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 […]
Yes Lenny that is what it looks like. It mostly happens to the larger snails. It is probably like mentioned, the bigger foot making it have more of a suction and the snails being sucked in. I have had to pull the snail (shredded) out of the intake. Not nice believe me. […]
Hopefully you’re not buying the foot long gourami I would not recommend adding one, some of them are more aggressive than others (gourami’s) but that doesn’t mean he or she will be able to hold thier own against the oscar or the dempsey. Right now your tank is very […]
Also just because they are smaller than they’re eventual size most cichlids will grow pretty fast if you keep their tank well cleaned and feed them very well. For instance I’ve had a Severum (which can easily get 10 inches long, not to mention how wide) for almost 3 months now and […]
I currently have a 55 gallon tank with a 5 inch Oscar and a 4 inch Jack Dempsey. The two fish get along very well, although I am aware that I will need a bigger tank soon. While at the small downtown fish store the other day my husband fell in love with the giant […]
Hmmm… is this what the intake looks like on yours? http://pet.imageg.net/graphics/product_images/pPETS-4723208t400.jpg
With that kind of strainer, which is very similar to the strainers on most other filter systems, I don’t see how it’s happening. I just did a Google search and do not see where it’s very common either.
Applesnail.net “Discussion” section (forums) are the best […]
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 […]
Looks like she’s cleaning the tanks from what she stated, but not sure how often.. My husband had to put his foot down and tell me no more fish, so I can understand where you’re coming from (only in reversed roles). Just explain that you’re tired of doing all the work to […]
Ray,
He is one and the same person. He used to do quite a bit of speaking at conventions and such for fish folk, but I do not know if he still does. I have not heard of him being on the east Coast in quite some time.

Yeah this is the worst winter I’ve seen since I was a kid, and I dont’ think that one was even that bad. So it’s been easily 15-20 years since we’ve had this much snow, especially all at once. I’m so ready for the rain to come back, at least I can […]
