Well, I do own a few N scale and LGB trains. ;) I'm, currently, trying to figure out a way to put up an N scale layout around my room. I think it would be cool to be able to "deliver" food to my fish that way...It's a germ of an idea, but one I would LOVE to make reality. :) I'm sure my...

http://z11.invisionfree.com/Modelling_World/index.php I haven't been around for awhile. Been trying to help a couple of model building sites get off the ground. One, doomed to failure, has gone by the way side already. But, the above one is getting up a good head of steam, if anyone's...

I try to never overstock a tank, but I always try to overfilter one. ;) It makes cleanings easier. Right now, I try to run 1 cannister, or HOB, filter and 1 sponge filter. I find the sponges are good for biological filters, and the other two types are very good at mechanical cleaning. Saves me...

Personally, I use slate in my tanks with granite rocks, as kind of a cave like structure. But, for ease of maintainence I never glue/silicone anything together. Besides, when I want to mess with the fish, or find them, I remove stuff down until I see fish. I wouldn't superglue anything in a...

Cool pictures. I wish I could get mine to stay still long enough to take a picture. LOL Mine's a species only tank, so the fishies have no reason to fear anything. LOL Congrats on the spawn

I would soften it a bit. I've found that 1 minute in the microwave is usually good for doing that. :) I do it with zucchini, but sweet potato is good to, from what I hear.

When I had mine...thankfully, they have been given to another happy owner now, I put 4 of them together, 2 males and 2 females. I let them pair off. Unfortunately, they did that one night, and killed the other 2 while I was sleeping. :( If you provide a big enough place for them to run in, and...

I'm with Naughtygirlw on this one. That's what I did. Wehn I bought my Oscar, he wouldn't eat pellets at all. So, I stopped feeding him anything but. If he didn't eat the couple I dropped in, I just cclosed the lid. After a couple of days of that, and a few more of his eating and sulking, he...

I have 3 bajos in with some danios. They seem to exist in perfect harmony. :D

Yeah, corys are notoriously curious. I can't pass by my tank without, at least, one of them wondering what I'm doing. And, don't vacuum the tank...That really gets the whole tank going. LOL

I've found that small gravel works. Just make sure that it isn't very abrasive or sharp. As Cory_Dad said, their barbels are sensitive, and very easy to damage. ;)

I just got rid of my convict pair. So, you have my condolesences....err congratulations. ;) LOL Honestly, when I was feeding my babies...I just fed them the same thing I fed Momma and Daddy, pellets. What seemed to happen, with mine anyway, they would break the pellets into pieces the babies...

I just had a fish die last night. :( I don't consider myself an expert by an means. Here's what happened though. A month or so ago, I bought a chaca chaca catfish. I tried pelletized food, krill, everything I could think of, but he wouldn't eat anything that didn't move. So, I started...

This is what I did, at the beginning of February, to 5 big tanks (2 29, 1 40, 1 55, and 1 75): Items you need: 1)empty water buckets (The kind you get from the pet store for making water to age). 2) 5 gallon containers ( I used Rubbermaid rectangle containers.) You'll be putting various parts...

I would go bristlenose...but, that's just cuz they are my favorite. As for Common.................. in a word....... NO!!!!!!!!!!!!! Commons get to be about 12 to 18 inches long. You don't want that in there, since it will outgrow the tank, period.
