I purchased approximately 13 mixed age (mostly juvenile) cherry reds about a month ago. As of yesterday, I was able to count four new additions, and assume that there...

I'm not qualified to voice an opinion on the rights or wrongs of the op's intent. FWIW I've seen a few threads that contained people voicing concerns with particular places of business...I think the problem arises when we start essentially advertising for other sellers/businesses on Mustafa's own si...

The local petsmart here in Destin has them as well. It was boderline funny to read the card with the max size of 1" and look in the tank at 3" specimens. It is a shame that the chains are so clueless....it really hurts the popularity of the hobby along with the animals themselves. It alway...

yucca, I'm just about to go get some magnolia leaves out of my backyard to soak a bit....let me know how your experiment goes! I think I'm going to lay a few over a normal substrate to see what happens when I start my shrimp only tank next month. Like you, I'm also looking forward to giving adult re...

thanks for the input...much appreciated! I've seen several pics on this site and others with the upside down grazing newjohn mentioned and I think that may steer me to the Hydro...

I ran across an auction on aquabid and it looks impressive..... I've never had a sponge filter in my experience...I'm a Fluval guy I guess and I thought ...

thanks to all contributors

I'd just like to pass along my thanks to all those that contribute to this forum. I've been a FW aquarium enthusiast for a good while now, and am just beginning to get interested in invertebrates (the article in TFH was like throwing fuel on a fire).
