My big tank is near a window too. I hung a black curtain on the back and side of the tank to block out the light. You could also use cardboard or anything else that's opaque and won't let the...

You could do a planted tank with a light stocking (chocolate gourami, dwarf cichlids, etc), or a sand-and-rock tank with shell dwelling cichlids - I've done both of those and enjoyed the tanks very...

I have a school of rummy nose tetras that I love. They do add color, and they tend to be tight schoolers, so they are quite visually appealing. They also act as good indicators for the tank - as soon...

Very cool, and thanks so much for the input. I was in a panic until I realized what was going on. They must have both lost their focus during the night though, as all the babies were gone the next...

That's true... I tried looking around on the all-knowing internet, but couldn't find anything except advice that they'll probably eat their first few batches. Maybe this pair got it figured out their...

Hey AC, long time no see.

My new GBRs just had their first batch of fry. It's a HUGE batch, there are at least 200 fry swimming around in there. So cool.

The parents are doing a great job of...

Hi AC! Well I have been AWOL for a long time... a move to Japan, then a move back to the US, and here I am again. My aquarium hasn't been at the forefront of my activities lately, but I've at least...

Happy Birthday!!!

Yep, I was surprised to see the number one ingredient as "fish meal". Strange indeed :ssmile:

You can try veggies such as zucchini, cucumber, etc. to see if they like it. I recommend dipping the...

Only algae... and for that reason, many won't touch algae wafers as (surprisingly) they contain more than just algae.

Good point, I shall experiment with cutting back the hrs. I keep two lights on during the whole time period (9am to 8pm), then turn the other two on from 12-4. I'll play around with cutting that...

Uh.......

Two questions:

"Last year we saw many men wearing their pants either tucked into their footwear or rolled up to expose socks and bare ankles"
We did? Really? I'm trying to picture...

Ugh. Everything was going along in my tank just swimmingly until... the water turned green. Yuck.

I read Dave's primer on green water and understand that it's caused by too much light (or wrong...

Ha! Better than the other kind of "croak"... I was expecting to give you a "sorry for your loss" kind of sentiment. I've been thinking about adding some croakers to my tank - looking forward to...

My favorite fish! If I ever do a SW tank, it would be built around one of those.
He's beautiful - great catch, and thanks for sharing!

Animals, lots and lots of animals.

I've kept many animals but never had the horses that I used to dream about. Not really practical for someone who also likes to travel a lot... but I still have...

German Shepherd....

I think it makes sense for a chihuahua to come up if you pick "large"... they always seem to think they are the biggest dog in the room! :ssmile:

Unless of course you have plenty of hiding places, in which case some will survive and some won't... but if you only have one that you are looking to preserve, then separation is your best bet.

My...

Yep. If it fits in the mouth, it is a potential meal!

Happy Birthday!:balloons:

Yep, a siphon can start and theoretically drain your whole tank through the airline. It happened once to me - fortunately I caught it before it reached the stage of major catastrophe, but it was...

I got my cherry shrimp from a seller on aquabid. $15 for 17 shrimp + moss + free shipping. Definitely beat the $4-5 price per shrimp at the local stores! All arrived alive and doing well, even though...

This one got my attention today. Some people...

Wow!! Those eggs are huge... and EIGHT of them?? No wonder she looked about ready to burst. Best of luck with them!

Will she raise them herself? For how long?

I think the poster saying the angels were the size of a silver dollar coin :ssmile:
