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 […]
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 […]
Sounds like I need to move to the ‘dirty’ south as you so put it Lenny We have had intermittent rain in between snow so there’s now ice under snow and more snow is coming down. There is easily 3 1/2 to 4 feet of snow out there, and much more […]
Hmmmm.. that sounds like a cooler pack, rather than a heater pack. Are you in the frigid north or down here in the dirty south, where it’s 73F outside right now? I don’t even remember where DFS is located off the top of my head but I suspect they are up north. […]
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 […]
The 3 to 5 drops per gallon guideline to bring the ammonia up to 3-5ppm, seems to work in your case.. with the 5 drops per gallon being the max to bring it to 5ppm.. 4 drops per gallon would give you 4ppm. If the initial 6 drops in 12G brought it up to […]
Be careful of advise from your LFS… if they don’t even know what’s in your local water… or maybe you just got an ill-informed employee.
This thread has been trimmed too much but if I remember right, your FW tanks had a pH of 7.2… right? If your 48 hour baseline is only coming […]
Or perhaps the blue moonlight LEDs. I think they would really set the tank off at night…

Alright, from this we can gather that this is definitely no marking or color pattern indication of any sort. It would appear to be a wound, probably suffered when the fish ran into an unexpected foreign object (plastic rock or plant) you recently placed in the tank — not that […]
