  1. Serpae tetra issue

    I bought three and saw nothing but brutality amongst each other and the peaceful, community inhabitants in the 75g. They say Oscars are vicious! Thankfully, I'm down to one. I moved it to the 20 gallon long community ADF/oddball/reject tank and a miracle occurred! Peace.
  2. Finding my own driftwood?

    I've read that if the wood has been in the water for a long time....... e.g. driftwood found on the beach, it is considered safe.
  3. Plants to protect chickens???

    LOL! You're right, as my BMI of 20.6 and the English sheepdog's bmi, which would probably be greater than that, won't fit! Between us, though, we'd be able to keep each other warm! And, I no longer produce eggs!!!! I'm fairly certain I could survive on chicken food though..... grains!!! LOL...
  4. Plants to protect chickens???

    Excellent idea. They're shepherds..... they can be taught to herd and protect!!!
  5. Plants to protect chickens???

    Well, my first response is to ask you if I can move into your chicken run! Second, I see that lighting for vines, plants etc isn't viable, and, the trees are excellent for birds of prey. You could set up nets above the run, but they could injure or kill the predators, which is against the law...
  6. Plants to protect chickens???

    You must live next door to me, as you also live in the deepest, darkest depths of nowhere!!! In which case, you need to abandon hope! lol.... kidding! Vines...... grape, wisteria.........?
  7. Would anyone care for some cuisses de grenouilles (aka frog legs)?

    Sorry, but laughter is the best medicine. Yet another pic of ADFs!!!
  8. Weird problem & not sure what to do.

    I agree with SaltyPhone in that a 20 gallon long and/or 40 gallon breeder would be best. Not sure what to tell you about the pH, except that I've read most fish will adapt to pH level.
  9. Tank is cloudy again

    If it's tap water, all you need is powdered de-chlorination.
  10. Saved two beauties

    If they've been raised in micro/nano environments, I wouldn't worry about 'fighting'. Keep them where they are until they're physically healthy.
  11. I need to leave for a month, how can my tank survive in these conditions?

    I would do a healthy water change, and buy one of those auto feeder things. Then, I'd cut back on the recommended amount of food for the auto feeder. I wouldn't worry about the lighting at all. I'd worry more about the aquarium heater at this time of year. Too bad you can't take the tank...
  12. Where to get a 20g long

    Don't give up!!!!
  13. Understanding & Preventing Algae in the Planted Aquarium (Lowering Nutrients is NOT the Solution)

    Local gh and kh and lighting have some bearing. However, if you live in farming country, you need to find out what chemicals are added to the municipal water in order to make it 'safe' for human consumption. Algae and plant 'safe' water can't stand up to human 'safe' water.
  14. Where to get a 20g long

    I wanted a 20 gallon long and by accident, found one, shivering on the floor, in a corner at an LFS. About $60 usd. One of my two smartest investments! Locate the tank come h*ll or high water. Don't worry about the lid, light, heater, filter, etc. I suspect you're going to have to pay an...
  15. Betta took a leap. New fish time

    I would say yes, as long as you acclimate the fish, carefully. Sorry about Bubbles! If you're worried about the opening or lid in the future, plastic mesh canvas is an excellent 'security blanket'!
  16. What the CDC and others say about COVID-19

    More people die and will continue to die from the inability to accept responsibility for driving, sober. Viruses don't scare me.
  17. Japanese trapdoor snails keep flipping over

    I echp your question!!!! Bottom line is that it means they've Abandoned All Hope IMO and IME!
  18. Hmm... Buy a Ferrari, or this guy? Platinum Arowana: $400,000

    Cheaper to move to their natural habitat and swim with and live around them!
  19. Girling Foss (Trapdoor) chillin' w one of the Bad News ADFs!

    Thanks!. Moments like those make it all worthwhile!!!!
  20. Who here watches Football(Soccer)?

    What's the difference between football and football? It's a rhetorical question. I heart watching young males. of the species, running after a ball. Not interested in young men standing around, evaluating how to kick the ball which has stopped moving.
