Hey White Pine- whats the plant that looks like grass in the middle area in your tank?

Hey 'yall!! I was wondering if I could get an opinion from you guys? I've had my albino chocolate for about 6 months. Since I bought him he's been considerably brown (which is why I chose him at the LFS), but today out of nowhere I noticed he's totally cream/yellowish... he's remained this color in ...

One of my good friends used to have a problem living her fish tank wishes vicariously through me... She bought me an Asian Upside Down Catfish Mystus leucophasis which was the most beautifully graceful, curious thing I'd ever seen. I totally fell for it, yet once I read about it here I realized I ...

Hey there Mats, I had a question about your feeding article regarding this formula you gave us: 1. Grind your favourite fish food to bits. You can add any kind of fish food and even ground, dried vegetables. 2. Separate an egg white from the yolk. 3. Mix the egg white and fish food. 4. Paint the ...

I kinda figured it wouldn't float... I thought maybe I'd use silicone to glue it to something like a rock or maybe a piece of slate? The pipes my friend gave me seem pretty heavy but I haven't tried to sink them water yet. I thought about maybe even attaching some suction cups... I guess I'll have ...

So they are actually more comfortable in a smaller housing cave than a bigger housing cave? If I used the breeding cave formula (although I'm not necessarily trying to get them to breed) is it possible that they would breed, seeing as they are not any of the same types of plecs? Since each plec ...

I was wondering if you might be able to help me with some cave sizing for my pl*cos? I have: 1- Glyptoperichthys scrophus 2.5"//6.3cm 1- Panaque maccus 1.5"//3.8cm 1- Liposarcus pardalis 2"//5cm 1- ? (looks similar to this one) 4.5"//11.4cm I was going to use some plastic piping... I have some 3 ...

woah your big tank is a BIG TANK! Thanks for the tip on the pic copying... I thought maybe it would be ok since I wasn't "claiming it" as my own, and it had the location found with the copyright symbol w/ the name of the owner. But, Im glad to know the "rules"! Honestlty, until I read another ...

Wow, that looks really nice! How big is that tank? I saw this picture at aquahobby.com in the garden section as an example of dwarf hairgrass... http://www.aquahobby.com/garden/img/Eleocharis_parvula_1.jpg How cool, its like a fishie lawn! Do you have any idea if that would work with the fish I ...

Hmmmm, plants you say? That might just be what I need to get simon to see his well-sought-after diversity in the tank... yeah, I'll trick him with plants! Thanks so much Mats! youre great! Plus, you now know a little about me personally... what I mean is, some of my friends call me Tangey (like tan ...

Ha ha! I knew I wasn't a freak... My friends say something must be wrong with me because they don't understand how I could spend time (sometimes quite a while) looking at fish in a store I have no intentions of purchasing from. I tell 'em "hey, I'm an addict. Find me a fish or pet addict recovery ...

Well, that is your choice... and IMO, your loss. Im sorry you didnt feel people responded kindly enough to you. Out of curiosity, have you ever noticed that there is no tone in written words (especially typed words) only the tone you choose to read it with?

Welcome! What kind of plecs/cats have you tried to keep? I would suggest going to a LFS (Local-Fish-Store) and writing down the names of catfish and plecos that you like. Then come back here and go to the "Cat-eLog" and look up each individual name you wrote down. That's what I usually do when I'm ...

oh yeah, and the pictures on the link dosent do them justice... if you want I'll try to get a decent pic of mine to post for you.

First off, hello Frankie!! Your tank looks sweet! why not just get a shoal of Glass catfish I totally agree and I bet you would too if you checked them out! Click here and you can see them and their data... On a whim I bought some and I'm so glad I did! They don't get very big, they're in plain view ...

OUCH! Ok, so I hate to be a trouble maker, but I do have a big mouth... Did anyone click on Sharn's link for her pic? If so, did you read through that thread? She said,(and I quote), in reference to this thread here on PC: "i was extremly unimpressed and was cotemplating saying something about how ...

Well, I'm very finicky about choosing fish (except for my impulse yesterday, but sounds like it was for the better!) so I don't go to LFS's that have unqualified/untrained/uneducated staff, poor quality fish, give me a bad vibe, ect, ect, ect. There are a couple of other stores here I know have ...
