I would have no problems selling the young angel’s (or any young fish I happen to breed if he wants them) to the LFS. I think there would be a better market in gourami’s or pleco’s (especially the dwarf pleco’s as they only order the sailfin pleco’s) though, as neither arrive here […]

Well it arrived today! 12 gallon tank, can not overdose, I added what it says for 20 gallon.
I also own Dr. Tim, aka tinyfish, aka that masked man, another thank-you. Not only did he send a bigger bottle than I purchased, but he also sent along his stress relief that is a declor & […]

Yep! As your Googling successfully turned up (and as Lenny adds to), ACA does indeed stand for American Cichlid Association and with it, BOT abbreviates Board of Trustees. I regret any confusion in these references; I had just assumed (wrongly) that most hobbyists might have known of their existence […]

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 […]

Couple of additional questions
1) you wrote you “removed the Eco-complete” can you explain that more. Was there still some in the tank? I reason I ask is that you are the second person in two days to mention eco-complete in a tank that had high ammonia even with One & Only.
I looked up […]

Oh, the over-sudsing thing happened a couple of years ago while my son was home on vacation. We finally got enough of the Dawn out by refilling the hole in the door with hot water and then soaking it out with paper towels over and over […]

The only reason I am hesitant to breed anything more than simple guppies is because my LFS (well the owner rather) is rather… umm… profit orientated only, which means for me to sell any of my babies to him I would have to basically beat his wholesalers prices. Not to mention I […]

It occurs to me that maybe someone has already been able to find info on water processing for the Detroit water system. My baseline tests show ammonia after 24 hours, which kind of tells me that Detroit uses ammonia/ammonium to make chloramines. Has anyone got info from the […]
