Can I cultivate Algae from sea monkey food?

Posted on September 14, 2011 by admin| 1 Comment

My sea monkeys died and I don’t want to get any more for a while, I want to cultivate the algae in the food (for no reason, just curiosity) I have the whole packet of algae in the water under a florescent bulb with a bubbler in there… I have the tiny tank tool and a peice of stocking in there to begin the culture, will it grow???
Thanks, I don’t know if the algae will grow because I used a little bit of miracle grow in the water I used to add to the tank (after the monkeys died, they died from low temps) Right now I think the algae cultures haw enough air, because they are in a 20 ounce bottle with a 5 gallon aquarium air pump, I am concerned about light, though, The water is really dark, but I have it right under the light…. I don’t know why I am growing it, I can’t put any animals in it to eat the algae, since they are growing in a small amount of miracle grow.

I have two Ghost Catfish, one looks sick but acts healthy and the other looks healthy and acts sick, what I do?

Posted on January 12, 2011 by admin| 3 Comments

They were in a 5 gallon tank with an algae eater, I left the one that was acting sick in the 5 gallon tank and moved the one that was acting healthy into a 10 gallon tank along with the algae eater. The sick acting one sometimes lays on the bottom of the tank barely moving but a while later will swim around like he is healthy. His scales and fins all look healthy with no signs of anything being wrong. The other fish, acts healthy and is always swimming, however he has lost his whiskers, and his fins look like he’s been in a fight. I feed them both freeze dried brine shrimp. Does anyone have a possible explanation or know of anything I could do for them.

Is fish food dangerous for dogs?

Posted on December 9, 2010 by admin| 5 Comments

My two huskies got into the fish food a while ago- fish granules and freeze dried brine shrimp- yum! They ate the entire large container of fish food and small container of freeze dried brine shrimp.

Will they be okay?

They are acting fine, but will they get sick?

Thank you!!!

Figure Eight Puffer Not Eating/ Sickness?

Posted on November 17, 2010 by admin| 1 Comment

My F8 puffer has been in his new brackish tank for a week now and has done fine so far. He will eat the small snails immediately as soon as I drop them in the tank. However, he does not seem to care for or eat much of the frozen brine shrimp that I put in as his main food source. Today I woke up and he has been very inactive(sitting in the plants or on the ground the majority of the time and only swimming every once and a while) He usually is very friendly to me and swims up to me as soon as he sees me and he has not been doing this today. I went out and bought frozen bloodworms today and put them in there a few minutes ago and he hasn’t done anything with them yet. Every once and a while it appears as though he coughs and his skin looks a little bumpier than it has previously. Does anyone have an idea of what is happening to him? Can anyone with personal Figure 8 puffer experience help me out?
