I always buy twice the filter. FX4 on a 75, AC110 on a 45, AC70 on a 30 (gallons, all). Some buy two filters. Honestly you just gotta figure out what works for your situation, stocking, maintenance habits, etc. etc. etc. THe worst thing is to decide that "the way I do it" is the only way it'll...

She could just be scared still. It's only been a day. Sometimes they take 3 or 4 days to start behaving "normally". Just give her some time.

I second the cuteness. This is my new Ryukin, whom I have re-named Westley because The Dread Pirate Roberts takes too long to say. The adorableness is real. The wiggles and the "ohmygoshimsohappytoseeyou!" when you look in...how can anyone not love them?

THROW. THEM. AWAY. Sorry. I know not helpful but I flipping hate those things. Straight in the trash.

I've heard it's a vitamin deficiency of some kind, but I've also heard it's just what dogs do. My sister has five dogs and six horses. Apparently horse doo is a favorite snack for her pack. lol

This is Corky I have lots of fish with names but I don't have separate pics of all of them. This is The Dread Pirate Roberts

unrelated to your species but i like to share... I've only kept a native anole before. Someone found one in our office in February and was going to put it outside. It was seriously skin and bones, dehydrated, so I gave him a drink and took him home in a pretzel container lol. We kept him for a...

honeydew isn't quite poisonous but i'd rather not. cantaloupe is the froooits of the deviiil

Tomato soup with popcorn in it. The more weird thing is what I won't eat. I hate cantaloupe (rockmelon) with every particle of my being. I won't eat it or anything that contains it. It ruins all other foods.

Me and my Trusty Steed this morning. I love my husband but daannnng I sure love my Jeep. I've never kept a car this long in my life and I pretty much plan to be buried in this thing.

Let's talk phone cameras. And proof that it's not all about hardware... I have complained about my Moto Z3 Play camera, and how it just doesn't take great photos. They seem over-saturated, not as sharp as they should be, and heaven help me if something in the photo moves. I took most of the...

oh gosh yes and the "oak" stands that people advertise that are clearly pine... with the cabinet handles directly in the center of the doors.... My grandpa had a 30 gallon tank like this. I thought it was beautiful when I was 7.

Haha! I could NOT think of the word "veneer" earlier. I was like the thin stuff you put on the backs of cabinets. I was all over Home Depot looking for it lol.

Phosguard will not hurt your snails. It's commonly used in saltwater and salt tanks always have snails. I ran a phosguard reactor on a reef tank for six weeks with no ill effects on any inhabitants.

Instead of actual plywood you could use 1/8" wall paneling, like beadboard. It's lighter and thinner than plywood and since you don't need the structural aspect you could go crazy with the cheez whiz in terms of aesthetic...barnwood, beadboard, faux stone, shiplap.... That could probably be...

I guess in theory that makes sense, but in reality with a fish like a puffer (of any kind) almost any saltwater keeper would say that they are in the group of fish we know as "poo machines" so I imagine that the water change frequency would be about the same between salt or brackish. On the...

Dark Mode FTW~~~ Here's another factor aside from age: I'm no child, but I also have horrible astigmatism, to the point that I almost can't wear contacts because to correct the level of astigmatism I have they must be specially made (I DO have special eyes!)... So as I age and get less and less...

This comes up regularly, and the bottom line to me is what makes anyone think that their home chemistry set will defy years of controlled laboratory testing and product development? I've lost fish to disease, parasites, old age, and one time to what I assume is osmotic shock (due to my own...

They are a special new thing for me. I've been drooling over them for months, and when I set my 75 up they were seriously on the consideration list. I let myself get dissuaded by the general public lack of love for goldfish and set up a tropical tank instead. Now I wish I had just gotten them in...

I am curious why you say you would not keep them again? I've never kept goldfish before except outdoors so I'm really sort of out of my depth so to speak.
