What is a skimmer? Only for saltwater tanks? Even if it is, still want to know what it is, why it is used.

Thanks.

Still have some questions about the sump thingy, but that is enough information to know it isn't worth my time right now to get more information.----I don't need a sump. It is...

Well....to be blunt then...with my obsessive compulsive personality.....this is one more reason maybe live bearers are not the fish for me!! None of the other fish have this "problem". Just the...

Thanks for replies.

Didn't think NEEDED it, but sounded pretty cool if it lowers nitrates and minimizes water changes and at the same time cuts down on algae! And research, even on this forum,...

Was doing some research on several subjects: algae, how to lower nitrates, filtration systems, lighting. Keep running across some words don't understand. Can anyone explain please?

What is a...

Okay, at first too embarassed to ask what might be another dumb question. But a search on this forum with the words "fish poop" popped up lots of threads where apparently it is discussed.....but...

Well, I've checked it before and it was zero. But you make a good point, hadn't thought of.

According to water treatment schedule in this country, the water is shut off for several days as soon...

Very helpful information about many questions.

Still, don't think it answers my question. Gives time until reach sexual maturity and gestation period. But does not say how long from own birth...

I first offered to loan them the 10 gallon, even to take home, or put in the store. But the store does not have room, and most people live in small apartments built during soviet times designed for...

No, haven't tried Hikari wafers. Will research them, if can buy them here, or find something similar here.

I can buy tetra algae wafers here though. Of course they sink quite fast. But I...

Yeah, seriously...like a fish hotel!! :hmm3grin2orange: Still waiting on the pet store to tell me his fee to keep them the four months. Probably still my best option.

But regardless of his...

Well....okay. I am enjoying it quite much. The two little guppies that raised from birth will let me finger feed them and even barely touch their tails without fear!! Too cool!!

Just don't like...

Am I overfeeding? Or is it possible there is "old tank syndrome" even though it is recent/new tank but much of the filter media was "stolen" as used filter media to seed?

I do at least once a...

Automatic feeder = 6 days or more my wages and since never used before, unsure how it would work, affect water, if reliable, how to set it to proper amount of food, etc.

Aquarium maintenance...

It is hard to believe no one has replied!! Impossible that no one knows the answer!! Maybe there is another reason for no reply???

Well.....I will let you know the answer as soon as the two...

Thank you for your suggestion to keep few fish in the 10 gallon if all else fails. Considering it.

Will try to explain this as briefly as possible...yes, the 50 gallon is more forgiving since...

Would love to have a planted tank someday....but honestly....I'm doing good to maintain the tank I have and keep the fish healthy. Really feel ignorant here about too many things. And financially...

Okay. Sort of thinking the same thing. They just need lots of room to swim wild for their style of antics during night and afraid the 10 gallon just isn't large enough.

But I have to leave the...

How many pangio kuhli loaches can safely/comfortably keep in a 10 gallon aquarium?

I have a 50 gallon tank with 23 fish (including 10 pangio kuhli loaches). Want to remove the loaches and put...

Hey, how long from a female guppy's own date of birth until that same female guppy will give birth to her own fry?

I have 2 female guppies born on March 13 who already look VERY PREGNANT!!

I...

She is okay!! Fed some blanched green peas (since couldn't isolate her---everyone got the same treatment) and did three 50% water changes three days in a row. Still haven't got a clue what the...

Hoses sorta straight---curved slightly, but no sharp twists or kinks. Will check gunky build-up next PWC. Never thought of that! This filter is a nightmare to restart if lose the pump primed and...

Well.....no scientist here....that's for sure. First let me explain. Only about a month ago have been trying to have water temp in aquarium at normal range. Before that all sorts of issues were...

Kripes! Never thought of bacteria explosion! Was so afraid to leave three days without SOMETHNG in there to eat. Always afraid I vaccuum substrate so well, that don't leave enough food on the...

Yes, signature is correct---- only 3 cherry barbs. One male + 2 females. No, 3 isn't enough. Had planned to add more later. But really can't add more yet. Too hard to explain why.

Don't...
