  1. Blackwater Parosphromenus Tank Thoughts/Tips?

    You would be better of with the pangio loaches than the cories in my opinion.... And I would stick to one type of licorice gourami. The hope is that they breed and with the current aquatic environment you will have a better time selling pure offspring
  2. Fish stocking the backwards way

    Ok so I'm sure we can all agree there are some very different ideas about stocking rates. So for fun I wanted to do this backwards. I'm going to list my stocking and you should tell me how many US gallons I should have. I think it might be more fun to show the range of opinions this way. The...

  6. Transporting an adult mystery snail

    When I was in college I transported a fish bowl with one snail and one dwarf gourami and a large pothos back and forth from college.

  8. 5 gallon tank with single leopard Danio - what with it?

    You can re home your one danio and get a small group of boraras for a more active and interesting set up. But 1 danio alone is probably better than 2 or three as they get bored and nippy.
  9. Guppy Genetics

    I've got nothing except some of the old cattle ranchers breed the best hardiest guppies in their stock tanks seasonally.
