I don't know about other places, but in Hawaii everyone
covers their whole house for termites every 10 years or so.
I plan to move my 20 gallons of fish outside so they don't
get gassed.  I wonder if I could use a 55 gal plastic container

I added a male betta to my 10 gallon tank about a week ago and I have
yet to see him eat.  I know that bettas usually don't eat much, but I
am a little worried.
The pre-existing residents of the tank are 4 zebra danios and 2 yo yo

Ok... I know I posted this before, but this cycling thing has me very
confused ... and slightly worried.
I've been trying to cycle my 10-gallon aquarium for a month to the day now.
I have an undergravel filter in there with my molly that keeps gasping (been

I have 10 threadfin rainbows.  I *love* these fish, and since I haven't
hit my stocking limit (I have about three dozen pygmy fish in a 75 gallon
tank), I'm thinking of actually adding maybe 4 or so more.
I'm not going out of my way to try to get any of my fish to breed, but if

I have hundreds of baby apple snails in my tank. I wonder, is there a
special wy to raise them or can I leave them in the tank?

It's a bit clunky and slow loading, but it's holding together.  My menu
is not 100% happy with Netscape, but I'll be changing it anyways, because
I can't bookmark easily to pages.  The Links Pages is about 20% finished,
and the drawings are too big and slow (fortunately only 3 or 4 ...

I have 4 guppy fry in a breeding trap to keep them from being eaten.  How
big do they have to be before it's safe to let them loose with the adults?
Also, when do they start to show their colours.  These ones are about 1 week
old and still pretty tiny.  Any recommended websites for ...

I have a tall 15g (15H) tank with an under-gravel filter. It's been
running a little more than a month. I put a couple of feeder goldfish in
it a couple of weeks ago. Things have been fine. I've done weekly
partial water changes and have scraped the glass a few times. The pH has

It looks like I may be moving about 400 miles from where I am. I have a 75
gallon tank with the usual community fish. Does anyone have any experience
on how to move them or am I out of luck? I have had most of the fish for
over 3 years, including 6 of the original 10 zebra danios I ...

I personally love oscars, tiger barbs redt tail black sharks and
plecos. How about anyone else?

I've got a nasty mystery disease in one of my smaller aquaria; I
suspect it's some sort of parasite, but it doesn't respond to normal
treatment.
I've have decided to tear the tank down and restart it. The fish will

I woke up this morning to find one of the two gold gouramis laying on the
bottom of the tank, dead. Now the other one is laying on the bottom,
gasping.
I don't have a test kit but plan to take a water sample to the LFS tomorrow.

I've written a little article on my experiences with the River Nerite
snail, Theodoxus fluviatilis. If anyone wants to have a look, the URL

I have tried many places including Petsmart, Petco, and many LFS.  Does
anyone know where to buy Siamese Algae Eater in LA?
Thanks in advance.

About a week or so ago I posted about my platys being ticked about something,
missing scales and looking like someone had skidded them across the ground.  I
was rather freaked out at the time which resulted in a REALLY long post which
I'd like to apologize for.  The answer was right ...
