How Do You Eat Healthy Without Gagging?

By on Thursday, August 18th, 2011 | 4 Comments

I was just now eating for dinner a big bowl of vegetable stir fry with broccoli, carrots, snowpeas, mushrooms, etc. Its good, it really is…. but if you just start on a strict diet… and you have to eat all that… it makes me feel a little quizzy. How do you eat really strictly healthy veggies and fruit and protein, meat fish, etc. without feeling kinda sick to your stomach. I think this is common when you just start though.

Fish Tanks Without Filters….?

By on Wednesday, June 15th, 2011 | 7 Comments

So I went to a hole-in-the-wall aquarium store yesterday. This place has been there for 40 years (though I never knew about it until now). A little old Asian (Not sure if he’s Japanese or Korean…name makes me think Japanese, looks make me think Korean…but it doesn’t matter anyways) man about 70-80 years old runs the place. He doesn’t believe in using filters. I looked through his tanks and not one of them had an actual filter on it. What I thought were undergravel filters were in fact just tubes with an air stone inside. No undergravel filters even! Each tank had loads (about 4-5″ worth) of smaller sized gravel in it (enough to create some anerobic bacteria at the bottom), loads of plants (mainly moss/algae/duckweed), and several fish in each. He had approximately 30 fish (guppies/tetras) in one 10 gallon tank. It didn’t look like the gravel had been syphoned in AGES (probably the full 40 years), but the water itself looked crystal clear and each of the fish were doing great.
I’m just curious how this was achieved. I would have thought that maybe he just doesn’t have problems because the fish don’t last too long in there. Well, the customers that came through in the hour I was there all bought saltwater fish, and a few of the freshwater fish looked large compared to the newer smaller guys of the same species. So they’ve probably been in the tanks for a while.
Any one else ever heard of keeping fish like this in this day and age? Sure, I can understand the “what did people do before, without electricity” question, but I also don’t know how long fish in the past would last in tanks.
If you have heard of this, or even achieved this, mind teaching me how to start? I’m very intrigued. All of this goes against my belief, but I’d like to know more about this.

How To Feed My African Dwarf Frog Without The Mess..i Will Not Feed Them Excessive Freeze-dried Food Or Flakes?

By on Thursday, May 5th, 2011 | 1 Comment

Im having to put far too much stress on my fish by cleaning the water constantly, id say 25 percent a day :( . This PH variation cant be good for them.
I Hand feed them with long tweezers frozen blood worms, frozen brine shrimp, and i try to get them to eat shrimp pellets or freeze dried blood worms occasionally.
However, i have small gravel and it just sits there..And they are not very active about finding it..
I got a heater today thinking maybe itll speed their metabolisms up. They are in a ten gallon tank aquarium that is filtered, but still when the food hits the water only a small bit is taken from the tweezers and the rest floats up to the top and then sinks back down to the rocks.
This is a problem because my betta fish is pretty PH sensitive ..and the change in PH from the food in the rocks makes him sick (white spots) Im considering a terra cotta plate but im not sure how big of one to get and how to switch them over from putting it right in front of their faces to on a small incaved dish..I also dont want the 2 frogs fighting in the plate over food. Thanks.

My ten gallon aquarium looks empty. What type of fish can I ‘safely’ add to what I have without overcrowding?

Question by Peachy: My ten gallon aquarium looks empty. What type of fish can I ‘safely’ add to what I have without overcrowding?
Currently have a filter for a 20 gallon tank on our ten gallon, so water is CLEAN and I think we could safely add something. We have two male fantail guppies, one betta named Juliet (might be a male…but if so, it is SMALL), three tiny cory catfish. The thing is, at any time if you just glance over at the tank, it looks completely ‘empty’ other than the live plants…everyone seems healthy, just that the catfish hide out and are bottom dwellers, the betta isn’t all that active and either is at the top in one corner or the bottom in one corner…what can i add safely that is compatible with these fish and ACTIVE and not shy…and won’t just hang out at the bottom or hide? Don’t have a heater and would rather not if possible…also don’t have an airstone…Juliet does better without that and the 20 gallon filter already moves the water around a bit as it is.

Thoughts? I hate that it looks empty. Visitors come and say “hey….what happened to your fish?” because you have to really look to find them…it looks so empty.
Thanks everyone…you’ve talked me into an aquarium heater. I think what I am going to do is not add any fish and just put in a heater for a week or two and see if that ‘perks up’ the fish I already have. It’s a small aquarium and I don’t want to overcrowd it. Thanks again.
