I grew up in a rural community in the Catskill mountains a couple hours north of NYC. My parents were born in Europe but raised in the Bronx. After they were married they moved from the city to the mountains. I grew up hunting , Fishing and backpacking. However we spent one weekend a month...

Congratulations!

You live near Live Fish Direct, correct? You should ask them.

I hope you’re buying lottery tickets regularly. And I hope you know how to pilot a dirigible.

I got the fever too. It’s been two years since I cycled my first tank. I found several clubs by googling for fish clubs in my area. There were several all with FB presence.

If I win the lottery I will fly you out here.

Entry #35 The male p pulcher has bilateral proptosis with a cloudy right eye. Water parameters are fine. Maybe an injury. I’m not sure. I added aquarium salt to the water following Colin’s instructions. API Melafix arrives Wednesday. If the eye condition is not improving I will transfer him to...

Here is another club maybe closer to you. In over two weeks, the...

I always test by adding ammonia at a concentration of 1 ppm and then make sure it gets metabolized into nitrate over 48 hours. Better safe than sorry. But still add livestock gradually.

That’s fantastic. Congratulations. I want your autograph. 😃

That is a terrible situation. With all the demand for housing, I’m surprised the private sector building businesses haven’t stepped up building homes for sale and apartments for rent. How could building companies go bankrupt when there’s such a demand for housing?

Thanks. If salt doesn’t work and I progress to antibiotics do I house the injured fish in a separate tank away from the other fish?

My wild caught male p. pulcher has bilateral eye enlargement with the right eye being cloudy. The female pulcher is not affected, nor are any of the other fish in the 60 gallon tank. Ammonia and nitrite levels are zero. Nitrate is 5-10 ppm. I ordered antibiotic that will arrive Wednesday. My...

I had the same problem when we first moved to Baltimore in 1983. We lived in a neighborhood with a fair amount of crime. Helicopters hovering all the time. The only solution we found that worked was moving to another neighborhood.

I saw that in the movie theater when I was just a mere child.

Do you leave tank in tub overnight or longer.

When you leak test do you fill the tank all the way?

Entry #2 I purchased an Aqueon 29 gallon tank on sale for $49 today. I will pick the tank up tomorrow. I ordered an aquarium stand, Aquaclear 30 filter box, 25 lbs of black sand and a fluval digital heater from Amazon. The equipment will arrive next week.

We only live once! Go for it.

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving with my son and our west coast cousins. Fantastic meal capped off with apple and quince pie topped with ice cream. Tomorrow morning we fly back to Maryland. On Saturday it will be 20 degrees. Burr. But I will be inside tending to my five tanks that have been on...

OMG! No turkey on Thanksgiving! That’s a first for me. lol.

I hope there was some turkey and cranberry sauce on those hoagies today 😄

The stuffing is coming out of the oven right after this post. It smells quite good. It will travel along with the salad to east LA where dinner awaits.

Entry #1 I do not have a breeding tank, but I have several species of fish I would like to breed. I only have 30 inches of wall space left in my fish room. Given this limitation, I cannot go with a 40 gallon breeder. I decided to purchase a 29 gallon, 30 inch long tank. I am thinking that the...

That’s one nice fish.

How did you pick 20,000 IU? I have never seen a capsule greater than 5000IU.

The tartness of the green apple is a good counter balance to the richness of the sausage and pecans. I hope! 🤞

I am planning the type of recipe I will use for my Thanksgiving stuffing. I usually cook the entire holiday meal except for dessert. However this year I am a guest and was assigned stuffing and salad. So I’m thinking cornbread stuffing with sausage, green apples and pecans. For the salad I will...

Welcome Fishy102. Where are Fishy100 and 101?

Since entering the hobby two years ago I have never attended a fish club meeting. Yesterday I joined Aquarist Society of Central Maryland. The group is having a meeting on December 15. There will be chances to swap fish and purchase merchandise. Apparently vendors help underwrite the cost of the...

I bought 50 pounds of pool filter sand on Amazon for $12.

too much vitamin D can elevate the blood calcium level and cause kidney stones among other disorders.

Speaking as a physician I can tell your fun fact is incorrect. The recommended dose of vitamin D3 depends on factors such as age, health status, geographic location, and specific needs. Here are general guidelines from health organizations: Daily Recommended Intake Infants (0–12 months): 400...

Beauties. How big do they get?

I agree. But it is only recently that the nerves that carry the pain signal were identified in invertebrates.

What fish are in the tank? What is your GH? GH is more important than pH in most cases.
