I was at one of my nicer fish stores the other day, and was looking to pick up a couple new loaches. They had several they were selling as "Burmese Border Loaches", and I ended up buying three of them. What I find confusing is that they don't look like the Botia kubotai that I normally see...

A friend of mine is setting up a new tank, and is just starting to cycle. When she tested the water in the tank, it was showing her PH levels to be around 7.6. So I had her test her tap to see what it was, and not surprisingly it also was 7.6. I've never really had to deal with water with a...

A gentleman that's been coming into the store has had his 10 gallon tank set up for around 3 weeks. I can't remember what kind of fish he has in there, but it's around 5. He's been complaining that his water has been cloudy for probably the last two weeks. I thought it might be associated...

Just a quick question, and perhaps an explanation. I've always thought the liquid test kits were the more accurate tests. How accurate are the API liquid test kits? How accurate are the Quick Dip test strips? I had water that was tested with both, and the ph from the API liquid test was...

In the past I've always just gone with the fishless cycle when starting a new tank. However, three months ago I began working at Petco (Yes I know, I've practically joined the enemy haha) and a very very common problem I run into is, people wanting to buy a fish tank, and bring home new fish...

Any other Metallica fans here? If so which is your favorite album, and what do you think of the two new songs Metallica has been playing in concert? I really love The Black Album and Master of Puppets, and Load...well actually I like all of them except Kill Em' All and St. Anger....I thought...

I'm to soft hearted I guess, but I couldn't help myself. I went to this place called "Pet Time" a few days ago and on the main desk there was a 5 gallon tank with nothing in it except some black sand and a pleco that was 8 inches long. I went to the store manager to ask him if I could take the...

Well I'm far from the greatest Angel expert and in my one community tank my angel pair just layed eggs on the side of the tank (On the glass) Now what do I do? Yes I would like to try to raise the fry.

Kind of a interesting thing to read. I found this sense I caught somebody letting a Oscar go in a local pond so I looked it up to see how big of a problem it was. http://badmanstropicalfish.com/dont_release.html

Well I went to my LFS and got 4 clown loaches that had ick (also spelled ich, people are confusing :lol:) Yes I got sick fish on purpose, the store owner is stupid so he is very willing to sell sick fish. One would ask "Why did you buy sick fish on purpose?" Because I wanted to try something...

What kind of cichlids could I keep in a 30 gallon? I've never really kept cichlids (except angels) so I don't know what I'm doing :lol:

Cost about $7 around here and cost about $10 where I used to live.

Not the best picture, but I'm bad at taking pictures of fish, much better with landscapes :lol: I just got two of these guys and will be getting a few more when the new shipment comes in. This is probably my favorite loach.

Ok so I just moved across the country, all my fish made it oh happy days :lol: But that's not my point, I'm trying to setup my 55 gallon tank and I've got the water in, the gravel, he heater, and the wood. My problem is the filter won't start, it worked fine when I left and now it won't run...
