Anyway, please let us know what colors you are interested in and we will do our best. Be patient for my responses, I homeschool my 3 kids and it often keeps me crazy busy between 1 sophomore, 1 8th grader and teaching my youngest to read (she struggles with it due to her having seizures (due to...

What pictures I have, are pretty bad. Platies, many light orange ones with black tails (a few also have full to partical " Mickey Mouse" marking) and some " rainbow" and some black speckled orange ones and a few blue-black speckled ones with pearly background color. These last color combination...

Do you still have your snails for sale? We are over run by pond snails we got from plants we bought (stupid pond snails are breeding like crazy and starving out our shrimp, corydoras and Pecos even though we are feeding them like crazy.) Heard somewhere that the assassin snails keep the pond...

My kids have lots of young P laties and guppies looking for new homes, they would be happy to sell you some and ship them to you (our first trial of shipping fish, but should be fun). My sons (14 & 16) and daughter (8) got the fish as a 4-H enterpenureship project and are trying to save up for a...

Have you found the female guppies you were looking for yet? My kids are looking to sell some juvenile guppies and P laties. We have lots of 2 to 5 months old guppies (many are 1/2 blacks with assorted tail colors) from their 4-H Enterpenureship project. Could sell you some pretty young female...

Plants will help your tank system thrive, they remove nitrates by using the nitrogen as fertilizer to grow health roots, stems and leaves. Plants also help your tank need water changes less often (and go ahead and add plants asap, they will help with the tank cycling, wait 7-10 days and add the...

Yep, no problem. I will be ordering more myself very soon. In an aside, what area of Oregon are you from? I lived in the Salem area when I was a little girl, then my family moved to the eastern part of the state when I was about 8 yrs old. We were near Hermiston then and they had the neatest...

you are right and it's worth trying saltwater as weed control if you aren't planting flowers or other plants in your graveled area outdoors.

Looking forward to future posts. We have several tanks getting ready to rock n roll with baby guppies at our house too. Had gotten a couple males and 4 or so females at the LFS about 7 weeks ago. But they had just landed in the store and were in pretty rough shape, only 1 male had made it...

In my personal experience keeping guppies and danios together, the danios tended to get a little fin nippy with the big delta tail and other long flowy finned guppies, but they did fine with the little endler/smaller finned type guppies that had less extravagant finnage. Of course that my have...

I would go ahead and add them. One method of cycling a tank call for adding whatever live plants you want to keep several weeks before adding fish. I hesitated for a long while before deciding to get the Marimo moss balls, finally bought some online at Aquarium Co-op while purchasing instant...

Treat him in a net every 2 days with Melafix on a Q-tip on both sides of his body on all his fins, for about 10 days (this is like first aid treatment, unconventional, but it's worked for me on new fish with issues for years), you can treat the tank with it as well, follow the directions for...

You could try it and see if it works. My well water has a lot of minerals in it and if we leave it running in one spot the mineral salts in it kill plants, grass etc. for a couple years. And the road crews apply salt in winter in many states, a lot of the time, the gravel road shoulder has few...

I'm liking my java ferns for rooted plants, supposed to be an easy care plant. My LFS had some nice well rooted java ferns that had been converted to underwater growing and they were making new plants from the roots. I cut them apart for use in multiple tanks and replanted them in my gravel...

If my well water were different, I'd say koi angelfish...but out water is too hard and basic for that. So, patriotic (red white and blue) flame-tail guppies with white or red dumbo ears.
