I have a 65 gallon community tank with several guppies, several platies, 4 neon tetras, 4 pristella tetras, a leopard danio, a dwarf gourami, 2 blue gourami, 4 glass catfish, 3 albino corydoras, 1 spotted corydora, 1 chinese algae eater and 3 otocinclus. I’m not finding much help online but I would guess they are […]
Hi Dave, It sounds like your pond cleaning plan is a pretty decent plan. If you have eight fish of 5-8 inches, you won’t need a container as large as the kids swimming pool you were planning to buy. You can get away with a container that holds much less water than that […]
Lenny:
Thanks for your detailed response. Some answers and comments from me:
Thanks for the link. i will try some of the vegetables mentioned. i may bring in an algae infested log from the outside pond to see if he can find something in there to munch on. He is probably used to that as well.

That’s very odd that at least one of your LFS’s didn’t have at least one of the brands of medications containing Metronidazole, not that you needed it anyway. Yes, I know exactly what you mean when you say there is only one central distribution center of aquaium supplies out on […]
Keep her isolated for the time being to give her some R&R. If nothing else, she needs a rest from ” a male danio who is relentlessly chasing her”. Without any evidence to the contrary, we would presume that the sore on her side came from her running into something when being chased, or by […]
My female danio is looking a little worse for wear lately. She’s in a 22gal with a male danio who is relentlessly chasing her. And I know she’s dropping eggs somewhere in the tank, cause she fluctuates from being really bloated to really skinny a couple of days later. But the reason […]
ANSWER:
YUP - thru the cord. If you have ever opened up a round electrical cord/cable, you found some individually insulated wires and some string type stuff. The string stuff kinda fills in the spaces between the individual wires so that the cable is rounder and prettier. The usual problem is that the […]
BASIC FACTS:
A generic submersible pump. Any make or model.
Did work great. Used to do odd jobs when and where needed. Then, one day, or night, as the case may be, it started to trip the GFCIs. Everytime it was plugged into a GFCI it tripped it immediately. When plugged into […]
Well had a interesting day today. Yesterday added some salt, not enough as specified but used all I had. I also put some limestone rocks in to help the PH. Today I didn’t have time to catch one of the ailing koi to inspect it, so I put my second pump on to add a […]
Hi Kim,
Have you been keeping an eye on the water parameters in your pond? When the fish died, you said they looked to be in good condition. Did you look at their gills at all before disposing of them?
I think it would be wise for you to remove the koi from your pond […]
