Not yet, I just noticed it yesterday and I didn’t have time yesterday to upload it to YouTube. Depending on how late I end up working today I should be able to get it uploaded. Thanks angel!

So I was just watching my fish fry eat and I seen a tiny silver looking worm wiggling it’s way up the side of my tank divider. It was bending itself in a U shape and snapping back real fast to move. It was maybe a bit larger in diameter than a human hair and maybe 1/8 inch long. Anyone know what...

Lack of knowledge and time for me, I really want to set up a reef tank but I have too much to learn first. I also won't mess with that till I get my freshwater tank all done. And somehow I'm drawn to what seems to be nearly impossible and that would be trying to make a planted tank for oscars...

That brings back memories for me, in my teens we had a black lab mixed with something else we named snoop. He was a monster in size that I could never get to stop pulling on walks so instead of letting him tear up my hands one day I decided to get him a long leash and I attached it right below...

I used too 13ish years ago. I had a Yamaha warrior 350. At the time I lived in an area where you could ride them on the roads from your house to where ever you wanted to go riding. Not that is was legal, but the police didn’t bother anyone as long as they obeyed the speed limit and we’re...

I almost forgot, I also want to go to that town that's had that underground coal mine fire for the last 60 years? centralia I think it was? Also sorry for going off topic on you, just excited to talk with someone from Philadelphia.

I started a small tank that way and I know you don't want the ammonia or nitrite to go to high during the cycle or the high levels can become toxic to the bacteria your trying to grow. I believe its best to keep ammonia around 2 ppm and maybe about the same for the nitrite. I avoided water...

Nice! I like that green filter, Ive never seen that done before. I'm assuming on the side of it is a submersible pump to draw the water through it? And on a side note I see your in Philadelphia, I'm in Milwaukee,WI. I seen on one of those food shows that geno's and the other place across the...

11-13 It was a 55 gallon (I believe) with gold fish started by my then step dad that he quickly neglected so I took it over. At first just because it wasn't fair to the fish, not that I actually wanted to, but after awhile I started enjoying taking care of them and watching them grow.

It’s been awhile so I wanted to give everyone an update. Fish are doing amazing, all are healthy and growing really fast, especially the Pleco, he/she has grown probably close to 3 inches in the a little over 2 months. My Oscar that had Popeye is back to normal and doing well. Last week my...

Thanks angel, it’s definitely been a lot better for me! My jacks must have been a bit grumpy with me yesterday because their colors weren’t as deep as before but they still looked great

Sry for the late response angel, life has been crazy. I was actually promoted to management about three months ago and it’s been better for me as far as my back goes but it’s got me working a lot more hours so my life has pretty much been work, fish, supper, some family time, sleep and repeat...

Thanks, actually what I did last time was I broke down and put a garden hose on the pump and used a wet wash cloth (no soap) and scrubbed out the tub to get rid of any soap residues and plugged the tub and drained 25% of my tank into the tub to determine how high 25% is in the tub then I drained...

Just wanted to give everyone an update. My tank seems to have about finished the cycle, my ammonia levels are about undetectable and my nitrites never came up so atm I’m assuming that probably has something to do with the apI quick start. My jack’s are doing great now, they have been doing lots...

Just an update I have had no big change in the fish since my last post. And my jacks are still active. I have kept up with 25% water changes every day and it has kept the ammonia at .25 all other tests are the same as they were. I’m surprised I’m not getting any nitrites yet but I cannot imagine...
