    4 year old Giraffe cat suddenly sunken eyes help!

    I hate to be the bearer of bad news but I don't think the eye issue is the first issue. This fish seems to have growths on the head and dorsal area as well as some kind of infection on the flanks. I don't know if just the pic, but the tail seems to have an issue along the back edge as well...

    PVC tubes under gravel to remove debris

    Nice. You could always structure the wood to become a barrier if you looking for a more natural look. Fill in any holes along the bottom where gravel falls out with black sponge pieces, rocks or smaller pieces of wood.

    My Paludarium

    Share a pic or two. Or even a link to your thread. I try to make projects the students are interested in. That way passion based learning gets the intrinsically interested in learning for learning not for scores. Also, instead of a written test, parts of this build are incorporated into the...

    Fish Room in Garage

    Looks like a fun project. Many enjoyable, and quite a few flat out demoralizingly head-scratching, hours ahead. But the journey is an awesome one.

    Roach's Fishroom Nest

    I do not doubt that. They seem to scavengers to a degree. The most success I have had with them is on homemade food. High in dark greens and packed full of protein including a small punnet of shrimp.

    Roach's Fishroom Nest

    Yeah. Like when a kid tells you they are 9 and a half. Being a biology and science teacher has its perks. This is Taiwan. We are on the rim of the Ring of Fire. These houses need to withstand some moving and shaking. Across the river about 400m away is a fault line. But all houses are supposed...

    Roach's Fishroom Nest

    Thanks. I am going to hazard a guess and say they were not feeding on poop but rather on bacteria and microorganisms growing on it and the surfaces of the tank. The fry need a lot of protein but the adults do need vegetable matter to assist in digestion and getting that protein through. I have...

    Birding!

    I am not an avid birder or even a hobbyist level ornithologist, but growing up in the bush I have a profound love of uncaged birds, and non-invasive birds. A few of my favorite birds in no particular order are : Pics not mine! African Hoepoe Shoebill - the lungfish eater Bee eaters...

    Nano fish suggestions?

    I kept these little guys and loved them! Schismatogobius ampluvinculus Need small live foods though. I kept them with a small trio of Scarlett Badis in an 8gal tank. Really enjoyed that tank.

    PVC tubes under gravel to remove debris

    This is how many guppy breeding racks in Asia are designed. Each of my 18 tanks has a ball valve below the UGF plate for that exact reason. Easy draining of built up mulm and detritus.

    PVC tubes under gravel to remove debris

    I am not sure it is replicating a UGF completely as those tend to hold the mulm/debris in the gravel waiting to be vacuumed out. With the size of the gravel, the waste will essentially be drained through the pores, into the outlet and on to a better life outside the tank.. If you are looking at...

    ID?

    I have kept all my syciopterus and stiphodon in tanks with nice algae covered rocks. if you don't have, put some rocks in covered transparent container outside in the sun for a few days. Seed it with tank mulm and let nature go ape. Syciopterus seem to be a lot more aggressive than stiphs but...
