    can i get a diagnosis plz? pale, lethargic salvini

    I have a single salvini chillaxing like a boss in a 54 gal corner tank; his sole tank mate is a tiny 2" pleco that I'm pretty sure hasn't moved in over a year. Salvini is like 5" and I've had him in this tank for over a year as well. I just got back from a 3-week trip in Japan; about a week...

    Never seen before organisms

    those things give me the heebie-jeebs *shudder* i've seen similar smallish things like that swimming in freshwater lakes in the rockies, but i wouldn't know for sure without seeing them reeeeal close if they were the same ones, you know? they had tiny forked tails and two real tiny antennae...

    Do you think fish get bored?

    i think it depends on the fish. surely plecos can't get bored, lol. it doesn't matter if they are in bare tanks, heavily planted tanks, tanks with lots of other fishy friends, all they do is hoover the glass. :) also, i think it's generally the rule that predatory animals of all species are...

    Giving Away a dog...read this first....

    i know, it's ridiculous. there's another one i'm trying to find that is just heartbreaking. it goes on to say stuff like "you think your dog will be adopted because he's special and he does this little thing when he's happy it's just so cute! except i have an entire shelter full of "special"...

    Giving Away a dog...read this first....

    want to read another that will just make you cry? i cry almost every time i read this. i've worked at shelters, and it's true, people just think that a shelter, even a no-kill shelter, is a magical place where you can drop your animal off and the next day it will find it's new perfect home. i...

    tanks smaller than claimed... what are the scams?

    i didn't know the difference that measuring on the inside or outside of a tank made, that's insanity! good to know tho. personally, i also prefer my tanks to be taller than front-to-back depth. i'd think if you wanted to do a tank with fish species that are more territorial vertically then...

    canister or existing overflow/sump system?

    not any particular species. i'd like lighter/brighter color ones. i have a few that i think are beautiful, but i'm sure they're hard to come by in my area, etc. i don't have access to a huge selection, so i think i'll stalk d&g pets and this other shop across town and see if anything unusual...

    canister or existing overflow/sump system?

    i was planning on a cichlid tank, i'm new to bigger tanks and i just want fish that come in a variety of fun colors and some variety in shapes, but won't get too big that i'll have to upgrade real soon. do you think that's okay? and thank you for finally answering my question, i was going on...

    welding pvc pipes?

    yeah i was thinking of the pvc solvent to clean/soften the plastic and then a pvc cement to join them FOREVA! so then yes, i suppose i should go get that is the hose clamp going to be enough to keep the seal between that last grey fitting and the fluval hosing? i'm going to cement all the...
