Experience with Oscar fry??

Posted on August 18, 2010 by admin| 4 Comments

I have a pair of 7-8 year old Oscars. They have their second batch of successfully hatched fry (free swimming for a day now.) The first batch has one surviver that is in it’s own tank. I know that I could remove them from their parents for a bigger # to survive but as a hobbyist, I have little resources of “takers” when the fry are big enough. I need suggestions with good filtration without sucking up the babies…I have tried panty hose on the end of my bio-filter tube but that doesn’t prevent fry from getting stuck to it. I also could use good suggestions for feeding them. I use brine shrimp and have used crushed flakes. With them in a big tank..how can I ensure they are finding the food?

Angel fish not interested in food and listless?

Posted on June 4, 2010 by admin| 5 Comments

I have a breeding pair of 14 month old angels and the female is not interested in eatting. I have tried blood worms, brine shrimp, flakes and also peas. She just is not having any of it. she stays in one corner most of the time but will move if another fish is near. my water is great PH is good all other levels are good and I just did a water change 5 days ago. I have never had a problem with any other fish in this tank…There are 3 corys and a botia and the two angels and thats it in this tank. Also the tank is a 45 gallon. I just dont know what her problem is

Does anyone have a pair of those X-Ray glasses from the comic books?

Posted on May 24, 2010 by admin| 1 Comment

I made the mistake of investing in that box of little tiny soldiers that came in a box the size of my hand. I should have spent my $1.49 on the x-ray goggles so I could see through girls clothing. It could of been worse though, at least I didn’t get stuck with sea monkeys.

Would I be pushing my SW limits? (stocking question)?

Posted on February 3, 2010 by admin| 3 Comments

I’ve had my aquarium for about 6 months now, its a 45-50g aquarium which is a FOWLR set up. The inhabitants include a pair of false clowns, a canary wrasse, scooter blenny (fat off of brine shrimp), a brown clown goby, and a green spotted puffer. Poor puffer, his growth is stunted from his previous 10g tank so he’s just a bit bigger than the female clown. I reaaaaaaally want a dwarf angelfish (cherub preferably) and want to make sure I’m not pushing the limits of my tank.

However! I do have a really wonderful skimmer (gets full after 3 days), a biowheel filter, and a homemade sump in the works for all those lovely pods and added filtration. I wish I just had $100k to dedicate to fish, however… life sucks! Doesn’t work that way. I’m pretty sure a Dwarf Angel would be fine, if I got one thats roughly 2″ max. Opinions? I’m stricken with “I WANT ALL OF THEM” sickness, I suppose!
