    How do you catch FW fish over 12 inches to Transfer?

    Thanks for this bag idea, it worked great to catch my 16" pleco. We've been brainstorming various methods that all seem ridiculous now. It was easy.

    odd fish behavior - angel and rainbow ladies

    It's been awhile, but I'm sure the rainbow that died was the more colorful one, which would be the male, right? This one is sure showing her best colors now though. I don't know what prompted this change of attitude. I suppose I could add another rainbow, though I like the angels better. Maybe a...

    odd fish behavior - angel and rainbow ladies

    I had a pair of angels and a pair of rainbows for quite awhile with no issues. Both males have died. Lately, the female rainbow has been ... well, take a look. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jpFlTOlly5c&feature=youtu.be This goes on constantly now. I don't know if it's aggression, or some kind...

    tumor? parasite?

    Now almost 2 months later, a follow up on my poor fish... he died last night. The lump finally cracked the skin, which turned red and that's when the fish started to slow down. I did an autopsy so see what the lump was. Definitely not a parasite, and not an accumulation of blood. It looked like...

    tumor? parasite?

    I looked up caudal/peduncle disease and that seems to be "fin rot" which I'm sure this isn't. The skin has been perfect, although it is showing stress now from the bulging.

    tumor? parasite?

    Hematoma sounds right, now that I've looked that up. So that would be a broken blood vessel, and I can hope that it seals up by itself and the blood gets reabsorbed. Otherwise I suppose it will eventually break the skin and cause infection. Glad to hear it doesn't look like a parasite - that...

    tumor? parasite?

    My albino redfin shark has something at the base of his tale. I first noticed a dark spot there about 6 months ago. Now it is the size of a kidney bean and bulges out on both sides. It doesn't seem to bother him. Since he is so translucent, I can see that it is very solid and dark, so it doesn't...

    Dwarf lily habits.

    Here are two pics I just posted of my lily flowering for the first time. http://www.aquariacentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=135151&page=3 Mine doesn't lose it's leaves until they finally get old and decay. It would cover the surface of the tank with leaves if I let it. But it is now several...

    Post Pictures of your Plants 2.0

    Here's a closeup. The plant is several years old, but has never bloomed before. It sends large (7") leaves to the surface, so the view from the front is mostly stems, and I considered ripping it out last month. Glad I didn't!

    java fern and java moss

    Thanks, John, and everyone else. The tank looks a lot better now with some open space. I have more full size java ferns with leaves up to 8" long. About 20 leaves for $16, that includes shipping. If there are no more takers, I'll trade them at the local store. thanks, Kathy

    The java moss is sold, but I still have java ferns. You know you want some. :drool:

    java fern and java moss

    Time to thin out the tank. I have maybe 3 clumps of java moss this size (that is a 9" vase, not a water glass). And 3 clumps of full-grown java fern like this. Also lots of medium size java fern. $10 each batch (as pictured), which includes US postage. Paypal preferred. These are from a tank...

    Siamese Algae Eater (SAE) questions

    True, I don't like to keep single fish and wonder if he'd be happier in someone else's tank. I have a Congo Tetra with the same issue, he's widowed, but he's so beautiful I hate to part with him, and don't have room for more Congos. It's a dilemma. I should qualify my comments about this SAE's...

    Siamese Algae Eater (SAE) questions

    He's at least 5 inches, so I hope he has quit growing. Here's a bad pic. Looks like an SAE to me.

    Siamese Algae Eater (SAE) questions

    I have one 6 inch SAE in my 55 gal and I can't image having more than that. He's the dominator of the tank and sometimes chases the other fish around the tank at full speed. He's so possessive of food that he would rather chase everyone away from food than eat it. I was just watching him trying...

    Pearl Gourami with gray patches

    Just a follow up that I did add Stress Coat and Melafix, and the spot on his head healed up. The scuffs are gone too. Don't know if the additives actually helped or maybe just "time heals all wounds."

    Yup, I'm in Eugene and I did sell some plants on Craig's list awhile back. Darn things just keep growing. Are you here in town?
