Does your LFS carry any freeze-dried? My cories bred on a combo of different freeze-dried(tubifex,blood worms,daphnia), reconstituted with distilled water. I also changed the water frequently. I lowered the temperature by 5 degrees F.(I'm sorry-I'm bad with conversions to C) Now they won't stop bree...

Please, follow Medaka's advise about local fish stores!!!! It sounds as if you may have a community setting. Can you please tell me how big is big for you? There are catfish that can reach 1" and there are cats that can reach 4'-0" or even larger.(please correct me if I'm wrong, anybody). ...

I'm so sorry to hear about your banjos. I recently got Stealth heaters, too, after my 10 gallon hospital tank cracked in the middle of the night....not pretty.... :shock: :oops: With so many plugs and changing the water so often, I sometimes forget one.

I think the fish that died, died from formalin poisoning (sorry for getting off topic, Mr./Ms.Moderator!). O...

Last winter, I bought some Boesemani Rainbows from a LFS who turned out to be less than reputable. My 29 gal.tank got Ick. This included 3 Paleatus and 3 Aeneus cories. They were at death's door. The peppered's were blinded with spots. The Aeneus would feint constantly. It was awful! :cry: Much to m...

I'm new here, but I think I saw one of those clip-on Moon-Lights for less than $20 from Coralife.

Hello Everybody. I want to introduce myself. I've only been in the tropical fish hobby for 1 year. This past year has been a great education in trial and error. I love my Paleatus and Aeneus (sp.?) corydoras!!!! They may be "ordinary" to others, but not to me. I have two small tanks, one 1...
