I love water exchange days. There is something...I dunno- visceral about doing something that you know is beneficial for your animals. It's not only a "feel good thing", it helps foster a sense of connection between man and nature. Or at the very least, it makes your tanks sparkle! I...

I geek out on throwing leaves and pods and stuff into my aquariums. And then, I geek out on watching how the fishes behave in such aquariums. Lately, I've become interested in a couple of genera of West African cichlids that come from leaf-enriched streams, and my mind boggles at the...

So whats the word on Flowerhorn in this club? I've entertained the idea of raising up a flowerhorn many times over the years but I've never pulled the trigger. I've got an empty tank right now that I'd like to stock and I was interested in raising a single showy fish since I've never gone that...

Just had 3 more batches of Cyrpichromis leptosoma "Utinta" fry within 3 weeks. I always fish out the female close to the due date to collect the spit fry, then release mom back into the main tank. At this rate it will saturate the local market:rofl: What does everyone do when there are too many...

Many of you have met my little sister and fellow CCA member, Stephanie (wordgirl91 on the forum). If you would please keep her in your thoughts as she is currently in the hospital. At first we thought it was appendicitis but the tests show negative. So, we are still unsure of what's going on and...

Anyone keeping trewavassae? Would they work in a 55g mixed mbuna tank?

***BEWARE OF EPIC SPOILERS*** And even if you did read them, you wouldn't understand any of it anyway until you saw the movie or read the script. I saw Inception opening day in Imax at White Marsh theater in Baltimore on Friday (spent the night and saturday at my brother's new apartment and...
