I picked up some baby brine shrimp eggs a few days ago. Didnt think till later that hay, why baby ones?? I would love to try my 2 guys on some live food, where/how would I get adult brine, or bloodworms from? Would regular red worms u use for fishing work or wax worms?

Thanks for input so far. What type of filters do any of you use? I was looking at getting 2 (one for each side) Azoo palm filters.

Workin on moving my two male Betta's up to a larger tank. It's a plastic 6.6 gal tank that Mijer is carring now, 23.5" long, 7.5" wide and 9" high. Im gonna put a divider in it to keep the boys apart. They are in half gal tanks now. A few times I've forgotten about water changes, and they...

Thank you all for the info, will read the link too.

Thanks... now the dumb part. I know why yahoo or this board couldnt find info on snails....I was spelling it wrong! Never said I was good at it. Anyways, will a Clown Loache be ok just by it self? Ive read you should have at least 4 or 5 in the tank.

I've tried doing a search on the boards for this but it gives me an error so it its been talked about befor sorry, just point the way and Ill read the posts. Son has a 15g and a 5g and both have snales it em, some may like em, we dont. I tried the "had-a-snale" stuff but didnt work. Any...

I'm sure this has been gone over and over agian that it reached the moon and back, but if any one wouldnt mind answering this. 15g tank has a Penguin Bio Wheel 125 filter unit. The bio wheel moves sometimes, but the filter gets pretty cruddy. Tanks been cycled since Feb/March, filters never...

Update on fishless cycle: Its been 29 days, I have a 15g tank, biowheel filter. After 19 days, ammo went to 0, Trites went to 3. This lasted for at least 8 days. If you read my first post you will see what I have in it. Anyways, After the ammo went to 0, I went from adding 20 drops to 10...

Hi all I had gotten pretty busy last week with buisness and all, kept up my twice a day feeding of my guys, but had failed to do any water changes. This must of been 7 to 10 days, first time I went that long with a water change. I normally would do one every 3 days. I have those 1/2g betta...

Well, I guess I should of said the filter I have is not the smallest, but third one up from bottom, I guess its the smallest (mini) with the wheel I wanted due to water noise. It's in my son's room. But if he gets used to it I'll leave it. As far as my question bout food, I'll keep goin like...

Greets all. First time trying fishless cycle. Heres what I have so far: 15g tank gravel hand full of gravel from LFS in nilon sack 2 potted plants heater air stone bio-wheel filter 125 (i think), its the next one up from smallest 3/30 to 4/2: 7 drops ammonia "ammo" reading=1.0, Ntrate 10...

Greets all. Getting ready to set up my son's 15g soon. Wanna try this fishless cycle method but not sure about the ammonia. I live in the Columbus Ohio area and we have a Kroger, Mijer, Walmart, Sams Club. The mijer brand says it has coloring and fragrence in it. Did the "shake" thingy to...

Hope you dont mind me posting this under this topic. A while back, maybe 2 or 3 weeks, my son's tank was reading high ammonia. I used the AMMO-LOCK a couple of times, still got high readings even after several water changes. Now I've read alot of posts about this product, how it is said to...

Didnt know if this had been posted b4 or where to post it at but this may help new ppl and the rest of us also. Taking water samples is done different by all I'm sure. But getting the right amount of water into a test tube isnt easy all the time. So, I picked up from a department store which...

I have 2 half gal tanks, the marineland betta kit tanks, least I think thats what they are. Anyways, on the back of the lid on left corner there is a hole. I assume its so you can put a air stone in. Well I found this site called Hargraves Technology that sells small water pumps. I thought...
