    Fish Trap

    Found a good DIY and have caught 2 so far, of course you also catch others but it is simple to separate them once caught. 4 more to go- smile.

    Fish Trap

    It really does and I have tried that but my hands and reaction time has gone so far downhill in the last 10 years. I am to the point that a good trap is called for. thank you

    Fish Trap

    I can't seem to catch a few fish even after tearing up half my tank. I need some kind of fish trap that actually works. I would appreciate someone that has had experience with these things pointing me in the right direction. thank you

    Into each life a little rain must fall. PH problems.

    Aragonite (not crushed coral) is what I bought. I am in the middle of changing from live bearers to egg layers. Frank is going to take the large live bearers and try to catch a few fry but they are soooooo many. The water supply readings are Nitrate 0...

    Into each life a little rain must fall. PH problems.

    I'm looking up gh and kh on google. I have platies, mollies, neon tetra's, honey gourami's, zebra danios, Oto's, Beta, siamese algae eater's and Cory,s. I also have shrimp and snails.

    Into each life a little rain must fall. PH problems.

    I don't really know how to correctly explain what is going on but a reading of 6.0 PH (that's as low a reading as the test strip show) it may actually be lower than that. My tank just does not act like a fully cycled tank should. I have ordered 10 pounds of crushed coral with the intentions of...

    What now? Moss

    Yes that is it, I bought both because they said the shrimp love it. I thought maybe I might get to see my shrimp more often. Oh well, it was a valiant effort anyway---smile. I just don't know what to do with it but time may cure that.

    What now? Moss

    I don't know anything about moss. I have no idea why I chose to click on buy but I did. I got flame moss on a rock (the rock is about the size of a 50¢ piece). I laughed for a good 5 minutes at this rock with a few strands on it. I've put it in the tank and the strands are starting to stand...

    Algae covered plants

    I am having the same problem but I have started treating it. Algae needs two things to survive and that is light and nutrients. I have turned my light off and I will leave it off for three days and then I will turn it on for one half the time that I was running it before. I am also cutting...

    My first experience with shrimp.

    I have seen shrimp on You Tube and did about 4 hours of reading on them. I knew they would be small but somehow my mind was not prepared for just how small. I released 12 Amono shrimp and they immediately disappeared (my tank is heavily planted) and after a week I finally spotted two. I also...

    Most unusual request

    Ahhhhh to be young again and not be attached to an oxygen tube and an IV tube, if I was a young 80 yrs old again then I could do the above. But as it is I will have to stick with Craig list with home pickup. If I could do all of your suggestions then I would never have considered a fish to eat...
