  1. Bridget just pulled one about the same width out of the garden today. Not as long though.

    Best snail eater?

    Brazillian Puffers.
  3. Ok, that would have been the last think I thought you meant by chinchiller. Sign me up for two cute, fluffy fish, please. :lol:
  4. I don't think the blue rams are agressive specifically towards glowlights. They're just moderately territorial like most cichlids.

    Hmmm...Maybe it was not faulty to begin with?
  6. Bristlenoses stay pretty small, cories even smaller.
  7. A single guppy, from the looks of it.
  8. Huh...Interesting, don't see any mention of filtration or heating. Though, maybe that's the "Water cycle device" and the pic makes it kind of look like it must have a heater... If it was bigger it might make a good nano tank.

    Yank the ballast, go to a good electrical place, I'd be surprised if it's more than like $15.
  10. Giant danios, if your sharks aren't big enough to eat the small ones you'll get at the fish store before they grow? Similar behavior in a lot of ways to the sharks, but look different. Otherwise just about any SA cichlid would probably work be fine, silver sharks are usually too busy racing around to worry about being aggressive.
  11. Try 40 leaves, I'd be surprised if 4 had a measurable effect.
  12. I've discovered that my biggest problem with fish dying off quickly appears to be due to not acclimatising them properly. I'd have thought an hour or two would be good enough. Last couple batches I've done about 5 hours and had 0 deaths.
  13. At one place I worked one of the managers had a goldfish bowl sitting on their desk. It hadn't had a water change in ages, half the water had evaporated, it was all murky and disgusting. So I set up a Gmail account "[email protected]" And sent them an email saying, "We have been advised of a goldfish in your care that is being neglected. If you do not begin regular water changes and taking proper care of your goldfish personnel will be sent to have it removed from your care for its protection." Next day the bowl was cleaner and full of water.
  14. No...There is a site out there with a very indecent chocolate cake. There is a LOT wrong with it.
  15. Best way? Move the contents of the 100 into the 120, move the contents of the 60 to the 100. You basically should not need to cycle the tanks.
  16. I'm more of the opinion that more and larger water changes keeps the water more stable and clean. Keeps it more stable with your water supply rather than whatever your tank contents and inhabitants end up turning it into with their contaminants.
  17. When I was in the US I talked to a nurse at the hospital who was talking about how his goldfish keep dieing. I asked him how often he changes his water and what kind of filtration it has? "What do you mean change the water?" *Facepalm*
  18. If your test kit is saying there's ammonia in the water then you're not changing too much. Especially if you're doing a little change like 10%/day that's barely worth worrying about. 25-50%/day should be fine.
  19. You might end up with a bit of a pair of spotlights effect with just two on a 6 foot though.
  20. And that's probably a DIY setup. Last time I saw a retail one it was going for $2000 and still produced less than half the lighting intensity of the lights it was supposed to replace.
  21. It's a pesticide. Symptoms of human exposure are anxiety, hair loss, premature aging, loss of driving skills and subconscious herding behavior with other exposure victims
  22. That sounds like a very much not automatic system.
  23. Not without a heater and filtration, no. It will die and just be dead rock.
  24. Forget Apocalypse, play the original or TFTD again.
