    What are you bringing to the February auction?

    How big are the maingano juvies? I have 5 adults and none holding, so I'm thinking they may all be males. I have a single big male williamsi I'd like to rehome.

    Genesis to Rid Chlorine

    I used Genesis for years w/out any issues, never have used Prime. I ran across someone selling sodium thiosulfate crystals and got 8oz for $10 shipped, that much will keep me going for years. You mix 4 oz/gallon or 1/2 tsp/4oz water, and it's still 1 drop/gallon to use.

    Just tell me that the Stipohodons can live on the Repashy soilent green until the algae grows thick enough to support them and I'll take some of both.

    Whats your best recipe for green water?

    I have a couple-gallon glass vase hanging in a kitchen window that houses a betta, a few small ramshorns, and a little Najas. Water is so green you can't see through it, even (Becka) doing a complete water change didn't stop it fom coming back. I feed the betta NLS Grow pellets. Have never...

    Ya, the tiny size and much higher price for the Sulawesi cardinals (I'm not THAT crazy about any shrimp) are what put me off in the first place. I already something that hides and looks good in pics, and fancy pleco's are less trouble to keep. Sooo many people doing cherry shrimp (of whatever...

    I was hoping the blueberry would be solid blue. I have at least one big brown female among my cherry shrimp that looks almost like that, must be another selectively bred color variant. I really can't see any significant diffference (from pics online) between red cherry and the fire red or...

    Disappearing Act

    BN pleco's aren't even particularly inclined to eat dead fish IME, certainly no threat to live rainbows. Nothing else in the tank aside from the BN and the (MIA) furcatas?

    How much are these tanks worth? big tanks!

    I presume the live rock is dead now, but I could use some for my cichlid tanks if you decide to sell it.

    Clean 5 gallon buckets with lids.

    I do have a few hundred or so endler's, mixed black bar and peacock or pure-breeding blonde (leucistic) if you prefer. There are always a couple blonde fry among the swarms of regular fry, so I moved some to another tank. Since they grew out and started breeding there haven't been any regular...

    What are you bringing to the January auction?

    I'm tempted to request the Whisper 100's just for the satisfaction of throwing them away. I bought one used years ago, replaced one of the diaphragms twice in less than a month, and then it blew one out again. I have several of the old-style whisper air pumps that are still running fine after...

    Clean 5 gallon buckets with lids.

    I can use a couple new buckets, some of mine are showing their age and should be retired. No cleaning required, I'm not too lazy to scrape out some crusty drywall mud if necessary, just too cheap to buy new ones. Do they have lids? Those are occasionally handy for transporting fish over bumpy...

    An FX5 or two AC110s?

    I run 2 110's and an aquaclear 70 powerhead in my 125, 3 110's in the 220, and have no problems or complaints about either setup. I really prefer hob's because they're easier to clean/maintain when I do partial water changes. I also have an air-driven Hydrosponge V in all my tanks (over 30...

    ABN fry

    I buy several buckets of each a year, as well as 2-3 pounds of spirulina flake about as often. With 11 tanks and many hundreds of fish to feed it's just not economical to buy smaller amounts more often. Canned green beans are great, though you can also steam some frozen if you prefer. They sink...

    ABN fry

    I buy NLS online in 5 lb buckets, most recently from yourfishstuff.com (in the sponsor section.) I breed super reds in a 30 long, also a couple hundred endler's livebearers, probably as many ramshorn snails, and 6 L-333's in that tank. There are usually 2-3 broods of various sized BN fry growing...

    ABN fry

    I have a few hundred BN fry at just about any given time. As long as there isn't anything in the tank to eat them they don't need much attention. I feed all my fish once daily, NLS .5mm Grow or 1mm Cichlid pellets is the staple diet. Spirulina flake a couple times weekly, and occasionally canned...

    Special Order Fish Available

    I definitely want a pair of Mastacembelus plagiostoma. I'd grab some of the tricoti if I had stocking space, but I don't find them all that attractive anyway. Shoot me a PM with your paypal info, or you can send me an invoice if you prefer. UPS Ground shipping after they're finished QT?
