No, I don't use a CO2 injector or anything like that. Just big-ol' lights. I have river-type gravel, it's like medium to large size pebbles of differing earth color tones, no sharp edges. I'd like to upload a pic of my tank soon, but I'd like for the plants to grow out a bit more before I show...

Everything is doing fine since I updated my lighting as far as the plants go. The anacharis is taking slower to grow, but I don't want to move it around too much. I think because I moved it several times might be why it's taking longer to grow than the others. About a week ago, I noticed...

Oh, forgot to ask, has anybody read about the 'dark matter' phenomena in space? I remember reading about it in time magazine. Apparently, it could pose a threat to planets, or even the universe itself.

Isn't that the truth... Boy, I really started a big one here didn't I :D It's good to hear so many people's minds are open to this sort of thing. I still don't get people who dismiss evolution. When evidence stares you straight in the face, it's time to crack your eggshell open and grow to...

I was wondering, after watching one of those UFO documentaries, what do some of you guys think aliens could want with us? Do you think they could have something to do with our ancient civilizations, or our origins? And what if anything could they be abducting people for? For some reason, I...

I don't trust books written by the hand of another human being, I do believe their were good people like Christ who did walk the earth at one time, but I don't believe he or any of those others would want us all to live as if we were complete slaves to them and their teachings. I think that he...

I dislike this administration as well. But I believe that with as much jet fuel these planes held (they were fueled for cross country flights) they indeed could have melted the steel. Remember too, that those buildings stood for a few hours before the collapse. That day still leaves such an awe...

I do have live plants(see sig) and it's a 55gal tank. I think maybe it was a bad source, though I got the kuhlis from the same place. The ottos lasted a good while, couple months at least. I had really inadequate lighting before though, and I just updated it, so the plants should be able to use...

This is the 5th otto out of the original 6 I had to die from unknown causes. Of course, I tested both my ammonia, nitrite, and nitrates. Ammonia=0, Nitrite=0, Nitrate=20-25ppm range. I have had nitrate spikes in the past, but since I traded in the swordtails this is the better part of the...

BTW, What's it like living in Japan? I want to travel there one day because I love their culture and art styles. Are you Japanese, or do you have family there? Sorry if I'm being nosey, but I love to hear about other coutries.

I'm glad to read that there are many people here who atleast consider the needs and happiness of fish of all kinds. It is a great misfortune that that one species on this planet that has the ability to say it is the most intelligent is often the one species that has a lack of common sense...

It's a shame. This country should not be so passive towards crimes like these, I've been seeing alot of that here in florida. Some of these people are lucky they don't live in another country where the penalties are much worse for something like this. Why can't people get it? These people will...

I think I'd have a big grouper, maybe a pair of green morays, and a lovely reef sytem teaming with colorful life and fish...Kidding of course. That would be biting off more than I could chew. LOL :hang:

Wow, imagine being asleep inside that seed all this time... Personally, I wouldn't mind going back to the days of herbal medicine. The drugs and treatments we take today are becoming quite scary. I think natural medicines would be much better for the human body, after all it is a machine...

Hey, long time, no see! That's interesting you should mention writing a novel, I am also. It will definitely take a good bit of time to get things right. What subject or premise is the novel about? P.S. Mine is science fiction genre. Oh, while you were gone I managed to update the lighting to...

BTW, I think the danios are competing for the loaches' food. Help?

I appreciate your opinion. In fact I have experience in this all too common problem. We had a common pleco in our pond, we bought it at about 1in long. No one told us how large it would become. Eventually I tried to move it to a 55gal tank, but within a few weeks, it could barely turn around in...

I traded in my swordtails in for 4 kuhli loaches about two days ago, along with their own food BTW. They are the banded variety, and are fairly small, maybe captive raised? One of them is a little bigger. They're like eels, without all the work. They are already growing on me, they almost remind...

I'm another person glad to hear that in the testing the animals are taken care of. Biologists get into their line of work because they love the animals they study. I also have a neighbor who was given a few test animals when they were no longer needed in the research. She gave a mouse who had...

Was wondering. 1.Just how difficult would it be to keep a nano-reef tank, 5-10 gallons, with small fish like gobies? 2.What else would be reasonable to stock along with the gobies? 3.Are there stocking limits for nano-reefs? 4.Are nano-reefs expensive? Some other questions I've been...
