spring

For those that haven't heard of this product....I think it's the best thing since sliced bread (ok, maybe not really....but it's close). I've been using them for years. I minimize the use of pesticides in my yard, but IMHO these and mosquito dunks are must-haves since both deal with insects...

Lots of spawning activity with the warmer temperatures and a couple of weekends of large water changes. I never get tired of watching cichlid parents tend their spawns...although I wish I had more (empty) tanks to raise and grow fry. As it is, whatever survives in the tank is what survives...

Life has been pretty busy for me recently, and admittedly, I haven't spent as much time in the fish room as I should. I missed doing water changes last week, but it doesn't seem to have bothered my fish one bit. I spent some time checking on all my tanks this evening, and I have fry all over the...

Hi All! I recently moved to Silver Spring form NYC. I've started up my first aquarium in 10+ years, a 55G Mbuna tank. I used to have a bunch of tanks set up, but didn't have room while I lived in NYC, so I'm excited to have rejoined the hobby. A number of people have suggested that I join...

The warmer weather has brought lots of spawning to my fishroom. Most of the Uruguayan fish and a lot of the Central Americans have spawned or on the verge. Some interesting ones: Cichlasoma dimerus "Arroyo Chelsea" - Ken Davis collected these a ways inland from Bella Union, Uruguay in a...
