From what I'm reading in this thread, is it more "common" (for lack of better term :-? ) for them to flare, then not to flare...hehe that is the question? Caper

Well, power was off for approximately 7 and half hours. I put blankets on tanks, so the temp pretty much stayed the same (not winter yet but was cold). Once the power was on I did water change, rinsed out filters (container part that is :-? ) rinsed out the filter media in tank water in bucket. The last time I fed them was yesterday morning (before I read thread). Didn't feed them today (still Sunday here) which I don't do on Sunday anyway. Do you recommend I test tanks over the next couple of days???? Thanks for all your help...very much appreciated as always Caper

How many barbs do you have? Caper

firenzenz, you should have come to Cape Breton, you could have looked me up You think that end of the province is beautiful, you should see here :oops: I'll check out my camera later...thanks for the info. That's funny, I think they have quite a bit of fish in Halifax :lol: :lol: so that will tell you how much we get here, not much variety at all :evil: newfish...haha thanks...never thought that way :lol:

slappers...can't get a generator Caper

Personally, but others please correct me if I'm wrong, if it is getting worse perphaps time to medicate. If you do medicate, don't forget to take out carbon if you use it Caper

I know this has been gone over many times, what to do in power outage. Was trying to look up old posts, this was the first I found. Just a suggestion, maybe a sticky for this would be good?? Anyway, we are supposed to be getting a major storm starting sometime this evening, high winds & rain. Therefore, possibilty of power outage. I understand about the blankets to keep heat in. I did a water change today. 1) If power is out, for what length of time (approximately), would you say is a good time to remove filter from tank (all mine are hang on the back filters). 2) Should the the bio filter be sitting in bucket of tank water? Although, without the movement the bacteria will die anyway, right? 3) What about water changes? How much? How often? Thanks all Caper

Little hard to tell in picture...silver body, black band on tail fin (close to body), "red" eyes...that's them! Tried to get a pic of mine, but don't know how to turn flash off on camera :-? :oops: Caper

Nothing new in the tank is there that he could be getting his fins caught on? Caper

Oh my gosh...they are all swimming in the same direction :lol: :lol: Caper

I had red eye tetras in with guppies one time, yep they did nip fins! Caper

Thanks all ...gee it almost looks like an egg ready to burst Caper

Awesome photos folks Did you see the seahorse eating I know nothing about marine/reef tanks only have seen their beauty. What is the difference between live rock and coral??? :oops: :oops: Caper

In the first pic, it looks like Kristy is peaking around at Mr. Bala Shark :lol: :lol: :lol: diffgirl, the water looks like it has a yellowish hue to it, does it? Is this from the wood if so? Caper

Sorry about the fishies Is your avatar an actual pic of yours? Caper

Sorry about your fishy Caper

Very nice pics How big do they grow? Approximately how big are they now? Caper

In the last pic, is the "white" area actually a part of the seahorse or are they resting on something :oops: :-? Caper

Tubular, that is different...post pics when you get a chance. Caper

Very nice...is he a crowntail???? Don't know anything about bettas. Caper

Sorry about your fish Caper

The only place close to me that sells fish. Over the years, small pet stores opened up, but alas soon closed. There is one small store that opened last year, I think, but they don't sell fish. Caper

Puff my veiltail goldfish lost most of his tail fin (oh, many months ago). After putting my goldfish in a bigger tank, it appeared that the tail started to grow (which could just be a coincidence). Anyway, was looking at him last night & just now, I noticed red streaks in his anal fins. I have't noticed it before but then I as always trying to get a good look at his tail fin. Any ideas about the red streaks, is it possible they are part of his coloring & I never noticed it before? Also, he's been moved into the 10 gallon (at least 3-4 weeks now) because I saw one of the other goldies possibly nipping him. The only other fish in with him are 3 cory's. I'll test the water & post results although I just did a water/cleaning yesterday. Off to test tank..... ammonia - 0 pH - 6.8 nitrates - 10 Caper Caper
