Re: the "Big Boys Toys" Division: tank Wars event!

I was made aware today that the forum was exhibiting a certain unexpected behavior when attempting to use the IMG tag to place a photo from a Picasa account album inline in a post. An error was being returned that image size information could not be obtained, and the posting would fail. It used to w...

Re: Lobster/Shrimp Battle

We would often advise tank rearrangement in the case of an established fish giving a new fish a hard time, the thinking being in-place territories are destroyed, and everyone is then too busy going about establishing their new one as opposed to defending the old. Sort of leveling the playing field, ...

Re: San Fran-wacko at it again? wanna read more?

And what of the suffering of all those yellowfin tuna, just for the ridiculous gastronomic pleasure of California sushi lovers? Better ban sushi-- oh, what the heck-- and all seafood-serving restaurants, too. We had legislation introduced here years ago to ban the retail sale of dogs by anyone other...

Re: Fish Trap???

Maybe try a 2-liter instead. Cut the top as suggested above, and cut the neck off the top part to make a bigger hole in it.

Sometime in the next few days, probably between the evening of 4/21 to the weekend of 4/23-24, we will be moving the site and forum to a new server. This may have the effect of the site and forum being unavailable for as little as several hours up to (hopefully not) a day and a half, while the domai...

Re: tank set-up question

Only three gallons will be difficult to maintain consistent temperature. Among freshwater fish, neons break out with ich easily in less-than-optimal conditions. I'd say danios, barbs, or a hardier tetra like serpae would be better.

Re: tank set-up question

I was planning on dropping a five day feeder in there i will be staying at there place two days a week and i didn't want them to worry about over feeding or anything like that. The calcium carbonate (plaster of Paris) those feeders are molded out of will affect the pH in a small tank. They're also ...

Re: tank set-up question

Well water is usually softer than city water. Great for some fish-- tetras, for one-- not so much for others (livebearers, for example). Get a sample and let Ger test it for you to see what's up. Gearing the tank towards the natural characteristics of the water source may be the way to go.

Re: Help! Fish are dying... what did I do wrong?

I began a reply to this thread the other day, but didn't post it. I should have gone with my initial impression, but after re-reading the original post, I second-guessed myself and said "sounds like pH shock, but it's been almost two weeks, so maybe not, and someone else has a better idea I'm n...
