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 […]
We were at Pets Mart today for plants and had a look at the Goldfish section ….. I noticed some of the Orandas did NOT have the WEN and some that were the same size did. DI they all get it and is it a problem for all of them..
Also how long does […]
The gravel should be in the tank with the fish and filtration… unless the “another tank” refers to another fish stocked tank. The nitrifying bacteria needs the ammonia from the fish and decaying detritus as the starting food for the nitrogen cycle.
Technically, used gravel right out of a running tank and then put in […]

However, the dishwasher does not remove algae.so scrubbing is still required.

Rubber band the brim onto a foot ball or something similar shaped (round) and leave it sit, that’ll bend the brim back without having to hand bend it (and get frustrated when it bends back outward, LOL). Amber
