I think you better make comments here buddy! Ray, I can tell you this much as simply as I possibility can. It may be possible to install your current OS onto a new machine BUT—-it is not to likely. The Reason behind this is simple. Years ago when you bought a computer it came with […]
I was at the pet store where I work part time when one of the guys told me to check out what was in the “feeder” guppy tank. We are pretty sure that they are yellow finned borleyi. I hope to get some good or at least ok pictures soon. I got 6 […]
Hello all,
I’m not overly concerned with the long term growth of the Black Ghost Knife, Plecostomus (just 1) or the Clown Loaches at this point. I have another 55 gallon tank (and a 30 gallon tank) sitting empty right now, awaiting the investment for stands, filtration, pumps, etc. By the time […]
Hi Steve and all,
That’s a Black Ghost Knife. He’s(?) one of the few that seems to be thriving. The Goruamis are looking a little ‘rough,” as if they were losing scales somehow.
I’ll stop chasing the pH and see what happens.
Good catch, Steve. Gregg did mention both Black Ghost and Ghost Knife fish in two different posts. Besides the species you brought up, there is also a member of the weakly electric Gymnotid Eels (Gymnotidae) to consider, more specifically Hypopomus occidentalis to consider which are also called Black (or […]
Greg,
I forget, is that a black ghost, or is it a ghost knife (brownish in color)?
If it is the latter (_Notopterus notopterus_), then you may have a problem with water of 8.0 pH. The other fish can easily adjust to that pH.

Ok everyone,
Here’s the results of my water testing with a high-range pH kit. It’s giving me a headache.
Water Source pH Alkalinity Range ================================================ Tank Water 7.6 […]
OK, here are the results of my water testing:
Tap water from city source tested immediately, from a line that has never been softened: pH 7.4
Tap water, not softened, after 24 hour wait: pH 7.4
Reverse-osmosis water (R.O. unit is very small. I only can use it to top off losses between changes): pH 6.6
Softened tap water […]
Congratulations. You sound really excited. Good luck with the fry.

Anyone try raising guppies(feeder) in slightly brackish water? We have some doing great for about 2 months now, Netted with ghost shrimp for feeding our puffers. Curious because when I tried fancy guppies in fresh they never did well. Which is truelly frustrating when our corydoras have layed eggs and now our angels, […]
