Re: Side Glass Reflection. Can your fish see its own reflect

I do believe that fish can see their own reflections, but I think it depends on the thickness of the glass, lighting, and the colors surrounding the tank. Say you have a black background, and a neon tetra, of course the fish will be able to see its reflection, even in low lighting. Though I have not...

I complained one time about how horrible the tanks were to a manager, told her that all of her fish were slowing dying in their own ammonia.

Re: Hi there! :-)

I sure do. Like I said, "temporary". My neighbor had it sitting outside in the lawn half full of water that had probably been sitting there for a year or more. So I offered her free seaworld tickets for it, came with the tank, stand and everything! When I originally purchased my puffers I ...

I have everything set up with the exception of a powerhead, how do I determine the gph in this tank? It is about 2' tall and around ...
