[AquaticLife] Plastic canvas question and OT- kitten

Thanks! I’ll send off an email to them. Since this is a craft item it might not surprise them at all that I want to do something weird with it. Crafty people are known for going off on creative tangents. Last summer, when hubby […]

Sounds like a deal to $15.95, My LFS sells them at $17.99 on sale! The post that I was reading on the Black Beard Algae said that once it gets out of control, it would be extremely hard to get rid of. The poster said he did the same things you described as doing but […]

Molly questions

I thought I replied to this.
They could just be red variants of Planaria. Planaria are common in tanks that might be needing some extra gravel cleaning. Do you see them in the water column or just crawling on things and on the glass? Can you take a picture of them?
Be careful with […]

Black Beard Algae

Well that sounds out of the picture, I can barely get the LFS to agree to anything, LOL. Couldn’t believe how much they were selling the german blue rams for, I saw the price and was VERY thankful I ordered them instead. They were 15.95 each! Same size as the ones I got […]

Black Beard Algae

Please note, the American Flagfish, or - “Florida Flagfish” (Jordanella floridae), found in Florida and southern Georgia, is not the same fish as the Jamaican Killifish (Cubanichthys pengelleyi, found in the West Indies, as could be interpreted to read here. I’ve never known the Cuban Killifish to eat Black Beard Algae, but the American […]

I’m using my vallisneria to out-compete […]

Black Beard Algae

They don’t have the CAE’s here in town, I would have to order them. Do Otto’s eat this algae? I doubt it. I figured raising the KH, GH and pH would help get rid of it, as it prefers low pH water (6 or less apparently). Oh and the lights are on for 8 […]

Black Beard Algae

I did a little surfing on the subject and found that the Chinese Algae eater (Siamensis) is the only known fish that will eat this type of algae. Hey Amber, may be time for another visit to the LFS since you have a legitimate reason to buy more fish LOL How long are […]

[AquaticLife] Dwarf Cichlid lovers… the Cockatoo Cichlid

Man, I see what my problem with them was. The first article you list from cichlid-forum.com lists them as “A Beginner’s Dwarf”. I never had much luck with all those so-called beginner fish. Drove me nuts, too. “Here, Steve, take these [Aphyosemion] gardneri home with you. You should have a bunch of fry for us […]

What plants are best for removal of Nitrites and Nitrates? And other questions.

In my freshwater aquarium, I have been having a problem with very high c03 levels(Between 80 and 100 PPM), however my co2 levels stay low - nearly unreadable. I currently have some live plants - a species of dwarf lily that I am not sure of its proper genus(And how it can be called a […]
