fish) for my community tank.  In the end I got a beautiful pair of
Dwarf Gouramis who seem very happy in their new home.  However, "Mr.
Gourami" has decided, after two days in the tank, to build a

I have a tank with an UGF and an internal sponge filter with an air-hose
venturi.(for redundancy, the tank is not overstocked)
Sometimes I like to turn off the sponge filter to have quieter and

body. It looks like it's hinged about the stomach. This makes it difficult
to swim, so I imagine I will lose it eventually. I recently lost all my
Barbs (Rosey and Tiger) over the period of a few weeks, ...

It may have come accross as sounding like a person is irresponsible if

I want to buy a tank to be my second aquarium.

Yesterday there was a power failure and my aquarium temperature rose to
nearly 30 degrees C (90 F) The forecast is for a prolonged hot spell
with temperatures in the high 30s (degrees C) = 100 degrees F
The local pet shop owner reported that the fish jump out of her tanks if

I can glue rocks together, but I want to make, carve, paint etc my own
decorations. I have used plaster of paris cloth type thing, actually

Canister or wet/dry?
The stuff is cheap as hell. I can get the bed of my truck filled for the
price a small bag of 'bio-media' at Petco.
I mean, look at the freakin' spendy sintered glass pellets from Eheim. Yeah,

I'm setting up a 120 litre planted community tank in which I'm going to
keep Rummynose Tetras, Lemon Tetras and Endlers livebearers (Poecilia
wingei) with a Khulii loach, some corydoras and amano shrimp.  I would
like to keep one or two more striking fish too but they would have to
