This was hard, as there are many fish I love. But I guess if I only have to name five, here goes it, in no particular order 1. (absolute, all-time favorite!) Hemirhamphodon tengah 2. Green Neon Tetra (Paracheirodon Simulans) 3. Medaka (Oryzias latipes) 4. Endlers 5. Any of the tiny Boraras...

I have two huge Siberians from the same blood line as my first Siberian (sadly deceased). I have three other cats, but the Siberians are huge and very fluffy! Bravo for rescuing your cat!

You'd be average in the Netherlands (world's tallest people). I know quite a few people who are (2 meters) 6.5 or taller and a lot of women who are your height or taller. I am a woman, 5 ft 1 (not Dutch) and get teased a lot. How many cats do you have? Are they moggies?

You might want to reconsider, if you read previous posts. But, to each their own, lol! Whatever works for you is good.

In my larger tank, when I kept it as a blackwater habitat, I had Ceratopteris thalictroides as a floating plant. It was great, but grew so rapidly, I couldn't keep up with it. I was constantly removing plants. It would probably do better in a really large tank. It can float or be planted. I...

Very mysterious! I was also thinking detritous worms, but they don't turn into flies.

Do you sieve it before feeding?

Don't be surprised if not all your plants survive. There are not many plants that can live with blackwater conditions. The floating plants will be fine! I like your tank.

If you look at the notes section regarding B. Merah on the Seriously Fish site, you will see that there has been speculation about this fish actually being the same as B. Brigittae

Could be one of the other kinds of Boraras, such as B. Merah or B. Maculitis. I've kept different kinds together (not deliberately -- once in awhile, there was another kind mixed in with my wild-caught B. Brigittae.) They'll be fine. See my post on this thread: Hi i got new chili rasboras |...

It's always a matter of what will fit in their mouths. If the copepods can fit, they will be eaten. Ditto the shrimp fry. I had copepods briefly appear in a tank years ago and my nano fish crew made short work of them. There were also shrimp in the tank, but they must have had enough hiding...

I'm sorry to hear of your woes! I come from a family where we are immune to poison ivy. When I was a child, both my mother and my father said they had no reactions to poison ivy. I just took it for granted that I would also not have a problem. One year, at summer camp (in the Catskill mountains...

They wiggle in the same way as mosquito larvae and the grown insect also resembles a mosquito, although I've never seen any green ones. Maybe this is a kind that lives where you are. Do you have fish? I would expect them to eat the larvae. Ditto the crayfish.

I prefer layout nr. 1 It is more interesting and I feel it is more balanced. Nice drawings!

I've never seen Glofish, as they are (thankfully) illegal over here. I don't like the idea of them as aquarium fish. Do you know there are some crazy people in the US who eat them, hoping to gain their glowing attributes?

I would, but I'm in the Netherlands. Most of you are in the US or other countries, so my supplier would not be accessible for you. He has a shop (Aquafizz) close to Rotterdam, too far away for me ever to visit and breeds all his own shrimp, keeping the lines pure. He carries a lot of fish, but I...

Same here in my country.

I bought 10 (minimum order) Sakura Red Fire shrimp back in April. I can usually find up to five in the tank, because they camouflage well with my red-leaved plants and were also small when I got them. Now they are big and beautiful with very intense color. I always ordered my shrimp from this...

They are easy. They prefer dim lighting, put a Catappa or Almond leaf or two in the tank, maybe some floating plants. They need very fine food for Nano fish or else live daphnia or brine shrimp. I always have rounded black shrimp gravel, but that's just a suggestion. I've kept them with...

Another great video! You can enable the English subtitles.
