I heard epsom salts can be used to take down swelling in fish. But you'll have to do your own reading.

Got an order coming in from http://www.canadianaquatics.com/ on the 14th. Could jump in on it. I believe they have some betta pictures on their website.

You could try aquabiding them.

My clown loaches seemed to keep a few snails as pets. They would even pick them up and right-side them at times. But if I forgot to feed the loaches for a day the snails were dinner.

check your oxygen levels

it will be at the top of your google search.

You can order a large piece from Afishionados.

did you install it with the suction cups and have it in the orientation the instructions stated?

All caves fired nice and have been stuck in the aquarium today. Total cost of firing for 9 caves was $10.25.

I bought my clay and had it fired here..

I'd like to know what a beautiful micro algae bloom looks like? photo?

I've been watching bristlenose plecos eat a decomposing piece of lettuce for the last week.

I didnt know bristle nose plecos ate decomposing plant material but it is one of the fish I will get later on.

Thanks

All I know is they're on the piece of lettuce and it's disappearing.

I've been watching bristlenose plecos eat a decomposing piece of lettuce for the last week.

I've been told your Temp of water might be to low...the higher temp the ick can't survive just don't boil your fish...in the low 80's.

You're lieing. Ich can survive just fine at every temperature your fish can survive at. Though there may be differences between strains. Sometimes uping the temperature can just speed up it's life cycle and kill your fish faster.

Thanks for the identification guys. That plant was pretty much 'dead' 2 weeks ago with only two leaves. And today I have two =). Might be a good one for my clown loach tank.

My buddy got this plant from bigal's and pretty much killed it. I have a plant experimentation tank and managed to reproduce it with hormones. Well, I have no idea what it is. I believe it may be in one of the display tanks at Big Al's closest to the salt water lighting section. Also if anyone knows why my four leaf clover just produces one leaf at a time?

Might attend. What are the popular methods for transportation to Winnipeg?

I bought my first one a few years ago as a full grown adult albino longfin that was a real showpiece for $70

There are lots around and they breed easily. I think I have around 40 in my tank right now.

Can't donate a kiln, but I do have one for sale. Has a total of about 9 cubic feet of firing space.

9 cubic feet is overkill. I might have a method to do a small one using a tiger torch. I'm just not sure of the specifics of how long I have to heat the ceramics up for, how long I have to hold it at that temperature. And I don't currently own a method of measuring how hot the ceramics are. At my old job I used to be the ladle maker in the foundry to which I would then heat up the whole ladle with a tiger torch.

I made three. Hope these are a little bit more natural for the plecos

I can definitely make a cone type shape. The caves on average are 6" long and will have a 1.5" to 2" opening. Though some may be a bit smaller. I have been told these caves will shrink during firing. I'll try to get around to making some cones tonight. I hope to put together a bit of a bulk order for firing(because that cost money unless someone can donate a kiln for a few days). I have been wondering what the butterfly plecos would prefer since they haven't wedged themselves into any driftwood and seem to prefer shade under a leafy plant.

My new attempt. I took a rollingpin on cloth and stretched out the clay several times. Also removing air pockets. I then cut a square out and joined it end to end. I then pinched one side. These are ready to be heated up to 1000F when they are dry.

I bought 25 lbs of clay today for $28. Which is a lot of clay(think about a large margarine tub). I'm going to make my own and get them fired. Oh and it's the real non toxic clay(not polymer or glue clay). Let me know if anyone else is interested in doing this with me. Chances are I'll have a lot of clay left over.

strips are fine. But it's good to get results double checked. Otherwise do a water change.

Make sure the fish are kept in clean healthy conditions and their own immune systems will take over. By the way while turning up the heat does boost their immune system in some fish. It also speeds up the life cycle of ich. You could also add an amount of salt to the water(aquarium not table).
