The only thing I'd keep in a nano tank would be shrimp. I just bought a 5.5g tank and 7 Cherry shrimp. Corydoras are too 'big'. Shrimp will do the work and they're fun to watch.

Just an update. The two remaining had cotton mouth. I attached emotion to them without noticing at first. o_O They're in a hospital tank and am treating. Getting better, even eating a little, but not out of the woods yet. Lesson learned for me not to jump to emotional conclusions.

I have/had 3, almost 11" Golden Dojos. Carry, Loe and Murly. I was siphoning water last week, and Murly got his head etc caught in the suction pipe. A few days later, I noticed his flesh was missing, bloodly splotches, exposed 'muscles', white patches, wasn't eating etc.... Long story short...

One of my all time favorites.

Yikes. I have 3 Golden Dojos (Carry, Loe and Murly). May be a fungus? Sorry. I have no answer. I read loaches forum online and someone mention API Fungus Cure.... ?

Assuming this is an owl. Is it? Anyone know its ID?

Just popped back into FL, for a break! Love Cowboy Junkies btw! And, who knew ADFs were into Menage a .... well, maybe I shouldn't say it.

Yeah, it's weird. They're so filled with curiosity, that I've accidentally suctioned them when siphoning, but quickly see it. I think this HOB is powerful, and they couldn't handle the strong pull. The thing I wonder about is why the other fish didn't get sucked up into the tube. The only...

Just a warning. I put another HOB on my 75g. Same as the other (Marineland Biowheel). One morning I found the intake tube had become detached. So, I stuck it back on, but later noticed that Hermione, (one of my female Bettas), had vanished. I searched and couldn't find her anywhere. Then a...

So glad I checked in with FL today!

I used to think mine weren't eating too, and they're in a 75g community. But, they're still alive and healthy. Try the Hikari Micro Pelletts. I suspect they like tiny pellets. I could be wrong about that though.

It's funny, because I posted about my cat drinking tank water months ago and ppl responded how their goats, dogs, etc love to drink it. What do these animals know that we don't?!

Set out a bowl of tank water. Mine hates tap water. So do my house plants and tank plants!!

I set out two new bowls a few minutes ago. One has tank water and the other has rain water. Tank water won! I love my 20 yr old man!

Mine loves tank water too! I keep fresh tank water in a bowl on the floor, right by the tank.
