Hopefully you’re not buying the foot long gourami I would not recommend adding one, some of them are more aggressive than others (gourami’s) but that doesn’t mean he or she will be able to hold thier own against the oscar or the dempsey. Right now your tank is very […]
Also just because they are smaller than they’re eventual size most cichlids will grow pretty fast if you keep their tank well cleaned and feed them very well. For instance I’ve had a Severum (which can easily get 10 inches long, not to mention how wide) for almost 3 months now and […]
Wednesday Check in (Day 21 reduced salt; 37 total)
- pH: 7.4; Ammonia: .25ppm; Nitrite: .25ppm; Nitrate: almost 40ppm (The Nitrite seems to want to stay at .25, but it does read 0 for tap water and the Nitrates are rising so I’m going to trust the .25 reading. […]
Well.. it sounds like you may need a mallet (or maybe even a sledge hammer) to do them V-8 smacks on his forehead. Print out my long initial reply explaining about proper tank sizes and water volumes needed for the various fish and make him read it and follow it. I know you […]
The method that you level would depend on the stand. If it has legs and you do not need much raise I would think you could place a piece of wood directly under the leg, or you could get something at the hardware store that you could raise and lower via a nut and […]

Thanks Lenny, I will definitely let you know how long he makes it. As far as I can tell he’s healthy, just mad about his tank size, he thumps the other fish with his tail and either eats them or leaves them to die if he doesn’t like them, bad fishy […]
A question on pictus catfish. I’m going to rescue my parent’s pictus catfish out of their (yes I know it’s awful) 20 gallon tank. Good news is that he has only a few tank mates, but the really bad part of it is that he has been in that tank for easily […]
Two things you can do.. well three actually… one of them V-8 smacks on the forehead might work… or divorce will definitely work… and a third option is to do an O.J. on him and collect the insurance and buy a BIG tank… but the V-8 smack and divorce are less painful.. at least to […]
I once asked a customer service agent at drsfostersmith.com to put in added padding in the light fixture they kept sending me, well the next one I got was shipped the same as the others, and of course every one of them was broken when it got here. Speaking of, I still […]
