a Sunday treat. Browsing the tanks I noticed one looked empty, save for
a few tiny rasboras but the label said "Bumblebee srhimp, 2.99". I
looked closely and I saw one shrimp standing on the filter. When one ...

A LFS has a list of new species soon to be released.  It includes "Red Khuli
Loach".  Does anyone know anything about these critters?

Does anyone recognize what species of rainbowfish this is:

It's about 4 cm long, so probably not full grown.

I've read a lot about Clown Loaches enjoying cucumber occassionally as a
treat but couldn't figure out how to get it to sink. Then yesterday hit on
the idea of plant weights. So I carefully inserted a strip of plant weight
into a chunk of cucumber and after making sure there were no ...

Hi everyone ... we bought an aquarium for our school about 6 months ago and
everything's been going swimmingly until this last couple weeks.  There were
duckweed growing crazy ... I kept thinning it out with a net ... and several
leafy plants growing anchored to the substrate.  ...

I just got a few botia sidthemunkis (chained loach, dwarf loach), since they
seem to do well in softwater tanks, and I got a seriously soft water tank.
While I was at my favorite fish store, the fishkeeper told me that
sidthemunkis are on IUCN Red List of threatened species.

I just wanted to register a vote against this sucker.  Sounded like a
good idea when I bought it, I didn't see any negative reviews at the
time.
It does keep the temperature legendarily stable.  It's been great for

I got a pro aqua (or aqua pro) 11w hang on the back UV steriliser for my 198

There is no reccomendations for a maximum flow and there doesnt seem to be
anything on the the net stating this. I am a little confused as I was

When I originally bought my 20g long aquarium from someone who had
allowed it to get into a mucky state of deep green it came with a
handfull of sad paranoid fish. 2 zebra danios, an adult siamese algae
eater, a stunted black molly that was actually permanently *smaller*

I have pearl gourami that has a big red lump on his upper lip. He also
has a red lump on each of his sides. I am not sure what to do. I do 25
percent water changes every other week. It is a 55 gallon tank with the
following fish in it:

Well, I had my first "fish loss" today - one of the juvenile angelfish
was swimming on its side, and then upside down, this AM.  I moved it to
a quarantine tank to observe and try to treat it, but it died before I
had a chance to try anything.  No sign of trauma or attack.

My male betta Sparky FINALLY built one for Beauty! The tanks are side b

   I have just finished redoing my entire fish page once again and
relocated it to a different domain... It has a very good amount of fish
information and fish pictures please visit it.....
