Thank you, Don. I’ll show this to Malcolm when he gets in. I’ve also sent along a few shots that will give you an idea of what I’ve got. I like the idea of rinsing the mulm out with a wand and I have just the right attachment for […]

Hi Judith, Are you able to remove the plants from the pond?
My pond has a lot of planted things that I could not protect outside of the pond. Does fin rot every go away on its own? The […]
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 […]
Ray, As I mentioned before, I don’t have a testing kit “neither does any LFS here”. But I performed a 25% PWC earlier today. I’ll bring an antibiotic first thing tomorrow, but the only one I could find “that can be applied to fish tanks” is called “GREEN something!!”, I’ll write […]

Hi, I have a 55gl tank and seem to have parasites that no one knows what they are and nothing is taking care of them, seen pics of parasites but none match. Can anyone help me? They look like tiny worms of different lengths, with no hooks, clear as glass, fish […]
About two months ago, I moved my daughter’s tetras (3 serpae & 4 diamond) from an overcrowded 10 gallon to a used 29 gallon I bought. The transition went well, and our three dwarf frogs are enjoying the old ten gallon. Last month I got her four cherry barbs, and […]
Shirley, Don’t know why, but I thought this question was answered, and regret that it hasn’t been. To answer your question short and to the point — No, Fungus is not contagious, in the sense that it is spread from fish to fish as flukes (for example) would be. […]
Depending on the size of the Whisper filter, if it is one that is rated near to your tanks’ capacity (even if slightly larger) its flow adjustment will allow for an appropriate flow for the comfort of a Betta, yet still provide adequate filtering capacity for a somewhat lighter than normal […]
