Does a moss wall have to be trimmed as it grows? Caper

I wish I could. Now I know why 2 were so chummy. 2 in little cave like ornament, 1 hiding outside nestled into a spot. Caper

Ok, panic is over :oops: :lol: I've decided to let mother nature decide. I do believe in taking care of your pets. But I don't have any place or resources to handle a lot of baby fishies. I thought I had 3 of the same sex. I wasn't sure if it was male or female but they all looked the same :-? Thanks all Caryl, isn't it give "peace" a chance :lol: :lol: Caper

I don't have room for any! Caper

Oh my gosh...I just did a fast browse on the internet...if they are well fed they usually leave them alone! AND they can have 100-300 eggs within hours...is each white spot an egg????? Caper

I just posted a pic in the freshwater section...apparently there are eggs from my cories on the back wall of my tank. I do NOT want baby fishies...what can I do! I can't believe this has happened OH OH OH NOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Caper

OHHHHH NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO...I don't want baby fishies...having a panic attack...nnooooooo! Caper

This is my 10 gallon tank. It only has 3 peppered cory in it. Sorry about the quality of the photo...this is one of the tanks that has gone cloudy and I don't know how to turn the flash off on my camera :-? I just turned my lights on and there are all these little white "things" on the back wall of the tank! HELP! Caper

Thanks David...what beautiful fish! Caper

I like :lol: :lol: :lol: I've never been in this section before...scared I'd see snakes! But, I've seen some very interesting pics! Caper

Any pics of him??

Oh my gosh, oh my gosh What beautiful fishies Well trained to get their pics taken too They are amazing...what is the one in the fifth picture down (the first set of pics) I''ve never seen one so colorful, he/she is gorgeous. Caper

The white/grey thing is that a snail??? :-? Caper

Which fish, your new one? Caper

It really does look beautiful Is that one fish? What is to the right of him(them)? You always take great pics Billaney Caper

Ira Mine do sometimes after a water change...but it usually clears within a couple of hours or so. Cleaning filters: -every 2 weeks change the filter that has the carbon in it -once a month (occasionally a week or 2 more) I take them apart & give them a good cleaning while doing the monthly maintenance the bio filter(s) sit in the last bucket of water I removed from the tank Water changes: -water changes: usually weekly (although on occasion is has been longer, but that is rare) 29 gallon tanks - 27 liters; 10 gallon, 9 liters (I'm lousy at metric, I know the liters by the markings on the bucket :-? :oops: ) Yep, use a gravel vac Oh my gosh, I just tested my tanks...the ammonia in the goldies tank was 1. I have had my tanks over 2 years now & it is the first time this has happened. I immediately did a 50% water change. Any ideas as to why this could have happened????? Nothing new in the tank other than a couple of artificial plants, they hadn't been used in quite awhile but I rinsed them really well. So, what makes an established tank's ammonia to go up???? Caper

alan Ah...I'm only asking about the carbon Caper

That's it...that's all it does Okay then, one of my filters uses Whisper filter cartidge, you just pour the carbon into a white, oh shoot....oh my can't think what you call it :evil: , anyway easy to stop just don't put it in. But the other 2 filters have the carbon on the back of the blue filter (sorta like the same unnamed material as the other one). So, I guess I could just break the plastic & shake it out. Sound right??? Caper

Ohhh... I like them, they are pretty Caper

Golly gee Smidey...that was quite an explanation. I still think that most of you folks in New Zealand are scientists Caper

I am a little confused :-? :-? , now that's a shock :lol: :lol: It appears that the overall opion on carbon...is NOT to use it. But I don't understand, I thought it was a form of chemical filtration (might be using wrong term here) that was needed in tanks???? So, I'm wondering if I should stop using it. Caper

Dixon...is the fish inspecting the tank for you???? :lol: Caper

Just flakes, with the exception of last night & tonight algae discs. I don't feed my fish on Sundays & usually the goldies get their peas on Monday. But they haven't had them in a couple of weeks or more, I keep forgetting to get them when I get groceries :-? Oh, and last Saturday cucumber (put in at night, took out next day before cleaning tank). Funny you should mention pellets. I picked up shrimp pellets for the first time tonight. But as usual, wanted to check with you folks as far as feeding with them. Caper
