Hi, Never thought about problems with using a heater in the filter box. Thanks. Removing the plastic on the top still doesn't allow a hang on heater. I did see...

Hi Bob, I have a Visitherm Deluxe 25 watt heater (fully submersible) in my 6 gal Eclipse and also in my 3 gal Eclipse. The power cord fits easily through the...
Greetings again Dawana, What I do for feeding is give the tankmates a large amount of flake, live blood or tubflex (blackworm?) and frozen worms and brine...
I can't address the issue of clown loach/shrimp compatability, but will tell you that you can control -- NOT eliminate -- an abundance of snails by dropping a...
Robin, What size is this tank? My year old clown loaches are about 4 inches long and their full growth is up to 12 inches. Plus they are not happy in a group ...
hey, thanks for the replies. I havent been able to get online but did some surfing on hydra's to work out what to do. All with a sinking feeling inside. When...
I find that the filter box allows enough room if you put the heater in the right place, especially in the larger tanks, but even in the 3G tanks, to let a...
Hi Bob, I never used a dual temp heater but I believe most of the submersible heaters will come with suction cups. The Visitherm that I use comes with a...
Cassandra has Hydra? Is there a classical Greek theme developing here? Anyway, I remember using copper-based products to control hydra many years ago and found...

Hi- I'm in the process of moving my Danios from one tank to another. I managed to net and relocate 4 out of 6 of them. I've been trying for hours to try...
Hi Nancy, Isn't catching danios fun? ;) I have successful used a two net approach with my danios. 1 large net is held pretty much stationary and the smaller...

Instead of using two nets try using one net and a stick. Use the stick to heard the fish towards the net. Works well if you leave the net near the front glass...
I see no reason why not. I used to make a similar contraption when catching bait fish in the ocean. The key is bait in the trap or they simply will not go in I...
Another good way to get rid of Hydra's is to pick up a pair of 3 spot gouramis (pardon the poor spelling) Don't feed themmuch and they will happily munc on...
I suggest draining the tank as low as you can, keeping the water in buckets.
Take out 75% if you can. That will help you a lot. Patrick, an American Fish...

Hang in there Nancy! I think you will have good luck with the trap. I have a friend who uses it to catch endlers so I bet it will catch these fast little...
I've had to remove everything I could, drain most of the water out of the tank and use 2 nets (one to chase and one to catch.) Sorry, but that is a difficult ...
