The Petsmarts around here seem to be fairly nice. They have some fish in stock that I wouldn't expect from them...Angelicus and Yoyo botias, nice lookin baby sailfin plecos (the real ones, gibbeceps), and a few here and there that are outside the norm. Tanks are all clean and healthy, and most...

The best tank I ever had was a 55gal. in college. It was a large barb tank with 5 aurelius barbs, 5 clown barbs, 3 green tiger barbs, 2 red tiger barbs, 3 black ruby barbs, albino sailfin pleco, 2 dwarf giraffe cats and those were the main inhabitants. Here's the kicker. I had a floating...

I have 3 red hooks (~3-4 inches long) in my 30 gal. tank and I must be lucky, cuz when I walk up to the tank, they come to see me immediately (feeding time on their brains). They do jump however when something is placed on the countertop where the aquarium is set up on. You can try to lightly...

Red Hooks rock and I like your rare ones, they super rock! Here's a few pics of my hooks...

4 days should be cake for them. Before you leave, just feed them about twice as much as you normally do. Anything that falls to the bottom will be scavenged and then they will be good to go for an extended period.

Just get with your buddy one day, buy some wood, and make a top for the tank. Give it solid sides and a swing up hinged door or side by side doors and an eggcrate back that you can remove. We did that all through college, and got pretty good at it after the first 3-4, hehe. By the 5th-last...

Aqua Clear's last a loooong time. I have had the same 2 Aqua Clear 200's running for about 15 years. The flexibility of what you can do with them is great. If you want 2 foam blocks instead of 1, have at it. If you want a bag of charcoal and an anti-ammonia bag as well, you can. They are...

I agree with what was said earlier. Its much different to feed fish to other fish that are eaten whole. Feeding large goldfish that you know are not going to be able to be eaten all in one swallow is somewhat cruel. If you are out in nature, thats one thing, you can say, well thats the way it...

In the immortal words of Hi-C..."Oh YEHHHH!" I love tetras because just about anywhere you go to buy fish, 60% of the time you can find some odd ball fish that find their way into the shipments of more popular ones (besides Petsmart, I don't know who sends them their shipments, but I have yet...

I became obsessed (like most of us I am sure) and searched and searched until I think I solved my own mystery. I found the closest thing to it, if not it being them. Brachychalcinus orbicularis, aka Discus Tetra:

This post is old, but I googled 'counterfeit silver dollar tetra' and this post appeared on the list. I just bought 3 of them from one of the local fish stores but they were called Counterfeit Silver Tetra and look slightly different from the pic that is posted on this thread. They are similer...

I used to work at a fish store during my college days back in the late 80's to early 90's (Fish Pros of Raleigh, NC). I was always on the lookout for 'oddball' fish that came with our regular shipments when one day I noticed 3 lil cats in a shipment of synodontis cats. Well I scooped them up...
