    Which is better, a bag or a bucket?

    I don't have either of those things. Since we didn't even know we were moving until about 4 days ago, I'm going with the "whatever I have around the house" method of packing my fishies, so that leaves the above two options :P

    Feeding Sultan and Flash Plecos

    My boyfriend got a carrot to sink once. Boy did I ever have a start when I was wondering what all that orange debris was at the bottom of my tank.

    Which is better, a bag or a bucket?

    They're not being shipped, we're going by car instead of plane this time.

    Which is better, a bag or a bucket?

    We're playing the moving cross country game again, except this time we're driving. I was thinking about my options for my fish, initially I was just going to bag them up and box them as if I were shipping them, but then I got an idea. They'd have more air and more water if I just put them in a...

    Why Do People Have Fish Rooms Rather Than Tanks in Regular Rooms?

    Most people that I've met with fish rooms also have fish in other places like the living room. Just need more space for everyone else.

    How much water do you change?

    Before I moved I had 3 tanks and I did one 80% and several 50% changes per week on each. It's harder to do water changes in my new apartment and I get yelled at about the water bill so now just one 80% change. There's a real difference, you can tell that it's not as clean with less changes.

    Salt dip

    It actually wouldn't effect ich, or like khemul says, any other internal parasites. Salted water helps with ich only in the stage when the parasites drop out of the fish to multiply, so to eradicate ich with salt you need to treat the entire tank for a few weeks. I wouldn't do a salt dip as an...

    Poor Goldies at the fair.

    Chickens can suffer too! You should hear mine in the morning before I've had a chance to feed them :headshake2:

    Red Eyed Tetras

    Mine sit still only if you aren't watching them. Once they see you, they start zipping around the tank.

    Quikrete HardScapes Playsand

    I went onto their website too, because it says to go on for more info about the product, also didn't say anything about aquariums there. The fish seem happier, but that could be because I also got them some clay pots.

    Quikrete HardScapes Playsand

    Lol! Well I wanted to make sure there were no chemicals in it. I'd rather have some sand in my mouth than sick fish.

    Quikrete HardScapes Playsand

    It doesn't say not for aquariums on the package, it only says not for commercial use. Thanks for the input guys! I tasted it, it tastes fine, washed it a little more than I normally do and put it in. Seems to be ok, fish are acting normal, colored normal. I'll keep a close eye on them, if...

    Quikrete HardScapes Playsand

    Quikrete is the brand of play sand that I usually buy for my tanks. I did not however know that they make more than one type, so when I googled where to find and went to buy a bag I was surprised to see this sand that doesn't look at all like what I've used before. Has anyone used the hardscapes...

    Invoking the AC hivemind - overstocked?

    Same for me, I had a 10g with a few fish and some shrimp. Started seeing sooooo many snails. Cut down on my feedings, everyone was fine but the snail population went down to 3-4 from at least 100.

    Ooh, I see. I hope you can get some pics some day, they'd be cool to see!

    "Freshwater" Flounder

    It's only a good idea in theory. This is the place where the lady looked at me like I had 5 heads when I asked if they sold driftwood.
