Hey.  Been reading this group for a few days.  Great bunch of people here.
My sister had a lemon tetra that was very agressive - it bit the tail fins
off of two of her rummy nose tetras.  It was the only lemon in the tank, and
shared it with 2 dwarf frogs and the rummy nose.

I need to buy an automated feeder that will take care of feeding when
I have to go away for a period of three weeks. Can anyone out there
recommend a suitable unit for a 100 litre tank.
Thanks,

My long-established community tank is going to be needing a few top-dwellers in
the "near" future -- that level is currently inhabited by three old female
guppies (last male keeled over a few months back) and a lone long-finned zebra
danio that I somehow managed not to kill (I have ...

WOW!!!! That is a really nice look store you work at. If only all fish
stores could be so clean & organized. Very impressive.

I hope you can answer this for me .  I recently purchased 6 cl. loaches, 5 of
them are normal, but one sports an extra blk. band directly under the dorsal,

loaches but all have the same 3 blk bands. this one ...

So we had a few mollies, and a few little ones appear..they've grown to

Whats the best advice to getting them to grow? And how long would/should it

Hi -

My wife and I went to the Newport Aquarium, which is in the Cincinnati
Ohio / Covington Kentucky area.
Very cool!  Besides their amazing large tanks, they have some small

your site... Is there a chance you'd mind if I copied it's layout persay???

Anybody have any good links?

I've a male betta in a 4 litre / (1 gallon?)  bowl.
Like myself, he is not coping too well with the sudden onset of Autumn and
the drop in temperature, and has become lethargic.
He gets a full water change every week, the water is conditioned with ager

I'm thinking of setting up a species tank, a Dwarf Puffer (Pea Puffer)
tank to be exact.  All the info I found on the web about these little
fish has just confused me.  I need to make sure I know what I'm
getting into before I go out and get some. I also need to know what

I had posted a few days ago about my tetra not eating. He was the sole
