what are great places to vacation?

By on Tuesday, March 2nd, 2010 | 2 Comments

my family and i are trying to decide a place to go.
i like the ocean a lot, i love lying on the beaches.
but im not interested in snorkeling or underwater activities.
i like somewhere with good weather, great tourists sites, and just overall fun things to do. i’ve been to chicago before, and i loved all of the places to go like the aquarium and interesting shopping. but this time around i would like somewhere tropical.
(the real world CANCUN looks like heaven)
and last but not least, i am not into biking, hiking for 10 miles, or anything very strenuous and athletic.
thanks!

starting a freshwater aquarium?

By on Tuesday, March 2nd, 2010 | 4 Comments

I want to start an aquarium and I need some advice. I plan on getting a 20 gallon glass aquarium. I do want some live plants but I don’t want to go over board since I’m unexperienced with them. Just a few and then add some nice fake ones. For the plants I’m not sure what easy starter ones would be the best. I’ve seen grass and clover and I would also like some tall plants but I’m not sure if these would be the best. Next, I’m not sure what type of gravel to get I definately don’t want sand but other than that what sould I get and what color would you recommend. The type of fish I definatly want to put in the tank would be a betta and then I can’t decide between these: Platies, zebra danios, cherry barbs, cory cats, gold barbs, white clouds, swordtails, lemon tetra, blood fins, glowlights, serpae tetras and a fish that cleans the algea. Which of the fish and how many would be the best for a 20 gallon betta aquarium. I read that I need to heat the aquarium for the betta for which fish
would listed above would do good in a heated aquarium? And what type of lighting would do well with this type of aquarium.

Can you keep tropical fish in a tank with no heater,lighting.pump,filter???

Can you feed Tropical fish Goldfish flakes?

By on Tuesday, March 2nd, 2010 | 4 Comments

i saw someone ask this, and i TOO have a tub of goldfish flakes im not using… Could i possibly feed these goldfish flakes to my tropical fish? Neon tetras, Guppies, Mollies, swordtails, platies, etc.

Now, sure the PICTURE says what fish… but both are omnivore fish. Am i right?
Also, the back packaging pretty much says the same as the tropical fish food flakes… Fish meal, some other shrimp, etc…

So… can it work as an alternative?

thanks

How do you reduce the nitrite in an aquarium?

By on Tuesday, March 2nd, 2010 | 7 Comments

We’ve had a few fish die in our 30 gallon freshwater tank. Then, we used a test strip in the water and found out that the nitrite levels were off the chart! Any suggestions on products or what to do to reduce the nitrite levels?
