Well I just got informed tonight that the loaches that I’m buying don’t currently seem to eat algae (either they haven’t started or it wasn’t around where they’ve been living in the wild). so I may not even have to make an algae tank unless I get more of the other kinds […]
Yeah my betta is sensitive at cleaning times too, even in the 10 gallon tank he’s in (it’s a castle compared to what he used to be in at the LFS). it does have a filter in it (one of the 10 gallon kits from walmart with a HOB filter), and it’s […]
I did it several times when in the bowl… The trick was to have the water the same temp. I would put the bucket of new water on the desk beside the bowl the day before. The next day it was the same temp. as the bowl, and I would dump thru […]
Here is a site with a lot of good info on bettas. I do not treat the water as she suggests, but then I do not have a couple of thousand of them either..

I got mine a 3 gallon tank, and he seemed happier in the smaller 2.5 gallon fishbowl that I had him […]
Those are not conditions that they need, they are only conditions that they can actually still manage to survive in. I keep my betta in a 10 gallon tank with gravel an ornaments. He is very happy, enough so that he makes a bubble nest almost weekly, waiting for a female to […]
My housemates have me pet sitting their betta. They are away for a week on vacation.
Now, if you saw the way they keep house, you’d not even want to know how the fish lives… dust of the ages. Vacuum once a year. If I try, […]
Yes Lenny that is what it looks like. It mostly happens to the larger snails. It is probably like mentioned, the bigger foot making it have more of a suction and the snails being sucked in. I have had to pull the snail (shredded) out of the intake. Not nice believe me. […]
I have lost a number of adult mystery snails to the intake filter. I have a fluval canister on the tank that this happened to and I had to put a sponge pre filter on it to avoid this problem. Pam

Yes, good point. I don’t think Sunny (the Snail) has been sick; she certainly was moving about and seemed happy; there did not seem to be anything unusual going on though, well, snails aren’t exactly easy to read. I think she’s in shock and at the bottom of the tank, and […]
You need a UV filter, it’s the only thing that will really work on a long term basis without harming fish.
