Sorry I didn't get back to you in time, I had a baby lol. Like really Literally lol. Anyways it was this BRIGHT green color and it FILLED my ENTIRE tank! But I moved to a new apartment on June 1ST, and the fish went to my mom's (Qattarra) tank for safe keeping while to re-do my 55 gal to put them back in unless she wants to give me something else to add to it. (MOM o-0?- I loveeee you lol ) I ended up giving away about 20 gallons of it to people who responded to me on Kijiji and Craigslist- Imagine people actually want this icky stuff

Hi guys, I accidently created a BEAUTIFUL micro algae bloom. Does anyone want a couple gallons of water from my tank? Other than that I plan on throwing a blanket over my tank and depriving them of sunlight to kill them off. (I don't particularly want the algae in my tank) I know that there are some people who want this and have a hard time getting it to the point where I have it, so I thought I would offer it up.

I am with you on this one, Bettas seem to be happy in a cup of water mixed with sludge They usually aren't picky for habitats but they definitely like to have a small space with little to no water movement. In my experience and I have kept several bettas since I was 15, and all of them lived in a flower vase for about 6-7 years each, I think their life span is supposed to be around 4-5. Currently I have a beautiful blood red betta, who every time I try to clean the tank he gets mad at me and pretty much I let the water go down to about 75% then I add fresh water and a bit of prime (TINY BIT!) and to be honest he loves it, he is super hardy and I think this lil guy could live in a mud puddle and be just as happy.

I have an almost year old blood red betta, he is super hardy, it seems I start to clean his tank and he hates it, loves to live in a swampy like bowl, in any case, I think he is ready to breed he makes a huge bubble nest every time I clean and he flares up when I put greeting cards around him. If you are interested let me know. I am curious to see what kind of babies he would produce

ok so... my next plan... http://i846.photobucket.com/albums/ab22/Me_Ako/043.jpg alright, so then what should I do, now that I have done a ton of research and everyone has been saying "bad idea" I guess I will just keep visiting the rays at WEM. But now I want something cool in this tank- again 80gal. My other tank has cichlids. I want something predator like. Any suggestions?

thanks for the advice, I am hoping that an 80 g will be suitable as I said as it has a wider bottom than a regular tank. Long enough so I can get a custom built in the meantime. I am not sure of the measurements yet all I know is I need a stool to be able to reach to the other side when I helped my friend clean it. It's not as deep as a regular tank either. I do want a larger tank and eventually we will have a really big one, but the rays should stay small enough for the 1st year we should be ok. Have you seen the ones at WEM, their enclosure is really not that big at all.. in fact I think my tank is almost equal to theirs but more rectangular.

In my experience, I had some barbs before I had cichlids (way more fun to breed) and I found that the stuff your describing is what they used to do too, but I also found the "odd duck out" was the one they would start to pick on once they established a mating pair...

it's funny actually, I had convicts that bred like crazy in a 5 gal tank, I used all fry for food. I think any size will do, especially if they bred they were in the 5.

Hi my hubby and I are looking into getting sting rays. We were at the WEM sea caverns and had so much fun playing with the sting rays in their tank. We have a 55 g cichlid tank I have kept with GREAT success and lots of breeding. My friend is selling us an 80 gal tank and it has a wide bottom, so we're seriously thinking of getting sting rays. I would love more info and advice, we're going to set it up right away and throw some gold fish in their to start my lil' bio dome up then in a few months we would like some rays in there.
