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 […]
Good subject - I need help here also. I know with ponds “if you build it, they will come” concerning frogs/toads. However, this is ridiculous. I bought this house with this pond and I LOVE IT. The first year was a learning experience. Since I moved in, I have lost 3 of my prettiest largest […]

Dora, An often overlooked (or unknown by the hobbyist) facet of the maintenance of aquarium filters, their materials and the substrate of the tank concerning the autotrophic nitrifying bacteria you refer to, and the “gunk” (mulm) — or more properly “sludge” as its found as a more compacted “yellow gook” […]
Hi Don. I couldn’t figure out where you’d gotten to when I first posted the problem and didn’t hear back from you. I thought you were away on vacation or something. Anyway, I’ll look for the gel medication, but I have one important question. How does one sedate […]
Hi Brenda, Sorry to hear your having problems with one of your koi. Have had some computer hard drive problems and I now have more than 2500 email messages unread. Had a hard drive go bad on me that I replaced with a new one. The new hard drive gave up the […]
