Sorry, DavidG - I read your question too hastily and understood it incorrectly.

Thanks, Fluttermoth! I think your scheme is the one I'll adopt. DavidG, thanks for your appreciation of this topic! :) Once a week - is way too seldom feeding in accordance to all what I read before, but let pros answer this question. 8-)

Ok, bought frozen Brine Shrimp, Bloodworms, and Tubifex Worms (all cubes); will develop some schedule and feed occasionally. I hope that in air-proof bags they will be fresh for some time in freezer. Does anybody can comment? How long do those products stay fresh in freezer? Are there some...

Thanks Fluttermoth! Thanks Dayzofspeed! Thanks WD! Always glad and grateful to see your replies!

Thanks, Fluttermoth! Would other respected forum members add something about the experience of feeding beef, fish, or other meat? Did you try to do it? Is it okay? What kind of meat did you feed; was it raw?

Thanks Fluttermoth! I give them 30 second microwaved fresh cucumber slice a couple times a week, and thanks for your other suggestions. So I should be careful with meat. I heard somewhere that beef heart can be fed - I think because it is low in fat. Is it true? How it (and fish) should be prepared?

Thanks, Carlovel1!

Thanks, Chrispixx! I have a feeling that this may be a similar thing, and my gourami will also have happily everafter :).

Thanks, fergusek!

Ok. The water's clean now. Main thread on this topic is here and clean aquarium is below. Thanks everybody for your help!

THANK YOU! Now in two weeks after the rigorous consideration and application of your advices my aquarium is finally crystal clean. As I understand, main improvement was achieved thanks to the use of UV sterilizer (AA Aquarium’s UV Sterilizer with Power Head from petsolutions). Also as you know...

Hi, kbowling! I've no experience at all with the guppies, but my male also had obvious problems with the bulkiness of the tail before it was partially nipped off by other fish :blink:. On the other hand, having some experience with forums, I'd suggest starting a new topic for your question in...
