Well then guys it is just something my computer is rebelling at doing. Must be going through puberty. I think I rebelled at everything when I went through mine. :lol: I'll try again soon. But they are exactly at that stage where they look like little ity bitty neons! And boy are they hungry. Like ...

Could 11 fish but only 8 caves be the problem. I have been under the impression that with cats they are each supposed to have a hiding spot available to them. Yes? No?

No apoligy neccesary Carp37. I used to be able to uplaod them directly from my computer. I never had to use a hosting site before. But this is my first thread in almost 3 months. Have things changed?

Okay guys I can not upload any pictures from my computer. I've tried several times and all it does is go to a blank screen when I hit the add file button. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

Well around here we love to watch the kids in a bowl as we call them. We definetly do anything but ignore the little buggers. I'm gonna try to upload pics today again.

Oh well can't get pics up for now. My computer is not behaving. I try to upload and then it just goes to a blank screen w/ nothing. well I'm frustrated!

Hey guys! Haven't been on in a while. Been looking for a job. Went out of town for about four days 3 weeks ago and came back to about 20 or so babies. Tanichthys albonubes or white cloud mountain minnows. They live in very cold water so I figured a fish bowl as a nursery would be good. Found a ...

More often reffered to as a rubber lip pleco or a bull dog pleco.

I believe this might be your new critter.

Yes? No?

Mine is a bit more social then others i've read about. But I think that is b/c he has several different hiding spots and feels comfortable enough to venture out during day hours.

Welcome to the fishy family!

I've been checking on him/her at night,and it is venturing out to find food in the evenings. So I will just make sure the ornament is elevated off the gravel enough to allow him/her access in and out. It seems a bit happier so I won't mess w/ a good thing till I have to when I replace it w/ real ...

Well eventualy he has to come out, cause the fake stuff is going and getting replaced by real stuff so my Java fern has something to grow on that is more suitable for it then gravel.

It could very well be this member of the family instead .

Hey guys my has decided to play hide and seek. He went up into some fake ceramic driftwood that is hollow and has an opening in the bottom. How long do you think till I should make sure he's okay? And then how to get him out?

Andy,
Hey beautiful! What a good looking fish. I'm sure it will be very happy w/ a great fish mom like you!

Welcome Stuart. Hope you stay and hang w/ us for a while.

Welcome to the family!

Largely cute and mildly disturbing at the same time.

How's your Pimelodus blocch? Last I logged in he was still newly healing.

Mine spreads eggs about 3-4 times a month. I will be getting some boyos for her soon. Then hopefully kittens!

HI! Welcome. You will love it here. I've been hanging around for about 4 months now and llllooooooove it. I think you'll fit in just fine.

I think - one of the unusual / really nice ones. I am off to bed otherwise I'd look it up. Sorry!

Apparently even the mighty Jools requires sleep like the rest of us small mortals.

A water conditioner that helps replace slime coating would not be a bad idea either. But I have found Melafix and it's sister product, Pimafix to be very effective. I have even used it to treat fungus w/ no other meds just the Pimafix. Good luck. Let us know how it goes.

Sorry to hear that. Hope he recovers. I hate loosing fishies!

I was sorry to loose the gold zebra danio. But I'm glad my catfish all made it.

Okay. Everyone got moved well but I lost 2 of the danios in the 29 and my otto in the 2 gallon. I don't know what it was w/ the otto that made it go to the big bowl in the sky. Everything was "normal" as far as readings go. But who knows. One of the Danios lost his tail fins in the move so I'm sure ...

Just an update. I got moved and Vacuum is doing well and being frisky. We call her the Golden Retreiver of the tank. She always looks like she is wagging her tail every time she swims in front of the tank.

Hello Caley,

I hope you enjoy being here as much as I have. Welcome to becoming a catfishian!

What beautiful patterns on the snail. Mine was never that pretty.

In regards to the dropsy question I read this article the other day and found it to be interesting. http://www.fishchannel.com/fish-health/disease-prevention/dreaded-dropsy.aspx Also I have always found Pimafix to be effective w/ a host of problems and it can be used in concert w/ other meds. It ...
