Tried to use my ruler but I lost it in the snow. I need a bloody yardstick to measure this crap!! The shallow areas are knee deep and the drifts are close to hip high. In other words, pretty friggin' deep!!

Here's my 3 newest toys: PTR 91K (16" carbine version) Stag Arms M4 M44 Mosin-Nagant

I know the nitrite is higher than I like but I've never had fish die from a 0.5 reading before. I always use Prime after water changes. There were 10 fish (8 of them were 1" or less and the two gourami's were a little over 2"). There were no white spots, missing scales or any other sign of...

My wife has a 45 gallon tank that has been up and running for about a year now. We came home the other day and noticed that a couple of the fish seemed rather lethargic. The rest were swimming around as normal. Sure enough, they started dying one by one. I immediately tested the water...

Sorry the parents are not for sale, just their fry.

Glad to hear that they're doing good!! Let me know if you are looking for some more!! Now I have to make room for my Greshakei's that just gave birth!

These guys are getting big. I have about 6 that are 2" or so. Only a couple that are about 1/2". The rest are between 1 to 2". They are $2 a piece or $30 for the lot.

My Dempsey pair is killing me! Those two get it on more than a pair of rabbits! I have sold all I can sell to local vendors, so I am putting the last group up for sale. They range from 1/2" to 2" and they're growing rapidly. I have about 20 left. Would prefer not to ship. I'm located in...

It was from research here on this site and the web. It is an educated guess since I'm not going to take him to a vet to fully confirm the presence of hexamita critters. Isn't Levamisole HCI potentially lethal if given in too high a dose? I see the I need to administer .076 of a teaspoon for...

My Malawis are like little puppies when I come up to the tank. My large CA/SA cichlids are hit or miss. When I walk by the tank and don't stop, they scatter and hide. But if I walk up to the tank to feed them, they are super excited. My Flowerhorn hides whenever I come up to the tank as do...

My flowerhorn has been producing white fluffy poop for a while now and he is not eating as aggressively as he used to. I have been treating him with a bath of metronidazole and feeding him medicated pellets, but it does not seem to be working. Any ideas on what else to do?

The only time my xP3 leaked was just after I had cleaned the canister. I had prefilled the canister too high and when I reattached the top, it didn't create a good seal. All I had to do was to take the top off and reattach it. Hasn't leaked since. Unlike my Fluval, I've never had an xP3 blow...

Good job! Although I agree that the skin lacks a lot of nice grain, it does give it a more modern, sleek look. As you now know, you don't need a ton of tools to build a high quality stand that lasts. I only use a handful to tools for my stands and I have a completely stocked workshop in my...

I agree with Mikeandannie, you can't overdo filtration. I always subscribe to the "more the better" theory in that area. Just make sure your return flow isn't too powerful for your fish. As for protein skimmers for freshwater, I don't find them useful and not worth the expense. However, I do...

That looks like a male. A male Dempsey has pointed dorsal and anal fins that form an almost streamlined solid fin with their caudal fin. A female has more blunted dorsal and anal fins. He looks like he should be pretty well colored. The better the water conditions and generally how happy he...

The zero reading did throw me for a bit. The test kit I used is a bit old, so I just grabbed my kit from my other tanks (only a few weeks old) and retested the tank. Here are the readings from that kit: pH = 7.8 ammonia = 0 nitrite = 0 nitrate = 5 The temp of the tank is a steady 80.

My parameters are: pH = 7.8 Ammonia = 0 nitrites = 0 nitrates = 0 The kit I am using is from AP, not those test strips, but the drops and vial kind. My standard maintence routine is 25% water changes weekly like clockwork. I use Prime everytime I change the water. The current stocklist (aka...
