By on Sunday, November 6th, 2011 | 4 Comments

i have a 10,000 gallon coral reef aquarium with thousand of corals, and hundreds of fish and inverts in all shapes and sizes. Would it be safe to put a japanese dragon eel, brazilian dragon eel, ghost eel, and golden dwarf eel into the tank.

Would It Be A Mistake Adding These Fish To My Community Tank!!!!? Please Answer?

By on Sunday, October 23rd, 2011 | 5 Comments

hi. i have a 75 gallon aquarium with plenty of drift wood, hidng places, plants, and plenty of room to swim.
i was looking into getting 3-5 boesemani rainbow fish to add to my community tank!
the fish i currently have in my tank are..
2 male dwarf gouramis, albino bristlenose plecos, 7 gold tetras(the male are pretty small), 5 cardinal tetras, 5 albino cherry barbs, like 10 cories,very sizes of platties, new born to adult,(only 3 adults), and then 4 male guppies, OH AND ALSO 3 CHERRY SHRIMP.
i only have concerns with the rainbows eating my small male tetras(females are bigger), and my cherry shrimp. at full size, would the rainbows eat them?
i really dont want my cherry shrimp to be eaten cuz there were 3.99 each for that little thing. and i barely see them except when the are on the drift wood, so they still could eat them.
is there any other worries i should have if i get these?
i tend to not trust bigger fish becasue of the fact they could eat my little fish so i would only want to get like 3-5 of these fish. maybe start with 4 and then mayb get more if everything works out?!
i remember looking on a website where you have to put a certain amount of male with females so if i got 4 boesemani rainbows, what is the male to female ratio i should get?
if these wont work.. could i get a pair of pearl gouramis?

How Would These Fish Do In A 10 Gallon Aquarium?

By on Wednesday, October 19th, 2011 | 8 Comments

I am helping my son start up a ten gallon aquarium he got for his birthday (he just turned 8, if that’s relevant). My son and I have both had experience with freshwater fish, but not a tank this small. Will four guppies (all male, so no breeding), two dwarf frogs, and a small algae eater fit in this aquarium? What kind of algae eater do you recommend for such a small aquarium? How often does a tank this size need to be cleaned? My son is really looking forward to having his own pets to take care of, and I want to make sure this goes as smoothly as possible.

Are These Signs I May Be Expecting?

By on Wednesday, October 19th, 2011 | No Comments

I have been feeling really off lately, like almost sick but not completely. I also have these weird little red lumps on my legs that look like bug bites but then become bruised. I’ve been having hot flashes almost and have been very emotionally. I know I’m not going through menopause because I am only 21. I have been sleeping a lot and my libido has been crazy. I took a pregnancy test and it came back negative but I still have over a week before my period is supposed to come. Just wanted some ideas. Also the smell of fish has been turning my stomach and I have always liked seafood.

Harlequin Shrimp??? Is There Anyone Here Experienced With These Beauties?

By on Sunday, October 16th, 2011 | 1 Comment

So I bought a pair of Harlequin Shrimps, this is the second pair as the first pair died because I don’t know what it eats and it won’t eat whatever I gave them.
This pair I believe to be female and male as one of them big and the other one small and seem to always stay close to one another.
I just read about them feeding ONLY on starfish but my this pair has been feeding on Frozen shrimp that was left over by a maroon clownfish(bought a maroon for 5/Ws now but I still put it in Refugium) for a month now.
Is it safe for me to release them in the main Aquarium as I put them in Refugium now?
Will my fishes eat them? I do have a lot of fishes but none of them seem to be picking on any cleaner shrimps I have.
Will they fight with my cleaner shrimps?
Will they eat my starfishs?
Should I or should I not release them, I’d love the idea of them being travels around these corner, that corners. I feel pity for them to just stay in a small Refugium. but releasing them into the main tank would make it a lot harder for to feed them with frozen shrimps. I wouldn’t mind them feeding my stars but I read some star died during feeding and if that happened, it can cause a lot of problem. And as my Refugium is glass tank and has current wave, they do have a hard time on moving, sometime they float as they lose to the waver maker but they doing fine for a month now.
Anyway advices or ideas are welcome.
Thanks in advance.

Did Anyone Have One Of These Growing Up? Tiny Aquarium?

By on Saturday, October 15th, 2011 | 2 Comments

I remember sometime in the late 90s here were these tiny little aquariums that became popular for a while. I think the whole claim was that you never had to really do anything for them and you could find them on any grocery shelf… Little tiny like… Quart sized containers with tiny plants some glass rocks and what I think were probably white cloud minnows in them… I remember I got one for my 8th birthday… Needless today, the fish didnt survive long.
Anyway, does anyone remember these or what they were called?

What Do You Think Of These?

By on Friday, October 14th, 2011 | 4 Comments

What do you think of these?
Is there anything you would add/subtract from this set up?
2 Gold Gouramis
2 Blue ”
2 Dwarf ”
1 Moonlight ”
1 Pearl ”
3 Yoyo Loaches
3 Banded Kuhli ”
1 Albino bristlenose pleco
1 Emporer ”
1 Leporinus Fasciatus
A few Sunrise Tequilas from my neices old tank
Various baby shrimp (Tiger, Fire, Ghost) Kind of surprised they’ve grown to their size without being eated.
I have a ton of live plants and other hiding spots for them.
I’d just like some seasoned aquarium keepers input. Maybe if you’ve had any of these fish in combination with the others. Only the 1 Blue Gourami is fully grown, everything else is still a juvenile. Did you find any of these species change in behaviour as they age? Plenty of space, each species has kind of staked it’s own area of the tank.
Don’t ask about equipment, I know what I’m doing.

What Are These Tiny Little Brown Bugs?

By on Thursday, September 29th, 2011 | 2 Comments

I’ve got these very, very tiny light-brown bugs on my kitchen counter and by the sink. In fact they’re miniscule in size and they like to crawl in groups underneath my water cup.
I want to know what kind of bugs they are, but more importantly where they’re coming from. At first they seemed to be coming from the kitchen drain, but they seemed to be gathering at the base of the 20 gallon aquarium tonight which made me think they may be coming from under there instead.
I’ve been trying to get rid of them by spraying my counters with an all purpose cleaner and dishrag, but they don’t get the hint. I’ve been fighting them off for a couple weeks now and they just reappear all the time.
Are they an aquarium bug or a kitchen sink bug and how do I get rid of them?!
They’re about the size of the tip of a sewing needle OR a little bit bigger than the size of this period .
Their shape is like this dash -
