Nice tank and plants...cool dragons...but... ...you say it's been two years, right? I'm pretty sure it would be legal now to remove the warranty sticker on that tank. It's not like it's a mattress...

I'm not a betta guy...but I must say that is one of the healthier-looking bettas I've seen on Fishlore. Nice fish.

Catching the fish should be easy with an umbrella net mounted on a long handle. Put it in, leave it until the initial panic subsides, scatter some food on the surface above the net and then lift up when as many fish as possible are over the net. Even a smaller model, say about 4 x 4 feet, will...

Wow. I generally like snails, and don't consider them to be pests as they are often called...but that tank creeps me out a little.

Never been there in person but have ordered livestock online; very satisfied with everything about the deal. They seem to specialize in inverts and nano-fish. I wouldn't hesitate to buy from them again.

Have you tried Shrimp Fever in Scarborough, Ontario?

Most shops that sell frozen fish foods will have frozen Silversides; small, elongated fish that look like emaciated bait minnows. Just about any predatory fish will love them, and they are very easy and convenient to use.

Yes, I was not referring to any one particular poster here but rather the generality of aquarists with an aversion to water changes. I don't doubt that it is possible...almost anything is...but until it is completely understood and repeatable on demand, I simply prefer not to experiment on live...

This all sounds far too simplistic to be believable. Yes, the plants utilize the waste produced by the fish, and so trimming/pruning/removing plant matter is reducing some undesirable elements in the tank. But there are a host of complex organic compounds coming out of the rear end of those...

Ingenious! Worlds ahead of leaving the water running to draw the waste water back into the sink. I'm having one of those "why didn't I think of that?" moments...

I usually use 2 inches minimum, with the front piece overlapping the sides and bottom so 3/4 inch is lost all the way around. That still leaves plenty of bearing surface for the glass/silicone/wood layers. I would cut the glass size so as to leave a gap of about a half inch all the way around...

Not really. I have built a number of 360gallon tanks over the years (8×3×2 feet) that have all functioned without problems for many years. I just recently learned that one of them has been in continuous service since about 1990 and is still plugging along. Probably been resealed once or...

It's a tank made of plywood. Sorry, couldn't resist. It's essentially a box made of 3/4 inch exterior grade plywood, with a large viewing window cut out of one or more sides. The interior is sealed with one of a variety of products, a pane of glass is siliconed into the view port and then...

My favourite tank size...because it is the maximum size you can build out of one 4x8 sheet of plywood. Big enough to "feel" big, small enough to be easy to build for one person working alone. I know it wasn't one of the choices you mentioned, but consider a plywood tank. One this size is...

I hope you aren't explaining that to me, because I am already in 100% agreement with you. If an action is needed, then a person's unwillingness or inablility to do it makes no difference to the necessity. Life is hard.

I don't use a Python since I haven't sufficient water pressure to operate one, and certainly can't profligately throw away my well water in any case...so I probably have no business butting in here...but... ...surely there is more to the construction of the Python fitting than merely a...

That's the gist of it, right there. The world is "ableist" to the Nth degree; we all have things we have difficult doing, or simply cannot do. When I read about a motorcycling trip (can't do it anymore, and miss it intensely), or watch a water skier (that's not happening for me anymore...

Probably sooner. This sort of torture is disgusting.

No experience with that particular species, but I'll bet it will pick out one favourite lair and use it almost exclusively. The coconut shell idea came from some old European aquarium books. I don't recall what prep they required, probably just removal of all interior contents but not sure. I...
