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 […]
I witnessed my first attempted Synodontis Multipunctatus spawn yesterday, what a surprise!
My Pseudotropheus Demasoni (cichlids) were spawning on the in-tank background near the top when the catfish became interested. The cichlids use the background because the catfish wont leave them alone on horizontal surfaces, LOL. In spite of that I have plenty of […]
…. would that make you a drug dealer? Just imagine the look on the DEA agents faces when their “big bust” results in two people exchanging a bottle of Viagara for some Jungle medicated fish food and an API Master Test Kit. LOL
i can just picture it !!! but i don’t need the API master […]
How do I explain that in prison LOL!

Maybe you need to hook up with someone down here. Americans are constantly going up to Canada to get various human meds that are cheaper up there due to the Canadian gov’ment subsidies and you need to come down here for fish meds that are cheaper down here because the Canadian gov’ment overtaxes them […]
