^What he said.

Can't say I've ever seen a 36" motoro... male or female. Usually males only get to about 16-20" maybe a little more from what I've seen, and females bigger but certainly not 36". Nonetheless, no way in a 55 except on the very short term, and I wouldn't try it with EBJD's because they are too...

The general cure-all for odors is new carbon, but as oddball and others are saying, you need to figure out if the odor is waterbourne or originates from some object within the tank. I would recommend stirring the sand bed and rinsing filter pads in tank water to get rid of any stagnant area, do...

And FishOverLivingSpace breaks the tie....

Sounds like he's got a barebones 18 gpd RO unit goin on in there. Not exactly innovation at its best, although the clock is classy:ROFL:.

Probably the issue with the giant gourami, though, is the defined scale size, the semi-elongated body, and the flat dorsal surface. Because he's the closest thing to another arowana in the tank, he's showing him aggression first.

Well, if you care to know, I did 3 15-minute experiments on monday involving the effects of caffeine, ethanol, and NaCl on Daphnia magna's tendencies to linger near shelter while in bright light at room temperature. Ethanol made them seemingly careless, going wherever, whereas caffeine actually...

Pretty irrelevant to the conversation at hand, but thanks for the input. Kyd, that name brought me quite a few useful search results. Thank you kyd, and thank you james haney!

Haha, this is actually a project for the zoology lab at UW-Madison.

I wish you much luck. I wish I could still live at my parents' house while I'm in college. I shouldn't criticize your actions much as I'd do exactly the same thing in your position!:ROFL: I have 40+ tanks, but just don't have the place to set them up right now. The apartment's pretty much...

I don't know if everyone feels this way, or if lakeshore is just really defensive for other people due to low self-esteem or something, but I wasn't trying to be a jerk, and I'm glad to hear that they are going into a 100-gal. I'm not surprised to see that lakeshore is banned after having 9...

Do keep in mind, however, that going to school and working and maintaining a fish room along with your display tanks is a TON of work. Not here to criticize, but I'm in college at UW-madison, work only 20 hours a week, and maintain only 17 tanks, and my study habits suffer BIG time. Keep in...

Hi. I've got a question concerning daphnia and their behavior in nature. For one thing, I'd like to start culturing them for freshwater pipefish food, and for another, I'm designing a lab experiment in which I'll be testing heart rates and changes in anti-predatory inhibitions when Daphnia...

+1 on the lighting. Make it bluer. Its a good idea, that's what I tend to go with in my african tanks. So far so good.

All of the solutions provided will help you raise your 5 piranhas when you get new ones, but the bottom line is that you shouldn't be keeping 5 piranhas in a 30 gal(if that truly is the size of tank that you have), and you should only be putting them in there if you have a larger tank to move...

Its obvious that they're cheaper, but they don't ACTUALLY have a larger surface area than aquarium medias do they? Bioballs I can see, but ceramic rings? ehfisubstrat? I don't buy it... Still obviously the best way to go for a large sump as far as affordability goes, as its obvious that they do...

I once wrestled a great white onto shore with my bare hands.:ROFL: Really, though, when I was probably 5 or 6 years old, my uncles dog jumped on me as I was casting out, and I didn't really see where the line went, but saw it kind of leading to some reed grass at the shore, so I reeled in, and...

I couldn't agree more with Frostyone's comment. Not to bash anyone who has posted in this thread, but as an lfs employee myself, I find that many people, when told they need to buy more things automatically assume they are being taken for a ride. You just need to do a little convincing that...

I think that in general, the only reason parents eat their own fry is if they are fairly confident that if they don't eat them, someone else will, so they might as well retain the nourishment. In a fry tank, usually females are great parents, and at times, males as well. I would wait beyond 2...

How did that sort of fin loss result from a jump? Hope he recovers for you... MELAFIX
