They are (2) frontosas.. could you name a couple popular species that could tolerate such a high pH? Will synodontis also eat algae? Sorry, I don't have any pictures of this gold algae, as it's not my tank. I think it's just diatom algae, but he seems very adament about having his pleco.

This may be a dumb question. My friend has a freshwater african cichlid tank (just two small fish total, 37 gallon), uses aragonite and crushed coral as a substrate, and the pH sits at 8.4 or so.. Is there a species of pleco or something similar that can tolerate these conditions? He apparently...

I have read varying information about the potential sizes for the different species of goldfish.. Could anyone clarify, once and for all, for the following species? Oranda Ryukin Bubble-Eye Telescope Ranchu Lionhead Pearlscale Shubunkin Comet Koi Thanks in advance. :)

PETA freak? Talk about an unnecessary comment; what an insult. Excuse us for feeling compassion. The fact that the individual posted a disclaimer does not justify nor excuse such blatant inhumane intent. I would like to say, however, that I do not feel any ill feelings toward this topic's...

That was such a beautiful goldfish. :(

This is my 2.5g freshwater.. the tank is now filled with wisteria.

Just a quick question. How much do pygmy cories generally cost? I'm just trying to figure out if my LFS is overcharging.. they're soo tiny.

Right. It is not actually "mis-labeling;" the term was created to describe an assortment of different cory species. If you take a look at the scientific name on the tag, it will actually say "Corydoras spp." A specific species is not mentioned. My PetSmart usually has black sail and false...

Where did you get the kuhlis at?? I've only been able to find the black kuhlis at PetSmart.

The area around/under the dot is actually a whitish-bluish-purplish-metallic-lilac color. :) Very hard to describe. Thanks for all of the input, guys! Suppose we'll just have to wait and see. =/

So, I got this little guy from PetSmart. He was in the Long-finned Gold Danio tank.. swimming around happily. He is very tiny.. I assumed he was an endler at first, seeing as PetSmart does not carry common guppies.. but, then again, PetSmart doesn't carry endlers either.. I'm having a hard time...

Thanks! I agree that it's one of the better stores in the area.. I only shop there and at PetSmart.

^Yeah, I was asking you. I might have to stop by Care-A-Lot and pick a few up.. I try to only buy supplies there, as I've had a recurring problem with ich when purchasing fish there (usually marine).. :(

Which LFS did you pick these guys up at? I live right around the corner and may be interested in these guys.

How do alkalinity and hardness function, exactly? Weird question, I know. I've noticed that my city's water generally has very low alkalinity and moderate hardness.. yet, yesterday, I tested someone's water, and it was very soft and the alkalinity was very high.. She assured me that the...

I would think that the hard external shell of a mealworm would be much too difficult to digest.

Weird question, I know. My PetSmart regularly carries albino cories that are actually slightly yellowish in color (which I thought was to be expected). However, yesterday, they received a shipment of albinos that are snow white in color. Absolutely gorgeous little guys. When I say white, I mean...

Just a heads up that the Siamese Algae Eaters are being phased out so get them while you can. Anyway, I got some insight into which fish most PetSmarts are bringing in next month.. nothing too exciting. Frontosa Cichlid Green Fire Tetra Asst. Mickey Mouse Swordtails Four Line Pimodella...

Thanks for the prompt responses. Can anyone tell me why they don't live long completely submerged? I've read that they will only live a month or so submerged, but why? One of the pet stores in my area keeps them submerged and has only had 2 losses in their years of keeping them..

I've already done a search and unfortunately came up with nothing. I have a friend that is extremely interested in setting up a mini crab (from PetSmart) tank.. Can anyone specify whether or not these specific crabs are brackish? Unfortunately, I've been hearing both brackish and freshwater...
