a really attractive fish, although some would consider it an abomination

http://www.nationalfishpharm.com/ these are the people i have used in the past, if you can buy in bulk it will be much cheaper per gram that way. i usually get someone or two or three to go in with me on the purchase and break it up that way. amazon sells this in smaller amounts and they used to sel...

handsome hoplo, i've had 2 for the last 10 years and they are doing great. when it's quiet they come out.

everyone counts, why not you?

i can only speak for the states but i know here, most of the good local pet stores are gone. they have largely been replaced by places that are way more interested in selling cat and dog food than fish. the fish are frequently in bad shape, absolutely have to be quarantined and still often don't mak...

my go to people. if you buy in large quantities it is a lot cheaper. i've got a lot of large tanks so it was easy to justify 500g, i share with the people in ly local fish club

i've got one in a big tank and the only reason i know i still have him is that i redid the tank a couple of weeks ago and got my annual look at him. doesn't matter some of are just fine being wallflowers and he's welcome to the grub and the space. I bought him because in the local store the people a...

are you using a large in line heater?

love the cats, second only to catfish

Additionally, why not give the fish more room to swim? why should they only have 60 gallons of room when there is 90 available? get an airstone or a circulation pump and fill it up! leave a little space in that tightly fitting cover. There are pictures of many tanks, plants have nothing to do with t...

then you agree that it makes no sense (except in some really specific instances) to keep the water level low: if it does not matter where the water level is as long as there is a reasonable amount of space between the cover glass and the water surface - fill it up, more swimming room if a large body...

PINPOINT® II Oxygen Monitor, there is always this for about 250.00, 217 euros but honestly it's easier just to add an airstone. i have used swiss tropicals products for years and they are good, aimed more toward filtration but will help out enormously with aeration too.

yeah but with so many easy ways of facilitating the gas exchange does it really matter where the surface is? i'm not talking a quarter of an inch, half maybe. It's so easy to add an airstone, or a surface pump and get that surface moving I have a 75 gallon and a 110, same tank length and height and ...

I've noticed something that I find curious. Quite a few of the tank pictures show tanks maybe 2/3 full, sometimes even a little less. I've always wondered why. I understand that for breeding purposes the water level needs to be brought down, I've bred corydoras cats and have done the "simulate ...

I know you said home raised but I have had excellent luck with wet spot. their fish are very high quality, shipping to NY would probably be like what I pay to boston, 35.00. I add other things and it's not so bad

I'm thinking of adding a co2 regulator to a planted tank I'm putting together. up to this point I've used both artificial and some real plants. I keep catfish and cichlids and so far the live plants have been largely the salad course. this tank will not have any fish that like plants( I hope). the p...

I use this stuff: CaribSea Instant Aquarium Tahitian Moon Reef & Marine Substrate, it's available at Drs Foster and Smith. It's 22.65 for 20 lbs, comes with pack of beneficial bacteria ( I don't rely on It so I don't know if it's good stuff) I use about only about 1/2- 3/4 of an inch. Corys are ...

I know it's notatus, I'm tired and in pain.....

I currently have one s decorus and one s notatus. until this point both have been in separate tanks but that may have to change. I need spine surgery and am trying to reduce from 15 tanks to just 5 or 6 large ones. This is my question: assuming enough hiding spaces can I keep a full grown decorus an...

get_onmouseover: neither facing nor species_id have values this is the message I get when I try to go to the main page. I can still access some of the features but the main page won't come up. tried deleting old instances of the page. etc, nothing changed, what am I doing? or is it the 6 yr old &quo...

you could keep checking petsmart, I try them every week and are usually disappointed but two weeks ago they had some gorgeous Brochis, I bought all 6 and they are doing great in quarantine, eating like hogs

I live in Everett ma, close enough to pick them up?

the 2217s are the best. I have one that must be close to 25 years old and the only thing I have replaced is the impeller shaft ('cause it was a little noisy, not because it had broken) I have 14 - 2217s and 2215s and never have a problem. they are not the easiest filter to service but they make up f...

it looks really nice. when the plants grow out some you'll have a real stunner!

true about the magnum and the eheim except that the eheim has a lot more room for filter pads, bio material, carbon etc. if the mag 350s are the same as the ones we have in the states you get a small container for material and a single spongy covering. you're not going to get anywhere near as much f...

if you go to wet spot tropical fish, http://www.wetspottropicalfish.com/, you will find this, Glyptothorax fuscus "Hillstream Torrent Cat" 2" $15.00 the bold type means they are new in this week so I would probably move fast as they seem to brought in infrequently (no, I don't work th...

I find it so informative that
I'ts been my home page for a long time now, I would consider 15.00 an absolute bargain when I think about all the info I get from it. this site gets two enthusiastic thumbs up from me. the amount of knowledge contained in these pages is astonishing!!

there were quite a number of Petsmarts selling hybrids as Longirostris, I am the proud owner of 2. I should have known better. the chances that they would have a line on someone as infrequently seen as Longirostris were minimal but there is one born every minute as they say, even one who should have...

not sure what stores are available where you live but Petsmart has been bringing them into some of their stores........
