I have had a lot of success with peas , too, as long as i take off the outside, and mine like the peas better than zucchini although I usually give them alittle of both and add lettuce and celery on occasion.

Otos ideal temp. is about 78 F but will be okay in 80 or so but not much higher. I have many Otos and love their sweet nature they get along with everything but like to stay in groups they clean algae well, so well infact that I have to leave veggies for them because there is no more algae. They do ...

I have seen some pretty big tanks on the redwood road petsmart they currently have a one on display although I am unsure of its exact size. I think I might just try to get mine custom built through a place that a teacher I know has had his built at. Because I want a wide tank not a high one, he uses ...

Thanks everyone for the help. I am glad this storm is gone. In the aftermath I lost two fish about a day after the power came back (due to stress because the temp dropped way lower but I believe the blankets helped tons just have to get a generator for next time.) luckily they where not my catfish ...

Skyetone where did you get a tank in Utah that size I have been unable to find anything that large. The long tank is probably a propegation tank for coral because of the low height I have a couple long ones for coral and for various types of bottom feeders that I use. I am unsure of why they make ...

Luckily I did not loose anything. I spent the whole night, the power went out again and I could not leave them, coving them with tons of blankets and with an airtube attached to my bubble Screen) hanging out that we hooked up to a little basket ball pump that we pumped every ten to twenty minutes ...

I did search the forums but all I found are stuff regarding air and what I am worried about it temperature more than anything. And all the back up systems that are talked about I have no clue where to find because I have never seen them before while shopping for other things. Air is also a small ...

I also need answers as quick as possible incase it does go out again ....please.

For the past couple of days we have had major storms with about two feet of snow. The power has been going off regularly with often ten hours or more without power. I covered my tanks with blankets and pillows and was able to keep the temperature at 75 F. My fish all lived, so far, but they are ...

Thank you for the great information and feeding I am going to try the black worms

Where can you get the live food all i can find is dry or pellets, none of the live stuff unless I want brine shrimp and is there any way to produce my own like with some worms you can raise on your own. If so where (what types of places) how?

I decided to add some corys to my already existing tank with guppies, danios and african dwarf frogs. The biggest problem I have is the best diet for a cory. I am unsure of what kind he is although he (or she) is spotted which doesn't help at all, hopefully I can post pictures of it later. Well the ...

This bar does not work at all unless i only want to go to a different forum. I tried it again just to make sure and it still doesn't. Thanks though.

I used to have a bar on my computer that allowed me to go back to the home page to search the cat-elog and it even had a link to Shane's World. The last couple of times I have been online their has been no bar at the top of my screen, however, on my other computer there is. I can not get back to the ...

Thanks

Thanks for the info.

I know I am not interested in setting up my first tank that was accomplished long ago I am new to the catfish side of things and although I love all my fish it is easy to find what I need on them everywhere... But stuff on catfish is difficult(unless they are common types) to find if you don't know ...

Hey I am new to your site obviously I have not even been here for more than a few days but I find the cat-elog hard to search through although it contains great info . I would really like to know more about these species with an easier way to search for them. It might also be good to have some sort ...

Sorry! An ADF is an African Dwarf Frog... Oh and thanks for the info

I am looking for a catfish besides the otocinclus species that are small when adults (up to 3") . It needs to be a good community fish because I want to put it in with some pearl danios, ADF's and fancy guppies. I know the Otos would be okay but I am wondering if anything else is a possibility and ...

The tank is planted... Still can't figure it out.

One of my Otos has this strange habit of following everything in my tank that moves (ie: the ADF's, fish, other Otos, bubbles and even the snail.) I have not clue why and even though it is humoring I have heard of Otos attaching themselves to tank mates resulting in the tankmates death... Searching ...

Thanks... Oh and I have one more question.. One of my otos is a little weird he likes to chase anything in the tank that moves he doesn't care whether it is another oto, a fish, or an ADF. He doesn't ever catch them even though I know he easily could but I have seen other stories on the web of otos ...

Nope same light brown color...is it normal? I searched the web but have found nothing on it....

I recently decided to add a group of three otos to my tank. Recently i have noticed that they have all darkened in color. When I first bought them they where so light that you could not make out their brown stripes that well. Now their stripes are dark and visible I assume this means that they are ...
