Dingo, that fish I had from freshwater and when salt came out I added it to my salt water tank. Him and a scat, an archer fish and a monodactylis.Paul,
How has no one commented on the fact that you removed a tumor from your fish and they lived for 5 years after that.
Can you go into more detail!? That is so fascinating!
Imagine what Bob Straughan would say if he were alive today to see our beautiful aquariums filled with live coral and fish.
In all other months i have blackworms in my garden ^^
Do you cut the blackworms? Maybe a silly question but I observe my fishes and I could see, that all of them like other particles of food.
Here in good old germany we have lots of self proclaimed experts but unfortunately mostly in talking, not doing
I like your "IMO" style
Oh I see, it is a sister family. One is kliving in the ground, the other in water. Interesting, I will try both, let's see what the fish like more.Aliyanna, those worms you find in your garden are not the blackworms I am talking about and I doubt you can get them there. The worms you find are probably very good as long as they have no chemicals or fertilizer on them.
Oh dear, you have never been in germany. We have experts for all and everything without even an idea of degree or education or an idea of the topic they are experts of. Believe me, this is a mess.All our Experts are also self proclaimed because this is a hobby and no one has a degree in a hobby. We can call ourselves experts, professionals, or Supermodels. No one is listening except ourselves.
gnihihihiOH, I thought you said "Hair Style" I don't have much of that.
Shaun, Thank You.
The reverse UG filter just pushes water down the tubes instead of up the tubes. I run it very slow.
The algae scrubber has been there maybe 15 years in different configurations. My tank is and always has been an experiment and never was designed to be a piece of artwork or beauty.
Thanks Paul. Another question, my tanks are "1/2 pipes" so it makes for an odd bottom shape. Plus, I've already aquascaped my new 140 so incorporating a UGF is not practical. That said, I could easily create a rectangular patch about 1' x 2'. What do you think? Some benefits to be had? Mind you, when I refurbish the old one I'll be starting from scratch so I could easily build the same UGF I had originally. I suppose by "slow flow" you mean slow enough so it doesn't lift the gravel.
Marine World, thank you for commenting. Here In New York the only store that has salt water fish in 1971 was "Aquarium Stock Company" in Manhattan a couple of blocks from the World Trade Center. Here we had no salt water medications or fish. I guess where you come from, you did so I should have said, I didn't have any salt water medications and we used pennies. I did not invent that, it was Robert Straughn "The Father of Salt Water Fish Keeping" who wrote the "Salt Water Aquarium in the Home" which was my bible. But as I am not the God of fish you are probably correct.
Zieg, thank you also for posting, but we will have to agree to dis agree because I disagree with your entire post. I suggest we treat our fish as they are treated in the sea, parasites and all. You mention that I will say that I have been successful for many years and that is true. If you can keep your fish "spawning" and disease free for their entire "normal" presumed lifespan, which in some cases is 30 years, I feel that you succeeded. Anything less is failure. All of my paired fish are spawning and all my fish live long enough to die of old age (or jump out) That is all I can hope for
Here is a thread I started on fish immunity. https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/a-discussion-on-immunity.209701/
