For ZD’s, it’s better to have at least two females for every male as the males will chase the female during mating season.. sometimes nipping her tail fin so she can’t get away. It could be the beginning of this phase. Did you just do a PWC? Normally, a change in water parameters […]

In addition to all of those suggestions, here’s one more piece of advice. If you are using a digital camera, you may have a manual setting on the lens. I have a Nikon D40 and on my lenses, I have a M for manual and an A for Auto.

Assuming you’re using a digital camera, there are a few things you can do. First off, digital cameras waste time focusing. Most digital cameras will focus when you half-press the shutter button and hold it in the half-pressed position. You will probably hear a beep when this is done successfully. So pick […]
I have been trying to get some good pics of my own freshwater tank. I keep rainbows and want to post some pics on a forum for identification purposes…

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 […]
The Nonnative Wildlife Invasion Prevention Act, introduced into the U.S. House of Representatives and referred to the Committee on Natural Resources, could force the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to “shut down a number of industries dependent upon nonnative species—such as the pet industry, food aquaculture and sports fishing,” according to Marshall Meyers, testifying yesterday […]
You can make the job a lot easier if you build an out-of-pond filter system. They’re easy to build and take much less time and effort to clean. You also don’t have to disturb the fish when cleaning an out-of-pond filter.
In-pond filters are pretty much only good as a mechanical filter, and not […]
Ooh.. can I help with the implosion?
In the old days… (you know when \Steve// and Ray were youngster’s.. lol) they never knew about Osmoregulation and stuff like that but they did know that salt help prevent or cure lots of things with FW fish so it was common to be added to all FW […]
Glad I was able to answer your question, although if you are now deciding not to remove all of the sludge, you have apparently misread my recommendations. I also found Lenny’s reply to be helpful too, although I can’t say if it completely filled in your question. Sometimes in […]
