Mailman handed me the package. Fish D.O.A. Water temp <55. If the seller just would've contacted me before he resent the fish. He's offered a refund or to resend another fish later. He has been very nice about it but my complaint is sending the fish on a Saturday...Not to mention at a time when half...

Remember my try with this seller and the dead fish? Remember the seller dropped the fish off on a Saturday at the Post Office to let it sit there until it shipped out on Monday evening. Well out of the blue, without contacting me, he just sent out another fish. And guess when he sent it again...That...

Had to Google that one. LOL

God willing and the creek don't rise (idiomatic, US, informal) Barring unforeseen circumstances.

I'm confused...It says your nitrAtes are "0" but you say they are "a little higher than normal". Please clairfy.

What are you feeding and how are you feeding them?

I've lost power before in the winter and wrapped the tanks with comforters...Then, because I have natural gas and city water, I filled 3-4 2ltr soda bottles with hot tap water and placed them together alongside the front glass, under the comforters. Worked quite well...Just keep roatating the bottle...

NitrAtes may be increasing after WC because of you source water. NitrItes are not where "they are supposed to be", they should always be 0...You're nitrItes are way too high. You are gonna hate me and the replies to follow but your tanks is WAY too samll for any of those fish kept alone. G...

Just make sure it doesn't have any mold inhibitors.

I am not convinced bloodworms absorb much. How can it get through the outside skin?

I say this by saoking foods in IP meds...Snail flesh starts to break down quickly in those meds but bloodworms seem to show little difference.

IDK

Loctite also make some. Just check to see if whichever brand you find has an experation date or birth date...Dig through the rack for the newer tube. Also if you have some acetone or denatured alcohol, it will help with any needed cleanup. If you are unsure of your "caulking" skills, you c...

+1 to the background. Maybe also on a side glass. I have on tank that sits right next to a tv that sits diagonally in the corner right next to the tank and I have a backgound on that side. I have two tanks that sit next to each other a foot apart and one of them has a background on the side. And for...

I bought some aragonite to re-substrate my F8 tank and possible new ceylon tank and I'm curious if it will produce diatoms. When I first did aragonite a few years ago I mixed it with pool filter sand and had a reletively small diatom outbreak. My question is, will I have the same with straight arago...

Can you get frozen(not freeze-dried) blood worms where you live?

Do you have any pest snails? Crush one and shake of the shell and try feeding it to the dp with forcepts.

Many say food soaked in garlic gets them going. I've never notice if it helps or not.

Yeah, the quote in my previous post was his emailed reply.


We'll see what happens...If I have him send another fish. Either way it won't be til after the holidays.


My rant is over. LOL

Anyway, Thank you for the Pictures , I will resend you the fish after the Holiday . Thank you Sam OMG...

Oh JRC3 I am so sorry about your little Ceylon! I could just cry. I don't know why he arrived so late-mine traveled farther and was OK. Yes I would complain also. That was terrible thing to happen. I took a big chance ordering at this time of year; weather, before Christmas etc.... I went to contac...
