My dwarf puffer will only eat baby brine shrimp. Her previous owners had success with blood worms but she went 2 weeks without me seeing her take a bite. She got so skinny. I now feed a batch of BBS daily from my hatchery and she's plump and happy. She has never shown aggression toward her 40...

Beg, borrow or steal a true straight edge at least as long as your tank. I use a 6 foot level. Ask a local aquarium club and surely someone will assist you. Put the tank on its side (end) on a solid surface and check the bottom for straightness on all 4 edges. If the tank isn't true within a...

Update: Skinny gorged on daphnia for 4 days in the 10 gallon hospital tank. I watched the aggressor in the display tank closely, he would feed until full then prevent other fish from eating. So I netted Bluto and put him in the hosp. tank with (no longer) Skinny. Skinny was not aggressive but...

Northern Alberta.

A few I've taken over the years. A jumping spider, some poop because what's more "nature"?, Northern Hawk owl, Woodland Caribou bull, nicest mule deer I've ever seen and a Green Heron.

Ah. Roll call. I get it now.

What role are we calling for?

I've read that even dwarf puffers can be nippy. I've had Snoop, a grown 1" female, since I started my tank. She's as gentle and unaggressive as a platty. They have really individual personalities.

Hey, if you stop the voting now it'll be an easy decision.

Whew. Skinny hung low in the hospital tank for a couple of minutes. I grabbed a scoop of a 100+ daphnia and put them in the tank and Skinny is gorging on them. Another thing I just noticed: in the display tank Skinny was more pale than the others and kept his fins close to his body. As soon as...

One of my 4 clouded archers is low on the pecking order when it comes to feeding time. It is about 1/4" smaller than the other 3. It will always defer to another archer. I have managed to feed so much that the 3 are visibly full and the one eats maybe 1 cricket every few days and has stopped...

Fish? A few days at most. A platty took to the interior of a large ornament as its personal condo. An Amano shrimp went missing for nearly a month. When I removed the baskets from the FX6 and about to dump the water in the toilet he caught my eye.

Mostly, I'd like to see staff that say things such as: "That's a good question! I'm not as up on that topic as X, who is in the back. Hang on, I'll see if he/she can help you."

My Clouded Archers are tied with Snoop, the dwarf puffer.

6 each of lemon and red phantom tetras is my vote. Busy, colorful, hardy. I did have to watch them closely at 82 for O2 levels. Just upped the surface agitation until treatment was over and they relaxed.

I had difficulty with diatoms as my tank matured. Wiping off in the tank just put the diatoms in the water to settle on other leaves. 1 part bleach to 19 parts water in a bowl. Dip plants for 30 seconds, rinse under a tap to remove dead algae and chlorine then put in a bath of tank water loaded...

The archers have settled in nicely. They're eating bloodworms and greedily devouring crickets. I've seen some mild aggression from one; I may have to get 2 more to spread that out.

Not these.

I'll be happy to do so. The pics I attached included a cloud of brine shrimp for the tetras and dwarf puffer. Production values can only go up.
