Hi Brenda,
Yes, I had dogs for years and had no heron problems, but I got tired of all the problems and watching them get old and die.

Hi,
I spent the morning putting up a double string fence around my two ponds. The heron was watching me with great interest from the top of a big tree as I worked! When I went inside it flew down and just stood there looking at the fence for about […]
Herons attacks are the most anooying problem for pond keepers, there have been many devices over the years, but none really successful. to my mind and experience, the most effective is a small fence 16″ high all round your pond, and only a few inched from the edge. […]
Hello again Edgar.
The most disappointing heron loss we incurred was our very pregnant female, a koi of unusual size and colour, and what the heron did was to spear her, fly off with her in his beak and then drop her in the field where we found her the next morning. […]
Hi Vivian,
If If you dont want live plants and its only on a temporary basis.. a good hiding place for the platy fry is plastic straw or plastic strips (some use colored plastic bags cut into thin strips) tied together on one end to a stone or any heavy material that will […]
I have a Platy about ready to give birth. I do not know if I should get one of those floating birthing cages because I understand it can stress the mother. However, my aquarium does not have a lot of vegetation or hiding places for the little ones to escape to. […]

Was the fish sick already when you got the tank?
What did you do to the new tank when you got it? (PWC=partial water change, filter cleaning, etc.)
What are your water parameters in the tank? (ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, pH, GH/KH, […]
I don’t know about swordtails, but as for the guppies, Yes, they stay much more at the top than the buttom, they leave the space downthere for the buttom feeders and the tetras (I’ve just noticed that these fellows are always in the middle of the tank!).
I read that guppy females […]
I can’t find a logical explanation for what you mentioned, less male breeders may increase the ratio of female fry? I’m planning to decrease the males anyway, because they’re exhausting the females, I’m sending them to the fish store 2-4 weeks later when they grow big tails. Let’s see if it will […]
Sorry for not mentioning the length of the move earlier. I was trying to focus too narrowly it seems.
The trip will take 2 or 3 days as I’m 32 weeks pregnant and I won’t be driving more than 5 hours at a time… and will likely be stopping to pee once an hour (possibly […]
