Ya all of that makes sense... so really it depends on the fish and where it likes to hang out... so you would have to do all top dwellers or all bottom dwellers is what I’m getting from this and they would also not have to grow so tall

does the depth of a tank matter as much as the water volume and the quality of the water? Let’s say for a RTC or an arowana. Is tank depth as important as water volume? Say I had a tank that was 9 feet long by 8 feet wide by 12 inches deep would that be a big enough water for either of those...

The fish arrived dead unfortunantely and although I asked for a replacement fish they just refunded me.

Thanks for all the advice

So I’ve run into a dilemma... my TSNxRTC catfish grew quicker than expected and needs a bigger home within the next month. I have a 1300 gallon pond but we’re coming to the coldest part of winter and the pond gets down to about 45 Degrees Fahrenheit at night. So I’ve been trying to think of ways...

Also if somebody could explain to me why they would ship my fish from California to Kentucky then back to California where I live?

So I ordered a fish from LiveAquaria for the first three me this week and some unfortunate events have happened. Only one of the fish I ordered shipped. It is an African butterflyfish. It was supposed to arrive yesterday when I received a call and found out it was delayed and should arrive...

So I bought a TSNxRTC hybrid and let’s just say they grow extremely quick... quicker than I thought. I bought him in September when he’s was around 3 in long... I figured I’d grow him out for my 1300 gallon pond and he’d be ready to go in it by spring... when I was going to put in a heating...

I mean I’d like to give it a try anyway. For right now I’d be breeding kribs.

So I’ve decided I want to start breeding fish for some profit so that I can make some money back from the hobby. I’m going to breed dwarf cichlids and I’m going to use a racking system all connected to one sump. In total the system without the sump is about 220 gallons. Would a 55 gallon sump be...

Unfortunately I can’t keep gar in California

Hehe funny

Cool thanks for all the replies. I was worried about the CO2 displacement in the water.

Yeah that’s what I was thinking. How ever my science teacher told us that the dry ice can’t actually get wet because the gas coming off of it doesn’t allow it to. He showed this by putting it in dyed water then taking it out and showing how the dye did not stain it. So I don’t know if the...

So today I was sitting in science class and my science teacher dropped so dry ice into a beaker of water and it bubbled and created steam and it looked pretty cool. Since I was pretty bored I started thinking about dry ice and then saw how it bubbles pretty well and I wondered to myself how that...

I have an albino channel cat about 12” long. Put him in my 100 gallon tank for the winter he’s usually in my 1300 gallon pond. Well I had one of those Cichlid stones in there and he decided to ram himself into it. I couldn’t pull him out because of the dumb spikes in his fins. So I took the...

So I built a pond that holds about 1300 gallons of water. Its dimensions are 11 feet long by 8.5 feet wide and about 2 feet deep. I haven't been able to decide what I want to stock it with. I was wondering if anybody has any suggestions? I was thinking exotics but I want something that is going...

So I want to get into keeping some monster fish... I currently have a 150 gallon tank to grow them out in and then I can transition them to my 1300 pond and if they outgrow that I have a friend who said he would take them off my hands for me( he has three 7,000 gallon systems). I’m interested in...

Thanks for all the suggestions... I thought about shooting it but decided that wasn’t wise since I’m in A residential area... so I made my pond larger and I am going to try to see if a varmint net works.

Recently I’ve been haveing trouble with raccoons getting into my pond and eating my fish... all of my fancy goldfish and koi have been eaten and I’m left with guppies and minnows. Does anybody know the most inexpensive yet effective way to keep the animals out of my pond that aren’t supposed to...
