I just did my baseline tests, initial tests had my pH at 6.5-6.6 and GH was approx 100ppm , and KH was 18ppm or less (1 drop). pH rose to 6.8 after 24 and 48 hours, GH lowered to 38ppm after 48 hours and KH remained the same the whole time. As you […]
I soaked in hot water and rinsed it very well, I wasn’t sure if I could boil it though, so I just used really hot tap water instead. It’s also been sitting outside on the porch for about 5 months I don’t like using bleach, I guess I tend to mess […]
I’ve never seen a good article on the proper use of crushed coral. I think there are so many variables that it’s hard to know precisely how much to use. It’s probably something someone with multiple tanks could do and keep accurate records over the course of several months and then come up […]
Yes, every fish will not always “act” like what has been written about them but full size Gouramis also cannot be compared to Dwarf Gouramis.
I believe your Gold Gouramis are just a color variant of the “Three Spot Gourami” such as the Blue Gourami, Opaline Gourami, etc. The top two profiles below are two […]
Hey Lenny, I like the idea of a second pond. Thanks for all of your helpful info. Tawny TAWNY

Many people do mix them but if you want to keep the purity/beauty of your Koi, especially Butterfly Koi, and hopefully have spawns from them in the future so you can continue the FreeCycle cycle, then it would be best to keep them separate. That, and the fact that you may need all the […]
Give the Goldfish some Anacharis once in a while. It gives them roughage. […]
I have 2 “Comets” in one of my tanks (a 20 gal) One of them was given to me by a kid who won it at fair and didnt know what to do with it. The other one my wife came home with and asked me to set up a tank for it. I put […]
Since this cloudiness is related to new tank syndrome and bacterial blooms, I don’t think a diatom filter would be advised. We need these bacteria in our tanks and they are just in the water column while looking for a place to call home. I’m not sure a diatom filter would even remove […]
LOL… the admission is only $3.00. It’s more of a novelty museum from what I saw on the website… kind of like the Alligator Farms, etc., that still line the “scenic routes” of many heavily traveled tourist roads. It’s located in Abita Springs, LA, which is an out of the way place […]
