    Non-cichlid aquarium

    I was wondering about multiple breeds or species (just learning lingo) in the same aquarium. What is your success with it? What fish have you found to be the most compatible? Any tips or advice with this? I will be attending the BFD. Does anyone know what fish will be sold there?

    What gets your fish to spawn?

    Ok, so after a long spell of limited spawning in my fishroom, things have started firing up again and I'm actually concerned I won't have room to raise all of the cool things that are hatching. It got me wondering about which factors really contribute to spawning success and which are...

    Is this fish sick or just injured from fighting?

    This is the dominant male yellow lab. Above his lip looks scarred, trying to figure out if I need to do anything or just assume it's from fighting.

    Ants in the Fish room.

    Okay every year I have a battle with ants in the fish room. They set up around the room in diff areas and I try to kill them. I sit in there and follow the trails till I find the nest and try to kill it without killing the fish. I have found nests between tanks, under lights and of course...

    Saltwater Fish

    Hey gang, Not sure how many members keep saltwater, but.... I had a minor misunderstanding with one of my suppliers in East Africa, and got about three times the fish I need. Well, my misunderstanding is your benefit, because I need to move some of it (and pay for the overages, argh). Fish need...

    Fish transportation, a cautionary tale

    So this year I ended up coming to the BFD solo without my trusty sidekick (my son). Since there is always a compelling need to haul a bunch of stuff up andback, naturally I took my wife's Pilot. It's hard to fit much in my old Prelude since it's the equivalent of a 20 Long in need of a reseal...

    Only a fish geek knows...

    Ever noticed that, as a hardcore fish geek, you have a certain outlook on stuff- and a certain way of reacting to things that sort of affects everything else you do? Yeah, you do. For example, only a real fish geek understands the incredible emotional satisfaction of waking up to discover...
