    Otos - How Long Do They Live?

    I have had many otos for a long time. I had one for the most for 2 1/2 years (he was older when we got him) and died last week :sad: . I had another with him for 2 years, but one day I found him stuck in the filter dead, so we got another and we've had her for 6 months now and she already layed...

    What's The Hardest Lesson You Learned?

    Lol I can't get enough. 1. Overstocking 3 Danios in a 5 gal tank....hey LFS said it was fine (i was only 12) 2. Forgetting to dechlorinate the tank before I refilled it with water. Killed lots of guppies here 3. Putting a Betta in straight tap water. As soon as he was in there, bam he was dead...

    What Do You Do With Dead Fish?

    Straight into the trash can. It's like 2 feet away from the tank...so yea! I used to flush them, but I had one come back up into my toilet (didn't flush right) and scared the bejesus out of my friend :rofl: and that I don't want to walk all the way to the other side of the house just to flush...

    Omg A Baby Otos Maybe!?

    Yea I was planning on seeing what my water parameters at my LFS and one person wants to come over and check things out. Today I didn't see any fry, but I am hoping at least one makes it. I have Danios that zip everywhere and have an internal Fluval filter. I am trying to add more plants in there...

That would be great! lol I showed one of my LFS and all 3...

    Omg A Baby Otos Maybe!?

    Lol I know. I was psyched when I saw them and thought they were baby guppies, but was like "wait I don't have gupies anymore since last month and they never were in the bigger tank". I was watching my tank again and I saw 2 more clinging onto the rocks. I tried getting more pics, but all you see...

    Omg A Baby Otos Maybe!?

    I was looking in my tank this morning cause I had little white spots everywhere in the tank moving on the glass (dunno what they are, look like small snails to me) and I came across two of these small guppy looking fry that were clinging to the glass. I thought they were dead until a fish came...

    Background

    I used an old sheet that I cut to size on my 20 gal tank one time and that worked. It also helps soak up water in the back so it won't hit the floor or cords.

    Sick Sick Sick Person! Horrified At This

    I didn't see it, but sounds to me that someone wanted to flush a fish if it didn't sell. I have that alot here on craigslist, it's just animal abuse! I had someone here that had two saltwater fish (forgot what it was) and he said if they didn't sell thatnight he would flush them. I emailed him...

    Worm-Like Thing In Tank

    The thing is I never bought live foods. O and trust me I already tossed it away. It just sickens me that I cleaned the whole tank out and 2 of them were floating around in there....yuck.

    Worm-Like Thing In Tank

    oh ty... it might be either a tubifex or blackworm. I did recently buy new plants for my tank, so they might of come off one of them before i transfered. Well hopefully in my 45 the fish will eat any if there are any more lol.
