    Malaysian Trumpet Snail

    Usually you know they are doing well when in a short period of time, your 10 have multiplied into thousands! I have them in all my tanks, and they seem to breed fastest in the warmest water. Maybe your temperature is inhibiting their growth? All my tanks are tropical, so I'm not sure how low a...

    Is It Really That Hard To Breed?

    I have 13 Bumblebee Gobies, and they do exibit definate breeding behavior. (Not that I actually have any babies, although in my case there is a possibility that the eggs could be getting eaten by snails.) The males are more orange-ish in general, the females more yellow. When males are "in the...

    Do Snails Eat Fish Eggs?

    Hi everyone, My Bumblebee Gobies are displaying breeding behavior, and have been for some time. I have never seen any evidence of fish eggs or fry. Now it's entirely possible that the bees are only 'practicing' their breeding behaviors and not actually laying any eggs, but an aquarist I know...

    How Do I Prepare Cucumber For My Black Kuhli Loaches?

    Feeding bottom feeders veggies or fruit is easy, and you have a couple of options. 1) You can put a slice in a plastic veggie clip. (available at fish stores) This method works well for feeding small amounts. (you want to be careful not to try to wedge in too thick a slice, I've snapped several...

    Bumblebee Goby

    My bumblebee's eat a variety of frozen foods..... daphnia, brine shrimp, whiteworms, bloodworms. They are much easier to feed and keep than I thought they'd be! I had actually changed my mind about getting them, because I had read they were so delicate and hard to feed! Now they're displaying...

    Swollen Betta

    Thanks Wilder. The lumps look hard. If it's some sort of bacterial infection, shouldn't his tankmates be affected?

    Swollen Betta

    I have a betta with 2 separate areas of swelling on his body. The first swelling is on his underside, near his pectoral fins. He has been swollen there for about a month. The second swelling is more recent, about 2 weeks, and is on his side. This "lump" has been slowly growing larger. He is...

    White Sand Turning Black

    Not completely sure here, but I believe the black spots are anaerobic bacteria. I have 4 tanks, all with sand substrate. 3 tanks also contain Malaysian Trumpet Snails. These snails keep the sand stirred up quite well. These tanks don't get the black sand. The 4th tank, the one without the MTS...

    Oscars

    That's 33 US gallons, right? Assuming you cycle before hand, and you're starting with a baby oscar, you should be okay for 8 months MAXIMUM. That means you may be changing water multiple times a week in a few months, it also means you MUST not add any new fish to the 33 gallon tank with the...

    Oscars

    An Oscar will be perfectly fine on it's own.

    Gone From 3 Tanks To One

    That's why I've stopped at 4 tanks. There are plenty of other fish I'd like to keep, but not right now. I'm busy enough maintaining the 4 aquariums I have, also, I'd have to start chucking furniture to fit in any more tanks. :rolleyes:

    Ok Lets Get A General Consensus Here

    I have 4 tanks on the third floor of my house. A 90 gallon, a 26 gallon, and 2 tens. (All in the same room) Been there a year, so far, no problems......

    What Is My Green Stopped Puffer Doing?

    A refractometer is an absolute necessity for a brackish aquarium, for the reason you mentioned. You can accurately measure any salinity from freshwater to sea water. I read that refractometers are more accurate and easier to use as well, but I ONLY have a refractometer, never used a hydrometer...

    The Two Kinds Of Fish People...

    Interesting..... I wonder where I fit in to your theory? I have an oscar and a pleco, both eating their way up to LARGE fish in a hurry, plus bettas, cardinal tetras, and bumblebee gobies. I also have as many different types of snails as I do fish. I guess only time will tell, I've only been in...
