I have lost a number of adult mystery snails to the intake filter. I have a fluval canister on the tank that this happened to and I had to put a sponge pre filter on it to avoid this problem. Pam

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 […]
Orandas, Ryukins or any other round-bodied goldfish (fancy goldfish) will be OK with two of them in a 55G as long as there is weekly tank maintenance done.
Long-bodied goldfish like Comets, Commons, Shubunkins, Wakins, Jikins (and any other newer long-bodied varieties that may have popped up from cross-breeding) need REALLY BIG TANKS or preferably should […]
Looks like she’s cleaning the tanks from what she stated, but not sure how often.. My husband had to put his foot down and tell me no more fish, so I can understand where you’re coming from (only in reversed roles). Just explain that you’re tired of doing all the work to […]
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 can not get my husband to stop buying fish. If he sees a new kind at Wal-mart or the lfs he buys it. Right now we have a 10 gal with 2 blue gouramis, 2 black skirt tetras, 2 black phantom tetras, 2 pictus cats, 2 australian rainbows, 2 hatchet fish, […]
Yeah this is the worst winter I’ve seen since I was a kid, and I dont’ think that one was even that bad. So it’s been easily 15-20 years since we’ve had this much snow, especially all at once. I’m so ready for the rain to come back, at least I can […]
Sounds like I need to move to the ‘dirty’ south as you so put it Lenny We have had intermittent rain in between snow so there’s now ice under snow and more snow is coming down. There is easily 3 1/2 to 4 feet of snow out there, and much more […]
Hmmmm.. that sounds like a cooler pack, rather than a heater pack. Are you in the frigid north or down here in the dirty south, where it’s 73F outside right now? I don’t even remember where DFS is located off the top of my head but I suspect they are up north. […]
