Yesterday I got myself three yoyo loaches, I was going to get zebra
loaches but there weren't to manny and they looked ill(white fins and
ich spots) I guese thats what you get for the last day of a sale :(, but
I am happy with my yoyo's. The accual point of this post is when I

I have a cute cellophane female betta and she is totally putting the rest of
the guys to shame with her nesting prowess! What gives? LOL She was in a
"community" tank with a couple of other females when I got her (got another
female from the same tank, not one bubble from her) ...

Can anyone tell me if the Excel Flourish can do as well (for my
plants) as the DIY.  I think my tank is fertilized enough and the
light source is good but the plants are just ok.  Should I go back to
DIY and if so is there another way other than mixing a new batch every

Can we get back to fish?

Hi all! www.kensfish.com has fish food in bulk, has good quality (just
bought 5 pounds (usa) of premium guppy flake for approximately $40.00 and
that includes shipping in that number) bulk fish food at great prices! Ken's
fish site also has awesome prices for other fish materials

I know a couple of you have Rams (Bolivian / ramirezi) so a quick question.
Two nights ago I noticed that one of my rams looked a bit dark round the
head area. He was eating fine, looked OK maybe a bit thinner than the other
one, but nothing too out of the ordinary. I lost a ...

This is our first tank. We have Black and Orange Mollys, tetras and 4 or 5
other species. My wife SWEARS that when she gets up in the morning and goes
to feed the fish, when she walks over to the tank the Molly's are at the
glass waiting for breakfast or they will come to the front ...

In an effort to maintain hope that my 10g tank will eventually cycle,
I'm planning what to do when it's done...  And at present, the plan is
to get three neons (to keep company with the three that are in there
now (long story, I know now, don't listen to fish stores)).

Here's my _current_ community stats:
6 Black Neons
3 Pepper Cories
2 Plecos

I bought 9 Otos last Friday and put them in my 10 gallon to let them ride
out the quarantine before I move most of them to the big tank. This tank was
really covered in Algae, so I figured I was good for quite a while before
they ran out of food. Besides, they've never proven ...

I have a few Gouramis in my planted community tank, 75g. I guess it's been
set up for close to 3 months now, it's been pretty stable no deaths in a
while. Last week I added two new fish though, 2 African butterfly fish. It's
probably a little overstocked, 7 gourami, 6 rosy barbs, ...

Today I found my female betta floating upside down in her bowl, which
had a slightly foul odor and milky color. I thought she was dead but
then she started swimming again. Anyway, I changed her water
again--after just changing it a couple days ago--and she is doing

Hi all, I have a qustion of how should I transport fish here in middle
canada durring the winter. I do not have a car so I rely on crapy public
transportation.  I am interested in getting some zebra loaches from my
LFS but am worried about them getting to cold in transport. This ...

All,
I have a 10g that's finishing cycling, so I'm planning for the future
while I wait and would appreciate advice from your experience.
For background, I started wrong (on the advice of a fish store person)
