Hi Sam,
There is no “rule”, whether it’s 1″ per gallon or 2 gallons per fish that works… except for slim-bodied fish that stay under 3″ as full grown adults. For example, a 10″ Oscar certainly can’t be kept in 2 gallons of water, nor will 10 gallons of water be sufficient…. more like […]
What kind of fish are breeding? Some fish are egg scatterers and leave things to nature, others lay their eggs in nest area and guard them and then of course, there are live bearers.
How big is the breeding tank?
If you want maximum survivability of the spawn, it’s probably best to have the spawners by […]
Oh, I thought a power head was different than a power filter.
So then why wouldn’t you remove the UGF entirely?

Hello Colleen. I can’t advise you about pumps because I don’t know enough, but I can tell you that my new Matala Pond Vac, purchased this spring, is probably the most useful purchase I’ve made this year. I’m attaching a link which will tell you more about it, although you’ll […]
In a 40G, you could go with one of the dwarf pleco’s… a bristlenosed pleco or clown pleco which both stay under 6″ would work in a 40G and you would only need one. You will also have to supplement their diet with a algae thin every couple of days after lights out so […]

Oh dear, I accidentally killed mine. Took some of the decorations out of the tank to clean and he was hiding in a ship. I felt awful! I had him about a month and he was a busy little bugger, he was about 3 inches long when I got him and I […]
A few weeks back, I posted about my sick tank. After losing 2 angels, an albino rainbow shark and a platty the tank seemed to settle down. All levels (ammonia, nitrates and nitrites) tested at zero, even when everything was dying. After no deaths for several weeks, I purchased 4 zebra danios […]
Although my koi are back feeding again, I think the pond PH is still very low (acid). I’ve put some limestone in the pond, but that doesn’t seem to be making a lot of difference as far as I can tell. Is there any thing else I can use? Also how much would I need […]
