Automatic feeder?

I am in the process of redoing my 30 gal tank (previously held Ps. saulosi) and would like some input on my planned setup: 1 Opaline Gourami 8 Tiger Barbs 1 Red Finned or Red Tailed Shark I'm a little worried about the gourami's feelers, and the tiger barbs, not getting along. But, I've read...

Update: The fish are still eating like crazy and also behaving what seems to be normal. Their stomaches are looking much fuller than before and are about normal again. I have been changing the water every night, about 30%, and feeding 2x a day, soaking food in 2 cap fulls of metro and dumping...

My poor babies!!! I'll admit that I have been working a lot lately and haven't been paying as much attention to my fish as I should (I still feed and change water regularly) but I haven't been looking at them much. I noticed recently too that I seemed to be missing a few fish, who have...

I did a water change a little while ago, and noticed one of my skunk cories looked like he was lying sorta funny, but then again they do that. I did the water change and went back a little later, and found him lying on his side, breathing very heavily. He then swam to a different spot in the...

I bought a couple new plants the other day at my LFS. For reasons unknown to me, one of my anubias nanas lost its leaves, and stems, the next day. I decided to keep the rhizome in the tank, to see if it would start growing again. I looked at it today, and there is this strange bubble thing on...

I had to buy some dechlorinator today and I came across something I found to be interesting. I looked at Tetra Aquasafe, Top Fin Water Conditioner, and Hagen Aqua Plus. All of them were apprx the same price, however the dosage levels were very skewed. Tetra Aquasafe, the WC I have been using...

I'm moving to Queens in a week and a half, and need...desperately need, to find a good LFS to replace my one back home, which is top notch by the way. Does anyone know of any good shops? PS. I won't have access to a car, so if MTA doesn't go there, neither do I.

In an attempt to revamp my tank, I bought some additional plants, reaquascaped, and want this low light tank to really take off. The tank has Java Moss, Java Ferns, Java Lace Ferns, Anubis Nana, and Potted Crytps. The tank is a 10g w/ 1.5wpg. I picked up some Flourish Excel at the LFS...

mesapod - I should have added it to my OP, but if I was not to get different fish, I would get more of what i have, so that they are happy. guppymonkey - I know what you mean about not trading in a dog, thats kinda how i feel about my fish... The LFS I go to gives 50% of what they sell the...

I've become bored with my 10 gallon tank. I can sit all day and watch my 30 gal, but I rarely look at my 10 gal for long. Part of it, I decided is because I don't like my aquascaping. To remedy that, I am going to the LFS today to buy more plants. I love my dwarf gourami, he likes to hang...

Slightly OT, but plan B: would it be safe to put a TV next to a radiator?
