Thanks Lenny, I will definitely let you know how long he makes it. As far as I can tell he’s healthy, just mad about his tank size, he thumps the other fish with his tail and either eats them or leaves them to die if he doesn’t like them, bad fishy […]
He most likely is stunted right now, but many catfish live long lives and many grow slow so if they are moved to a proper sized tank, they could start growing again. Unfortunately, I just peeked at my own article on fish lifespans and according to my research, “How Long Should Your Fish Live” […]
Hi Lenny I’m back….. I’m the one that had to move and find a home for my 5 young ones. 2 Orandas, 2 ryukin and I koi. I am now living in Union, KY.. Much better then Houston. Miss Texas, but NOT Houston.
I have partly […]
It’s the bacteria in solution that I was concerned about. How long does it take for it to get a good foothold in the gravel and biomax?
I’ll go check and see if the extra tip will stay put on the end of the […]
I think something was wrong with that snail… if it actually got stuck on the intake.. or maybe it was just trying to clean the inside of the strainer and got part of it’s foot caught.. like getting a finger caught in a crack and then it started to panic and got sick as a […]
A dumb question here? Getting ready to use this stuff myself and wonder about one small detail? You put this stuff into the new aquarium immediately and then the fish. Would it not be better and do a faster job with this bacteria dumping it directly into the filter box itself? Bill
Next time just drop the filter media in the tank. It’s not the best thing but will be OK for a few hours.. especially if you have an airstone and put the filter media over/around the air stone so it gets water circulation. The other thing you can do is make sure your filter […]

DOSAGE: 19.2 grams makes 1 pint. Five drops of this stock solution per gallon of aquarium water will treat […]

The tubing that comes with the filter is pretty thick, so they probably had the standard tubing that came with it, unless for some reason they wanted even thicker tubing (not sure why someone would). The tubing on the filter is fairly stiff, not made to bend very easily, not sure about […]
