For having mostly silk plants, your tank looks amazingly natural. Goes to show how lifelike good quality artificial plants can be these days. A far cry from the tacky old plastic ones which used to...

They're black, and my guess would be around an inch long. They're heavy-bodied with fairly thick tails. Their bodies are box-shaped with the tiniest nubs on each side.

I still occasionally see one...

I know you've posted that you shake the bottles before testing, but in addition to shaking reagent #2 for at least 30 seconds prior to adding it, after you add it to the test tube (with reagent #1...

Earlier this season, I discovered a frog or toad had evidently laid eggs in the sunken Rubbermaid tub I had buried in my flowerbed as a water feature. They hatched, and now there are several little...

From what I've learned about neons, most of them are wild caught and undergo a great deal of stress during shipping. They don't seem to be the toughest fish in the world. This stress during transport...

I would love to have tetras. However, both of my tanks are coldwater tanks, so only coldwater fish, or tropicals that can adapt to coldwater, are suitable for them. There is no heater in either the...

Yeah, they said that some of the dead were counted twice, hence the initial number of 51. Still a horrible tragedy!

I'm more concerned than ever, now, for my sister who sits over there in Indiana...

Just curious -- what is the size of your tank? Koi can get quite large and are really better suited for a pond. I just finished rehoming two goldfish from my 65 because they were getting too big and...

Very nice!

This LFS I use has a strict policy of quarantining all new arrivals before putting them up for sale. I just don't have room for my own quarantine tank, so I only buy from establishments that...

Again, I am inclined to chalk this up to genetic alteration. I also lost my long-finned zebra danio, but can safely say that was due to old age, and I had him for slightly over three years, and...

If they breed in your tank, you night not have to purchase a huge number, providing the little ones survive. Give lots and lots of cover and let nature be nature. A certain number of these animals...

A hearty welcome to you!

First responder has given good advice. I would like to add that if you rehome the pleco and red-tailed shark but wish to keep your tetras, you can simply (and gradually)...

I don't know how far away your water source is, but I think you can get a python up to 25 feet, maybe 50.

I'm sure you now realize, in hindsight, that it's always best to set up an aquarium as...

I have just rehomed the last of my goldfish from my 65. The same couple with the large pond who took my first shubunkin a year ago has now adopted these. I gave away their food, as well.

I've...

Alright, all you tiger sharks and tiger barbs, WHICH one of you wannabes is going to be the first to compensate me? This is NOT negotiable!

You could try feeding the dominant pair first, in one far end of the tank, and while they're preoccupied with eating, try to feed the subdominant female in the far opposite end of the tank, so...

My two cents worth: I've finally reached the point in my life where I will no longer try to communicate with people who just won't listen. Why bother, when it all goes in one ear and out the other?...

Oops! I wasn't trying to hijack the thread -- I merely wanted input as to whether American Flagfish would be compatible with my dojos. Any chance they could be harmed by them?

Loller, there is a...

Are you saying there's now a calcium test for freshwater tanks? The only calcium test I've been able to find by API has been for marine tanks. I'd love to be able to determine the amount of calcium...

Oh, goodness! Remind me to dye brunette next time ...

I would say ignore it. Seems the most innocent intentions get misconstrued and misinterpreted these days, especially in the workplace. I wouldn't risk it. If you talk to her about it, she might think...

I'm sending you a PM with that information.

We have a town full of meth heads. Nearly all of them are young kids destroying their lives before they've really had any chance to live them. Usually, meth use is a family affair and they do it...

I've noticed since these changes were made that when I type in a new thread or reply window, I'm always typing faster than it takes the text to appear in the window. It lags a bit behind. Previously,...
