    Exotic plecos & Hondurans - Charlotte NC

    they're actually on the reasonable side for what we get in the stores here, plus it's hard to find exotic plecos at all. i saw a papa panaque in a store here once - it was $70 and half the size of the ones i have. well, i'll consider offers, and i'll do a discount if anyone buys multiple fish.

    gills

    ammonia? nitrite? nitrate? water change schedule? what size tank? what fish and how many? what does the gill plate look like - red, white, cottony, slimy. . . . without more information it's like calling the doctor and saying "my finger hurts?" and then expecting him to give a complete...

    dead fish float or sink?

    usually they will sink. if they died from a swim bladder problem or have been dead in the tank too long they will float. missing fish will either be on the floor, in the filter, eaten by other fish, or stuck inside whichever decoration you've already checked 3 times. you're cycling with fish...

    ghost shrimp

    i wouldn't worry about quarantine, but it's not a bad idea to keep them separate for a few days and gut-load them with some better food. i assume these are feeders?

    EMERGENCY!!!

    did you collect the wood yourself or buy it? usually wood is kept on the lowest shelves in the LFS, especially big pieces. down there near the floor they get covered in dust, dirt, cleaning chemicals, and pesticides.

    heaters inside the tank(s) keep the temperature stable, and you can also add heaters at other points in the system.

    Gravel removal and Replacement

    ^ i agree. get a pile of it in the python and then let it drop into a net or plastic container. that way it is being cleaned as you take it out and there will be a minimum amount of debris that gets into the water.

    Python or Aqueon water changer/gravel cleaner?

    the only thing i would suggest with the python is getting a brass adapter for the faucet instead of just using the plastic adapter. i really like having that, and since i just leave it on the sink it looks better than the plastic too. the venturi's (i guess the green stem piece) do break after a...

    feeder goldfish vs pinkies

    neither - pinkies have mammalian fats that fish are not able to properly digest (as already stated above) but goldfish are low in nutrients, very fatty themselves, and also contain an enzyme - thiaminase - that will inhibit your p's from absorbing the proper amount of vitamin B, which can lead...
