i added an air stone to my fish tank to get more water movement you should see the bigger oranda playing in the bubbles LOLOL finally found fine particle filters that i can modify to fit my aqua clear, can’t find any for the aqua clear, these ones i can cut so it will give […]
Remind us how long you have been cycling with fish? You mention four guppies and a cory… is that what you have left now? Did you allow the ammonia/nitrites to get too high at some point that caused the fish deaths or do you know if there was some other issue that caused […]
Thats probably about right on the bristles. The albinos are easier to sex as the males have a pink spot behind their heads. Not sure if mine are big enough to see it though. I don’t remember when you can see it. Personally if anyone wants to get some from me, I’m not sexing […]
I got a BN pleco as lagniappe with my first Cherry Shrimp order from a private seller online. The Cherry Shrimp and he did fine in the two day shipping process but I think they shipped the little guy too early in his life… he was only about 1/2″ long… but I thought he […]

OK. So your plan is working. I’m not sure about the capful process unless you previously knew this to be an accurate measurement for that volume tank… but I’m glad it only raised it to 4ppm. What you should do now is monitor the ammonia each day and bring it back up […]
OK. For future reference, when we refer to an LFS (Local Fish Store), we mean a privately owned specialized fish store where the owner and employees are a little more likely (but not definitely) to know what they are talking about. While there are going to occasionally be knowledgeable fish people at […]
Using the one online (I did not know they had an online color comparator) would imply that your monitor has been color corrected so you see the true color to ensure your match is accurate?

Wow… whoever had the tank before you really falls for advertising. Tell them I have some beautiful water front swampland down here that I’m selling.
The Aqua Plus is OK to finish using as a dechlor product. Once you run out, get a simple dechlor product like API or Top Fin… without all […]
