Aquarium Surface Fishes

At first, the fry cannot swim, but they squirm "en masse" on the rock, living off the egg sac, for about 4 days. The parents constantly attend to their young at this time. Feeding these fry is easier than other breeds, because of the baby Oscars relatively large size. A good and simple plan is to crush regular processed flake food in your fingers, and just drop it in.

Some plastic pots tend to vibrate when you put everything together. Ceramic bowls are more s

On the other hand, if this is a saltwater installation, I give a slight edge to Aquarium Systems Maxi-Jets because they use a ceramic impeller shaft which are more durable in salt water than Hagens stainl

Refugium reverse photo period, could it actually fuel daytime algae?
I was just reading some articles about PH and whatnot (Randy Holmes Farley stuff) and started to think about CO2. If algae gives off Co2 at night time when it isn't photosynthesizing, then the chaeto ball in my fuge is doing just that during the day when the fuge light is off and the d.
