    Geos as tankmates for polys.

    no fish is a clean up crew. only adding to the waste. crayfish are one of the exceptions. not in terms of "cleaning" but they get rid of feeder remains that would otherwise rott in corners of the tank. i used to have a small gang of them as a "bottom filter" for my feeder tank. after catching...

    Bichirs & Dovii?

    ahh i remember the "tank too small" famous quote. i used to say that all the time too. well, the poor guy was actually trying to sell that dovii, he's had it for almost 2 years now so maybe i'll help him get rid of it first?? in that case, what about just the bichir? i see 30" ansagorri online...

    walmart scanner = fish death ray?

    all life has certain biotype. unless said scanner can disrupt vital functions on all living things that have cell walls, seeing that it can't harm humans who are even closer than a fish in a bag to the radiation, it can't do squat. this is just hippy/pita conspiracy again. HR669 crap.

    What percentage of the world's water does MFK possess?

    This thread is funny. the quantity of water on earth is always the same. unless it can escape through the ozone which it never does. when it evaporates, condenses, and falls, its just being relocated. it never actually can go away.

    Has fishkeeping ever ruined a relationship?

    as do you. this is a problem that has become far too personal to be worth continuing on mfk. your on your way to depression too if you try to hard to muscle this situation out. your being dragged from a rope on the back of a pickup at this point. the longer you hold onto it, the longer you'l...

    Has fishkeeping ever ruined a relationship?

    for you it should be plenty of time. but he's obviously not rationalizing it the same way. like i said, a time constraint. its clear that 2 hours (or however much time he spends down there) isn't enough for him. I edited my post a bit. im not where your at so its impossible to know, but based...

    Has fishkeeping ever ruined a relationship?

    i just spotted a fragment of the true problem in what you said. "i stay up just to spend time with him, but i often go to bed he could start talking about fish". you seem to be deprived of time. your staggered shifts don't work out well emotionally for you, no matter how technically they work...

    walmart scanner = fish death ray?

    BS. otherwise fish wouldn't make it out of the 3+ airports they originally went through to reach some stores, duh.

    Has fishkeeping ever ruined a relationship?

    you've created your own monster in other words. if he won't give you the attention you deserve, let someone else give it to you. if he has turned into a fish and forgot about being a husband, you two may very well be no longer the same species and cannot mate properly. apparently he loves his...

    an entire web page about how to eat your favorite fish.

    your in hong kong. don't forget people in different areas have totally different views of exotic. i could NEVER obtain any of these fish in hawaii. and alot of the mainland USA has to pay alot of money for some. and who would eat a wolf fish when you can keep one??? In hawaii, wolf fish and...

    Diablo red arowana sick

    wrong. any temp change happening in the tank is getting sucked into the filter and changing the temperature in there just as much. freshly aquired water is much cooler than tank water. the extreme changes of water parameters and drop in temperature alone, cycling through your filter is enough to...

    1000 gallon tanks

    sorry to resurrect an old thread. but just trying to catch up from while i was away. we had a medium catfish about 2 feet long (idk what kind), several Jardinis and several large chiclids (a dovii, some rescued oscars, texas, and a couple others i can't id). roughly 10 fish or so. it looked...

    New Show on Animal Planet..."Tanked"

    actually, my old college has an acrylic tank... a 500 gal. the things a mess just from time. 1000000 scratches from being wiped and just age. and i hate how it distorts the view when you walk up to it. its not the same kind of distortion from the scenery moving forward when you walk up to a...

    Has fishkeeping ever ruined a relationship?

    get off this forum a bit. i actually phased out of the forum and the longer your off, the less you will be prone to going on. like me. i have downsized my fish collection to just the 125 and 55. (10 and 30 underneath for feeders/growers/hospital). and will not buy more fish unless i sell the...

    an entire web page about how to eat your favorite fish.

    http://www.geocities.jp/oda230/egofishing.html from an asian/(japanese in this case) perspective, its common acceptance that almost anything can be considered food. while we pay 100s to buy some of these fish, they are showing us how to eat them. lol this guy in particular went to the amazon...

    New Show on Animal Planet..."Tanked"

    they will eventually make the show about drama within the company, boyfriends, girlfriends, add some hot women to work there to make even more drama... etc. by then the show will be completely dead. and by then i mean next year at the longest. this is how all one-theme shows come and go. and...

    i bought a knife. identify please.

    no, its not an aba aba for sure. my knife is similar, but its skin is brown with some stretch-mark looking stripes along its sides. it has a very flat face. almost the same kinda face as a swamp eel. found the CLOSEST thing i could find to it. (might be the same species, but with knives, who...

    New Brown Knife

    its being stressed, when it blackens it just means the water isn't (exactly) agreeing with your knife's internals. although not immediately serious at all, it would be good for the lifespan of your fish to adjust it accordingly.
