    Green and whites tree frogs compatible?

    To be fair, 'Green Tree Frog' is a fairly common trade name for Litoria caerulea. Sometimes the qualifier 'Australian' is added. But yeah, like Vicious said, Hyla cinerea will end up in your big frog's belly. At $6-10 a pop, those are some pricey feeders.

    Green Anaconda tank

    I beg to differ, Darkness. Many, perhaps most, zoos have to turn away dozens of giant snake offers every year. 116, please think through the long-term consequences of having this animal. To answer your original question, smaller fish are probably the only ones who will survive your...

    Almost forgot- if it is a bullhead, you are more likely to get a positive ID if you post at http://forum.nanfa.org.

    ID this catfish for me please!

    It's not a white or a yellow, and I'm pretty sure it's not a flat. He will grow pretty fast, depending of course on how much you feed him. Year-old fish of the larger species are generally 6-10" in length.

    IsFlexible PVC safe for fish?

    Krylon Fusion for Plastics is tank-safe. You can also use interior-grade latex house paint or acrylic artists' paint.

    ID this catfish for me please!

    Looks a bit like a juvenile bullhead. Is the caudal fin sort of squarish?

    IsFlexible PVC safe for fish?

    Not sure. Flex PVC is not rated safe for potable water, so ordinarily that would mean it is not safe for aquaria. However, this site claims this is merely due to the plasticky flavor it imparts to the water, which does not involve any toxins. I would play it safe and use something else...

    HELP!

    I have kept two-lineds in both aquatic and moist terrestrial setups. I fed flightless fruit flies and occasionally day-old crickets in the terrestrial setup, juvenile scuds and mosquito larvae in the aquatic setup. I found two-lineds to be subject to fungal infections. As noted they are not...

    So, I was thinking of getting a pond... what do I need to do?

    Remember, no one ever says, "I wish I'd gotten a smaller pond!" Get a pond that is appropriate for the space in which it will be. A 30 gallon in the middle of a yard will look tiny. Also, just like tanks, smaller ponds are subject to more rapid fluctuation in water quality, with the added...

    OK, since I am here and onto "controversial" subjects ...

    There was no noticeable smell or discoloration. It was a fairly small amount of urea compared to the size of the tank. I was using the tank as an algae farm for some tadpoles I was raising. I can't say for sure what, if any, the effect of the urea was, but algal growth was satisfactory.

    Identify this fish?

    Folks here just use a length of frayed nylon rope; pull it by the fish, and he will bite at it (probably more in annoyance than as a feeding response). If he closes his jaws on the rope his teeth will become entangled in it. Bowfishing for gar is also popular. They're supposed to be pretty...
