My first question here is — what do you mean by “for a little while”? And, what are you planning to do with this Giant Gourami after this “little while”? Yes, its entirely possible for a 4 to 5 inch Giant Gourami to live with a 5 inch Oscar and […]
Hopefully you’re not buying the foot long gourami I would not recommend adding one, some of them are more aggressive than others (gourami’s) but that doesn’t mean he or she will be able to hold thier own against the oscar or the dempsey. Right now your tank is very […]
Also just because they are smaller than they’re eventual size most cichlids will grow pretty fast if you keep their tank well cleaned and feed them very well. For instance I’ve had a Severum (which can easily get 10 inches long, not to mention how wide) for almost 3 months now and […]
I currently have a 55 gallon tank with a 5 inch Oscar and a 4 inch Jack Dempsey. The two fish get along very well, although I am aware that I will need a bigger tank soon. While at the small downtown fish store the other day my husband fell in love with the giant […]
I took everything out of my aquarium today and washed it in chlorox and hot water in a bucket in the laundry room, then rinsed well. Invasion of the Giant Diatoms. Or atleast I cuold WISH they were giant, because the larger ones have more character - actually it’s the […]
It’s called a Giant Sensitive Plant, or Aeschynomene Fluitans. I found a picture of it on-line at http://www.lilyblooms.com/giantsensitiveplant-p-252605056.html
Thanks,

Does anyone know how to over-winter a giant sensitive plant?
The store that I bought them at doesn’t know. It’s a very cool plant - the smaller leaves close up if you touch them. They have branched out about 6-8 feet now. I’m wondering how much I need to cut them back in […]

Lenny, you sure know your ponds….the pond with the snails is overcrowded and overfed but I’m not sure if I can fix that problem….I maintain ponds for a local water garden store and it is one of the ponds I clean…..however, it doesn’t matter what I (or anyone else says) […]
They have the giant carp like that at Hoover Dam too. Even from up top on the dam, you can see those fish are HUGE. I didn’t see any Koi hanging around with the carp at Hoover Dam though. Remember Koi should grow to 36″+ so that guy could still be a […]
