thanks for the info, I was wondering why I couldent find them (plus I moved home to tennessee where the aquaria selection in stores sucks). would you be willing to sell 1 or 2 dest? thanks Laura

preferably in fun colors but anything is ok... NOT apple snails or the 'hitchikers' that end up everywhere please. I can pay with paypal. thanks Laura

Im flying and I cant take them on the plane with me so Im going to send them ahead (my parents are home, even if my mom doesnt understand why I compare my love of the fish to the dog or cat!). they will be going from michigan to tennessee and depending on how hot its going to be down there I...

Ive never shipped fish before but I need to get them home from school (800 miles) in the next week to week and a half. so my question is this: whats the best way to do it? I bought special bags from my LFS with lots of space for air, but NOONE has insulated boxes for sale. I checked...

so then whats the best way? someone mentioned freezing once, I dont have any of that oil (Im not sure what its for anyway), or would holding him out of water just do the job quickly enough? thoughts?

I know this is a touchy subject so let me first tell yall that I am not taking this issue lightly... I have a guppy who had fin rot. he origionally had long fins of about an inch to an inch and a half. medicating slowed the process but did not stop it entirely, and he has no tail anymore...

I just reach in and pull them off... theyre about the consistancy of snot (I worked with children) and stick together.

my parameters are: nitrate 40 ppm (not great but on its way down) nitrite 0 ppm KH 162 ppm GH 145 ppm total alkalinity 180 ppm pH 7.2 Its a 12g planted nano tank. The ony recent change in the tank was that I was out of town for 9 days last week. I hooked a timer up to the light and...

so it looks like definate clamped fin in 1 fish and possible finrot in 2 or 3 others. whats the best way to treat them? should I quarantine? how could they have contracted it? thanks Laura

the only thing in my fry tank are young guppy fry, the occassional pregnant mother, 'speedy' the ramshorn snail, and common pond snails that hitchiked in on my java moss. it is 2 or 2.5 gallons (I cant remember), hexagon, acrylic, with an air stone. :huh: is it possible that speedy did it...

do the eggs slow a shrimp down? I came back from class to find my ramshorn snail (aptly named speedy) having 'shrimp cocktail'. horrified I immediately moved the 1 remaining shrimp from the fry tank to the 12g where he and his companion shrimp are flourishing. the irony is that the number of...

got it today, thanks!

questions: (probably for beviking since he is omnipresent! hehe) I think one of my cherries is carrying eggs. does that mean they have already been fertilized and Ill have shrimpies (aka baby shrimp) or does a shrimp carry unfertilized eggs and hope there is a boy shrimp around? about how...

if they're only about an inch then you probably have juviniles. they wont get too much bigger, maybe another half an inch at most. :) enjoy them! they are pretty!

anyone? *aka bump*

Ill be gone for a week and was wondering if anyone recommended any feeders for the guppies. also, should I leave the filter (biowheel) on all the time or should I timer it like the lights? if I leave it on all the time will it suck up all the food? will my snails and algae eaters eat it all...
