The only advantage of liting the keepers in order of duration (or perhaps amount of fish kept) would be to be able to PM the keeper found. However, the keeper can be inactive on PC, or have forgotten to note he no longer has them Besides, I think these questions should be put on the forum. A because...

Afaik, only Brasilian is based on Portugese; all other languages are based on Spanish. Besides these were Peruvian lists, so there was no need to check a Portugese dictionary. This is true, but, on the other hand, in parts near the border with Brasil in Uruguay, the only SA contry I know a bit abou...

I never heard of people jusing garlic oil in a tank, but, frankly, thinking of it, I have heard about people using garlic for their fishes. Itch is something which does not stay with the fish, it laeves the fish, and moulds ioudside it, but it is nearly impossible to get rid of. However, healthy fis...

I do have a few pumps in my tanks on platforms, in order to prevent sand from entering the pumps. Thee pums pump 4500 l/hr I found out that using a 10 cm thick cast concrete stone (covered with a 3 cm thick tile to prevent fishes entering the hoels in the cast concrete stone) prevents almost all san...

I'm not certain whether my big Pimelodus is a blochi, but i got 3, and after 6 months I had 1 left. They were housed in a 180 cm tank (that is 6 feet) so the most likely explanation fior the 2 deads was agression. This last one I now have for over 5 years In other words, this kind of fishes can be q...

In general it is very hard to say how long a virus can survive. Some virusses can withstand a lot, others not. Personally I would not worry too much, because on the one hand the virus did come froms somewhere, indicating you most likely had a source somehere near your house, and on the other hand vi...

Another tank was leaky after replacing it I think we do not fully realize how much stress a tank is under during auch replacements, resulting in the re...

Personlly, I'm very found of internal filtration. However, I don't refer to any commercial product, but to custom made glass filters: 5-10 % of the whole tank content. They are filled with the blue foam, several (5 - 7) layers of 5 cm These I hardly clean at al. I replace one layer every 3 or 4 mont...

It's obvious, but still it's sometimes good to state the obvious, as a reminder. in this case, I will need the room (the whole tank) for 2 more litters - >30 each, and the tank will be needed in winter for fish currently outdoors (all from Uruguay). I don't think it's a good idea to remouve the new ...

Breeding Rhineloricaria sp Charaguata
last year I received 9 rhineloricaria, from Uruguay. I think, but I'm not certain, Charaguata refers to their habitat. during the winter I kept them cool, I got eggs and now i have approx 20 joung ones, 4 cm on average. When can I remouve them from their tank? I wonder especially, because I have 2 m...
