Why Do My Fish Hide All The Time?
Fish that hide all the time are a baffling and frustrating problem for the owner. Here are suggestions for how to coax your fish out into the open where you....

The Mad Reefer, Bloomington, Illinois
Does anyone know how to contact the owners of the Mad Reefer? I realized that it closed, but they have (had?) a fish tank of mine on consignment. I am looking to either reclaim the fish tank or see if it sold. Even if you just have the previous owners' nam.

perfecto 2c all glass aquarium co 2c and oceanic tanks How do I measure a fish? Visually estimate the length of a fish from the mouth to the base of the tail. Do not include the tail (caudal fin) when estimating the size of a fish. Some Common Misconceptions: Fish do not grow to the size of their environment, and then stop growing. The growth ra More

There are some incandescent bulbs used in inexpensive aquarium light fixtures for small freshwater aquariums. Incandescent bulbs use a tungsten filament which glows hot as voltage passes through it. Incandescent bulbs produce a lot of heat per watt of output, a More

Biological media used in wet-dry filters can vary widely. The types of media used include plastic ball media, DLS (Double Layer Spiral) material, sintered (porous) glass, and many others. Although some media are better than others, all have one thing in common, and that is high surface area for bacteria cultivation. The water entering the wet-dry filter usually feeds into an area above the wet-dry chamber, equipped with a trickle plate. The More

Even with the smaller species you are still going to need a rather large aquarium. The tropical gar also is possible to keep in aquariums as it doesnt grow as large; however this species is very hard to find. The Cuban gar is a red-list endangered species and shouldnt be kept even if you somehow find one. In aquariums gars are quite demanding and require a lot of space and clean water. I recommend you to use as big a tank as you can for your gar, and I wouldnt recommend keeping gars in an aquarium smaller than 200 Gallon/720 L. And that should be considered a minimum; a 400 gallon/1400 L tank is preferable. The tank sh More

includes species that only seem to survive in an aquarium when kept in large shoals (schools), and those that are collected from deep water, often improperly Rare: Folks! If it is next to impossible to FIND a fish in the wild, collecting that species is a sure-fire way to drive it into extinction! To us, keeping these species is very irresponsible. We have two words for people that disagree with this . . . BITE ME! Please note that some species may be on the list for more than one or more of these reasons, but not all reasons are shown due to space limitations. In our opinion, one or two reasons alone are enough to avoid that species, unless More

I have noticed that nobody uses airstones in their reef tanks like people with freshwater tanks do to decorate. Are they bad for reefs?.
