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 […]

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 […]

Wen surgery, which is only needed in rare situations, while it can be done by the hobbyist, is best left to a veterinarian or at least a hobbyist with experience. You wouldn’t have to worry about the fish wiggling since it would be under anesthesia (usually clove oil solution for the hobbyist). Do […]

Major disappointment! No change at all to my tank water. 4 ppm ammonia and 0 ppm nitrates!
Well, my test may indeed have been flawed. Adding fish would not have shot the ammonia up to 4ppm and that might have had an adverse effect on the bacteria. I might have gotten a […]

No, I did not buy the product from him. He sells cycle though. He just does not believe in instant fish ready, I could tell. I can not wait to see how much all my readings are in the morning. I knew that I only needed one or the other. […]

Monday Update (Day 19 of reduced salt; 35 total)
Saturday: - 5G PWC started at 1:30pm, had a plumbing emergency and couldn’t replace water until 5pm (5tsp salt, .5ml Prime, SafeStart) - Got tired of waiting for tank to cycle and figured the biomax in the filter could not have done […]

Well, today I added 4 parts per million ammonia to a 12 gal. tank. Then I added Dr. Tim’s one and only to the tank and filter.
Tomorrow mourning I plan to test the ammonia, nitrites, and nitrates to see if I have a fully cycled tank or not.
Has anyone else done this? I […]
