In the course of another blog yesterday, I had this personal epiphany that it might be a cool thing to keep all of your botanicals in a separate aquarium (refugium) to provide many of the benefits (habitat enrichment, a substrate to cultivate biofilms, algae, and even invertebrates/aquatic...

Have you played with aquatic botanicals in your aquarium? Have you created an aquarium that features wood, leaves, and other botanicals, with minimum plants? Have you seen "the tint" imparted by these natural materials in your water? There is something alluring about hardscapes with aquatic...

Some, I found a pretty good deal on CL today. Picked up a 75g acrylic tank, furniture grade stand and canopy, sump,(2) metal halides, (2) UHO actinic, and(2) return pumps with built-in controller. At first, I was gonna flip it, because I got it for dirt cheap, but I think I wanna set-up a...

I was thinking since I now have 2 alligator gars and a rtc. I should start digging a moat around the house. They can patrol the perimeter when they out grow the tank. Lol Sent from my SPH-L710 using MonsterAquariaNetwork App

Like a month ago, I replaced clay pellet substrate with pool filter sand in three of my established tanks. I pre-washed it. I think it was Ace brand. The quartz stuff. Each tank has about the same size layer of sand. Live plants. No CO2. PMDD ferts. Heated to around 78. Two have lighting, one...

After looking at a few threads on sick/injured fish in the past week I thought it might be cool to start some sticky topics on treatment and health care where members could share how they treat different ailments, etc. Some topics might be: Wound care Fungal infections Bacterial...

I was about to post that I was going to need a boy keyhole shortly as the lovely female I got from Arlene (thank you!!!!) was doing great but my existing boy (who was missing when I got home after a week business trip and once found was still hiding in the back) was ailing. But before I sent...

The black and yellow fish in the center of this pic looks sick...looks as if it would be some sort of new world cichlid...at any rate I want one haha Sent from my iPod touch using MonsterAquariaNetwork app

I have a 75gal with 4 breeding williamis blue lips and a bn pleco that is it. I was wanting to add something with them but don't want to interfere with their breeding or breed with them and then have hybrids. I was thinking on putting these 2 cats in there but not sure of they would do what my...

this will be my first ever tank and it will be 125gallon 6foot long 18inc wide ,looking for a over load of color and personality. stock list = will buy as juvies 25 Pseudotropheus demasoni (Pombo Rocks) weed out males as needed 15 Metriaclima greshakei (Albino) weed out males as needed 15...

i'm thinking of getting some yellow tail acei, some yellow labs, and throwing in also some red jewel (maybe dwarfs) does that sound like a good colorful idea?? theyre going in a 55gl tank.

Will Yellow Labs, Cobue Afra, and either Flavus or Rustys work? For another tank idea, can clown labs (Chislumsae) and flavus coexist, or do I need to work about conspecific?

I'm not sure on the final gallon but I was thinking about building a plywood tank once we get a house sometime soon, the wife is looking for 3 bed 2bath....I'm just looking for a basement for this bad boy lol. The size would be 16' x 4' x 4' my first problem would be with that I would use 2...

The oscars have been fighting ferociously ever since I put the 2nd one in there. Bubba, my original albino tiger, stripped some scales off of the new one already... a small line of scales on each side. I removed it... it isn't going to work. Sigh... Oh well... -Rich

Well great or not, here it is. So we're 'hosting' the ACA next year. I sure hope it's in DC proper for a number of strategic reasons (only one of them selfish), but wherever it is, what if some of CCA's more illustrious, talented and fanatic keepers were given the opportunity to set up display...

If one Googles CCA, we, meaning all of us lurkers, registered guests and dues-paying members (of whom I am as of yesterday afternoon #159 thank you very much) command 39th place on page 4 listed behind such noteworthy institutions and acronyms as are otherwise used to refer to and describe the...

I can't remember the name of this cichlid, hoping that someone out there knows what it is. The little guy is gymnogeophagus australis, at least that is what i was told. they are finally starting to get a little bit of reddish in the dorsal fin. It's the other guy i need help with.

I have become enamored with Apistos and Rams, and I've been thinking about building a rack of display/show tanks that would let me keep numerous species, but without mixing species in a given tank (I had a bad experience trying to keep Apistogramma cacatuoides, A. macmasteri, and A. agasizzi...
