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 & […]
Many of the PetsMart fish are the bottom of the barrel fish from breeders since PetsMart wants the best/lowest prices on what they buy. Most breeders will keep the best fish for themselves, the next best would go to their closest friends who are also breeders, then to their local customers, aquarium societies, LFS […]
I used a scoop to remove the eco-complete. Job not perfect, but I got down to using a rag to get the last parts, my thoughts was I wanted to get as much out, like rinsing the gravel to get the dirt out.. Did not have a wet dry vac, and did not […]
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 […]
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.

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 […]
He most likely is stunted right now, but many catfish live long lives and many grow slow so if they are moved to a proper sized tank, they could start growing again. Unfortunately, I just peeked at my own article on fish lifespans and according to my research, “How Long Should Your Fish Live” […]
He was at the ACA a couple years ago. I missed many of the talks that year, something about alcohol I am told.

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 […]
LOL@”the incredible mr.”… darn.. I think I just showed my age.
The little flat heaters for small tanks do NOT have thermostats. From what I’ve read on them in the past, they’ll heat up the water up to 4F over the ambient temp in a certain sized tank… I forget the actual size. But […]
