Unless you are teetering on the edge of having enough oxygen in the tank to support the fish, which, from the video’s I saw you are not, there is nothing to worry about. Yes, live plants will take in O2 at night and release CO2 in turn, it is not normally enough to upset the […]
I skipped over DebR’s question earlier this morning (what the heck am I doing getting up at 4 AM when I can sleep late?). Algae is a primitive plant, probably the most primitive we are likely to see up close and personal. It is often the first plant to grow in aquaria, even if we […]
From what I’ve read on algae build up (as long as it’s the good algae build up which is greenish/brown) any amount of it is good, as it does the same thing your live plants would do when they clean the water by removing fish waste and all that. My betta […]
All the reports from the various suppliers around here will at least reference the use of chloramines, if not show an actual average measurement.

I’ve been wondering why you have been waiting for the water people to reply.. The company or town department that supplies the water should have a web site, and on that web site should be the latest report available for public consumption that will tell you whether chloramines are used and a lot of other […]
The breeding stars or breeding tubercles are little white bumps on the gill covers and on the leading edges of the pectoral fins. Bumps anywhere else on the fish need to be diagnosed.
The glitter look… what color is it?… could just be the natural reflection of a healthy fish or worse case, it could […]
Hi Grey, Good to see your postings again, but not necessarily under these circumstances. While I’ve never seen anything quite like this on Angelfish, mainly as these abnormalities are rare, I have seen similar parasite-caused cysts caused by a trematatode (Clinostomum complanatum and/or C. marginatum) mostly in wild fish […]
\Steve// that brings me back.

and that’s drive into a landfill wherever you are, just drive in, get out of your car, and throw a CFL into the landfill. And drive out. You know, if one person, just one person does it […]
Gosh, I don’t even know if we have anyone to cleanup mercury here in my town in Alaska. I’ve always just thrown the broken CFL bulbs in the garbage, I didn’t know any better since they don’t tell us much up here in Alaska, LOL. They need to have something at the […]
