recently put in a 5g a small pea sized amount of wafer lasts about 2 days. A couple tbls or so of gravel or sand would give more area for some algae to grow to supplement their diet, just a...

    Can these be safely used together?

    LOL, I only tried the ph up once and that was (i really don't remember the exact date within the last several weeks), it was due to someone here suggesting that might help with the smell due to the bacteria might have gone dormant because of the low ph. And I did stop, I said that up there ^. :)...

    calcium carbonate sand???

    I've been battling this for months. I vacuum, I change carbon frequently, I change water as often as possible (I can only run water certain hours), about 2 or 4 times a week. I think it is getting better (but the landlady has a 'bloodhound' nose and says it still smells up stairs. :/ I have to...

    Best sand for cories, khulis?

    I've been looking for that, the only pool supply I can find only had a very small bag for $12. and I'm not sure it didn't have something else in it. I don't know why its so hard to find it's not like we haven't been having 80* weather or anything. (Pool stuff comes out in Jan/Feb here abouts)...

    calcium carbonate sand???

    Just trying to find something in my price range and that I can get immediately. I've already been 'ordered' to get rid of all my fish, but I want to try one or two more things to get rid of the smell first. I have a couple plans, both involve new substrate, either partial or all. If only...
