Thanks for your response. I know they are hard to maintain. I have kept many aquariums for years. Space wise, I think it works best for me. It’s 30 gallons, 5 feet high. It has a Biowheel filtration system. tight fitting top. Heater and I’m going to add another bubbler in addition to the circulation […]
I snipped this because I’m only replying to tbe betta portion due to not having much to offer on the other questions Some info on the tanks would be great - what size, are they heated/filtered, how often is the water changed… Bettas are not the speediest of fish, but not moving at all […]
I recently obtained an Oscar. I have been told many things on how much and what he should eat. From “feed him every 2-3 days and only insects, worms, or pellets” to “feed him live goldfish or minnows twice a day” to “put half a dowzen or more feeder fish (golds or […]
Dear Don, Lorraine and Ramil,
Thank you so much for your input! I have given my partner copies of your advice and will wait a week or two before broaching the subject again, but thanks to your interventions I think it’ll be easier to convince him of the wisdom of the no-stone […]
I am using Ehfisubstrate in both trays. In the top tray there are also a handful of ceramic rings mixed in. Bayshore water is a little on the hard side but usually never changes. I have a fire station on the next road so the are constantly opening up the hydrants to […]
Does running an Eheim 2227 wet/dry on a fresh water tank lower the ph of the tank. All my tanks always have a ph of 7.2-7.4 . Bay Shore tap water is the same. The only changes I have made to my main 55g is to add […]
Thanks everyone for your help! I am going to go forth and try it.
Let me explain in detail what I plan on doing. I have several fishtanks:
(2) 55 gallon (3) 20 gallons (3) 10 gallons. Along with the smaller tanks I was given H.O.T filters and accessories. The 55 gallon is my established […]
Hello All, I was given a plant and it has leeches on it. I have a quarantine kiddie pool set up that I put new plants in. There is a bubbler in there, for 3 baby comets to keep the mosquito population down. The problem is one leeches ewww, how do […]
I will go along with your comments here. Feeding less than once per day is something that I only do when I see my water temp has dropped under 50 degrees or is over 90 degrees.
Ususly with my water temp between 68 degrees and 75 degrees I will feed 3 or […]
Steve,
I just wanted to clarify that I didn’t suggest aeration from the bottom of the pond but rather a floating surface bubbler so it doesn’t cause any actual movement in the total pond volume so the thermoclines stay uniform. It just relies on the warm air from the pump rather than a coil heater.
I’ve also […]
