    Any tips on balancing fish keeping time, family time, and work?

    It is always a balance. I have three times the tanks and more gallons all the way around and spend less time. I had to slowly get less demanding species and lower stock numbers through attrition and reality checks of my true time. I decided not to feed the very best fresh food more then one time...

    Added the Rainbow Trout to the Koi tank!

    Not a good combo. Trout are aggressive cold water nervous fin nipping scale eating fish. They require a great deal of oxygen water flow etc. this will totally stress and then kill the koi. This does not include the potential pathogens from the trout that the koi are not use to.

    Plant only filtration (why not popular in the hobby???)

    What you have is a planarian going. Three tanks of mine are planarians 10 never ever do water changes with light bio-load just move water and when the sponges get clogged that protect the motor I squeeze them out. I add plant fertilized 1 time per month and keep latorite to keep PH up. 12...

    Sick fire eel

    Fire eels like a ph of around 6 to a max of 7. The temp should not stay above 82 for long. They like quiet con specifics and fine sand for a substrate. They are scales fish so they scratch easily and develop fungus. Do not put much salt in as these guys do not like it. They are not active during...

    Sick fire eel

    Still would like to know the actual water parameters. Eels can also get fungus from scraping on decor that is rough. They prefer more acid ph as these guys get bigger. How big is your tank?

    Why the long face...

    Camel meat was served to us on a tour in northern Africa. It is a bit gammy and almost sweat. To me it was almost like a cross between bear and sheep in flavor.

    Getting soaked by your fish

    I have had particular goldfish always splash me when I come near their tanks. Now I have two large black spot eels that like to splash me to get my attention when they are hungry.

    please id my tiretrack eel

    It is definitely a black spotted eel I have two. They are terrific. They eat directly from my baster and they get along with everything so far. I have had them for three years and they are both about 15 inches.

    fancy goldfish tankmates.

    I have my fancys with spiny eals. and male bristle nose plecos. Fancys prefer it a bit warmer then single tailed goldfish. My singles are held at a low of 70. I know they can go lower but then you can get digestion issues. Fancys get to a 12" body so a 75 cannot hold more then about 3 or 4 when...

    I got my first 2 Discus

    Darter is right plus discus should never be kept with only two. Like angels and other cichlids they are aggressive with one another. They should be kept with at least 5, 10 is better. One will always end up dominate and with no where to spread the aggression it will beat up others until they...

    White Sturgeon

    I have read that they actually slow their growth with out being stunted according to the conditions/limitations they are in. Az aquatics has them spawning at 2 feet as that is all the bigger they will get in some of the pools they keep them in. I just wanted an actual home aquarium albeit large...
