Some breeders/exporters will only sell the male species of fish/critters as a way of trying to hold a semi-monopoly on a species. This was tried with the Red Cherry Shrimp but enough females have been imported into the USA that there many breeders/sellers now. The male of a species are usually the “prettiest” […]

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 […]

Read my recent post about cleaning driftwood.. hint: use your dishwasher for sterilizing things that can be submerged.

Hi Dewdude; I don’t know how long you’ve had your fish, but they are just like any other animal. They may be too young yet, or they may just not be “comfortable” in your tank set up to be thinking about sex. You didn’t mention how large the tank was and […]

What, no mention of willow bark?

First, a brackish water tank will naturally have a higher pH than your other tanks simply by the nature of the water. You do not say how you are making the water brackish, the specific gravity of the water in your brackish tank is OK. You should use a good quality marine salt, as you […]

I started a brackish water tank with a 3/4″ bumblebee goby and a 1.5″ male guppy. They are in a 10 gallon tank. It has a small rock cave and a couple of plastic plants and a 5″ long piece of black rigid tube from an old canister filter (use as a […]

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 […]
