Hi Group. While doing research on the different types of goldfish, I happened upon some names of Japanese goldfish. Most of which I couldn't find pictures...
As it turned out for one of my missing Orandas....after cleaning my mint plant around the pond and on the pond...I found one Oranda dead from getting tangled...
Hi Larry, I never would have expected that could happen, but it makes sense when you think of it. I don't have mint around my pond, but lots of other plants...
Thanks....he was one of our favorites.....unfortunately life happens... -- Larry Carmichael-Sacramento Bandit, Lefty, Molly, Indy and fish.... ... From: "Touch...
I never thought Orandas would so much fun to watch and raise. It seems they have so much more personality...they run circles around the Koi and other...
One of my tanks has really high kH for some reason. I'm not sure what happened as none of my other tanks have this problem (if anything, they are really low)....
What is the KH reading? Do you have any gravel, rocks or ornaments in the tank that could be leaching into the water? Valerie ... From: SuperBlindGIrl To:...
Hi Larry, Things are going well with my fish. The pond fish have done very well this year, with no predation or accidents yet (crosses fingers :-) I see...
I can't even get the kH test to turn color after over twenty drops. I am using the Aquarium Pharm test. I have gravel, and rocks. I have live plants and...
Have you tried testing the water out of the tap? If the KH in the water from the tap is lower than in the tank, I would think that something is leaching into...
I just bought six Haustrum Apple Snails on eBay. I thought they were neat, and they can get pretty big. I don't know too much about them, and haven't kept...
Hi Sadie, You can feed them all kinds of veggies. They like zucchini, lettuce, broccoli, cauliflower, peas, etc. I find that if you blanch the veggies, they...
Hello all, I am new to this group, and fairly new to having a pet fish. I won a golfish at a carnival over a year and a half ago, and surprisingly, he is...
I had two apple snails and one night I thought that they were "mating" but one was actually eating the other. This was in a 100 gallon tank, with anacharis...

Well, that is "interesting..." I have quite a few now, and probably will try to sell or give away a few as they are already quite large for the 20 gallon I am...

Hi Dana, Welcome to our group. It sounds like your goldfish was a very lucky fish when you took him home from the carnival. Keep an eye on your water quality...
Valerie, Thanks so much. It sounds like you have a lot of exerience with aquariums. I do have a question however. The tank already turned a little cloudy....
Hi Dana, It is normal for a tank to turn cloudy when it is first set up. This often happens. It is a bacterial bloom, and other than being rather unsightly,...
Ok, I have an odd question. I have bought 2 hoods already and neither fit.
My tank is 24 inches across, the first hood was 23 and some inches, the
second...
Unfortunately, tank hoods are not interchangeable. Different brands are all different sizes. Do you know the brand of your tank? Also, some lids fit inside...
Valerie, Thank you so much for all the wonderful advice. It was not intimidating, it was very helpful. You were right, we do have the undergravel filter with...
Hi, No I have no idea brand of tank, it was a freebie. But it has a tan lip on
it. I thought it would be pretty simple, measure it and make sure the lid is at...
Hi Dana, I would try and get both pipes working, but you may not get equal bubbles out of each. It is great that you have the second hang on the back type of...
As I mentioned, some hoods, like Perfecto brand, fit inside the lip on the little rim in there. Others fit sitting on the rim, such as Hagen brand. You have...
I don't know the first one, it was from Meijer. The second one is Aqua
something I think. Thanks, Samantha ... From: Touch of Sky Date: 9/12/2006 4:41:13 PM ...
Hi Valerie. I agree with all that advice. I would just like to put in my two cents about the undergravel filters. When I used them I found them to not be...
